After considering the adjustments noted in the table above for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2021 and 2020, net income per diluted common share was $1.70 for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2021, compared to $1.58 for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2020, a year-over-year increase of 7.6 percent.

"Despite a volatile and challenging operating environment, 2021 afforded us extraordinary opportunities for outsized growth," said M. Terry Turner, Pinnacle's president and chief executive officer. "Adjusted earnings increased 56.5 percent over last year, our pre-tax and pre-provision revenues were up 16.1 percent year-over-year, and excluding the impact of PPP, we achieved loan growth of nearly 12 percent. Importantly, to bolster our future growth prospects, during 2021 we announced expansion into several new markets, including the Washington D.C. area, and we added 119 revenue producers to our ranks. As we enter 2022, we believe we are well positioned to continue to execute on our rapid growth model."

BALANCE SHEET GROWTH:

Total assets at Dec. 31, 2021 were $38.5 billion, an increase of approximately $3.5 billion from Dec. 31, 2020, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 10.1 percent. A further analysis of select balance sheet trends follows:

"During the fourth quarter, loan growth approximated 6.2 percent annualized when compared to balances at Sept. 30, 2021. After excluding the impact of PPP, loans increased at an annualized rate of 12.4 percent," Turner said. "Replacing PPP revenue is primarily a function of new loan growth in 2022. In that regard, we remain optimistic and believe we have the infrastructure in place, as well as the momentum, to deliver loan growth of 10 to 15 percent in 2022."

  • Revenue per fully diluted common share was $4.47 for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2021, compared to $4.50 for the third quarter of 2021 and $4.03 for the fourth quarter of 2020, a 10.9 percent year-over-year growth rate. Revenue per fully diluted share was $17.49 for the year ended Dec. 31, 2021, compared to $15.06 for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020, a growth rate of 16.1 percent.
  • Net interest income for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2021 was $238.8 million, compared to $237.5 million for the third quarter of 2021 and $221.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, a year-over-year growth rate of 8.0 percent. Net interest margin was 2.96 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 3.03 percent for the third quarter of 2021 and 2.97 percent for the fourth quarter of 2020.
    • Revenues from PPP loans approximated $15.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $21.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $24.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2021, revenues from PPP loans approximated $85.9 million, compared to $52.3 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020.
    • Impacting the firm’s net interest margin in the third and fourth quarters of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2020 were both the PPP loans and the firm’s decision early in the pandemic to maintain additional on-balance sheet liquidity. The firm estimates its third and fourth quarter 2021 net interest margin was negatively impacted by approximately 17 and 25 basis points, respectively, as a result of PPP loans and additional liquidity, compared to approximately 30 basis points for the fourth quarter 2020.
    • Included in net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $2.2 million of discount accretion associated with fair value adjustments, compared to $2.8 million of discount accretion recognized in the third quarter of 2021 and $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The firm's net interest margin was positively impacted because of fair value adjustment discount accretion by approximately 3 basis points for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2021 and by 6 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2020. There remains $8.6 million of purchase accounting discount accretion as of Dec. 31, 2021.
  • Noninterest income for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2021 was $100.7 million, compared to $104.1 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2021, a linked-quarter annualized decrease of 13.0 percent. Compared to $83.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, noninterest income grew 20.7 percent.
    • Wealth management revenues, which include investment, trust and insurance services, were $19.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $17.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, a linked-quarter annualized increase of 48.2 percent. Compared to $14.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, wealth management revenues were up 35.4 percent.
    • Income from the firm's investment in BHG was $30.8 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2021, up from $30.4 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2021 and $24.3 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2020.
    • Other noninterest income was $33.2 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2021, compared to $37.2 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2021 and $24.0 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2020, a linked-quarter annualized decrease of 42.4 percent and year-over-year growth of 38.5 percent, respectively. Contributing to the linked-quarter decline was $4.1 million of income from other equity investments during the three months ended Dec. 31, 2021, compared to $8.6 million during the three months ended Sept. 30, 2021 and $1.1 million for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2020. Income from other equity investments for the year ended Dec. 31, 2021 was $23.1 million compared to $1.1 million for the previous year.
  • Noninterest expense for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2021 was $170.4 million, compared to $168.9 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $161.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 5.6 percent.
    • Salaries and employee benefits were $110.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $112.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $90.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 22.3 percent.
    • Noninterest expense categories, other than salaries and employee benefits, were $60.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $56.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $71.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, reflecting a year-over-year decrease of 15.3 percent.

“We continue our PPNR focus and are pleased with our PPNR results in 2021,” said Harold R. Carpenter, Pinnacle’s chief financial officer. “As we enter 2022, we believe with the opportunities we have in our new markets, as well as the ongoing recruiting success we are experiencing in our existing markets, we can achieve continued PPNR growth in 2022. That said, PPNR growth in 2022 will be challenging, given our great success with the PPP program in 2020 and 2021, but our goal remains to be a top-quartile performer regardless of the operating environment.

“Our nearly 12 percent growth in loans, excluding PPP, significantly impacted our revenue results for 2021. Strong discipline on deposit pricing, another big year from both BHG and wealth management as well as success with our other equity investments all contributed to an outstanding year for us. Furthermore, we believe our ability to manage our expense base was evident in 2021. Even though our overall headcount increased by 8.0 percent in 2021 and our corporate incentive costs increased from $52.6 million in 2020 to $109.1 million in 2021, we were able to maintain an efficiency ratio of 49.70 percent in 2021 compared to 49.53 percent in 2020."

“We remain pleased with our profitability metrics and are optimistic we will be able to continue to successfully execute on our strategy that targets top-quartile peer performance in the years to come,” Carpenter said. “We are very pleased to report a 14.2 percent increase in tangible book value per share between Dec. 31, 2020 and Dec. 31, 2021. That said, while we will maintain our focus on growing earnings, PPNR and tangible book value per share, we will be mindful of pricing discipline as we grow our business in what is shaping up to be a rising rate environment in 2022. Recent changes in the interest rate outlook for 2022, our targeted low- to mid-teen percentage increase in loans for next year, our recent expansion into new markets and our belief that we hope to see incremental deployment of excess liquidity give us reason to be optimistic for the coming year.”

MAINTAINING A STRONG BALANCE SHEET:

  • Provision for credit losses was $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Net charge-offs were $8.1 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2021, compared to $9.3 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2021 and $10.8 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2020.
  • Nonperforming assets were $40.1 million at Dec. 31, 2021, compared to $55.1 million at Sept. 30, 2021 and $86.2 million at Dec. 31, 2020. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans at Dec. 31, 2021 was 833.8 percent, compared to 575.3 percent at Sept. 30, 2021 and 386.1 percent at Dec. 31, 2020.

“Our credit performance has been strong for many years, and we believe it should continue as we enter 2022,” Carpenter said. “Our relationship managers and credit officers have done a remarkable job navigating the pandemic and its impact on our borrowers. During 2021, we reduced our allowance for credit losses to total loans (excluding PPP loans) from 1.38 percent at year end 2020 to 1.14 percent at Dec. 31, 2021, a decrease of 24 basis points. Given our anticipated credit performance and the forecasted business climate for 2022, we believe that continued reductions in this ratio are possible at least through the first half of 2022.”

BOARD OF DIRECTORS DECLARES DIVIDENDS AND AUTHORIZES SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN

On Jan. 18, 2022, Pinnacle Financial's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per common share to be paid on Feb. 25, 2022 to common shareholders of record as of the close of business on Feb. 4, 2022. Additionally, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of approximately $3.8 million, or $16.88 per share (or $0.422 per depositary share), on Pinnacle Financial's 6.75 percent Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock payable on March 1, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on Feb. 14, 2022. The amount and timing of any future dividend payments to both preferred and common shareholders will be subject to the approval of Pinnacle's Board of Directors.

The firm also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program for up to $125 million of the Company’s common stock to commence upon expiration of its existing share repurchase program that is set to expire on March 31, 2022. Repurchases of the Company’s common stock will be made in accordance with applicable laws and may be made at management’s discretion from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The board authorized the repurchase program to remain in effect through March 31, 2023, unless the entire repurchase amount has been acquired before that date.

The share repurchase program may be extended, modified, amended, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion and does not commit the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock. The actual timing, number and value of the shares to be purchased under the program will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the performance of the Company’s stock price, the Company’s ongoing capital planning considerations, general market and other conditions, applicable legal requirements and compliance with the terms of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness.

(xxvi) the possibility of increased personal or corporate tax rates and the resulting reduction in our and our customers' businesses as a result of any such increases; (xxvii) changes in state and federal legislation, regulations or policies applicable to banks and other financial service providers, like BHG, including regulatory or legislative developments; (xxviii) fluctuations in the valuations of Pinnacle Financial's equity investments and the ultimate success of such investments; (xxix) the availability of and access to capital; (xxx) adverse results (including costs, fines, reputational harm, inability to obtain necessary approvals and/or other negative effects) from current or future litigation, regulatory examinations or other legal and/or regulatory actions, including as a result of Pinnacle Bank's participation in and execution of government programs related to the COVID-19 pandemic; and (xxxi) general competitive, economic, political and market conditions. Additional factors which could affect the forward looking statements can be found in Pinnacle Financial's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC and available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. Pinnacle Financial disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this press release, which speak only as of the date hereof, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Matters

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, without limitation, earnings per diluted common share, PPNR, efficiency ratio and the ratio of noninterest expense to average assets, excluding in certain instances the impact of expenses related to other real estate owned, gains or losses on sale of investment securities, FHLB restructuring charges, hedge termination charges and other matters for the accounting periods presented. This release also includes non-GAAP financial measures which exclude the impact of loans originated under the PPP. This release may also contain certain other non-GAAP capital ratios and performance measures that exclude the impact of goodwill and core deposit intangibles associated with Pinnacle Financial's acquisitions of BNC, Avenue Bank, Magna Bank, CapitalMark Bank & Trust, Mid-America Bancshares, Inc., Cavalry Bancorp, Inc. and other acquisitions which collectively are less material to the non-GAAP measure as well as the impact of Pinnacle Financial's Series B Preferred Stock. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Pinnacle Financial believes that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate making period-to-period comparisons and are meaningful indications of its operating performance. In addition, because intangible assets such as goodwill and the core deposit intangible, and the other items excluded each vary extensively from company to company, Pinnacle Financial believes that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare Pinnacle Financial's results to the results of other companies. Pinnacle Financial's management utilizes this non-GAAP financial information to compare Pinnacle Financial's operating performance for 2021 versus certain periods in 2020 and to internally prepared projections.

(1) Average balances of nonperforming loans are included in the above amounts.

(2) Yields computed on tax-exempt instruments on a tax equivalent basis and included $10.1 million of taxable equivalent income for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2021 compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2020. The tax-exempt benefit has been reduced by the projected impact of tax-exempt income that will be disallowed pursuant to IRS Regulations as of and for the then current period presented.

(3) Yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest spread calculation excludes the impact of demand deposits. Had the impact of demand deposits been included, the net interest spread for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2021 would have been 2.94% compared to a net interest spread of 2.95% for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2020.

(4) Net interest margin is the result of annualized net interest income calculated on a tax equivalent basis divided by average interest-earning assets for the period.

PINNACLE FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA – UNAUDITED

1. Ratios are presented on an annualized basis.

2. Net interest margin is the result of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets.

3. Total revenue is equal to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

4. Efficiency ratios are calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

5. Troubled debt restructurings include loans where the Company, as a result of the borrower's financial difficulties, has granted a credit concession to the borrower (i.e., interest only payments for a significant period of time, extending the maturity of the loan, etc.). All of these loans continue to accrue interest at the contractual rate. Troubled debt restructurings do not include, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2020, loans for which the Company has granted a deferral of interest and/or principal or other modification pursuant to the guidance issued by the FDIC providing for relief under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.

6. Average risk ratings are based on an internal loan review system which assigns a numeric value of 10 to 100 to all loans to commercial entities based on their underlying risk characteristics as of the end of each quarter. The risk rating scale was changed to allow for granularity, if needed, in criticized and classified risk ratings to distinguish accrual status or structural loan issues. A "10" risk rating is assigned to credits that exhibit Excellent risk characteristics, "20" exhibit Very Good risk characteristics, "30" Good, "40" Satisfactory, "50" Acceptable or Average, "60" Watch List, "70" Criticized, "80" Classified or Substandard, "90" Doubtful and "100" Loss (which are charged-off immediately). Additionally, loans rated "80" or worse that are not nonperforming or restructured loans are considered potential problem loans. Generally, consumer loans are not subjected to internal risk ratings.

7. Annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans ratios are computed by annualizing quarter-to-date net loan charge-offs and dividing the result by average loans for the quarter-to-date period.

8. Capital ratios are calculated using regulatory reporting regulations enacted for such period and are defined as follows:

Equity to total assets – End of period total stockholders' equity as a percentage of end of period assets.

Tangible common equity to tangible assets - End of period total stockholders' equity less end of period preferred stock, goodwill, core deposit and other intangibles as a percentage of end of period assets less end of period goodwill, core deposit and other intangibles.

Leverage – Tier I capital (pursuant to risk-based capital guidelines) as a percentage of adjusted average assets.

Tier I risk-based – Tier I capital (pursuant to risk-based capital guidelines) as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets.

Total risk-based – Total capital (pursuant to risk-based capital guidelines) as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets.

Classified asset - Classified assets as a percentage of Tier 1 capital plus allowance for credit losses.

Tier I common equity to risk weighted assets - Tier 1 capital (pursuant to risk-based capital guidelines) less the amount of any preferred stock or subordinated indebtedness that is considered as a component of Tier 1 capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets.

9. Book value per common share computed by dividing total common stockholders' equity by common shares outstanding. Tangible book value per common share computed by dividing total common stockholders' equity, less goodwill, core deposit and other intangibles by common shares outstanding.

10. Amounts are included in the statement of operations in "Gains on mortgage loans sold, net", net of commissions paid on such amounts.

12. Core deposits include all transaction deposit accounts, money market and savings accounts and all certificates of deposit issued in a denomination of less than $250,000. The ratio noted above represents total core deposits divided by total funding, which includes total deposits, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, subordinated indebtedness and all other interest-bearing liabilities.

13. Associate retention rate is computed by dividing the number of associates employed at quarter end less the number of associates that have resigned in the last 12 months by the number of associates employed at quarter end. Associate retention rate does not include associates at acquired institutions displaced by merger.

14. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue excludes the impact of ORE expenses and income, investment gains and losses on sales of securities, FHLB restructuring charges and hedge termination charges.

15. Represents investment gains (losses) on sales and impairments, net occurring as a result of gains or losses incurred as the result of a change in management's intention to sell a bond prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis.

16. The dividend payout ratio is calculated as the sum of the annualized dividend rate for dividends paid on common shares divided by the trailing 12-months fully diluted earnings per common share as of the dividend declaration date.

17. Earnings from equity method investment includes the impact of the issuance of subordinated debt as well as the funding costs of the overall franchise. Income tax expense is calculated using statutory tax rates.

18. Tax effect calculated using the blended statutory rate of 26.14 percent.

19. Calculated using the same guidelines as are used in the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's Uniform Bank Performance Report.
