Wintrust Financial Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

ROSEMONT, Ill., Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wintrust Financial Corporation (“Wintrust”, “the Company”, “we” or “our”) (Nasdaq: WTFC) announced net income of $143.0 million or $2.21 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2022, an increase in diluted earnings per common share of 48% compared to the second quarter of 2022. The Company recorded net income of $364.9 million or $5.78 per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2022 compared to net income of $367.4 million or $6.00 per diluted common share for the same period of 2021.

Edward J. Wehmer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am very pleased with our third quarter results as we reported strong net income and record quarterly pre-tax, pre-provision income (non-GAAP). By design, we were able to benefit significantly from the recent rise in interest rates as net interest income and net interest margin showed substantial growth. We expect that momentum to continue as we remain asset sensitive to changes in interest rates. In addition, we added strong loan growth in the third quarter, which paired with margin expansion, is expected to drive meaningful revenue growth in future quarters."

Highlights of the Third Quarter of 2022:
Comparative information to the second quarter of 2022

• Net interest income increased by $63.6 million or by 19% as compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to improvement in net interest margin and loan growth.
  • Net interest margin increased by 42 basis points as the upward repricing of earning assets significantly outpaced increases in deposit costs.
• Total loans increased by $1.1 billion, or 12% on an annualized basis. In addition, total loans as of September 30, 2022 were $736 million higher than average total loans in the third quarter of 2022 which is expected to benefit future quarters.
• Total assets increased by $1.4 billion totaling $52.4 billion as of September 30, 2022 and total deposits increased by $204 million.
• Recorded a provision for credit losses of $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 primarily related to loan growth and $3.2 million of net charge-offs or three basis points of average total loans on an annualized basis.
• The allowance for credit losses on our core loan portfolio is approximately 1.26% of the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2022 down from 1.31% as of June 30, 2022. See Table 12 for more information.
• Non-performing loans remained low but increased to 0.26% of total loans, as of September 30, 2022, from 0.20% as of June 30, 2022. See “Asset Quality” section for more information.
• Mortgage banking revenue decreased to $27.2 million for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to $33.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower production revenue as a result of declining mortgage origination volume in the current rising rate environment.

Other items of note from the Third Quarter of 2022

• The Company recorded net negative fair value adjustments of $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 related to fair value changes in certain mortgage assets, see “Non-Interest Income” section for more information.
• Net losses on investment securities totaled $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 related to changes in the value of equity securities as compared to net losses of $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2022.
• The effective tax rate increased as the Company recorded approximately $2.0 million of additional income tax expense related to earnings at its Canadian subsidiary. See “Income Taxes” section for more information.

Mr. Wehmer continued, "The Company experienced robust loan growth as loans increased by $1.1 billion, or 12% on an annualized basis, in the third quarter of 2022. Once again, the loan growth was spread across all of our material loan portfolios as we experienced growth in core commercial, commercial real estate, commercial insurance premium finance receivables and life insurance premium finance receivables. This is the sixth quarter in a row in which all of these portfolios individually increased in balance relative to the prior quarter end. We believe our diversified loan portfolio provides many levers for growth and we remain prudent in our review of credit prospects ensuring our loan growth stays within our conservative credit standards. In addition, in the third quarter we continued to grow unfunded loan commitments which we expect to drive funded loan growth in future quarters. Our loans to deposits ratio ended the quarter at 89.2% within our preferred operating range."

Mr. Wehmer commented, "Net interest income increased by $63.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to improvement in net interest margin as well as an increase in earning assets. Net interest margin increased by 42 basis points as the upward repricing of earning assets significantly outpaced deposit rate changes. We remain asset sensitive to interest rates and believe that in the near term loan yields will continue to reprice at a greater magnitude than deposit costs. Further, we believe, subject to no material change in the consensus projection of interest rates as of this release date, that our net interest margin will continue to expand and should approach 4.00% during the first quarter of 2023.”

Commenting on credit quality, Mr. Wehmer stated, "While uncertain economic conditions may persist in the coming quarters, Wintrust is confident in our ability to navigate such conditions especially given our current credit quality metrics. Non-performing loans comprise only 0.26% of total loans as of September 30, 2022 increasing to $97.6 million as compared to $72.4 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, in part related to $3.2 million of net charge-offs and strong loan growth recorded in the quarter. The allowance for credit losses on our core loan portfolio as of September 30, 2022 is approximately 1.26% of the outstanding balance. We believe that the Company’s reserves remain appropriate and we remain diligent in our review of credit."

Mr. Wehmer concluded, “Our third quarter of 2022 results continued to demonstrate the multi-faceted nature of our business model which we believe uniquely positions us to be successful. We expect to leverage our differentiated, diversified loan portfolio to outperform peers with respect to loan growth which should allow us to continue to expand net interest income. We are focused on taking advantage of market opportunities to prudently deploy liquidity into earning assets including core and niche loans and investment securities while maintaining an interest rate sensitive asset portfolio. We are closely watching our expenses and believe our efficiency ratio will continue to improve. We are opportunistically evaluating the acquisition market for both banks and business lines of various sizes. Of course, we remain diligent in our consideration of acquisition targets and intend to be prudent in our decision making, always seeking to minimize dilution.”

SUMMARY OF RESULTS: 

BALANCE SHEET

Total loans increased by $1.1 billion as core loans increased by $703 million and niche loans increased by $450 million. See Table 1 for more information. As of September 30, 2022, virtually all of the PPP loan balances were forgiven with only $44 million remaining on balance sheet.

Total liabilities increased $1.5 billion in the third quarter of 2022 resulting primarily from a $1.1 billion increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and a $204 million increase in total deposits. The Company utilized $1.0 billion of this funding to purchase investment securities which settled early in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company's loans to deposits ratio ended the quarter at 89.2%. Management believes in substantially funding the Company's balance sheet with core deposits and utilizes brokered or wholesale funding sources on a limited basis to manage its liquidity position as well as for interest rate risk management purposes.

For more information regarding changes in the Company’s balance sheet, see Consolidated Statements of Condition and Tables 1 through 3 in this report.

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the third quarter of 2022, net interest income totaled $401.4 million, an increase of $63.6 million as compared to the second quarter of 2022. The $63.6 million increase in net interest income in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to loan growth and improvement in net interest margin. The Company recognized $463,000 of PPP fee accretion in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $1.7 million of net PPP loan fees that have yet to be recognized in income.

Net interest margin was 3.34% (3.35% on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the third quarter of 2022 compared to 2.92% (2.93% on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the second quarter of 2022. The net interest margin increase as compared to the second quarter of 2022 was due to a 67 basis point increase in yield on earning assets and a 12 basis point increase in net free funds contribution. These improvements were partially offset by a 37 basis point increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The 67 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to a 69 basis point improvement on loan yields and a higher liquidity management asset yield as the Company earned higher yields on interest-bearing deposits with banks. The 37 basis point increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 is primarily due to a 36 basis point increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits primarily related to the increasing rate environment.

Wintrust remains in an asset-sensitive interest rate position. Based on modeled contractual cash flows, including prepayment assumptions, approximately 80% of our current loan balances are projected to reprice or mature in the next 12 months.

For more information regarding net interest income, see Tables 4 through 8 in this report.

ASSET QUALITY

The allowance for credit losses totaled $315.3 million as of September 30, 2022, an increase of $3.1 million as compared to $312.2 million as of June 30, 2022. A provision for credit losses totaling $6.4 million was recorded for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to $20.4 million recorded in the second quarter of 2022. For more information regarding the provision for credit losses, see Table 11 in this report.

Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate to account for expected credit losses. The Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) accounting standard requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the Company’s financial assets as of the reporting date. There can be no assurances, however, that future losses will not significantly exceed the amounts provided for, thereby affecting future results of operations. A summary of the allowance for credit losses calculated for the loan components in each portfolio as of September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and March 31, 2022 is shown on Table 12 of this report.

Net charge-offs totaled $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, as compared to $9.5 million of net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2022. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans were reported as three basis points in the third quarter of 2022 on an annualized basis compared to 11 basis points on an annualized basis in the second quarter of 2022. For more information regarding net charge-offs, see Table 10 in this report.

The Company’s delinquency rates remain low and manageable. For more information regarding past due loans, see Table 13 in this report.

The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.20% as of September 30, 2022, compared to 0.16% at June 30, 2022. Non-performing assets totaled $104.3 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $79.2 million at June 30, 2022. Non-performing loans totaled $97.6 million, or 0.26% of total loans, at September 30, 2022 compared to $72.4 million, or 0.20% of total loans, at June 30, 2022. The increase in non-performing loans in the third quarter of 2022 is primarily driven by one commercial loan credit that moved to a non-accrual status and an increase in administrative 90-day past due premium finance receivables. For more information regarding non-performing assets, see Table 14 in this report.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Wealth management revenue increased $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to increased fees relating to the Company’s tax-deferred like-kind exchange services. Wealth management revenue is comprised of the trust and asset management revenue of The Chicago Trust Company and Great Lakes Advisors, the brokerage commissions, managed money fees and insurance product commissions at Wintrust Investments and fees from tax-deferred like-kind exchange services provided by the Chicago Deferred Exchange Company.

Mortgage banking revenue decreased by $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to lower production revenue as a result of declining mortgage origination volume in the current rising rate environment. The Company also recorded a net loss of $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 relating to fair value changes in certain mortgage assets. This included a $7.5 million increase in the value of mortgage servicing rights related to changes in fair value model assumptions net of economic hedges and a negative $8.0 million valuation related adjustment on the Company’s held-for-sale portfolio of early buy-out exercised loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies which are held at fair value. In addition, the Company recorded a $2.0 million negative valuation adjustment in other income on the Company’s held-for-investment portfolio of early buy-out exercised loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies which are held at fair value. The Company intends to monitor the relationship of these assets and will seek to minimize the earnings impact of fair value changes in future quarters.

Loans originated for sale were $661 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $160 million as compared to the second quarter of 2022. The percentage of origination volume from refinancing activities was 18% in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 22% in the second quarter of 2022. Mortgage banking revenue includes revenue from activities related to originating, selling and servicing residential real estate loans for the secondary market.

The Company recognized net losses on investment securities of $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to net losses of $7.8 million recognized in the second quarter of 2022.

Net operating lease income decreased $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 due to lower gains on sale of lease assets recognized in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022.

Other non-interest income increased $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to $2.5 million of losses recognized in the second quarter of 2022 relating to the sale of a property no longer considered for future expansion and the anticipated sale of a former data processing facility.

For more information regarding non-interest income, see Tables 15 and 16 in this report.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022. The $8.8 million increase is primarily related to increased salary and incentive compensation expense. Salary expense increased $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to mid-year compensation increases which included raising the Company’s minimum wage. Commission and incentive compensation increased $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to increased incentive compensation related to the Company’s performance offset somewhat by a lower level of mortgage banking commissions due to the declining mortgage loan origination volumes.

Advertising and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2022 totaled $16.6 million, relatively unchanged as compared to the second quarter of 2022. Marketing costs are incurred to promote the Company's brand, commercial banking capabilities and the Company's various products, to attract loans and deposits and to announce new branch openings as well as the expansion of the Company's non-bank businesses. The level of marketing expenditures depends on the timing of sponsorship programs utilized which are determined based on the market area, targeted audience, competition and various other factors.

Miscellaneous expense in the third quarter of 2022 decreased by $1.7 million as compared to the second quarter of 2022. Miscellaneous expense includes ATM expenses, correspondent bank charges, directors fees, telephone, postage, corporate insurance, dues and subscriptions, problem loan expenses and other miscellaneous operational losses and costs.

For more information regarding non-interest expense, see Table 17 in this report.

INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $57.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $37.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The effective tax rates were 28.53% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 28.21% in the second quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate increased as the Company recorded approximately $2.0 million of additional income tax expense related to earnings at its Canadian subsidiary. The tax, known as GILTI (“Global Intangible Low-taxed Income”) is a U.S. minimum tax on global profits. During the quarter, the impact of the rapid and significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar caused the GILTI tax to be applicable.

Through its community banking unit, the Company provides banking and financial services primarily to individuals, small to mid-sized businesses, local governmental units and institutional clients residing primarily in the local areas the Company services.

(2)   Investment securities includes investment securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, and equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are included within other assets.
(3)   Interest income on tax-advantaged loans, trading securities and investment securities reflects a taxable-equivalent adjustment based on the marginal federal corporate tax rate in effect as of the applicable period.
(4)   See “Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures/Ratios” at Table 18 for additional information on this performance measure/ratio.
(5)   Other earning assets include brokerage customer receivables and trading account securities.
(6)   Loans, net of unearned income, include non-accrual loans.
(7)   Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield earned on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
(8)   Net free funds are the difference between total average earning assets and total average interest-bearing liabilities. The estimated contribution to net interest margin from net free funds is calculated using the rate paid for total interest-bearing liabilities.

 

TABLE 8: INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

As an ongoing part of its financial strategy, the Company attempts to manage the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Management measures its exposure to changes in interest rates by modeling many different interest rate scenarios.

The following interest rate scenarios display the percentage change in net interest income over a one-year time horizon assuming increases of 100 and 200 basis points and a decrease of 100 basis points. The Static Shock Scenario results incorporate actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for balance sheet instruments following an instantaneous, parallel change in market rates based upon a static (i.e. no growth or constant) balance sheet. Conversely, the Ramp Scenario results incorporate management’s projections of future volume and pricing of each of the product lines following a gradual, parallel change in market rates over twelve months. Actual results may differ from these simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies. The interest rate sensitivity for both the Static Shock and Ramp Scenario is as follows:

Static Shock Scenario		+200 Basis Points			+100 Basis Points			-100 Basis Points
Sep 30, 2022		12.9	%		7.1	%		(8.7	)%

As noted in the table on the previous page, the majority of the Company’s portfolio is tied to LIBOR and SOFR indices which, as shown in the table above, do not mirror the same changes as the Prime rate which has historically moved when the Federal Reserve raises or lowers interest rates. Specifically, the Company has variable rate loans of $5.1 billion tied to one-month LIBOR, $5.7 billion tied to twelve-month LIBOR and $4.6 billion tied to one-month SOFR. The above chart shows:

(1)   The initial allowance for credit losses on purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans acquired during the period measured approximately $2.8 million, of which approximately $2.3 million was charged-off related to PCD loans that met the Company’s charge-off policy at the time of acquisition. After considering these loans that were immediately charged-off, the net impact of PCD allowance for credit losses at the acquisition date was approximately $470,000.

TABLE 18: SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES/RATIOS

The accounting and reporting policies of Wintrust conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company’s performance. These include taxable-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components), taxable-equivalent net interest margin (including its individual components), the taxable-equivalent efficiency ratio, tangible common equity ratio, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity, pre-tax income, excluding provision for credit losses, and pre-tax income, excluding provision for credit losses, adjusted for changes in fair value of MSRs, net of economic hedge and early buy-out loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. Management believes that these measures and ratios provide users of the Company’s financial information a more meaningful view of the performance of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and of the Company’s operating efficiency. Other financial holding companies may define or calculate these measures and ratios differently.

Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company and its banking subsidiaries on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis using tax rates effective as of the end of the period. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis is also used in the calculation of the Company’s efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by total taxable-equivalent net revenue (less securities gains or losses), measures how much it costs to produce one dollar of revenue. Securities gains or losses are excluded from this calculation to better match revenue from daily operations to operational expenses. Management considers the tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share as useful measurements of the Company’s equity. The Company references the return on average tangible common equity as a measurement of profitability. Management considers pre-tax income, excluding provision for credit losses, and pre-tax income, excluding provision for credit losses, adjusted for changes in fair value of MSRs, net of economic hedge and early buy-out loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, as useful measurements of the Company’s core net income.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking information can be identified through the use of words such as “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “contemplate,” “possible,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Forward-looking statements and information are not historical facts, are premised on many factors and assumptions, and represent only management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events. Similarly, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, such as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic (including the continued emergence of variant strains), and which may include, but are not limited to, those listed below and the Risk Factors discussed under Item 1A of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any of the Company’s subsequent SEC filings. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of invoking these safe harbor provisions. Such forward-looking statements may be deemed to include, among other things, statements relating to the Company’s future financial performance, the performance of its loan portfolio, the expected amount of future credit reserves and charge-offs, delinquency trends, growth plans, regulatory developments, securities that the Company may offer from time to time, and management’s long-term performance goals, as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects on financial condition and results of operations from expected developments or events, the Company’s business and growth strategies, including future acquisitions of banks, specialty finance or wealth management businesses, internal growth and plans to form additional de novo banks or branch offices. Actual results could differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including the following:
