    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 26 10月 2023 08:30:01   America/New_York

    WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Bancorporation, Inc. (Nasdaq: WTBA; the “Company”), parent company of West Bank, today reported third quarter 2023 net income of $5.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, compared to second quarter 2023 net income of $5.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, and third quarter 2022 net income of $11.6 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share. On October 25, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share. The dividend is payable on November 22, 2023, to stockholders of record on November 8, 2023.

    David Nelson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “West Bank and the banking industry are healthy and strong. While West Bank’s earnings have been negatively impacted by the unprecedented size and pace of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate increases over the last 18 months, we remain committed to delivering high quality services and products, building strong relationships and delivering long-term shareholder value.”

    David Nelson added, “Our capital position is strong and our credit quality continues to be pristine. West Bank had no loans past due more than 30 days and only one nonaccrual loan at the end of the third quarter. Our credit risk management team remains focused on the economic uncertainties that are ahead and the volatile interest rate environment.”

    Third Quarter 2023 Compared to Second Quarter 2023 Overview

    • Loans increased $42.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, or 6.1 percent annualized.
    • A provision for credit losses of $200 thousand was recorded in the third quarter of 2023, compared to no provision in the second quarter of 2023. The provision in the third quarter of 2023 was directly associated with loan growth.
    • The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.99 percent at September 30, 2023, compared to 1.00 percent at June 30, 2023. Nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2023 consisted of one loan with a balance of $303 thousand, in comparison to one loan with a balance of $309 thousand at June 30, 2023.
    • Loan swap fees of $431 thousand were recorded in the third quarter of 2023, compared to none in the second quarter of 2023.
    • Deposits decreased $80.8 million, or 2.8 percent, in the third quarter of 2023. Brokered deposits totaled $237.0 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $230.7 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $6.3 million. Excluding brokered deposits, deposits decreased $87.1 million, or 3.3 percent, during the third quarter of 2023. The decline in deposits was primarily attributable to customers using their own liquidity to fund business transactions, instead of incurring debt, and customers seeking higher yielding investment options. As of September 30, 2023, estimated uninsured deposits, which excludes deposits in the IntraFi® reciprocal network, brokered deposits and public funds protected by state programs, were approximately 28.0 percent of total deposits.
    • Borrowed funds increased to $705.1 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $593.9 million at June 30, 2023. The increase included $77.4 million in federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings and $35.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) one-month rolling advances hedged with long-term interest rate swaps.
    • The efficiency ratio (a non-GAAP measure) was 60.83 percent for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 62.83 percent for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in the efficiency ratio was primarily due to the increase in noninterest income and decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by the decrease in net interest income.
    • Net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis (a non-GAAP measure), was 1.91 percent for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 2.02 percent for the second quarter of 2023. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 was $16.6 million, compared to $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2023. The rising cost of deposits and borrowed funds and the change in mix of funding has increased interest expense faster than the increase in interest income from loan repricing and loan originations.
    • The tangible common equity ratio was 5.51 percent at September 30, 2023, compared to 5.90 percent at June 30, 2023. The decline is attributable to the increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, primarily driven by the negative effect that rising interest rates have had on the unrealized market value adjustment of our available for sale investment portfolio.

    Third Quarter 2023 Compared to Third Quarter 2022 Overview

    • Loans increased $235.6 million at September 30, 2023, or 9.0 percent, compared to September 30, 2022.
    • Deposits decreased $67.3 million at September 30, 2023, compared to September 30, 2022. Included in deposits were brokered deposits totaling $237.0 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $258.1 million at September 30, 2022. Excluding brokered deposits, deposits decreased $46.2 million, or 1.8 percent as of September 30, 2023 compared to September 30, 2022. The remaining decline in deposits was primarily attributable to customers using their own liquidity to fund business transactions, instead of incurring debt, and customers seeking higher yielding investment options.
    • Borrowed funds increased to $705.1 million at September 30, 2023, compared to $460.3 million at September 30, 2022. The increase included $190.0 million in FHLB one-month rolling advances hedged with long-term interest rate swaps and $57.0 million in federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings.
    • The efficiency ratio (a non-GAAP measure) was 60.83 percent for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 43.16 percent for the third quarter of 2022. Tax-equivalent net interest income decreased in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to the increased cost of deposits and borrowed funds. Additionally, noninterest expense increased and noninterest income decreased.
    • Net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis (a non-GAAP measure), was 1.91 percent for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 2.78 percent for the third quarter of 2022. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 was $16.6 million, compared to $23.0 million for the third quarter of 2022. In 2022 and year-to-date in 2023, the rising cost of deposits and borrowed funds and the change in mix of funding increased interest expense faster than the increase in interest income from loan repricing and loan originations.

    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

    This report contains references to financial measures that are not defined in GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the Company’s presentation of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis and the presentation of the efficiency ratio on an adjusted and FTE basis, excluding certain income and expenses. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors to analyze and evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These measures are considered standard measures of comparison within the banking industry. Additionally, management believes providing measures on a FTE basis enhances the comparability of income arising from taxable and nontaxable sources. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be considered an alternative to the Company’s GAAP results. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis and efficiency ratio on an adjusted and FTE basis.

    (1) Computed on a tax-equivalent basis using a federal income tax rate of 21 percent, adjusted to reflect the effect of the nondeductible interest expense associated with owning tax-exempt securities and loans. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the financial results, as it enhances the comparability of income arising from taxable and nontaxable sources.
    (2) The efficiency ratio expresses noninterest expense as a percent of fully taxable equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, excluding specific noninterest income and expenses. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the Company's financial performance. It is a standard measure of comparison within the banking industry. A lower ratio is more desirable.
