HOUSTON, Oct. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegiance Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: ABTX) (Allegiance), the holding company of Allegiance Bank (the "Bank"), today reported record net income of $19.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.93 for the third quarter 2021 compared to net income of $16.2 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.79 for the third quarter 2020. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $60.0 million, or $2.95 per diluted share, compared to $29.6 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The third quarter ended September 30, 2021 results were driven by increased net interest income and an increased provision for credit losses compared to the third quarter 2020. The nine months ended September 30, 2021 results were primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses and increased net interest income driven by lower funding costs compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

“This quarter was a period of outstanding focus and execution by our bankers. We continued to experience growth as we saw opportunities to grow deposit and loan volumes even though the loan market remains very competitive,” said Steve Retzloff, Allegiance’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are very pleased with our solid third quarter operating metrics and credit performance,” commented Retzloff.

“I could not be more proud of our team as I look back on a very successful 2021 so far. Their hard work has been instrumental to our growth as we welcomed and retained a significant number of our PPP customers, evidence of our ongoing dedication to customer service and the strong value proposition we offer our customers. We believe our core strength is the unwavering commitment to service that we provide to our customers and communities that consistently yields an outstanding customer experience. As we look to the future, we feel very well-positioned to execute our business model and seize the opportunity to gain market share,” concluded Retzloff.

Third Quarter 2021 Results

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses in the third quarter 2021 increased $6.3 million, or 12.1%, to $58.2 million from $51.9 million for the third quarter 2020 and increased $1.6 million, or 2.8%, from $56.6 million for the second quarter 2021.These increases were primarily due to changes in the volume and relative mix of the underlying assets and liabilities, the impact of loans within the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) as well as lower costs on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased 5 basis points to 3.90% for the third quarter 2021 from 3.95% for the third quarter 2020 and decreased 12 basis points from 4.02% for the second quarter 2021. The decreases in the margin were primarily due to the decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets, driven by the increase in cash and securities, partially offset by the decrease in funding costs.

Noninterest income for the third quarter 2021 was $2.1 million, an increase of $249 thousand, or 13.5%, compared to $1.9 million for the third quarter 2020 and decreased $174 thousand, or 7.7%, compared to $2.3 million for the second quarter 2021. Third quarter 2021 noninterest income reflected higher transactional fee income when compared to the third quarter 2020 and lower correspondent bank rebates, included in other noninterest income, than the second quarter 2021.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter 2021 increased $1.7 million, or 5.3%, to $34.3 million from $32.6 million for the third quarter 2020 and increased $701 thousand, or 2.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase over the prior year was primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits, as a result of increased performance-based bonus and profit sharing accruals, partially offset by decreased other real estate expenses as $1.9 million of other real estate write-downs were recorded in the third quarter 2020.

In the third quarter 2021, Allegiance’s efficiency ratio decreased to 56.91% compared to 60.58% for the third quarter 2020 and decreased from 57.07% for the second quarter 2021. Third quarter 2021 annualized returns on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity were 1.14%, 9.45% and 13.49%, respectively, compared to 1.09%, 8.59% and 12.72% for the third quarter 2020. Annualized returns on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity for the second quarter 2021 were 1.42%, 11.87% and 17.20%, respectively. Return on average tangible equity is a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation on page 10.  

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Results

Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $22.7 million, or 15.3%, to $170.5 million from $147.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to lower costs related to interest-bearing liabilities as well as an $825.4 million, or 16.8%, increase in average interest-earning assets over the prior year including the impact of PPP loans. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased 3 basis points to 4.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 4.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in the margin over the prior year was primarily due to the decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets partially offset by decreased funding costs.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $6.1 million, a decrease of $29 thousand, or 0.5%, compared to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due primarily to lower correspondent bank rebates and gains on the sale of securities partially offset by increased debit card and ATM card income.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $8.1 million, or 8.5%, to $102.8 million from $94.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in noninterest expense over the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to increased performance-based bonus and profit sharing accruals along with the reduced amount of deferred PPP loan origination costs, increased other expenses and the write-down of assets related to the closure of a bank office partially offset by lower other real estate expenses as $4.1 million of other real estate write-downs were recorded during the prior year 2020.

Allegiance’s efficiency ratio decreased from 61.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 58.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, returns on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity were 1.25%, 10.30% and 14.89%, respectively, compared to 0.72%, 5.43% and 8.16%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Return on average tangible equity is a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation on page 10.

Financial Condition

Total assets at September 30, 2021 increased $792.0 million, or 13.3%, to $6.76 billion compared to $5.97 billion at September 30, 2020 and increased $251.1 million, or 15.4% (annualized), compared to $6.51 billion at June 30, 2021, primarily due to increased liquidity, growth in the securities portfolio and the origination of core loans partially offset by paydowns of PPP loans.

Total loans at September 30, 2021 decreased $302.9 million, or 6.6%, to $4.29 billion compared to $4.59 billion at September 30, 2020 and decreased $171.3 million, or 15.4% (annualized), compared to $4.46 billion at June 30, 2021, primarily due to paydowns on PPP loans. Core loans, which exclude PPP loans, increased $117.3 million, or 3.0%, to $4.00 billion at September 30, 2021 from $3.88 billion at September 30, 2020 and increased $37.9 million, or 3.8% (annualized), from $3.96 billion at June 30, 2021.

Deposits at September 30, 2021 increased $749.5 million, or 15.2%, to $5.67 billion compared to $4.92 billion at September 30, 2020 and increased $233.5 million, or 17.2% (annualized), compared to $5.43 billion at June 30, 2021.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $29.8 million, or 0.44%, of total assets, at September 30, 2021 compared to $46.8 million, or 0.78%, of total assets, at September 30, 2020 and $38.0 million, or 0.58%, of total assets at June 30, 2021. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.18% at September 30, 2021, 1.06% at September 30, 2020 and 1.11% at June 30, 2021.

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter 2021 was $2.3 million, an increase of $1.0 million, compared to $1.3 million for the third quarter 2020 and a recapture of provision for credit losses of $2.7 million for the second quarter 2021, reflective of the current uncertainty surrounding the economic impact caused by COVID-19 compared to the prior quarter where there were improvements in economic factors.

Third quarter 2021 net charge-offs were $450 thousand, or 0.04% (annualized) of average loans, an increase from net charge-offs of $291 thousand, or 0.03% (annualized) of average loans, for the third quarter 2020 and $162 thousand, or 0.01% (annualized) of average loans, for the second quarter 2021.

Allegiance Bancshares, Inc.
GAAP Reconciliation and Management’s Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Allegiance’s management uses certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate its performance. Allegiance believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Allegiance’s performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods. Specifically, Allegiance reviews tangible book value per share, return on average tangible equity and the ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Allegiance has included in this Earnings Release information relating to these non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods presented.  These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which Allegiance calculates the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
