Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNTY) (the "Company"), the parent company of Guaranty Bank & Trust, N.A. (the "Bank"), today reported financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company's net income available to common shareholders was $10.7 million, or $0.89 per basic share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $9.2 million, or $0.76 per basic share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and $11.0 million, or $0.91 per basic share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Return on average assets and average equity for the first quarter of 2022 were 1.38% and 14.45%, respectively, compared to 1.20% and 12.06%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 1.60% and 16.01%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in earnings during the first quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, was primarily due to a reverse provision for credit losses of $1.25 million during the first quarter of 2022, in response to the Bank's continued analysis into the effects of COVID-19 on the loan portfolio. Our net core earnings, excluding provisions for credit losses, income taxes and PPP1/PPP2 net income, as well as our core net interest margin, adjusted to exclude the effects of PPP1/PPP2 loans, are described further in tables below.

"We achieved excellent financial results and strong loan growth during the first quarter of 2022. Excluding PPP and warehouse loans, our loan portfolio grew 8.6% during the first quarter and our pipeline currently remains robust across our footprint. Our non-performing assets continue to be very low, and we have seen significant improvements in COVID-related statistics and economic impacts. Due to these factors, we fully reversed the COVID-specific reserves from our allowance for credit losses during this quarter. However, we also adjusted the allowance for our increased concerns related to the current environment of very high inflation, the likely negative impacts of rising rates on the economy, and the geopolitical uncertainty that exists today. These negative adjustments offset a significant portion of the reserves that were released due to our improved outlook as it relates to COVID. While we remain very optimistic about the Texas economy, given these external events and backdrop, we are cautiously optimistic about the overall economy in the short to medium term. Guaranty has a long history of maintaining a very strong balance sheet, including strong liquidity and capital, for times of economic uncertainty," commented Ty Abston, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Strong Loan Growth. The first quarter of 2022 saw strong organic loan growth, increasing $106.0 million, or 5.6%, during the quarter. Excluding PPP and warehouse lending changes, our loans grew $156.8 million, or 8.6%, during the quarter. Our loan growth is a result of internally generated sources and is not from loan purchases from other originators.
  • Solid Net Earnings and Core Earnings. Net earnings have remained consistent quarter-over-quarter. Net core earnings, which exclude provisions for credit losses and income tax, and net PPP income, have trended upwards, demonstrating a consistent core earnings stream. Net core earnings were $10.9 million for the first quarter, compared to $10.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $9.4 million during the first quarter of 2021.
  • Strong Credit Quality. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.08% at March 31, 2022, compared to 0.09% at December 31, 2021 and 0.13% at March 31, 2021. Net charge-offs to average loans (annualized) were 0.02% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 0.04% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and 0.18% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
  • Favorable Asset and Liability Management. Our Bank is slightly asset-sensitive and should see benefits from expected rate increases by the Federal Reserve. During the quarter, we terminated interest rate swaps that hedged $40.0 million of 3-month FHLB advances, resulting in an extraordinary gain of $685,000, and we paid off the FHLB advances. Also during the first quarter of 2022, we deployed excess cash of $270.0 million to purchase short term U.S. treasuries, maturing from August 2022 through March 2024, to take advantage of higher short term yields. As of March 31, 2022, we have $1.29 billion, or 65.0%, or our loan portfolio in variable rate loans. If rates increase as predicted by 50bps in the May and June FOMC meetings, as well as 25bps in the remaining meetings during 2022, approximately $346.2 million, or 26.7%, of the variable rates loans will reprice by December 31, 2022. We are maintaining a conservative stance on our cost of total deposits, given our excess liquidity position, and as of March 31, 2022, 38.1% of our total deposits are non-interest bearing. Anticipating increases in interest rates, on March 4, 2022, we issued $35.0 million in 10-year subordinated notes (refer to our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2022 for more details). Finally, we repurchased 56,237 shares of Company stock during the quarter at an average purchase price per share of $35.44.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Participation in the PPP1 and PPP2 program, as well as large provisions for credit losses in the second quarter of 2020 resulting from the expected effects of COVID-19, has created temporary extraordinary results in the calculation of net earnings and related performance ratios. The following table illustrates net earnings and net core earnings results, which are pre-tax, pre-provision and pre-extraordinary PPP1/PPP2 income, as well as performance ratios for the prior five quarters:

Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021 was $24.3 million and $24.5 million, respectively, a decrease of $168,000, or 0.7%. The slight decline in net interest income resulted from a decrease in interest income of $620,000, or 2.3%, which was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $452,000, or 22.4%, quarter over quarter. Interest and fee income from PPP loans decreased $2.7 million, or 77.7%, while all other loan interest income increased $1.2 million, or 5.9%, during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. In addition, interest income from investment securities increased $1.0 million, or 48.0%, from the same quarter in the prior year.

Net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021 was 3.37% and 3.85%, respectively. Net interest margin decreased 48 basis points primarily due to a decrease in loan yield from 5.20% for the first quarter of 2021 to 4.66% for the first quarter of 2022, a change of 54 basis points, offset somewhat by a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits from 0.42% to 0.29% during the same period, a change of 13 basis points. The decrease in loan yield was primarily due to recognized PPP origination fee income during the prior year quarter. Loan yield, excluding the effect of PPP loans, was 4.59% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 4.79% in the same quarter of the prior year, a decrease of 20 basis points.

Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, increased $303,000, or 1.3%, from $24.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $24.3 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased from 3.39% for the fourth quarter of 2021 to 3.37% for the first quarter of 2022. Loan yield decreased from 4.71% for the fourth quarter of 2021 to 4.66% for the first quarter of 2022, a change of five basis points. Loan yield, excluding the effect of PPP loans, decreased seven basis points from 4.66% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 4.59% in the current quarter. The average yield on interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased three basis points from 0.10% in the fourth quarter of 2021, while the average balance decreased by $88.7 million, or 20.9%, in the current quarter.

The Bank’s participation in the PPP program created temporary extraordinary results in the calculation of net interest margin. To illustrate the impact of the PPP program on net interest margin, the table below excludes PPP1 and PPP2 loans and their associated fees and costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2022:

(1) Interest earned on PPP1 loans consists of interest income of $2,000 and net origination fees recognized in earnings of $3,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

 

(2) Interest earned on PPP2 loans consists of interest income of $87,000 and net origination fees recognized in earnings of $691,000 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

 

(3) Interest earned consists of interest income of $89,000 and net origination fees recognized in earnings of $694,000 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

 

(4) Net interest margin is equal to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, annualized. Taxes are not a part of this calculation.

 

(5) Net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis is equal to net interest income adjusted for nontaxable income divided by average interest-earning assets, annualized, using a marginal tax rate of 21%.

 

(6) Net interest margin is equal to net interest income, net of PPP effects, divided by average interest-earning assets, excluding average PPP loans, annualized. Taxes are not a part of this calculation.

 

(7) Net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis is equal to net interest income, net of PPP effects, adjusted for nontaxable income divided by average interest-earning assets, excluding average PPP loans, annualized, using a marginal tax rate of 21%.

 

(8) The efficiency ratio was calculated by dividing total noninterest expense by net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding securities gains or losses. Taxes are not part of this calculation.

 

(9) The efficiency ratio was calculated by dividing total noninterest expense, net of PPP-related deferred costs, by net interest income, net of PPP effects, plus noninterest income, excluding securities gains or losses. Taxes are not part of this calculation.

 

During the first quarter of 2022, we recorded a reverse provision for credit losses of $1.25 million. At the onset of the COVID pandemic in 2020, we established COVID-specific qualitative factors to estimate the potential impact of the pandemic to our loan portfolio as a whole, which led to a provision during 2020 of $13.2 million. As the economic, health and other impacts of the virus became more clear and cases began to decline, we reduced the COVID-specific qualitative factors during 2021 and fully unwound these factors during the first quarter of 2022. The impact of unwinding the remaining COVID-specific qualitative factors was offset by growth in our loan portfolio and increases in certain of our standard qualitative factors to capture current macro-economic concerns related to inflation, rising interest rates and the war in Ukraine. As of March 31, 2022, our allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.44%.

Noninterest income increased $360,000, or 5.9%, in the first quarter of 2022 to $6.5 million, compared to $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2021. The increase from the same quarter in 2021 was due primarily to an increase in other noninterest income of $601,000, or 25.2%, and an increase in service charges of $147,000, or 17.7%, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in other noninterest income resulted from a net gain of $685,000 from the termination of three interest rate swaps during the first quarter of 2022. The increase in noninterest income was partially offset by a decrease in the gain on sale of loans of $493,000, or 35.3%, a $46,000, or 26.0%, decrease in mortgage fee income and a $125,000, or 51.9%, decrease in warehouse lending fees compared to the same quarter of the prior year.

Noninterest expense increased $1.8 million, or 10.2%, in the first quarter of 2022 to $19.1 million, compared to the first quarter of 2021. The increase in noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2022 was driven primarily by a $1.6 million, or 16.0%, increase in employee compensation and benefits due to increased salaries and higher insurance expense accruals due to increased claims experience. Legal and professional fees also increased $166,000, or 27.5%, from the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to higher employee recruitment fees in the current quarter.

Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2022 increased by $441,000, or 7.3%, from $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 due primarily to an increase in other noninterest income of $617,000, or 28.6%, resulting primarily from the $685,000 net gain on the termination of interest rate swaps described above.

Noninterest expense increased $103,000, or 0.5%, in the first quarter of 2022, from $19.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $166,000, or 27.5%, increase in legal and professional fees and a $332,000, or 3.0%, increase in employee compensation and benefits during the first quarter of 2022. These were partially offset by a decrease in FDIC insurance assessment fees of $67,000, or 22.3%, and a decrease in other noninterest expense of $255,000, or 19.9%.

The Company’s efficiency ratio in the first quarter of 2022 was 61.94%, compared to 63.13% in the prior year quarter and 56.56% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted to remove the effects of PPP-related transactions, the Company’s efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2022 was 63.56%, was 65.21% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and was 65.34% for the first quarter of 2021.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Consolidated assets for the Company totaled $3.19 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $3.09 billion at December 31, 2021 and $2.89 billion at March 31, 2021.

Gross loans increased 5.6%, or $106.0 million, to $2.01 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to loans of $1.91 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in gross loans from the fourth quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022 is primarily due to increased loan originations and advances, which were partially offset by continued forgiveness of PPP loans, which decreased $31.3 million during the quarter. Excluding PPP and warehouse lending loans, gross loans increased $156.8 million, or 8.6%, from December 31, 2021.

Gross loans increased 5.3%, or $101.7 million, from $1.91 billion at March 31, 2021. The increase in gross loans during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 resulted primarily from organic loan growth and was partially offset by a $138.9 million reduction in PPP loan balances during the period. Excluding PPP and warehouse lending loans, gross loans increased $303.2 million, or 18.2%, from March 31, 2021.

Total deposits increased by 4.7%, or $126.6 million, to $2.80 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $2.67 billion at December 31, 2021, and increased 13.0%, or $322.2 million, from $2.48 billion at March 31, 2021. Changes in deposits during these periods appear to be the result of changes in depositor spending habits resulting from economic and other uncertainties.

Shareholders' equity totaled $291.9 million as of March 31, 2022, compared to $302.2 million at December 31, 2021 and $280.1 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease from the previous quarter resulted from the payment of dividends of $2.7 million, repurchase of 56,237 shares of treasury stock for $2.0 million and a decrease in other comprehensive income of $17.2 million during the first quarter of 2022 resulting from fluctuations in the fair market value of securities, and offset by net income of $10.7 million. Although the unrealized losses in other comprehensive income during the quarter do not impact regulatory capital ratios, they did result in a decrease in the tangible common equity ratio from 8.77% as of December 31, 2021 to 8.16% as of March 31, 2022.

In September 2021, we announced the formation of a partnership with CaliberCos, Inc., a vertically integrated alternative asset manager and fund sponsor, in an effort to drive investments that will revitalize communities across Texas through real estate developments. We began to consolidate the financial statements for this investment by our Bank subsidiary that contains a minority interest position during the first quarter of 2022. The newly formed entity had no assets, liabilities or equity until the first quarter of 2022 and had no income or expense during the first quarter of 2022. Further details of this partnership can be found in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 7, 2021.

Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.08% at March 31, 2022 compared to 0.09% at December 31, 2021, and 0.13% at March 31, 2021.

(1) See Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures table.

(2) Net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis is equal to net interest income adjusted for nontaxable income divided by average interest-earning assets, annualized, using a marginal tax rate of 21%.

(3) The efficiency ratio was calculated by dividing total noninterest expense by net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding securities gains or losses. Taxes are not part of this calculation.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “tangible book value per share”, “net core earnings,” “core net interest margin,” and PPP-adjusted metrics are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our results of operations, financial condition and financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Actual results may also be significantly impacted by the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including, among other effects: the impact of the public health crisis; the operation of financial markets; global supply chain disruption; employment levels; market liquidity; the impact of various actions taken in response by the U.S. federal government, the Federal Reserve, other banking regulators, state and local governments; and the impact that all of these factors have on our borrowers, other customers, vendors and counterparties. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, without limitation, the “Risk Factors” referenced in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, other risks and uncertainties listed from time to time in our reports and documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We can give no assurance that any goal or plan or expectation set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this communication, and we do not intend, and assume no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances, except as required by applicable law.
