South Bend, Indiana--(Newsfile Corp. - October 19, 2023) - 1st Source Corporation (NASDAQ: SRCE), parent company of 1st Source Bank, today reported record quarterly net income of $32.94 million for the third quarter of 2023, up 0.62% from the $32.74 million reported in the third quarter a year ago, bringing the 2023 year-to-date net income to $96.50 million compared to $89.44 million in 2022. Diluted net income per common share for the third quarter of 2023 was $1.32, equal to the third quarter of 2022. Diluted net income per common share for the first nine months of 2023 was $3.87 compared to $3.59 during the first nine months of 2022.

At its October 2023 meeting, the Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.34 per common share, up 6.25% from the cash dividend declared a year ago. The cash dividend is payable to shareholders of record on November 6, 2023, and will be paid on November 15, 2023.

Christopher J. Murphy III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased that we achieved record quarterly net income during the third quarter. Average loans grew $104.73 million, up 1.71% while average deposits increased marginally from the previous quarter. Credit quality improved and remained strong and our trend of low nonperforming asset levels continued. Our liquidity and capital positions also remained strong during the quarter. While our tax-equivalent net interest margin continued to endure competitive deposit rate pressures, we limited overall margin compression to two basis points compared to the prior quarter."

"We were incredibly pleased to learn that 1st Source was included in the Newsweek 'America's Greatest Workplaces for Parents and Families 2023' ranking. According to Newsweek, over 224,000 completed company reviews by employees who work for companies employing at least 1,000 employees in the U.S. determined the results of the list. 1st Source is one of only 10 companies headquartered in Indiana to make the list and received a four-star rating (out of five stars). Newsweek conducted the survey in partnership with Plant-A Insights Group and shared that the '800 family-friendly companies' included in the list 'are lauded by their employees for being great places to work.' This honor speaks directly to our family values and client centric mission. We deliver a balance between work and family that is fulfilling for our colleagues. We're humbled by the response of our team members to name us to such lists, and we thank them for honoring us and our clients with the great work and passion they bring to this Company."

"Another exciting event in the third quarter was the launch of the Federal Reserve's new instant payment rail, the FedNow Service. 1st Source Bank was among the first depository institutions able to send and receive instant payments from other participating institutions. This was an important milestone for the banking industry, and it was very important that 1st Source be positioned as a leader in adopting this new instant payment method for the benefit of our business and personal clients. To participate in the FedNow Service, 1st Source completed a multi-step customer testing and certification program in the months leading up to launch. Early adopters of the service include a diverse range of financial institutions and service providers across the U.S., and we're very proud to be among its earliest users and advocates," Mr. Murphy concludes.

THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Loans

Third quarter average loans and leases increased $104.73 million to $6.25 billion, up 1.71% from the previous quarter and increased $618.17 million, up 10.98% from the third quarter a year ago. Year-to-date average loans and leases increased $667.45 million to $6.14 billion, up 12.19% from the first nine months of 2022. Growth during the quarter occurred primarily within the Commercial Real Estate, Construction Equipment, and Auto and Light Truck portfolios.

The Company has traditionally maintained a conservative approach to commercial real estate loans and non-owner occupied properties. At September 30, 2023, approximately 5% of the Company's total loans and leases are collateralized by non-owner occupied commercial real estate. The Company finances a minimal amount of commercial real estate secured by non-owner occupied office property where third-party tenant rents are the primary source of repayment. All non-owner occupied commercial real estate office projects are performing as agreed.

Deposits

Average deposits of $6.95 billion, grew $11.02 million, up 0.16% from the previous quarter and grew $276.87 million or 4.15% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Average deposits for the first nine months of 2023 were $6.92 billion, an increase of $224.19 million, up 3.35% from the same period a year ago. Average balances were relatively flat as the overall deposit mix changed due to expected seasonal public fund outflows and rate competition driving consumers to higher yielding time and money market deposit accounts.

End of period deposits were $6.97 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to $6.98 billion at June 30, 2023. Balances were steady, however the deposit mix changed as higher brokered, time, and money market deposit balances were offset by decreased noninterest-bearing and public fund deposit balances. Rate competition for deposits persisted during the quarter.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Third quarter 2023 tax-equivalent net interest income increased $0.71 million to $69.41 million, up 1.04% from the previous quarter and was flat from the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2023, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $15.47 million to $207.89 million, up 8.04% from the same period in 2022.

Third quarter 2023 net interest margin was 3.45%, a decline of two basis points from the 3.47% in the previous quarter and a decrease of 14 basis points from the same period in 2022. On a fully tax-equivalent basis, third quarter 2023 net interest margin was 3.46%, down by two basis points compared to the 3.48% in the previous quarter and a decline of 14 basis points from the same period in 2022. The decrease from the prior quarter and prior year was primarily due to higher rates on interest-bearing deposits mainly from competitive market pressures and increased short-term borrowing rates.

Net interest margin for the first nine months of 2023 was 3.50%, an increase of 14 basis points compared to the first nine months of 2022. Similarly, net interest margin on a fully-tax-equivalent basis for the first nine months of 2023 was 3.51%, an increase of 14 basis points compared to the same period during the prior year. Higher market rates due to continuing Federal Reserve rate increases and loan repricing contributed to net interest margin expansion compared to the first nine months of 2022.

Noninterest Income

Third quarter 2023 noninterest income of $24.46 million increased $1.69 million, up 7.40% from the previous quarter and increased $2.45 million, up 11.12% compared to the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2023, noninterest income was $70.55 million, an increase of $2.57 million, up 3.77% from the same period a year ago.

The increase in noninterest income compared to the previous quarter and third quarter of 2022 was due to gains on the sale of renewable energy tax equity investments of $2.32 million, a rise in interest rate swap fees, and higher bank owned life insurance policy claims recognized. These were offset by lower debit card income from reduced transaction volumes, reduced equipment rental income as demand for leases declined and seasonal tax preparation fee income recognized in the second quarter of 2023 from our Trust and Wealth Advisory Services Group.

The increase in noninterest income compared to the first nine months of 2022 was due to gains on the sale of renewable energy equity investments of $3.43 million, a rise in interest rate swap fees, and higher bank owned life insurance policy claims, offset by reduced mortgage banking origination volumes resulting in lower income from loans sold in the secondary market and lower equipment rental income.

Noninterest Expense

Third quarter 2023 noninterest expense of $50.17 million increased $1.00 million, or 2.04% from the prior quarter and increased $4.84 million, or 10.67% from the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2023, noninterest expense was $148.75 million, an increase of $12.43 million, or 9.12% from the same period a year ago.

The increase in noninterest expense from the previous quarter was primarily due to increased group insurance claims and check fraud losses offset by lower marketing promotions.

The increase in noninterest expense compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was mainly the result of higher salaries and wages from normal merit increases, the impact of wage inflation and an increase in the number of employees filling prior open positions. A rise in group insurance claims, increased data processing and technology project costs, higher FDIC insurance premiums, and higher loan loss provision for unfunded loan commitments added to the increase. These were offset by a $1.08 million reversal of accrued legal fees during the first quarter of 2023 and lower leased equipment depreciation.

Credit

The allowance for loan and lease losses as of September 30, 2023, was 2.27% of total loans and leases compared to 2.31% at June 30, 2023, and 2.36% at September 30, 2022. Net charge-offs of $0.33 million were recorded for the third quarter of 2023 compared with $0.98 million of net recoveries in the prior quarter and net charge-offs of $0.30 million in the same quarter a year ago.

The provision for credit losses was $0.86 million for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of $0.81 million from the previous quarter and a decrease of $2.31 million compared with the same period in 2022. Net charge-offs during the quarter compared to net recoveries in the previous quarter was the primary reason for the increase in the provision for credit losses. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and leases was 0.27% as of September 30, 2023, compared to 0.33% on June 30, 2023, and 0.48% on September 30, 2022.

Capital

As of September 30, 2023, the common equity-to-assets ratio was 10.84%, compared to 10.95% at June 30, 2023, and 10.20% a year ago. The tangible common equity-to-tangible assets ratio was 9.96% at September 30, 2023, compared to 10.05% at June 30, 2023, and 9.26% a year earlier. The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, calculated under banking regulatory guidelines was 13.31% at September 30, 2023 compared to 13.59% at June 30, 2023 and 13.50% a year ago. During the third quarter of 2023, 260,887 shares were repurchased for treasury reducing common shareholders' equity by $10.29 million.

The Company has a long history of maintaining conservative capital levels and the risk-based capital ratios remained strong during the third quarter, even when adjusting for unrealized losses on the available-for-sale securities portfolio.

Liquidity

The Company maintains prudent strategies to support a strong liquidity position. Sources of liquidity include unencumbered available-for-sale securities, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) discount window and Bank Term Funding Program, Federal Funds lines from correspondent banks and brokered and listing services deposits. Total net available liquidity was $3.04 billion at September 30, 2023, which accounted for approximately 48% of total deposits net of brokered and listing services certificates of deposit.

The investment portfolio is managed with a prioritized focus on liquidity. Investment securities accounted for 18.83% of total assets at September 30, 2023, with the entirety of the portfolio classified as available-for-sale. The Company had no held-to-maturity securities therefore all market value adjustments resulting in unrealized gains and losses were reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The modified duration of the total investment portfolio was calculated at 3.1 years.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accounting and reporting policies of 1st Source conform to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP performance measures are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company's performance. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a financial institution, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. These include taxable-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components), net interest margin (including its individual components), the efficiency ratio, tangible common equity-to-tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per common share. Management believes that these measures provide users of the Company's financial information a more meaningful view of the performance of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and of the Company's operating efficiency. Other financial holding companies may define or calculate these measures differently.

Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company and its banking subsidiaries on a fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") basis. In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. Net interest income on a FTE basis is also used in the calculation of the Company's efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by total taxable-equivalent net revenue (less securities gains or losses and lease depreciation), measures how much it costs to produce one dollar of revenue. Securities gains or losses and lease depreciation are excluded from this calculation to better match revenue from daily operations to operational expenses. Management considers the tangible common equity-to-tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per common share as useful measurements of the Company's equity.
