Valley National Bancorp Reports a 45 Percent Increase in Third Quarter 2022 Earnings With Strong Net Interest Income and Margin

October 27, 2022 7:00 AM

NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY), the holding company for Valley National Bank, today reported net income for the third quarter 2022 of $178.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, as compared to the third quarter 2021 earnings of $122.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, and net income of $96.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2022. Excluding all non-core charges, our adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $181.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2022, $124.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, for third quarter 2021, and $165.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2022. See further details below, including a reconciliation of our non-GAAP adjusted net income in the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables.

Key financial highlights for the third quarter:

Ira Robbins, CEO commented, “The third quarter’s exceptional results were highlighted by continued profitability improvement and very strong credit quality metrics. Our asset sensitive balance sheet continues to grow and benefit from rising interest rates despite the increased funding pressure that is evident across the industry. We are pleased with our ongoing net interest margin enhancement and consistent net interest income growth. Despite a reduction in origination activity, loan growth remained strong as payoffs slowed meaningfully during the quarter. Additionally, a handful of positive credit resolutions led to approximately $6 million of net loan recoveries during the third quarter 2022 and a reduction in non-accrual loan balances at September 30, 2022. Valley’s asset quality and consistent underwriting criteria remain a hallmark of our organization and have driven solid performance across various economic environments.”

Mr. Robbins continued, “While the environment around us is uncertain and rapidly changing, I am incredibly proud of Valley’s ability to continually execute on strategic growth opportunities. As Valley continues to evolve, our unique relationship-focused commercial bank stands out in an increasingly commoditized financial service landscape.”

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaling $455.3 million for the third quarter 2022 increased $35.7 million as compared to the second quarter 2022 and increased $153.6 million from the third quarter 2021. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis in the third quarter 2022 increased $83.7 million to $538.0 million as compared to the second quarter 2022. The increase was mostly due to higher average loan balances driven by our organic loan growth and increased yields on both new originations and adjustable rate loans in our portfolio. Interest expense of $82.7 million for the third quarter 2022 increased $47.9 million as compared to the second quarter 2022 largely due to higher interest rates on both non-maturity deposits and short-term borrowings, as well as a $1.5 billion increase in average interest bearing liabilities.

Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.60 percent for the third quarter 2022 increased by 17 basis points and 45 basis points from 3.43 percent and 3.15 percent for the second quarter 2022 and third quarter 2021, respectively. The yield on average interest earning assets increased by 54 basis points on a linked quarter basis mostly due to the aforementioned higher yields on new and adjustable rate loans in the third quarter 2022 as compared to the second quarter 2022. The yield on average loans increased by 57 basis points to 4.48 percent for the third quarter 2022 as compared to the second quarter 2022 largely due to the higher level of market interest rates. The yields on average taxable and non-taxable investments also increased 9 basis points and 25 basis points, respectively, from the second quarter 2022 largely due to investment maturities and prepayments redeployed into new higher yielding securities, as well as lower premium amortization expense caused by a decline in prepayments on mortgage-backed securities during the third quarter 2022. Our cost of total average deposits increased to 0.59 percent for the third quarter 2022 from 0.19 percent for the second quarter 2022. The overall cost of average interest bearing liabilities also increased 59 basis points to 1.06 percent for the third quarter 2022 as compared to the second quarter 2022. The increased cost of funds was mainly due to higher interest rates on most of our interest bearing deposit products combined with greater utilization of brokered and retail CDs in our funding mix during the third quarter 2022.

Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings

Loans. Loans increased $1.6 billion to approximately $45.2 billion at September 30, 2022 from June 30, 2022 largely due to strong organic loan growth and slower paydowns of existing loans. Commercial and industrial, total commercial real estate (including construction), and residential mortgage increased 9 percent, 17 percent and 14 percent, respectively, on an annualized basis during the third quarter 2022. SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans within the commercial and industrial category totaled $85.8 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $136.0 million at June 30, 2022. Solid organic commercial loan production continued to be experienced across most of our geographic footprints and supported by our market expansion efforts resulting from the Bank Leumi USA acquisition in the second quarter 2022. Residential mortgage loans increased $172.1 million during the third quarter 2022 almost entirely due to new loan activity in the purchased home market and higher levels of such loans originated for investment rather than sale. Residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value totaled only $6.1 million and $18.3 million at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $1.4 billion to approximately $45.3 billion at September 30, 2022 from June 30, 2022 largely due to growth in our retail and brokered CD portfolios. Total brokered deposits, consisting of money market and time deposit accounts, increased to $3.7 billion at September 30, 2022 as compared to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2022. Non-interest bearing deposits; savings, NOW and money market deposits; and time deposits represented approximately 34 percent, 52 percent and 14 percent of total deposits as of September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to 37 percent, 54 percent and 9 percent of total deposits as of June 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in time deposits within our overall deposit mix is a result of strategic retail CD campaigns and higher brokered CDs at September 30, 2022.

Other Borrowings. Short-term borrowings decreased $603.5 million to $919.3 million at September 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2022 largely due to the maturity of FHLB advances during the third quarter 2022 and our increased utilization of brokered deposits, as a favorable funding alternative at September 30, 2022. Long-term borrowings increased to approximately $1.5 billion at September 30, 2022 as compared to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2022 primarily due to the issuance of new subordinated notes during the third quarter 2022. On September 20, 2022, Valley issued $150 million of 6.25 percent fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due September 30, 2032. At September 30, 2022, the subordinated notes had a carrying value of $147.5 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Credit Quality

Non-Performing Assets (NPAs). Total NPAs, consisting of non-accrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets decreased $19.9 million to $294.8 million at September 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2022 mostly due to declines in non-accrual commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans mainly caused by a few large loan repayments, and, to a lesser extent, loan charge-offs during the third quarter 2022. Non-accrual loans represented 0.65 percent of total loans at September 30, 2022 compared to 0.72 percent at June 30, 2022.

Non-performing Taxi Medallion Loan Portfolio. Our non-performing taxi medallion loans within the non-accrual commercial and industrial loan category decreased $4.1 million to $76.3 million at September 30, 2022 from June 30, 2022 mostly due to partial loan charge-offs related to one borrower during the third quarter 2022. At September 30, 2022, all taxi medallion loans were on non-accrual status and had related reserves of $51.4 million, or 67.3 percent of such loans, within the allowance for loan losses.

Accruing Past Due Loans. Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) increased $25.2 million to $98.7 million, or 0.22 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2022 as compared to $73.5 million, or 0.17 percent of total loans at June 30, 2022.

Loans 60 to 89 days past due increased $11.2 million as compared to June 30, 2022 mostly due to two construction loan relationships totaling $13.0 million included in this delinquency category at September 30, 2022.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest increased $14.2 million as compared to June 30, 2022 mainly due to two commercial real estate loan relationships totaling $9.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively, included in this delinquency category at September 30, 2022. All loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest are well-secured and in the process of collection.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans and Unfunded Commitments. The following table summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to loan categories and the allocation as a percentage of each loan category at September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021:

Our loan portfolio, totaling $45.2 billion at September 30, 2022, had net recoveries of loan charge-offs totaling $5.6 million for the third quarter 2022 as compared to net loan charge-offs of $2.3 million (excluding $62.4 million of immediate PCD loan charge-offs related to the Bank Leumi USA acquisition) and $293 thousand for the second quarter 2022 and third quarter 2021, respectively. Gross loan charge-offs of taxi medallion loans totaled $3.8 million for the third quarter 2022 as compared to $143 thousand and $2.7 million during the third quarter 2021 and the second quarter 2022, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses for loans, comprised of our allowance for loan losses and unfunded credit commitments, as a percentage of total loans was 1.10 percent at September 30, 2022 as compared to 1.13 percent and 1.09 percent at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. During the third quarter 2022, the provision for credit losses for loans totaled $1.8 million as compared to $43.7 million and $3.5 million for the second quarter 2022 and third quarter 2021, respectively. The second quarter 2022 provision was largely elevated due to $41 million of provision related to non-PCD loans and unfunded credit commitments acquired from Bank Leumi USA. Overall, an increased economic forecast reserve component of our CECL model was largely offset by lower expected quantitative loss experience at September 30, 2022.

Capital Adequacy

Valley's total risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 11.84 percent, 9.09 percent, 9.56 percent, and 8.31 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2022.

NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

(1) Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a tax equivalent basis using a 21 percent federal tax rate. Valley believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and net interest margin arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC rules.
(2) Represents the allowance for acquired PCD loans, net of PCD loan charge-offs totaling $62.4 million in the second quarter 2022.
(3) Non-GAAP Reconciliations. This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the Notes below, which has been determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that management uses in its analysis of Valley's performance. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to both management and investors in understanding Valley’s underlying operational performance, business and performance trends, and may facilitate comparisons of our current and prior performance with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning, forecasting and analysis purposes. Management believes that Valley’s presentation and discussion of this supplemental information, together with the accompanying reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, also allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be calculated differently from similar measures disclosed by other companies.
