The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited ("Butterfield" or the "Bank") (BSX: NTB.BH; NYSE: NTB) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $61.0 million, or $1.22 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $62.2 million, or $1.24 per diluted common share, for the previous quarter and $49.1 million, or $0.99 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2022. Core net income1 for the second quarter of 2023 was $57.0 million, or $1.14 per diluted common share, compared to $62.2 million, or $1.24 per diluted common share, for the previous quarter and $50.2 million, or $1.01 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2022.
The return on average common equity for the second quarter of 2023 was 25.9% compared to 28.0% for the previous quarter and 24.5% for the second quarter of 2022. The core return on average tangible common equity1 for the second quarter of 2023 was 26.3%, compared to 30.5% for the previous quarter and 27.8% for the second quarter of 2022. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2023 was 57.6%, compared to 56.0% for the previous quarter and 61.0% for the second quarter of 2022. The core efficiency ratio1 for the second quarter of 2023 was 57.6% compared with 56.0% in the previous quarter and 60.2% for the second quarter of 2022.
Michael Collins, Butterfield's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Butterfield reported a solid second quarter of 2023, as we delivered consistent quarter-over-quarter non-interest income and expense discipline, which partially offset lower net interest income. During the quarter, we were pleased to have Moody’s assign an A3 long-term deposit rating with a stable outlook to our Cayman subsidiary in addition to reaffirming our Group rating. This demonstrates the strength of our Cayman business model and ability to support the Cayman Islands market, which has benefited from steady economic growth, driven by resurgent tourism and a healthy financial services sector. In Bermuda, we successfully implemented the upgrade of our core banking system and online platform and inaugurated our new flagship retail banking center in Hamilton.
"As expected, we also completed the second closing of our planned acquisition of Credit Suisse trust assets. To date, 374 relationships representing $21.1 billion of AUA have now transferred to Butterfield, significantly expanding our footprint in Asia. Work is now under way on client due diligence for subsequent tranches, which will include residual relationships in Singapore and selected Credit Suisse trust relationships in Guernsey and The Bahamas.”

Net income was down in the second quarter of 2023 versus the prior quarter primarily due to lower net interest income as a result of lower average interest-earning assets, higher deposit costs and accelerated amortization of $0.9 million of issuance costs related to the Bank's early redemption of its 2018 issuance of subordinated debt.
Net interest income (“NII”) for the second quarter of 2023 was $92.5 million, a decrease of $4.9 million, compared with NII of $97.4 million in the previous quarter and up $10.5 million from $82.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. NII decreased during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to lower balance sheet volumes, increasing deposit costs and the early redemption of subordinated debt. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, NII improved due to higher yields on assets, which was partially offset by increased deposit costs.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) for the second quarter of 2023 was 2.83%, a decrease of 5 basis points from 2.88% in the previous quarter and up 57 basis points from 2.26% in the second quarter of 2022. NIM in the second quarter of 2023 was lower than the prior quarter due to lower balance sheet volumes, increasing deposit costs and early redemption of subordinated debt, which was partially offset by increased yields on interest earning assets. Compared to second quarter of 2022, NIM improved primarily due to higher yields on treasury assets and loans, partially offset by increased deposit costs.
Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2023 of $50.2 million was sequentially flat against the previous quarter and $1.7 million lower than $51.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2023 was comprised of increased trust income driven by the onboarding of relationships acquired from Credit Suisse and higher activity-based revenues, offset by lower banking income, driven by reduced volumes, as well as lower other non-interest income driven by a decrease in equity pick-up on a portfolio investment. Non-interest income in the second quarter of 2023 was lower than the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to a lower level of unclaimed balances recognized into income, which was partially offset by higher revenues from asset management and trust activities.
Non-interest expenses were $83.5 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $84.1 million in the previous quarter and $83.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. Core non-interest expenses1 of $83.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 were lower than the $84.1 million incurred in the previous quarter, primarily due to lower staff-related expenses, which were partially offset by higher technology and communications costs related to the Bank's implementation of its core banking system upgrade in Bermuda. Core non-interest expenses1 in the second quarter of 2023 were higher than the $81.9 million incurred in the second quarter of 2022 due to inflationary increases in salaries and benefits, as well as the aforementioned increase in technology and communications costs.
Period end deposit balances were $12.2 billion, a decrease of 6.2% compared to $13.0 billion at December 31, 2022, primarily due to deposit movement across all banking jurisdictions as customers activated their funds and sought higher yielding products, with the largest decrease in the Channel Islands. Average deposits were $12.2 billion in the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $12.8 billion in the first quarter of 2023.
The Bank maintained its balanced capital return policy. The Board again declared a quarterly dividend of $0.44 per common share to be paid on August 28, 2023 to shareholders of record on August 14, 2023. During the second quarter of 2023, the Butterfield repurchased 0.7 million common shares under the Bank's share repurchase plan authorization.
The current total regulatory capital ratio as at June 30, 2023 was 25.1% as calculated under Basel III, compared to 24.1% as at December 31, 2022. Both of these ratios remain significantly above the minimum Basel III regulatory requirements applicable to the Bank.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED WITH THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2023
Net Income
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $61.0 million, down $1.2 million from $62.2 million in the prior quarter.
The $1.2 million change in net income in the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to the previous quarter was due principally to the following:
- $4.9 million decrease in net interest income before provision for credit losses primarily due to lower average interest-earning assets, increased deposit costs and the accelerated amortization of issuance costs due to the early redemption of the 2018 series of the Bank's subordinated debt;
- $3.9 million increase in total other gains (losses) due to a gain realized on the liquidation settlement from a legacy investment previously written-off;
- $0.9 million increase in provision from credit losses driven by a small number of loan facilities in Bermuda; and
- $0.6 million decrease in non-interest expense, primarily due to a reduction in staff-related expenses which were partially offset by higher technology and communications costs as the core banking system upgrade in Bermuda came into operation.
Non-Core Items1
Non-core items resulted in gains, net of expenses, of $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. Non-core items for the quarter mainly relates to the liquidation settlement from a legacy investment previously written-off.
Management does not believe that comparative period expenses, gains or losses identified as non-core are indicative of the results of operations of the Bank in the ordinary course of business.

BALANCE SHEET COMMENTARY AT JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 2022
Total Assets
Total assets of the Bank were $13.5 billion at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.8 billion from December 31, 2022. The Bank maintained a highly liquid position at June 30, 2023, with $8.1 billion of cash, bank deposits, reverse repurchase agreements and liquid investments representing 59.7% of total assets, compared with 61.3% at December 31, 2022.
Loans Receivable
The loan portfolio totaled $5.0 billion at June 30, 2023, which was $0.1 billion lower than December 31, 2022 balances. The decrease was driven primarily by scheduled paydowns in the portfolio.
The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2023 totaled $26.0 million, an increase of $1.0 million from $25.0 million at December 31, 2022. The movement was driven by an increase in credit card provisions, specific provisions on a small number of loan facilities in Bermuda and updated forward-looking economic forecasts. This was partially offset by net paydowns.
The loan portfolio represented 37.0% of total assets at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: 35.6%), while loans as a percentage of total deposits was 41.0% at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: 39.2%). The increase in both ratios was attributable principally to a decrease in deposit balances at June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, the Bank had gross non-accrual loans of $58.1 million, representing 1.2% of total gross loans, a decrease of $5.0 million from $63.1 million, or 1.2% of total loans, at December 31, 2022. The decrease in non-accrual loans was driven by the settlement of a residential mortgage in the Channel Islands and UK segment.
Other real estate owned (“OREO”) increased by $0.4 million from December 31, 2022 to $1.2 million due to the foreclosure of a loan in Bermuda.
Investment in Securities
The investment portfolio was $5.5 billion at June 30, 2023, which was $0.2 billion lower against December 31, 2022 balances driven by paydowns in the portfolio which were reinvested into treasury assets.
The investment portfolio is made up of high quality assets with 100% invested in A-or-better-rated securities. The investment book yield decreased to 2.07% during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from 2.12% during the previous quarter. Total net unrealized losses on the available-for-sale portfolio decreased to $207.3 million, compared with total net unrealized losses of $220.2 million at December 31, 2022, as a result of a decline in long-term US dollar interest rates. No credit losses have been noted as at June 30, 2023.
Deposits
Average deposits were $12.2 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.6 billion compared to the previous quarter, while period end balances as at June 30, 2023 were $12.2 billion, a decrease of $0.8 billion compared to December 31, 2022, due to normal commercial activity.

Assets Under Administration and Assets Under Management
Total assets under administration for the trust and custody businesses were $118.5 billion and $29.0 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2023, while assets under management were $5.4 billion at June 30, 2023. This compares with $106.2 billion, $32.2 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2022.
Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings
The table below shows the reconciliation of net income in accordance with US GAAP to core earnings, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes certain significant items that are included in our US GAAP results of operations. We focus on core net income, which we calculate by adjusting net income to exclude certain income or expense items that are not representative of our business operations, or “non-core”. Core net income includes revenue, gains, losses and expense items incurred in the normal course of business. We believe that expressing earnings and certain other financial measures excluding these non-core items provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Bank and predicting future performance. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Bank on the same basis as management.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Certain statements in this release involve the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We believe such measures provide useful information to investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with US GAAP; however, our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, investors should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with US GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use. See "Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings" for additional information.
Forward-Looking Statements:
Certain of the statements made in this release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, assumptions estimates, intentions, and future performance, including, without limitation, our intention to make share repurchases and our dividend payout target, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which may cause the actual results, performance, capital, ownership or achievements of Butterfield to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including worldwide economic conditions (including economic growth and general business conditions) and fluctuations of interest rates, inflation, a decline in Bermuda’s sovereign credit rating, the successful completion and integration of acquisitions (including our progress on subsequent closings of the acquisition of trust assets from Credit Suisse) or the realization of the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions in the expected time-frames or at all, success in business retention (including the retention of relationships associated with our Credit Suisse acquisition) and obtaining new business, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the success of our updated systems and platforms and other factors. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "indicate," "intend," "may," "plan," "point to," "predict," "project," "seek," "target," "potential," "will," "would," "could," "should," "continue," "contemplate" and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements in this disclosure are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice, including, without limitation, those risks and uncertainties described in our SEC reports and filings, including under the caption "Risk Factors" in our most recent Form 20-F. Such reports are available upon request from Butterfield, or from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including through the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov. Any forward-looking statements made by Butterfield are current views as at the date they are made. Except as otherwise required by law, Butterfield assumes no obligation and does not undertake to review, update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking statements included in this disclosure, whether as a result of new information, future events or other developments.
