Subsequent Events
- As previously announced, on April 1, 2023, the Company completed the sale of City Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Windmark Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Windmark”) to Alliant Insurance Services in an all cash transaction.
Curtis Griffith, South Plains’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our results this quarter speak directly to the strength and financial soundness of City Bank as well as the customer relationships that we have developed over many years as we grew our deposit base 12% annualized, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, and ended the first quarter with an estimated 17% uninsured or uncollateralized deposits, an improvement from year end 2022 of 26%. We are also in a strong liquidity position with $1.75 billion of available borrowing capacity at quarter end from the FHLB Dallas and the Federal Reserve’s discount window and Bank Term Funding Program. Additionally, the sale of Windmark on April 1st has provided significant additional capital to augment our already strong capital position. In this time of economic uncertainty and unexpected difficulties in the banking sector, we believe it is prudent to maintain our capital well above the regulatory requirements and to also maintain our strict credit culture because we will not sacrifice credit quality in our loan portfolio for growth.”
Results of Operations, Quarter Ended March 31, 2023
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $34.3 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $36.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $29.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. Net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.75% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 3.88% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 3.33% for the first quarter of 2022. The average yield on loans was 5.78% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 5.59% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 4.80% for the first quarter of 2022. The average cost of deposits was 136 basis points for the first quarter of 2023, which is 39 basis points higher than the fourth quarter of 2022 and 113 basis points higher than the first quarter of 2022.
Interest income was $47.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $46.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $33.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. Interest income increased $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2023 from the fourth quarter of 2022, which was comprised of increases of $903 thousand in loan interest income and $317 thousand in interest income from securities and other interest-earning assets. The growth in loan interest income was primarily due to an increase of $33.3 million in average loans outstanding and the rising short-term interest rate environment, partially offset by a $0.9 million purchase discount principal and interest recovery recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in interest income on securities and other interest-earning assets was primarily due to continued rising market short-term interest rates. Interest income increased $14.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase of average loans of $296.3 million, securities purchases, and higher market interest rates during the period.
Interest expense was $13.1 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $9.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. Interest expense increased $3.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and $10.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of significantly rising short-term interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities, with the increase being mainly comprised of interest expense on deposits.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income was $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $23.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the seasonal decrease of $1.4 million in income from insurance activities and a decrease of $491 thousand in mortgage banking activities revenue. The decrease in mortgage banking activities revenues was mainly the result of a $2.0 million fair value write-down of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio compared to the write-down of $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase of $14.8 million in interest rate lock commitments, as the residential mortgage market experienced overall lower market interest rates compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to a decline of $11.4 million in mortgage banking activities revenue as mortgage loan originations declined $148.5 million as a result of higher market interest rates and a reduction in the number of mortgage loan originators.
Noninterest expense was $32.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $32.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $37.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. The 1.1% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2022 was largely the result of declines in legal, marketing, and property repair and maintenance expense, partially offset by an increase in personnel expense. The decrease in noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by a reduction of $3.0 million in mortgage personnel costs and $830 thousand in other variable mortgage-based expenses due to the decline in mortgage loan originations, in addition to a decrease of $789 thousand in legal expenses.
Loan Portfolio and Composition
Loans held for investment were $2.79 billion as of March 31, 2023, compared to $2.75 billion as of December 31, 2022 and $2.45 billion as of March 31, 2022. The $40.6 million, or 1.5%, increase during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 remained relationship-focused and occurred primarily in commercial real estate loans and residential mortgage loans, partially offset by a decrease in residential construction loans. As of March 31, 2023, loans held for investment increased $335.0 million, or 13.7% year over year, from March 31, 2022, primarily attributable to strong organic loan growth.
Deposits and Borrowings
Deposits totaled $3.51 billion as of March 31, 2023, compared to $3.41 billion as of December 31, 2022 and $3.45 billion as of March 31, 2022. Deposits increased by $101.6 million, or 3.0%, in the first quarter of 2023 from December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, deposits increased $57.9 million, or 1.7% year over year, from March 31, 2022. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $1.11 billion as of March 31, 2023, compared to $1.15 billion as of December 31, 2022 and $1.13 billion as of March 31, 2022. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 31.7% of total deposits as of March 31, 2023. The quarterly growth in deposits was mainly the result of increased focus on liquidity and occurred predominately in our public fund deposits. The year-over-year increase in deposits is primarily a result of the noted growth in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by deposit outflows experienced in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Asset Quality
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2023 of $1.0 million, compared to $248 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2022 and a negative provision of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company continued to largely experience stable credit metrics in the loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2023. The provision during the first quarter of 2023 was largely attributable to growth in loans held for investment and unfunded loan commitments. Forecasted economic conditions continue to remain uncertain due to the interest rate environment and persistent high inflation levels in the United States, and provisions for credit losses may be necessary in future periods.
The ratio of allowance for credit losses to loans held for investment was 1.42% as of March 31, 2023, compared to 1.43% as of December 31, 2022 and 1.62% as of March 31, 2022.
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets as of March 31, 2023 was 0.19%, compared to 0.20% as of December 31, 2022 and 0.33% at March 31, 2022. Annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) were 0.09% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 0.09% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 0.06% for the first quarter of 2022.
Capital
Book value per share increased to $21.57 at March 31, 2023, compared to $20.97 at December 31, 2022. The growth was mainly driven by an increase of $7.0 million of net income after dividends paid and a $4.7 million dollar increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The increase in AOCI was attributed to the rise in fair value of our available for sale securities and fair value hedges, net of tax, as a result of decreases in longer-term market interest rates during the period.
