Positive
  • Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $33.8 million, with diluted earnings per share of $0.71.

The reported net income and diluted earnings per share signify a plateau in growth for NBT Bancorp Inc., with only a slight increase from the previous year's figures. The earnings of $0.71 per diluted share, despite being higher than the preceding quarter, reflect a decrease when adjusted for share dilution year-over-year. This indicates a potential concern for investors regarding scalability and profit maximization in the current economic climate.

Operating net income, a non-GAAP measure, decreased compared to the first quarter of 2023, which may be attributed to acquisition expenses and other specified items. Investors might see this as a sign of increased costs affecting the bottom line, despite revenue streams from fee-based businesses. The strategic emphasis on diversification into fee-based services is noteworthy as it contributes to over a third of total revenues, demonstrating an attempt to mitigate risks from interest rate fluctuations.

The increase in net interest margin, albeit small, in a challenging interest rate environment could be seen as an indicator of effective asset-liability management. However, the minimal growth in net interest income year-over-year combined with an overall dip in net interest margin from the previous year could be a warning for potential margin compression.

NBT Bancorp's deposit growth reflects robust liquidity trends, which is a positive signal to investors. The granular composition of over half a million accounts and an average account balance under $20,000 suggests a strong retail banking base, which can be seen as a positive indicator of stability and potential for cross-selling opportunities.

However, the migration from noninterest-bearing to higher-cost deposits could squeeze margins if not met with proportional yield increases on the asset side. Investors would do well to monitor the loan to deposit ratio, which has seen a slight improvement, for insights into the bank's liquidity management and interest rate risk exposure.

Asset quality, as measured by net charge-offs and nonperforming loans, remains stable, a reassuring sign of credit risk management. The slight uptick in nonperforming loans year-over-year will be an area to watch, particularly as it may indicate potential weaknesses in the loan portfolio's health. The maintained allowance for loan losses signifies a prudent approach to potential future credit losses.

From a credit perspective, the consistency in the allowance for loan losses ratio can be interpreted as a cautious stance by the bank, reflecting a measured response to current and anticipated loan performance.

NORWICH, N.Y., April 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NBT Bancorp Inc. (“NBT” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NBTB) reported net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

CEO Comments

“NBT reported solid results for the quarter despite the ongoing challenges presented by the interest rate environment. Our resilient balance sheet is the foundation that allows our team to execute on our growth strategies across our markets. Our fee-based businesses continued to grow, providing diversified revenue streams that generated 31% of total revenues," said NBT President and CEO John H. Watt, Jr. "NBT is poised to participate in the transformational growth that will occur in our core Upstate NY markets as the result of multiple game-changing investments in semiconductor manufacturing, including the recently announced $6.1 billion grant Micron Technology will receive under the CHIPS & Science Act that will, in part, support its plans to invest as much as $100 billion, over the next ten years, in a new complex of semiconductor chip manufacturing plants near Syracuse.”

Deposits

  • Total deposits at March 31, 2024 increased $226.3 million to $11.20 billion, compared to $10.97 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase in deposits was primarily due to the inflow of seasonal municipal deposits during the quarter.

  • Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $95.2 million, which was down $4.0 million, or 4.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2023 and up $0.1 million, or 0.1%, from the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest income from the fourth quarter of 2023 resulted from the decrease in short-term interest-bearing accounts and the interest earned on those accounts and one less day in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter 2023.
  • The NIM on an FTE basis for the first quarter of 2024 was 3.14%, a decrease of only 1 bp from the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and a decrease in average balance of noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts, partly offset by lower average balances of short-term borrowings and an increase in average earning asset yields. The NIM on an FTE basis decreased 41 bps from the first quarter of 2023 due to the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower average balances of short-term borrowings, higher earning asset yields and the impact of acquisition-related net accretion.
  • Earning asset yields for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased 5 bps from the prior quarter to 4.84% and increased 58 bps from the same quarter in the prior year. Loan yields for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased 7 bps from the prior quarter to 5.54% and increased 54 bps from the same quarter in the prior year. Average earning assets decreased $290.4 million, or 2.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the decrease in the average balance of short-term interest-bearing accounts. Average earning assets grew $1.36 billion, or 12.5%, from the first quarter of 2023 due to the Salisbury Bancorp, Inc. (“Salisbury”) acquisition and organic loan growth.
  • Total cost of deposits, including noninterest bearing deposits, was 1.61% for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 10 bps from the prior quarter and an increase of 114 bps from the same period in the prior year. For the month of March, the total costs of deposits was 1.64%.

  • Provision expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $5.6 million, compared to $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • The allowance for loan losses was $115.3 million, or 1.19% of total loans, at March 31, 2024, consistent with $114.4 million, or 1.19% of total loans at December 31, 2023.

  • Retirement plan administration fees were up $3.1 million from the prior quarter and were $2.8 million higher than the first quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior quarter, as expected, was due to certain seasonal activity-based fees in the first quarter, organic growth and positive market performance. The increase from the first quarter of 2023 included the impact from the acquisition of Retirement Direct, LLC on July 1, 2023, organic growth and market performance.
  • Wealth management fees were up $0.5 million from the prior quarter and were $1.6 million higher than the first quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was driven by organic growth and favorable market performance. The increase from the first quarter of 2023 was driven by the addition of Salisbury revenues, organic growth and market performance.
  • Insurance services were up $0.7 million from the prior quarter and were $0.5 million higher than the first quarter of 2023 due to organic growth, higher levels of policy renewals and first quarter seasonality.

  • Salaries and benefits increased 11.4% from the prior quarter driven by higher incentive compensation costs, seasonally higher payroll taxes and stock-based compensation expenses and merit pay increases which were effective in March. The 15.7% increase from the first quarter of 2023 was driven by the impact of the Salisbury acquisition and higher stock-based compensation expenses.
  • Occupancy costs increased from the prior quarter and the first quarter of 2023 driven by seasonal costs on a linked quarter basis including utilities expenses, timing of maintenance activities and additional expenses from the Salisbury acquisition.
  • Professional fees and outside services decreased from the prior quarter due to timing of initiatives and increased from the first quarter of 2023 driven by the Salisbury acquisition.
  • Amortization of intangible assets increased $1.6 million from the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets related to the Salisbury acquisition.
  • The decrease in other expenses was $1.2 million compared to the fourth quarter 2023 due primarily to timing of expenses including travel and advertising.

  • Stockholders’ equity increased $15.7 million from December 31, 2023 driven by net income generation of $33.8 million, partially offset by dividends declared of $15.1 million and a $3.6 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss driven by the change in the market value of securities available for sale.
  • March 31, 2024, CET1 capital ratio of 11.68%, leverage ratio of 10.09% and total risk-based capital ratio of 14.87%.
