Second Quarter Highlighted by the Completed Acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares Along With Solid Organic Loan Growth and Record Levels of Non-Interest Income

LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYBT), parent company of Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company, with offices in Louisville, Central and Eastern Kentucky, as well as the Indianapolis and Cincinnati metropolitan markets, today reported earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021. Net income for the second quarter was $4.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, reflecting $18.1 million in merger expenses and $7.4 million in merger related credit loss expense for the quarter. This compares to net income of $13.4 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020. The results for the second quarter of 2021 also included strong organic loan growth and record levels of non-interest income highlighted by wealth management and trust along with card income and treasury management fees.

“The highlight of the second quarter was completing the acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares,” said James A. (Ja) Hillebrand, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The merger added $1.3 billion in assets, $742 million in loans, and $1.0 billion in total deposits to our quarter end balances, and is already having an impact on our operating results, increasing the scale and reach of the Company and providing tremendous opportunity for future revenue growth. This strategic combination enhances our entry into the attractive Central and Eastern Kentucky markets, including the Lexington MSA, Kentucky’s second largest market. While costs associated with the merger impacted second quarter earnings, we believe that the majority of merger related expenses are behind us.”

“We are on track for our system conversion scheduled for August,” Hillebrand continued. “Although additional work remains to complete the full integration of the two companies and realize the expected operating synergies, we are exceptionally pleased with the progress we have made through the dedicated efforts of our employees and expect that, similar to our two prior acquisitions, the acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares will result in significant benefits to our expanding group of clients, communities, employees and shareholders.”

With the completion of the Kentucky Bancshares acquisition, at June 30, 2021, the Company had $6.1 billion in assets, $4.2 billion in net loans and $5.3 billion in total deposits. The combined enterprise, with 63 branch offices, has and will continue to benefit from a diversified geographic footprint with significant growth opportunities.

Another key activity for the first half of 2021 related to the additional COVID-19 stimulus relief, which was signed into law in late 2020, and allowed for a second round of PPP funding through early May. “Consistent with the first round, our team of lenders rose to the challenge. Our participation in the second round of PPP once again stood out in our markets – driving PPP loan originations over $900 million in total. Our expertise and ultimate success in helping our customers not only allowed us to close over 2,100 loans with total originations in excess of $260 million for the second round, but also added new client relationships with strong future growth opportunities,” said Hillebrand.

“Due to further economic forecast improvements, updates to our modeling and continued solid performance of the loan portfolio during the current quarter, we recorded a net benefit of $2.7 million to provision for credit losses for legacy Stock Yards loan portfolio, excluding loans acquired from Kentucky Bancshares. This compares to $5.6 million in credit loss expense for loans in the second quarter a year ago. Additionally, in accordance with CECL, we added an additional $7.4 million in merger related credit loss expense associated with the non-Purchase Credit Deteriorated Kentucky Bancshares loans we acquired, bringing our total allowance for credit losses on loans to $59 million. We feel that we are well-positioned for future growth, having established credit loan loss reserves to total loans (excluding PPP loans), of 1.55%(2) at June 30, 2021,” said Hillebrand.

Additional key factors impacting the second quarter of 2021 results included:

  • Loan growth within the legacy Stock Yards portfolio, excluding loans acquired from Kentucky Bancshares and PPP loans, totaled $81 million, or 3%, compared to the first quarter of 2021 and $269 million, or 10%, compared to the second quarter a year ago.
  • Average legacy Stock Yards loan balance growth totaled $109 million compared to the first quarter of 2021 and $220 million compared to the second quarter a year ago.
  • Despite ongoing loan yield contraction, net interest income increased $8.1 million, or 24%, boosted by $6.9 million in PPP income, the aforementioned organic loan growth and a $1.5 million decline in funding costs.
  • Driven by a 20 basis point benefit from PPP loans, net interest margin (NIM) expanded nine basis points to 3.36% compared to the second quarter a year ago. Excluding the PPP benefit, NIM continued to be negatively impacted by loan yield contraction accompanied with significant ongoing excess balance sheet liquidity.
  • Net provision for credit losses totaled $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 versus $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. Included in these totals, credit loss reserves for off-balance sheet credit exposures reflected a net reduction of $550,000 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to net build of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2020.
  • Non-interest income increased 25% over the second quarter of 2020, reflecting record debit/credit card income and record treasury management fees. Significant growth in assets under management and strong market performance served to elevate wealth management and trust services income to a record quarter. Deposit service charges increased 54% due largely to the impact of the pandemic to the prior period.

Results of Operations – Second Quarter 2021 Compared with Second Quarter 2020

Net interest income – the Company’s largest source of revenue – increased $8.1 million, or 24%, to $41.6 million, driven primarily by PPP loan fees and a significant decline in cost of funds.

  • Total interest income rose $6.6 million, or 18%, to $43.1 million, primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans resulting from strong PPP income, partly offset by continued yield contraction.
  • With regard to the first round of PPP lending, as of June 30, 2021 approximately 82% of total loan originations (in terms of dollars) had been forgiven by the SBA and another 10% have been submitted for forgiveness. With regard to fee income, approximately 95% of the $19.6 million in fee income received has been recognized life to date.
  • The second round of PPP expired on May 5, 2021. The Bank has received $12.3 million in fees that will be recognized over the earlier of 5 years or at loan forgiveness. As second round borrowers are not required to make payments for 16 months, it is probable that a significant portion of the borrowing base will seek forgiveness in early to mid-2022.
  • Interest expense declined 49%, to $1.5 million. Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.2 million, or 45%, as the cost of interest bearing deposits declined to 0.19% in the second quarter of 2021 from 0.42% in the second quarter a year ago. While average interest bearing deposit balances surged $555 million, or 22%, the Company significantly benefited from the strategic lowering of stated deposit rates in 2019 and early 2020 in tandem with the Federal Reserve’s short-term interest rate moves and the corresponding lowering of CD offering rates.
  • NIM increased nine basis points to 3.36% for the second quarter of 2021 from 3.27% for the second quarter a year ago. During the quarter, forgiveness within the PPP loan portfolio and related fee income recognition had a 20 basis point positive impact to NIM. NIM continues to be negatively impacted by loan yield contraction and significant ongoing excess balance sheet liquidity which represented an 18 basis point negative impact.

The Company recorded a net $4.1 million provision to credit loss expense during the second quarter of 2021, which included a $2.7 million benefit to provision for credit losses for legacy Stock Yards loans and a $7.4 million provision for credit losses for acquired loans. In addition, during the second quarter of 2021 the Company recorded a $550,000 net benefit to provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures consistent with improvement in underlying CECL model factors.

Non-interest income increased $3.2 million, or 25%, to $15.8 million.

  • Wealth management and trust income totaled a record $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2021, increasing $1.1 million, or 20%, over the second quarter a year ago. Record net new business growth, significant growth in assets under management and record market performance served to elevate asset-based fees and boost income.
  • Retail deposit service charges increased $433,000, or 54%, compared to the second quarter a year ago, a period severely impacted by the pandemic.
  • Debit/credit card income increased $1.2 million, or 59%, over the second quarter of 2020. Growth trends in both portfolios remain positive, as card income benefitted significantly from continued increases in economic activity with consumers and businesses increasing their spending activities.
  • Treasury management fees increased by $481,000, or 39%, driven by increased transaction volume, new product sales and customer base expansion. In addition, calling efforts to existing customers have led to significant increases in online services, reporting, ACH origination, remote deposit and fraud mitigation services.
  • Mortgage banking revenue was $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. Home purchase and refinance application volume remained steady throughout the quarter.

Non-interest expenses increased $24.8 million, to $48.2 million, with $20.4 million of the increase associated with the Kentucky Bancshares merger.

  • Compensation expense increased $3.9 million, or 33%, primarily due to the increase in full time equivalent employees. Full time equivalent employees increased from 620 at June 30, 2020 to 823 at June 30, 2021, as the Bank added 189 associates in connection with the Kentucky Bancshares acquisition, contributing $973,000 to the total compensation increase. Additional incentive compensation of $2.1 million was accrued in the second quarter of 2021 consistent with the Company’s operating performance.
  • Employee benefits increased $496,000, or 17%, primarily due to elevated 401(k) and payroll tax expenses associated with the above mentioned increase in full time equivalent employees.
  • Net occupancy and equipment expenses increased $207,000, or 10%, as 19 branches were added in the current quarter acquisition.
  • Technology and communication expense for the second quarter of 2021 increased $671,000, or 34%, consistent with expanded data storage and increased expenses related to the third quarter 2020 switch to a hosted core system. Additional technology expense of $307,000 was added related to the acquisition during the quarter, mostly attributable to the running of separate core banking systems until the third quarter conversion.
  • Card processing expense increased $373,000, or 62%, consistent with the income trend noted above.
  • Marketing and business development expense, which includes all costs associated with promoting the Bank, community investment, retaining customers and acquiring new business increased $357,000, or 77%, compared to the second quarter a year ago which included the peak of the pandemic.
  • Capital and deposit tax declined $698,000, or 57%, as the Company has transitioned to record Kentucky state income tax as a component of tax expense.
  • Merger expenses totaled $18.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. Substantially all of the merger expenses related to the Kentucky Bancshares acquisition were recognized during the second quarter of 2021 and the Company expects remaining expenses will be minimal over the remainder of the year.
  • During the second quarter of 2021, the Company paid off $14 million of term FHLB advances prior to their maturity and incurred an early termination fee of $474,000.

Financial Condition – June 30, 2021 Compared with June 30, 2020

Total loans increased $742 million year over year, or 21%, to $4.2 billion. Excluding the PPP loan portfolio, total loans increased $995 million, or 35%, during the year, with $487 million of growth in the commercial real estate portfolio, $108 million of growth in the commercial and industrial portfolio and $297 million of growth in residential real estate loans. Credit line usage improved during the second quarter, while remaining well below pre-pandemic levels.

The Company acquired nearly $400 million in securities related to the Kentucky Bancshares acquisition and sold approximately $92 million during the second quarter contributing significantly to the $522 million of growth in the portfolio over the past twelve months.

Asset quality, which has trended within a narrow range over the past several years, has remained solid. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $2.7 million, primarily related to one commercial real estate relationship that had been fully reserved for in 2020. This compared to net loan recoveries of $15,000 in the second quarter of 2020. Non-performing loans were $13.9 million, or 0.36%(2), of total loans (excluding PPP) outstanding compared to $14.4 million, or 0.51%(2), of total loans (excluding PPP) outstanding at June 30, 2020.

Total deposits increased $1.5 billion, or 41%, from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021, with non-interest bearing deposits representing $539 million of the increase. Excluding deposits added from the Kentucky Bancshares acquisition, total deposits increased $512 million year over year, with non-interest bearing deposits representing $184 million of the increase. Both period end and average deposit balances ended at record levels at June 30, 2021. Federal programs such as the PPP and stimulus checks have boosted deposit balances.

At June 30, 2021, the Company remained “well capitalized,” the highest regulatory capital rating for financial institutions. Total equity to assets was 10.69% and the tangible common equity ratio was 8.57%(1) at June 30, 2021, compared to 9.69% and 9.39%(1), respectively, at June 30, 2020.

In June 2021, the Board of Directors continued the prior quarter dividend rate of $0.27 per common share. The Company will continue to evaluate dividend rate increases in relation to maintaining strong capital levels.

No shares were repurchased in the current year and approximately 741,000 shares remain eligible for repurchase under the current buy-back plan which expires in May 2023.

Results of Operations – Second Quarter 2021 Compared with First Quarter 2021

Net interest income increased $3.8 million, or 10%, over the prior quarter to $41.6 million, led by the acquisition, organic loan growth, PPP fee recognition and the continued decline in cost of funds.

As previously discussed, the Company recorded $4.1 million in provision for credit loss expense during the second quarter of 2021 compared to a $1.2 million benefit to provision for credit loss expense for loans in the prior quarter. In addition, consistent with improvement in underlying CECL model factors, a net benefit was recorded to provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures of $550,000 and $275,000 in the second quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2021, respectively.

Non-interest income increased $1.9 million, or 14%, to $15.8 million. Record wealth management and trust service fees, debit/credit card income and treasury management fees more than offset a modest second quarter reduction in mortgage banking and other non-interest income.

Non-interest expenses increased $23.2 million, or 93%, to $48.2 million with $20.4 million of the increase associated with the Kentucky Bancshares acquisition. Merger expenses totaled $18.1 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $400,000 of merger expenses in the prior quarter.

Compensation expense increased $2.9 million, to $15.7 million compared with the first quarter of 2021, due to the addition of 189 full time equivalent employees in association with the acquisition and additional incentive compensation accrued during the current quarter.

Financial Condition June 30, 2021, Compared with March 31, 2021

Total assets increased $1.3 billion on a linked quarter basis to $6.1 billion, reflecting the acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares, as well as significant increases in organic loans and investment securities.

Total loans increased $571 million on a linked quarter basis to $4.2 billion at quarter end and the deployment of excess liquidity combined with the addition of the Kentucky Bancshares securities portfolio led to a $335 million increase in securities. Total line of credit usage increased to 39% as of June 30, 2021, from 37% at March 31, 2021 with commercial and industrial line usage increasing meaningfully, but still well below pre-pandemic levels.

Total deposits increased $1.1 billion, or 25%, on a linked quarter basis due in part to the acquisition of Kentucky Bancshares, but also as a result of organic growth in deposit balances with both existing and new customers. Federal programs such as the PPP, stimulus checks and increased unemployment benefits have boosted deposit balances in 2021. Additionally, economic uncertainty surrounding the pandemic has resulted in a portion of the customer base maintaining generally higher deposit balances.

(1) - The following table provides a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) to tangible stockholders’ equity, a non-GAAP disclosure. Bancorp provides the tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP measure, in addition to those defined by banking regulators, because of its widespread use by investors as a means to evaluate capital adequacy:

(2) - Allowance for credit losses on loans to total non-PPP loans represents the allowance for credit losses on loans, divided by total loans less PPP loans. Non-performing loans to total non-PPP loans represents non-performing loans, divided by total loans less PPP loans. Bancorp believes these non-GAAP disclosures are important because they provide a comparable ratio after eliminating the PPP loans, which are fully guaranteed by the U.S. SBA and have not been allocated for within the allowance for credit losses on loans and are not at risk of non-performance.

(3) - Interest income on a FTE basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if investments in certain tax-exempt interest earning assets had been made in assets subject to federal, state and local taxes yielding the same after-tax income.
(4) - The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, equals total non-interest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income (FTE) and non-interest income. The ratio excludes net gains (losses) on sales, calls, and impairment of investment securities, if applicable. In addition to the efficiency ratio presented, Bancorp considers an adjusted efficiency ratio to be important because it provides a comparable ratio after eliminating the fluctuation in non-interest expenses related to amortization of investments in tax credit partnerships and non-recurring merger expenses.

(5) - Quarterly net (charge-offs) recoveries to average loans ratios are not annualized.
(6) - Effective for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company has reclassified credit loss expense for off-balance sheet exposures from non-interest expense to provision for credit losses and combined this with the provision for losses on loans on the face of the income statement.

Total provision for credit losses 4,147 (1,475 ) 500 4,968 7,025
(7) - Return on average assets equals net income divided by total average assets, annualized to reflect a full year return on average assets. Similarly, return on average equity equals net income divided by total average equity, annualized to reflect a full year return on average equity. As a result of the substantial impact that non-recurring items related to the Kentucky Bancshares acquisition had on results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Bancorp considers adjusted return on average assets and return on average equity ratios important as they reflect performance after removing certain merger expenses and purchase accounting adjustments.
