Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation Reports Strong Third Quarter Results, as Net Interest Margin Continues to Expand

Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation
Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation

Bedminster, NJ, Oct. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: PGC) (the “Company”) announces its third quarter 2022 results.

This earnings release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Q3 2022 Investor Update, a copy of which is available on our website at www.pgbank.com and via a current report on Form 8-K on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

The Company recorded total revenue of $61.91 million, net income of $20.13 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.09 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to revenue of $52.99 million, net income of $14.17 million and diluted EPS of $0.74 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company’s return on average assets, return on average equity, and return on average tangible equity totaled 1.30%, 15.21% and 16.73%, respectively, for the September 2022 quarter.

The September 2022 quarter results were driven by continued improvement in net interest income and net interest margin, which improved $10.3 million and 56 basis points, when compared to the September 2021 quarter (and $2.6 million and 15 basis points when compared to the June 2022 quarter). This benefit was partially offset by a decline in noninterest income, principally wealth management fee income and capital markets activity fee income, due to volatility in the markets.

The September 2022 quarter included a $571,000 fair value adjustment on an equity security held for CRA investment purposes. This adjustment reduced total revenue by $571,000; net income by $414,000; and EPS by $0.03, for the September 2022 quarter.

Douglas L. Kennedy, President and CEO said, “Our third quarter 2022 results continued to reflect the asset sensitivity of our loan portfolio, as loans continued to reprice upward in the rising rate environment.”

Mr. Kennedy also noted, "As previously announced, the Company has entered the Life Insurance Premium Finance business. Life insurance premium finance is a safe and profitable business, and we believe it is the next logical step in our growth plan. While Q4 of 2022 will include some level of loan originations, the business is expected to be fully operational at the beginning of 2023."

The following are select highlights:

Peapack Private Wealth Management:

  • AUM/AUA in our Peapack Private Wealth Management Division totaled $9.3 billion at September 30, 2022.

  • Gross new business inflows for Q3 2022 totaled $219 million (and for the first nine months of 2022 totaled $775 million).

  • Wealth Management fee income of $12.9 million for Q3 2022 comprised 21% of total revenue for the quarter.

  • Successfully opened our new Summit Wealth Management office, which has consolidated the teams of several previously acquired firms with legacy Peapack Private team members.

Commercial Banking and Balance Sheet Management:

  • The net interest margin ("NIM") improved by 15 basis points in Q3 2022 compared to Q2 2022 and improved 56 basis points when compared to Q3 2021.

  • During the third quarter of 2022, the Company successfully migrated $287 million of interest-bearing checking into noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

  • Noninterest-bearing demand deposits comprised 25% of total deposits as of September 30, 2022.

  • Core deposits (which includes noninterest-bearing demand and interest-bearing demand, savings and money market accounts) totaled 91% of total deposits at September 30, 2022.

  • Commercial & industrial lending (“C&I”) loan/lease balances comprised 40% of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 2022.

  • Total loans grew 7% (9% annualized) to $5.19 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $4.84 billion at December 31, 2021.

  • Fee income on unused commercial lines of credit totaled $818,000 for Q3 2022.

Capital Management:

  • Repurchased 290,399 shares of Company stock for a total cost of $9.9 million during Q3 2022. (790,277 shares of Company stock for a total cost of $27.5 million were repurchased during the first nine months of 2022.)

  • At September 30, 2022, Regulatory Tier 1 Leverage Ratio stood at 10.8% for Peapack-Gladstone Bank (the "Bank") and 8.7% for the Company; and Regulatory Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio (to Risk-Weighted Assets) stood at 13.5% for the Bank and 10.9% for the Company. These ratios have increased from June 30, 2022 levels (and from December 31, 2021 levels) and are significantly above well capitalized standards, as capital has benefitted from strong net income generation.

SUPPLEMENTAL QUARTERLY DETAILS:

Peapack Private Wealth Management

In the September 2022 quarter, the Bank’s wealth management business, Peapack Private Wealth Management ("PPWM"), generated $12.94 million in fee income, compared to $13.89 million for the June 30, 2022 quarter and $13.86 million for the September 2021 quarter. Continued market declines in 2022 further impacted the results in the September 2022 quarter, as the S&P decreased another 5% in Q3 2022 (and YTD down 25%).

John Babcock, President of Peapack Private Wealth Management, noted, “Notwithstanding broad market forces that have negatively impacted both the equities and bond markets, and with economic challenges ahead, our business is sound and continues to attract new clients as well as additional funds from existing relationships. In Q3 2022, total new accounts and client additions totaled $219 million which brings our nine-month 2022 total to $775 million, an annualized pace consistent with the last several years. As we enter Q4 2022, our new business pipeline is healthy, and we remain focused on delivering excellent service and advice to our clients during these turbulent times. Our highly skilled professionals, our fiduciary powers and expertise, our financial planning capabilities and our high-touch client service model distinguishes PPWM in our market and are the drivers behind our growth and success.”

Loans / Commercial Banking

Total loans grew 7% (9% annualized) to $5.19 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $4.84 billion at December 31, 2021.

Total C&I loans and leases at September 30, 2022 were $2.10 billion or 40% of the total loan portfolio.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “Our loan growth has historically been strong however, given economic uncertainty and rising interest rates, we believe loan demand will subside somewhat. Further, we have tightened our initial underwriting in anticipation of a potential economic downturn and higher rate environment. Given that, we believe we will achieve modest growth for the remainder of 2022, resulting in mid to high single digit growth for all of 2022.”

Mr. Kennedy also noted, “We are proud to have built a leading middle market commercial banking franchise, as evidenced by our C&I Portfolio, Treasury Management services, and Corporate Advisory and SBA businesses. Additionally, we are encouraged by the expansion into the Life Insurance Premium Finance business and believe it will prove to be a safe and profitable business line that aligns with the Company's strategy.”

The Company’s reported NII and NIM for Q3 2022 increased $2.6 million and 15 basis points, respectively, compared to the linked quarter (Q2 2022) and $10.3 million and 56 basis points compared to the prior year quarter (Q3 2021). When comparing to the prior year quarter the Bank grew its loan portfolio at rates/spreads beneficial to NIM, while reducing lower-yielding liquidity. Additionally, the Bank benefitted from the increases in LIBOR and the Prime rate during 2022.

Mr. Kennedy stated, “As noted above, we benefitted from the increases in LIBOR and Prime during 2022 and our loan portfolio is positioned to continue to benefit from a rise in interest rates. 23% of our loan portfolio reprices within one-month; 36% within three-months and 46% ($2.4 billion) within one year. Our current modeling, with an average deposit beta assumption of 45% on a go-forward basis, indicates net interest income will improve approximately 2.2% in year one and 5.8% in year two, after a 150-basis point rate shock.”

Funding / Liquidity / Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company actively manages its deposit base to reduce reliance on wholesale funding, volatility, and/or operational risk. Total deposits increased $33 million to $5.30 billion at September 30, 2022 from $5.27 billion at December 31, 2021 and decreased $105 million from $5.40 billion at June 30, 2022. The deposit outflows for the quarter included large relationships strategically utilizing their funds, including investing into our Wealth Management business, acquisitions, further investing in their business, and purchasing real estate and other investments. As noted previously, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company successfully migrated $287 million of interest-bearing checking into noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “91% of our deposits are demand, savings, or money market accounts, and our noninterest bearing deposits comprise 25% of our total deposits; both metrics reflect the core nature of our deposit base.”

At September 30, 2022, the Company’s balance sheet liquidity (investments available for sale, interest-earning deposits and cash) totaled $634.1 million (or 10% of assets).

The Company maintains backup liquidity of approximately $1.8 billion of secured available funding with the Federal Home Loan Bank and $1.7 billion of secured funding from the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The available funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve are secured by the Company’s loan and investment portfolios.

Income from Capital Markets Activities

Noninterest income from Capital Markets activities (detailed below) totaled $784,000 for the September 2022 quarter compared to $2.86 million for the June 2022 quarter and $2.06 million for the September 2021 quarter. The June 2022 quarter results were driven by $2.68 million in gains on sales of SBA loans. The September 2021 quarter reflected $1.57 million in gains on the sale of SBA loans and increased mortgage banking activity due to greater refinance activity in the low-rate environment.

Other noninterest income was $2.66 million for Q3 2022 compared to $1.76 million for Q2 2022 and $1.86 million for Q3 2021. Q3 2022 included $818,000 of unused line fees compared to $529,000 for Q2 2022 and $163,000 for Q3 2021. Additionally, Q3 2022 included $547,000 of income recorded by the Equipment Finance Division related to equipment transfers to lessees.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s total operating expenses were $33.56 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $32.66 million for the June 2022 quarter and $32.19 million for the September 2021 quarter. The 2022 quarters included increased costs related to health insurance and corporate insurance, as well as normal annual merit increases and year-end bonuses. The September 2021 quarter included $1.4 million related to a swap valuation allowance.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “While we continue to manage expenses closely and prudently, we have and will continue to invest in our existing people as the market demands in order to retain the talent we have acquired. We will also grow and expand our core wealth management and commercial banking businesses, including strategic hires and lift-outs, and invest in digital enhancements to further enhance the client experience.”

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 27.47%, as compared to 26.35% for the June 2022 quarter and 26.22% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, reflecting higher pre-tax income.

Asset Quality / Provision for Credit Losses

Nonperforming assets (which does not include troubled debt restructured loans that are performing in accordance with their terms) were $15.8 million, or 0.26% of total assets at September 30, 2022. Loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing were $7.2 million, which included a $5.1 million outstanding loan to a US governmental unit.

Criticized and classified loans totaled $109.6 million at September 30, 2022, reflecting declines from both December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 levels.

The Company currently has no loans or leases on deferral and accruing. (During the COVID-19 pandemic, $914 million was on deferral status at June 30, 2020).

On January 1, 2022, the Company implemented Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology for calculating the Company’s Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”). The day one CECL adjustment totaled $5.5 million (a reduction to December 31, 2021 ACL, and benefit to Capital, net of tax effect).

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s provision for credit losses was $599,000 compared to $1.4 million for the June 2022 quarter and $1.6 million for the September 2021 quarter. The provision for credit losses in the September 2022 was lower, when compared to the June 2022 and September 2021 quarters, principally driven by modest loan growth when compared to prior periods.

At September 30, 2022, the ACL was $59.68 million (1.15% of total loans), compared to $59.02 million (1.14% of loans) at June 30, 2022. The ALLL at December 31, 2021 (before adoption of CECL) was $61.70 million (1.27% of loans).

Capital

The Company’s capital position during the September 2022 quarter was benefitted by net income of $20.13 million which was partially offset by the repurchase of 290,399 shares through the Company’s stock repurchase program at a total cost of $9.9 million and the quarterly dividend of $909,000. U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) Capital at September 30, 2022 was also impacted by a $23.6 million increase in the unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities in the third quarter of 2022 due to the significant rise in medium-term Treasury yields.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “Despite capital spent on stock repurchases, and capital being affected by the increased unrealized loss on AFS securities, our tangible book value per share improved slightly during Q3 2022 to $26.10 at September 30, 2022.”

The Company’s and Bank’s regulatory capital ratios as of September 30, 2022 remain strong, and reflect increases from June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 levels. Where applicable, such ratios remain well above regulatory well capitalized standards.

The Company employs quarterly capital stress testing – adverse case and severely adverse case. In the most recent completed stress test (as of June 30, 2022), under the severely adverse case, and no growth scenario, the Bank remains well capitalized over a two-year stress period. With an additional stress overlay (impacting the industries most affected by the Pandemic more severely), the Bank still remains well capitalized over the two-year stress period.

On October 27, 2022, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on November 28, 2022, to shareholders of record on November 10, 2022.

PEAPACK-GLADSTONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION

Tangible book value per share and tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible equity by period end common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing shareholders’ equity by period end common shares outstanding. We calculate tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end. We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to recurring revenue. We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses, excluding other real estate owned provision, as determined under GAAP, by net interest income and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains/(losses) on loans held for sale at lower of cost or fair value and excluding net gains on securities from this calculation, which we refer to below as recurring revenue. We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of core expenses relative to core revenue.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios because our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titles measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity, tangible book value per share and efficiency ratio to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
