The First Bancorp Second Quarter Earnings Increase 13.8%

DAMARISCOTTA, Maine--()--The First Bancorp (Nasdaq: FNLC), parent company of First National Bank, today announced operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Unaudited net income was $10.0 million, up $1.2 million or 13.8% from the $8.8 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and represents a new quarterly earnings high mark for the Company. Earnings per common share for the period on a fully diluted basis were up $0.11 to $0.91 per share, an increase of 13.8% from the prior year. The Company also reported results for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net income was $19.7 million, up $2.0 million or 11.3% from the first six months of 2021, with earnings per share on a fully diluted basis of $1.79, up $0.18 or 11.2% from the same period in 2021.

“The First Bancorp started 2022 very strongly, posting record earnings in each of the first two quarters", commented Tony C. McKim, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. "Growth in net interest income, predominantly from earning asset growth, was a primary driver of our results year-to-date, more than offsetting the effects of decreased mortgage activity and the wind-down of the Payroll Protection Program (PPP). Earning asset growth was focused in the loan portfolio which, excluding PPP, has grown $162.7 million year-to-date, representing an annualized growth rate of 20.2%. Growth continues to be centered in the commercial real estate and construction segments, along with loans secured by one-to-four family residential real estate. Our pipeline of new loans in process remains healthy.

"As noted, net interest income has been strong and in the second quarter was the primary factor in our overall performance. Loan growth drove a 16.5% increase in interest revenue from the portfolio compared to a year ago, leading to a 18.9% increase in net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 from the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Our net interest margin was 3.13% for the second quarter of 2022, up from 2.86% a year ago. Compared to the first quarter of 2022, net interest income increased a more modest 0.4% while the margin tightened from 3.24%. Both measures were influenced by lower PPP fee recognition. Non-interest income was solid. Wealth management, debit card, and service charge revenues increased 6.7%, 2.8%, 22.3% respectively in the second quarter compared to the same period a year ago. Mortgage banking revenues continued to trend down, as expected. Strong overall revenues along with managed operating expenses resulted in an excellent efficiency ratio of 43.49% for the quarter, improved from 44.75% for the same period a year ago, and from 45.42% in the first quarter of 2022."

Mr. McKim continued, "In addition to strong earning asset growth, we continue to be particularly pleased with the Bank's overall asset quality. As of June 30, 2022 the ratios of non-performing loans to total loans and non-performing assets to total assets were each at ten-year lows, and past due loans were well-controlled. COVID-19 related loan modifications have nearly all been resolved, with just four loans remaining in modification status at the end of the second quarter, representing less than $400,000 in total balances. Each of the four are residential mortgage loans and each is scheduled to exit modification within the next two months.

"The end of the second quarter marks the half-way point in our three-year strategic plan. I am so pleased with the progress we have made on the initiatives we laid out in the planning process in late 2020. The plan, along with outstanding efforts of our engaged employee base, are really the cornerstones of our success as a community bank."

OPERATING RESULTS

Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $10.0 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 13.8% from the three months ended June 30, 2021. On a PTPP (non-GAAP) basis net income for the period was $12.6 million, up $1.5 million or 13.2% from a year ago. The Company’s Return on Average Assets of 1.54% for the quarter was up from the 1.46% posted during the second quarter of 2021.

The Company's Efficiency Ratio (non-GAAP) was 43.49% in the second quarter of 2022, down from 44.75% in the second quarter of 2021.

Contributing factors to the Company’s operating results in the three months ended June 30, 2022 included:

  • Net interest income increased $3.0 million from the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 18.9%, attributable to a rise in revenue from earning asset growth and stable overall funding expenses. Net interest income was up $78,000 from the first quarter of 2022.
  • Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 3.13%, up from 2.86% for the same period in 2021.
  • Non-interest income before securities gains or losses was $4.1 million, a decrease of $785,000 or 16.1% from the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and a decrease of $149,000 or 3.5% from the first quarter of 2022.
    • Revenue increased $77,000 or 6.7% from the second quarter of 2021, and increased $32,000 or 2.7% from the first quarter of 2022 at First National Wealth Management, the Bank’s trust and investment management division.
    • Debit card revenue increased $36,000 or 2.8% from the second quarter of 2021, and decreased $104,000 or 7.3% from the first quarter of 2022. The decrease from the first quarter of 2022 is attributable to timing of an annual incentive payment.
    • Mortgage banking revenue decreased $1.0 million or 71.9% from the second quarter of 2021, and $118,000 or 23.7% from the first quarter of 2022. These decreases result from a significant year-to-year decrease in mortgage refinance activity and a $40,000 mark against mortgage servicing rights recognized in the second quarter of 2022.
    • Service charge revenue increased $85,000 from the second quarter of 2021, and $30,000 from the first quarter of 2022.
  • Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $10.2 million, up $676,000 or 7.1% from the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain information in this release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in its analysis of the Company's performance (including for purposes of determining the compensation of certain executive officers and other Company employees) and believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods and with other financial institutions, as well as demonstrating the effects of significant gains and charges in the current period, in light of the disclosure practices employed by many other publicly-traded financial institutions. The Company believes that a meaningful analysis of its financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance. Management believes that investors may use these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze financial performance without the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

In several places net interest income is calculated on a fully tax-equivalent basis. Specifically included in interest income was tax-exempt interest income from certain investment securities and loans. An amount equal to the tax benefit derived from this tax-exempt income has been added back to the interest income total which, as adjusted, increased net interest income accordingly. Management believes the disclosure of tax-equivalent net interest income information improves the clarity of financial analysis, and is particularly useful to investors in understanding and evaluating the changes and trends in the Company's results of operations. Other financial institutions commonly present net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis. This adjustment is considered helpful in the comparison of one financial institution's net interest income to that of another institution, as each will have a different proportion of tax-exempt interest from its earning assets. Moreover, net interest income is a component of a second financial measure commonly used by financial institutions, net interest margin, which is the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets. For purposes of this measure as well, other financial institutions generally use tax-equivalent net interest income to provide a better basis of comparison from institution to institution. The Company follows these practices.

The following table provides a reconciliation of tax-equivalent financial information to the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. A 21.0% tax rate was used in both 2022 and 2021.

The Company presents its efficiency ratio using non-GAAP information which is most commonly used by financial institutions. The GAAP-based efficiency ratio is non-interest expenses divided by net interest income plus non-interest income from the Consolidated Statements of Income. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio excludes securities losses and other-than-temporary impairment charges from non-interest expenses, excludes securities gains from non-interest income, and adds the tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income. The following table provides a reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP efficiency ratio:

The Company presents certain information based upon average tangible common equity instead of total average shareholders' equity. The difference between these two measures is the Company's intangible assets, specifically goodwill from prior acquisitions. Management, banking regulators and many stock analysts use the tangible common equity ratio and the tangible book value per common share in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, typically stemming from the use of the purchase accounting method in accounting for mergers and acquisitions. The following table provides a reconciliation of average tangible common equity to the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP:
