Insights

Financial Analyst

S&T Bancorp's Q4 2024 results reveal a strategically sound financial institution successfully navigating the challenging interest rate environment. The negative $2.5 million provision for credit losses is particularly noteworthy, reflecting strong asset quality management and reduced risk in the loan portfolio. This improvement is evidenced by decreasing criticized loans and net recoveries, suggesting conservative underwriting practices.

The bank's ability to grow deposits by $128.3 million in Q4, including $78.3 million in customer deposits, demonstrates strong franchise value and effective deposit gathering strategies despite high-rate competition. This growth allowed a reduction in borrowings by $88.1 million, improving the funding mix and potentially supporting future margin stability.

The 3.03% dividend increase to $0.34 per share reflects management's confidence in sustainable earnings power. While full-year 2024 earnings of $131.3 million were below 2023's record, this was expected given the normalization of interest rate conditions. The bank's strategic repositioning of its securities portfolio, despite taking a $2.6 million loss, positions it better for the anticipated rate environment in 2025.

Asset quality metrics are exemplary, with nonperforming assets at just 0.36% of total loans and the 1.31% allowance for credit losses provides ample coverage. The efficiency in managing expenses, with flat quarter-over-quarter noninterest expenses, demonstrates strong cost control despite inflationary pressures.

Fourth Quarter of 2024 Results (three months ended December 31, 2024)

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $83.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $84.5 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease of $1.2 million in net interest income was driven by lower interest income on loans due to a decline in interest rates which was partially offset by lower funding costs. NIM (FTE) (non-GAAP) was 3.77% compared to 3.82% in the prior quarter. The yield on total average earning assets decreased 15 basis points to 5.78% compared to 5.93% in the third quarter of 2024. Total average interest-bearing liability costs decreased 14 basis points to 3.03% compared to 3.17% in the third quarter of 2024.

Asset Quality

Asset quality continued to improve in the fourth quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses was negative $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to negative $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in the provision for credit losses primarily related to a lower allowance for credit losses driven by decreases in criticized and classified loans and net recoveries compared to the prior quarter. Net loan recoveries were $0.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to net loan charge-offs of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The allowance for credit losses was $101.5 million, or 1.31% of total portfolio loans, at December 31, 2024 compared to $104.3 million, or 1.36%, at September 30, 2024. Nonperforming assets to total loans plus OREO was low at 0.36% at December 31, 2024 compared to 0.41% at September 30, 2024.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income decreased $0.8 million to $11.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.6 million realized loss related to the repositioning of securities into longer duration, higher-yielding securities in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to a similar $2.2 million realized loss on the sale of securities in the third quarter of 2024. Noninterest expense was $55.4 million in both the fourth and third quarters of 2024. Expenses were relatively consistent quarter over quarter with salaries and benefits lower by $0.5 million due to a decrease in incentives.

Financial Condition

Total assets were $9.7 billion at December 31, 2024 compared to $9.6 billion at September 30, 2024. Total portfolio loans increased $53.9 million, or 2.79% annualized, compared to September 30, 2024. The consumer loan portfolio increased $35.2 million with growth in residential mortgages of $37.0 million compared to September 30, 2024. The commercial loan portfolio increased $18.7 million with growth in commercial real estate of $60.1 million partially offset by a decrease in commercial construction of $33.6 million and a decrease in commercial and industrial of $7.8 million compared to September 30, 2024. Total deposits increased $128.3 million compared to September 30, 2024. Certificates of Deposits (CDs) increased $96.6 million which included $50.0 million of additional brokered CDs compared to September 30, 2024. Demand deposits increased $27.7 million, interest-bearing demand deposits increased $39.5 million and money market deposits decreased $33.8 million compared to September 30, 2024. Total borrowings decreased $88.1 million to $250.3 million compared to $338.4 million at September 30, 2024 primarily related to deposit growth.

S&T continues to maintain a strong regulatory capital position with all capital ratios above the well-capitalized thresholds of federal bank regulatory agencies.

Full Year 2024 Results (twelve months ended December 31, 2024)

Net income was $131.3 million for 2024 compared to net income of $144.8 million for 2023. EPS was $3.41 compared to $3.74 in 2023. S&T had record net income and EPS in 2023 related to the impact of rising interest rates on net interest income.

Net interest income decreased $14.6 million, or 4.18%, to $334.8 million compared to $349.4 million in 2023. NIM (FTE) (non-GAAP) decreased 31 basis points to 3.82% compared to 4.13% for 2023. The decreases in both net interest income and NIM (FTE) (non-GAAP) were primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates on funding costs in 2024. While higher interest rates positively impacted interest income, the increase in interest income was more than offset by higher interest expense. The yield on total average earning assets increased 23 basis points to 5.87% compared to 5.64% in 2023. Total average interest-bearing liability costs increased 75 basis points to 3.09% compared to 2.34% in 2023 due in part to a shift to higher-costing money market and certificates of deposit.

Noninterest income decreased $8.5 million to $49.1 million compared to $57.6 million in the prior year. The decrease was mainly related to $7.9 million of realized losses from the repositioning of securities into longer duration, higher-yielding securities. Other noninterest income decreased $0.8 million primarily related to a gain of $3.9 million on the sale of OREO in 2023 compared to a $3.5 million gain from the exchange offer for Visa Class B-1 common stock in 2024.

Noninterest expense increased $8.6 million, or 4.09%, to $218.9 million compared to $210.3 million in 2023. Salaries and employee benefits increased $10.5 million primarily due to annual merit increases, the acquisition of talent and higher incentives and medical costs. Offsetting the increase in salaries and benefits were decreases in professional services and legal of $2.4 million and other noninterest expense of $3.2 million compared to 2023. The decrease in professional services and legal was primarily due to higher consulting expense in 2023 compared to 2024. The decrease in other noninterest expense was due to a decrease of $2.1 million related to the adoption of new accounting guidance for tax credit equity investments where the amortization of these investments is now included in tax expense versus other expense in 2023 and a $2.1 million decrease in loan collection and appraisal expense compared to 2023.

Asset quality improved substantially in 2024 driving a lower allowance for credit losses and minimal provision for credit losses. The provision for credit losses was only $0.1 million compared to $17.9 million for 2023 primarily due to lower criticized and classified loans and lower net charge-offs. Net loan charge-offs were $8.3 million for 2024 compared to $13.2 million for 2023. The allowance for credit losses was 1.31% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2024 compared to 1.41% at December 31, 2023. Nonperforming assets remained low at $27.9 million compared to $23.0 million in the prior year resulting in a nonperforming assets to total loans plus OREO ratio of 0.36% compared to 0.30% at December 31, 2023.

Dividend

S&T's Board of Directors approved a $0.34 per share cash dividend on January 29, 2025. This is an increase of $0.01, or 3.03%, compared to a $0.33 per share cash dividend declared in the same period in the prior year. The dividend is payable February 27, 2025 to shareholders of record on February 13, 2025. Dividends declared in 2024 increased $0.04, or 3.10%, to $1.33 compared to $1.29 for 2023.

Definitions and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
	2024		2024		2023
	Fourth		Third		Fourth
(dollars and shares in thousands)	Quarter		Quarter		Quarter
(1) Tangible Book Value (non-GAAP)
Total shareholders' equity	$1,380,294		$1,375,754		$1,283,445
Less: goodwill and other intangible assets, net of deferred tax liability	(375,837)		(375,931)		(376,631)
Tangible common equity (non-GAAP)	$1,004,457		$999,823		$906,814
Common shares outstanding	38,259		38,260		38,233
Tangible book value (non-GAAP)	$26.25		$26.13		$23.72
Tangible book value is a preferred industry metric used to measure our company's value and commonly used by investors and analysts.
(2) Return on Average Tangible Shareholders' Equity (non-GAAP)
Net income (annualized)	$131,541		$129,652		$146,980
Plus: amortization of intangibles (annualized), net of tax	858		893		1,003
Net income before amortization of intangibles (annualized)	$132,399		$130,545		$147,983
Average total shareholders' equity	$1,374,907		$1,354,047		$1,247,030
Less: average goodwill and other intangible assets, net of deferred tax liability	(375,879)		(376,048)		(376,761)
Average tangible equity (non-GAAP)	$999,028		$977,999		$870,269
Return on average tangible shareholders' equity (non-GAAP)	13.25 %		13.35 %		17.00 %
Return on average tangible shareholders' equity is a key profitability metric used by management to measure financial performance.
(3) Pre-provision Net Revenue / Average Assets (non-GAAP)
Income before taxes	$41,346		$41,443		$46,024
Plus: net losses on sale of securities	2,592		2,199		—
Less: gain on Visa Class B-1 exchange	(186)		(150)		—
Plus: Provision for credit losses	(2,462)		(454)		943
Total	$41,290		$43,038		$46,967
Total (annualized) (non-GAAP)	$164,262		$171,216		$186,336
Average assets	$9,571,712		$9,620,366		$9,473,669
Pre-provision Net Revenue / Average Assets (non-GAAP)	1.72 %		1.78 %		1.97 %
Pre-provision net revenue to average assets is income before taxes adjusted to exclude provision for credit losses, losses on sale of securities and gain on Visa exchange. We believe this to be a preferred industry measurement to help evaluate our ability to fund credit losses or build capital.
(4) Efficiency Ratio (non-GAAP)
Noninterest expense	$55,445		$55,365		$56,203
Net interest income per consolidated statements of net income	$83,258		$84,477		$85,109
Plus: taxable equivalent adjustment	660		671		683
Net interest income (FTE) (non-GAAP)	83,918		85,148		85,792
Noninterest income	11,071		11,877		18,061
Plus: net losses on sale of securities	2,592		2,199		—
Less: gain on Visa Class B-1 exchange	(186)		(150)		—
Net interest income (FTE) (non-GAAP) plus noninterest income	$97,395		$99,074		$103,853
Efficiency ratio (non-GAAP)	56.93 %		55.88 %		54.12 %
The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by noninterest income plus net interest income, on an FTE basis (non-GAAP), adjusted to exclude losses on sale of securities and gain on Visa exchange. We believe the FTE basis ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice.

(10) Net Interest Margin Rate (FTE) (non-GAAP)
Interest income and dividend income			$515,872		$477,901
Less: interest expense			(181,066)		(128,491)
Net interest income per consolidated statements of net income			334,806		349,410
Plus: taxable equivalent adjustment			2,706		2,550
Net interest income (FTE) (non-GAAP)			$337,512		$351,960
Average interest-earning assets			$8,835,468		$8,519,775
Net interest margin - (FTE) (non-GAAP)			3.82 %		4.13 %
The interest income on interest-earning assets, net interest income and net interest margin are presented on an FTE basis (non-GAAP). The FTE basis (non-GAAP) adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and securities and the dividend-received deduction for equity securities using the federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent for each period. We believe this to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income that provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable sources of interest income.
