来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 25 7月 2024 07:00:07 America/New_York
NEW YORK, July 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY), the holding company for Valley National Bank, today reported net income for the second quarter 2024 of $70.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, as compared to the first quarter 2024 net income of $96.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, and net income of $139.1 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2023. Excluding all non-core income and charges, our adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $71.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2024, $99.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, for the first quarter 2024, and $147.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2023. See further details below, including a reconciliation of our non-GAAP adjusted net income, in the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables.
Ira Robbins, CEO commented, "During the quarter we took steps to incrementally build balance sheet flexibility as we progress towards the goals that we have previously laid out. These efforts had the combined impact of enhancing regulatory capital and reducing our commercial real estate concentration as a percent of regulatory capital. As it relates to credit quality, our reported non-accrual and past due loans were generally stable at June 30, 2024. The allowance to loan coverage ratio trended higher, but in line with our expectations, reflecting, among other factors, our continuous monitoring and internal risk classification of commercial loans. The increase in the provision also resulted, in part, from specific reserves, a single commercial and industrial loan charge-off and a single commercial real estate loan charge-off. We continue to focus on accelerating commercial and industrial loan growth and core deposit growth as we further diversify and strengthen our balance sheet."
Mr. Robbins continued, "The sequential increase in net interest income was the result of both interest income growth and interest expense reduction relative to the first quarter 2024. We continue to work to optimize our funding base from a pricing and composition perspective. While fee income compressed during the second quarter, expenses remain well-controlled and we believe we are positioned for pre-provision earnings growth through the remainder of the year."
Key financial highlights for the second quarter 2024:
- Net Interest Income and Margin: Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $403.0 million for the second quarter 2024 increased $8.1 million compared to the first quarter 2024 and decreased $18.3 million as compared to the second quarter 2023. The increase from the first quarter 2024 was mostly due to additional interest income from targeted growth within our available for sale securities portfolio, continued expansion of the yield on average loans and a four basis point decline in the cost of average interest bearing liabilities. Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis increased by 5 basis points to 2.84 percent in the second quarter 2024 as compared to 2.79 percent for the first quarter 2024. See the "Net Interest Income and Margin" section below for more details.
- Loan Portfolio: Total loans increased $389.7 million, or 3.1 percent on an annualized basis, to $50.3 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 mainly as a result of our focus on new commercial and industrial loan production during the second quarter 2024. Strong indirect automobile loan originations from our dealer network, as well as modest organic commercial real estate loan volumes also contributed to the growth in total loans during the second quarter 2024. Loans held for sale decreased $41.9 million to $19.9 million at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 mostly due to the previously disclosed sale of $34.1 million of construction loans at par during April 2024. See the "Loans" section below for more details.
- Deposits: Total average deposits increased $807.2 million during the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 driven by higher average balances across several deposit categories, including non-interest bearing deposits. Actual ending balances for deposits increased $1.0 billion to $50.1 billion at June 30, 2024 as compared to $49.1 billion at March 31, 2024 mainly due to higher levels of indirect customer certificates of deposit, partially offset by period-end balance fluctuations mostly within direct commercial customer deposit accounts. During the second quarter 2024, management entered into fair value swaps with a combined notional value of approximately $400 million that will effectively convert a portion of the fixed rate indirect time deposit portfolio to variable interest rates starting in the first quarter 2025. See the "Deposits" section below for more details.
- Credit Risk Transfer: During June 2024, we completed a synthetic credit risk transfer transaction, consisting of a credit default swap, related to approximately $1.5 billion of our $1.8 billion automobile loan portfolio at June 30, 2024. While we have retained the auto loans on-balance sheet, the new credit protection significantly reduced the risk-weighted assets associated with these loans for regulatory capital purposes. As a result, Valley’s total risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 capital ratios benefited by approximately 20 basis points at June 30, 2024. Total transaction costs included $400 thousand of one-time charges and $1.1 million of premium expense recorded in other expense during the second quarter 2024. The premium expense associated with the credit protection is estimated to be approximately $6.0 million for the remainder of 2024. See the "Capital Adequacy" section below for more details.
- Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses for Loans: The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $532.5 million and $487.3 million at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, representing 1.06 percent and 0.98 percent of total loans at each respective date. During the second quarter 2024, we recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $82.1 million as compared to $45.3 million and $6.3 million for the first quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023, respectively. The increase in the second quarter 2024 provision was mainly due to higher quantitative reserves allocated to commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loan growth, and additional specific reserves and charge-offs associated with the revaluation of collateral dependent commercial loans at June 30, 2024.
- Credit Quality: Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) decreased to 0.14 percent of total loans at June 30, 2024 as compared to 0.15 percent at March 31, 2024, while non-accrual loans increased to 0.60 percent of total loans at June 30, 2024 as compared to 0.58 percent at March 31, 2024. Net loan charge-offs totaled $36.8 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to $23.6 million and $8.6 million for the first quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023, respectively. The loan charge-offs in the second quarter 2024 included partial charge-offs totaling a combined $31.6 million related to two commercial loan relationships. See the "Credit Quality" section below for more details.
- Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income decreased $10.2 million to $51.2 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 mainly due to previously anticipated decreases in periodic revenue associated with our tax credit advisory subsidiary (within wealth management and trust fees) and net gains on sale of assets totaling $4.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Other income also decreased $5.5 million as compared to first quarter 2024 due, in part, to the decline in the valuation of certain equity method investments at June 30, 2024. These decreases were partially offset by increases in swap fees related to commercial loan transactions (within capital market fees), insurance commissions and bank owned life insurance income.
- Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense decreased $2.8 million to $277.5 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 largely due to a lower FDIC insurance assessment expense. During the second quarter 2024 and first quarter 2024, we recorded additional estimated expenses of $1.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, related to the FDIC special assessment. The decrease was partially offset by higher professional and legal expense and other expense during the second quarter 2024. Other expense increased $1.5 million from the first quarter 2024 partially due to costs related to the loan credit risk transfer transaction (described above).
- Efficiency Ratio: Our efficiency ratio was 59.62 percent for the second quarter 2024 as compared to 59.10 percent and 55.59 percent for the first quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.
- Performance Ratios: Annualized return on average assets (ROA), shareholders’ equity (ROE) and tangible ROE were 0.46 percent, 4.17 percent and 5.95 percent for the second quarter 2024, respectively. Annualized ROA, ROE, and tangible ROE, adjusted for non-core income and charges, were 0.47 percent, 4.24 percent and 6.05 percent for the second quarter 2024, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $403.0 million for the second quarter 2024 increased $8.1 million compared to the first quarter 2024 and decreased $18.3 million as compared to the second quarter 2023. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $4.8 million to $834.8 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 mostly due to additional interest income from targeted investment purchases within the available for sale securities portfolio, as well as higher average overnight interest bearing deposits with banks during the second quarter 2024. A higher yield on average loans also contributed to the increase in interest income, but was more than offset by the impact of lower average loan balances during the second quarter 2024 mostly caused by the sale of certain commercial loans in the first quarter 2024 and April 2024. Total interest expense decreased $3.3 million to $431.8 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 mainly due to greater utilization of long-term FHLB borrowings and indirect customer time deposits as liquidity funding sources and a reduction in higher cost short-term FHLB borrowings starting in March 2024. See the "Deposits" and "Other Borrowings" sections below for more details.
Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 2.84 percent for the second quarter 2024 increased by 5 basis points from 2.79 percent for the first quarter 2024 and decreased 10 basis points from 2.94 percent for the second quarter 2023. The increase as compared to the first quarter 2024 was largely driven by the combination of a higher yield on average interest earning assets and a decline in the cost of average interest bearing liabilities. The yield on average interest earning assets increased by 2 basis points to 5.88 percent on a linked quarter basis largely due to higher yielding investment purchases and new loan originations during the second quarter 2024. The overall cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 4 basis points to 4.15 percent for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 primarily due to a reduction in both higher cost short-term FHLB borrowings and government banking non-maturity deposit account balances. Our cost of total average deposits was 3.18 percent for the second quarter 2024 as compared to 3.16 percent and 2.45 percent for the first quarter 2024 and the second quarter 2023, respectively.
Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings
Loans. Total loans increased $389.7 million, or 3.1 percent on an annualized basis, to $50.3 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024. Commercial and industrial loans grew by $376.2 million, or 16.5 percent on an annualized basis, to $9.5 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 largely due to our stronger focus on new loan production within this category. Total commercial real estate (including construction) loans increased $63.4 million, or only 0.8 percent on an annualized basis, to $31.8 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 as we remained highly selective on new originations and projects. Automobile loan balances increased by $62.3 million, or 14.7 percent on an annualized basis, to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 mainly due to continued consumer demand generated by our indirect auto dealer network and low prepayment activity within the portfolio. Other consumer loans decreased $122.2 million, or 39.7 percent on an annualized basis, to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 primarily due to the negative impact of high market interest rates on the demand and usage of collateralized personal lines of credit.
Deposits. Actual ending balances for deposits increased $1.0 billion to $50.1 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 mainly due to an increase of $1.5 billion in time deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $349.8 million in savings, NOW and money market deposits and a decrease of $155.6 million in non-interest bearing deposits. The increase in time deposits was mainly due to a $1.7 billion increase in indirect customer CDs. During the second quarter 2024, management entered into fair value swap transactions with a combined notional value of approximately $400 million that will effectively convert a portion of its fixed rate indirect CD portfolio to variable interest rates starting in the first quarter 2025 and expiring at various dates during the second quarters 2026 and 2027. Non-interest bearing deposit and savings, NOW and money market deposit balances declined at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 partly due to period-end fluctuations within certain direct commercial customer deposit accounts. Non-interest bearing deposits; savings, NOW and money market deposits; and time deposits represented approximately 22 percent, 49 percent and 29 percent of total deposits as of June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to 23 percent, 51 percent and 26 percent of total deposits as of March 31, 2024, respectively.
Other Borrowings. Short-term borrowings decreased $11.5 million to $63.8 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 mainly due to a moderate decline in securities sold under repurchase agreements. Long-term borrowings totaled $3.3 billion at June 30, 2024 and also remained relatively unchanged as compared to March 31, 2024.
Credit Quality
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs). Total NPAs, consisting of non-accrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets, increased $24.2 million to $312.9 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024. Non-accrual commercial real estate loans increased $23.0 million to $123.0 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 mainly due to two additional non-performing loan relationships totaling $24.1 million placed on non-accrual status during the second quarter 2024. Non-accrual loans represented 0.60 percent of total loans at June 30, 2024 as compared to 0.58 percent of total loans at March 31, 2024. OREO increased $8.0 million at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 due to the foreclosure and transfer of two commercial real estate properties from the loan portfolio during the second quarter 2024.
Accruing Past Due Loans. Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) decreased $2.0 million to $72.4 million, or 0.14 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2024 as compared to $74.4 million, or 0.15 percent of total loans at March 31, 2024. Loans 30 to 59 days past due decreased $851 thousand to $46.0 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024. Loans 60 to 89 days past due decreased $2.3 million to $11.9 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 mostly due to a commercial real estate loan relationship totaling $3.7 million at March 31, 2024 that migrated from this past due category to non-accrual loans during the second quarter 2024. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest increased $1.1 million to $14.5 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 largely due to one commercial real estate loan. All loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest are well-secured and in the process of collection.
Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans and Unfunded Commitments. The following table summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to loan categories and the allocation as a percentage of each loan category at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023:

The loan charge-offs in the second quarter 2024 included partial charge-offs totaling $20.6 million and $11.0 million related to a single commercial real estate loan relationship and one commercial and industrial loan, respectively. The commercial and industrial loan had specific reserves totaling $8.0 million within the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2024.
The allowance for credit losses for loans, comprised of our allowance for loan losses and unfunded credit commitments, as a percentage of total loans was 1.06 percent at June 30, 2024, 0.98 percent at March 31, 2024, and 0.92 percent at June 30, 2023. For the second quarter 2024, the provision for credit losses for loans totaled $82.1 million as compared to $45.3 million and $6.3 million for the first quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023, respectively. The increased provision for credit losses for the second quarter 2024 was mainly due to higher quantitative reserves allocated to commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loan growth, and additional specific reserves and charge-offs associated with the revaluation of collateral dependent commercial loans at June 30, 2024. The allowance for unfunded credit commitments declined to $13.2 million at June 30, 2024 mainly due to a continued decline in the level of our commercial real estate loan commitments pipeline.
Capital Adequacy
Valley's total risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 12.18 percent, 9.55 percent, 9.99 percent and 8.19 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2024 as compared to 11.88 percent, 9.34 percent, 9.78 percent, 8.20 percent, respectively at March 31, 2024. The increases in the total risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 capital ratios as compared to March 31, 2024 were largely due to the aforementioned credit risk transfer transaction related to a portion of the automobile loan portfolio executed in June 2024.

(1) Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a tax equivalent basis using a 21 percent federal tax rate. Valley believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and net interest margin arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC rules. (2) Non-GAAP Reconciliations. This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the Notes below, which has been determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that management uses in its analysis of Valley's performance. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to both management and investors in understanding Valley’s underlying operational performance, business and performance trends, and may facilitate comparisons of our current and prior performance with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning, forecasting and analysis purposes. Management believes that Valley’s presentation and discussion of this supplemental information, together with the accompanying reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, also allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be calculated differently from similar measures disclosed by other companies.
