United Bankshares, Inc. Announces Earnings for the First Quarter of 2022

WASHINGTON & CHARLESTON, W.Va.--()--United Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBSI) (“United”), today reported earnings for the first quarter of 2022 of $81.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, as compared to earnings of $73.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. The quarter was highlighted by strong 11% annualized loan growth (excluding Paycheck Protection Program loans), net interest margin expansion, and the resumption of United’s share repurchase program.

First quarter 2022 results produced annualized returns on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity, a non-GAAP measure, of 1.13%, 6.96% and 11.63%, respectively, compared to annualized returns on average assets, average equity, and average tangible equity of 1.04%, 6.44% and 10.87%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2021.

“We came out of the gate quickly and are off to a good start in 2022,” stated Richard M. Adams, Jr., United’s Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to experience promising loan growth in our new markets in the Southeast, as well as in our legacy markets, especially in the Greater Washington Region. We remain well capitalized, have sound liquidity levels, and maintain our longstanding commitments to strong risk management practices and credit underwriting discipline.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was relatively flat from the first quarter of 2021, increasing $542 thousand, or less than 1%, to $191.5 million. Tax-equivalent net interest income, a non-GAAP measure which adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments, for the first quarter of 2022 was also relatively flat from the first quarter of 2021, increasing $604 thousand, or less than 1%, to $192.6 million. United completed its acquisition of Community Bankers Trust Corporation (“Community Bankers Trust”) on December 3, 2021. The slight increase in net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily due to the impact of higher average earning assets, driven by the Community Bankers Trust acquisition and lower interest expense on deposits. These increases were mostly offset by lower accretion on acquired loans, lower fee income from Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans and higher average interest-bearing deposit balances as a result of the Community Bankers Trust acquisition. Average earning assets for the first quarter of 2022 increased $2.5 billion, or 11%, from the first quarter of 2021 due to a $1.5 billion increase in average investment securities, a $739.3 million increase in average short-term investments and a $312.5 million increase in average net loans and loans held for sale. Average interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2022 increased $1.2 billion, or 9%, from the first quarter of 2021; however, the yield on interest-bearing deposits decreased 13 basis points from the first quarter of 2021 to 0.24% for the first quarter of 2022. The net interest spread for the first quarter of 2022 decreased 28 basis points from the first quarter of 2021 to 2.86% due to a 40 basis point decrease in the average yield on earning assets partially offset by a 12 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds. Loan accretion on acquired loans was $4.1 million and $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $5.7 million. Net PPP loan fee income of $4.1 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to $11.3 million for the first quarter of 2021. The net interest margin of 2.99% for the first quarter of 2022 was a decrease of 31 basis points from the net interest margin of 3.30% for the first quarter of 2021.

On a linked-quarter basis, net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 increased $7.8 million, or 4%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. Tax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 increased $7.9 million, or 4%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets due to the full-quarter impact of the Community Bankers Trust acquisition and organic growth partially offset by lower acquired loan accretion and PPP loan fee income. Average earning assets increased approximately $1.1 billion, or 4%, from the fourth quarter of 2021 due to increases in average net loans and loans held for sale of $900.9 million and average securities of $796.3 million partially offset by a decrease in average short-term investments of $580.2 million. The net interest spread of 2.86% for the first quarter of 2022 increased 4 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2021 due to a 3 basis point increase in the average yield on earning assets and a 1 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds. Loan accretion on acquired loans decreased $2.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2021. Net PPP loan fee income for the first quarter of 2022 decreased $936 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2021. The net interest margin of 2.99% for the first quarter of 2022 was an increase of 5 basis points from the net interest margin of 2.94% for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Credit Quality

United’s asset quality continues to be sound. At March 31, 2022, non-performing loans were $79.9 million, or 0.43% of loans & leases, net of unearned income, down from $90.8 million, or 0.50% of loans & leases, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2021. Total non-performing assets of $93.5 million, including other real estate owned (“OREO”) of $13.6 million at March 31, 2022, represented 0.32% of total assets as compared to non-performing assets of $105.6 million, including OREO of $14.8 million, or 0.36% of total assets at December 31, 2021.

The provision for credit losses was a net benefit of $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 as compared to a provision for credit losses expense of $143 thousand for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in the provision in relation to the prior year quarter was primarily driven by the impact of better performance trends within the loan portfolio. On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2022 was a net benefit of $3.4 million compared to a net benefit of $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The fourth quarter of 2021 included a provision for loan losses of $12.3 million recorded on purchased non-credit deteriorated (“non-PCD”) loans from Community Bankers Trust.

As of March 31, 2022, the allowance for loan & lease losses was $214.6 million, or 1.17% of loans & leases, net of unearned income, as compared to $216.0 million, or 1.20% of loans & leases, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2021. Net recoveries were $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to net charge-offs of $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2021. Annualized net recoveries as a percentage of average loans & leases, net of unearned income were (0.04)% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.10% for the first quarter of 2021. Net charge-offs were $125 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $46.0 million, which was a decrease of $46.6 million, or 50%, from the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily driven by a $46.2 million decrease in income from mortgage banking activities mainly due to lower mortgage loan origination and sale volume driven by the rising rate environment and a lower margin on loans sold in the secondary market. Income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) for the first quarter of 2022 was $2.2 million, an increase of $791 thousand from the first quarter of 2021. Fees from deposit services for the first quarter of 2022 were $10.1 million, an increase of $1.3 million from the first quarter of 2021.

On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 decreased $8.0 million, or 15%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily driven by a decrease of $8.1 million in income from mortgage banking activities mainly due to lower mortgage loan origination and sale volume driven by the rising rate environment and a lower loan pipeline valuation. BOLI income increased $971 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2021 to $2.2 million. Fees from brokerage services increased $853 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2021 to $4.6 million.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $139.2 million, a decrease of $9.8 million, or 7%, from the first quarter of 2021. Employee compensation decreased $9.8 million due to lower employee commissions, incentives and overtime related to mortgage banking production partially offset by additional employees from the Community Bankers Trust acquisition. OREO expense decreased $3.5 million due to fewer declines in the fair value of OREO properties. Partially offsetting the decreases in noninterest expense was an increase in the expense for reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $4.5 million mainly due to an increase in outstanding loan commitments.

On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 decreased $12.6 million, or 8%, from the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to a decrease of $8.9 million in employee compensation and $3.5 million in data processing. The decrease in employee compensation was primarily due to fewer employees as well as lower employee commissions, incentives and overtime related to mortgage banking production. The fourth quarter of 2021 also included $2.5 million of merger-related employee compensation expenses from the Community Bankers Trust acquisition. The decrease in data processing expense was primarily due to $3.5 million of merger-related expenses associated with the Community Bankers Trust acquisition recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021. Also included in noninterest expense were merger-related expenses of $508 thousand for the first quarter of 2022 as compared to $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Income Tax Expense

For the first quarter of 2022, income tax expense was $20.1 million as compared to $27.6 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease of $7.5 million was primarily due to lower earnings and a lower effective tax rate. On a linked-quarter basis, income tax expense increased $607 thousand primarily due to higher earnings partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. United’s effective tax rate was 19.8% for the first quarter of 2022, 20.5% for the first quarter of 2021 and 20.9% for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Capital

United continues to be well-capitalized based upon regulatory guidelines. United’s estimated risk-based capital ratio is 15.1% at March 31, 2022, while estimated Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios are 13.0%, 13.0% and 10.4%, respectively. The March 31, 2022 ratios reflect United’s election of a five-year transition provision, allowed by the Federal Reserve Board and other federal banking agencies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to delay for two years the full impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period. The regulatory requirements for a well-capitalized financial institution are a risk-based capital ratio of 10.0%, a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.0% and a leverage ratio of 5.0%.

During the first quarter of 2022, United repurchased, under a previously announced stock repurchase plan, approximately 711 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $35.15. During the first quarter of 2021, United repurchased, under a previously announced stock repurchase plan, approximately 306 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $32.52. United did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Cautionary Statements

The Company is required under generally accepted accounting principles to evaluate subsequent events through the filing of its March 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q. As a result, the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of any subsequent events on critical accounting assumptions and estimates made as of March 31, 2022 and will adjust amounts preliminarily reported, if necessary.

Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Generally, United has presented these “non-GAAP” financial measures because it believes that these measures provide meaningful additional information to assist in the evaluation of United’s results of operations or financial position. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how United’s management evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the banking industry.

Specifically, this press release contains certain references to financial measures identified as tax-equivalent (FTE) net interest income, average tangible equity, return on average tangible equity and tangible book value per share. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures to be helpful in understanding United’s results of operations or financial position.

Net interest income is presented in this press release on a tax-equivalent basis. The tax-equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although this is a non-GAAP measure, United’s management believes this measure is more widely used within the financial services industry and provides better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. United uses this measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage its balance sheet composition. The tax-equivalent adjustment combines amounts of interest income on federally nontaxable loans and investment securities using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.

Tangible equity is calculated as GAAP total shareholders’ equity minus total intangible assets. Tangible equity can thus be considered the most conservative valuation of the company. Tangible equity is also presented on a per common share basis and considering net income, a return on average tangible equity. Management provides these amounts to facilitate the understanding of as well as to assess the quality and composition of United’s capital structure. By removing the effect of intangible assets that result from merger and acquisition activity, the “permanent” items of equity are presented. These measures, along with others, are used by management to analyze capital adequacy and performance.

Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the attached financial information tables to this press release. Investors should recognize that United’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and United strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.
