CBTX, Inc. Reports Quarterly Financial Results


(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) HOUSTON, Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CBTX, Inc., or the Company (NASDAQ: CBTX), the bank holding company for CommunityBank of Texas, N.A., or the Bank, today announced its results for the third quarter of 2021.

Robert R. Franklin, Jr., Chairman, CEO and President of the Company said,“We are proud to present our third quarter financial results which continue to be indicative of the transition from a COVID dominated economy through most of the first half of the year to an improved economic environment as we enter the fourth quarter. We have seen credit stabilize, and continued growth in deposits which have provided the Bank with significant liquidity and opportunity. As we enter the fourth quarter, with the local economy continuing to improve, our customers are starting new projects and looking for new ways to expand their businesses.”

Mr. Franklin continued,“During much of 2020 and early 2021 we consciously curtailed our commercial real estate lending due to the uncertainty surrounding the sector and we are seeing the effects of slowing that engine as we rebuild our pipeline. Our lenders have made good efforts to increase our pipeline in a highly competitive environment. We have experienced an unusually high number of payoffs during the last couple of quarters but see the stabilization of our portfolio in the fourth quarter and foresee the ability to get back to our traditional growth rate in the next couple of quarters.”

“In light of the significant liquidity that our customers have provided us, we increased our bond purchases on a measured basis given that we continue to reside in a very low interest rate environment. We will continue to look at our expense base as we budget for 2022 and make adjustments where warranted,” Mr. Franklin added.

Mr. Franklin further said,“CBTX, Inc. is in a solid position for success with an experienced lending staff, liquidity to lend and significant capital to give us flexibility in supporting our future expansion decisions. Our strong, loyal and low-cost relationship driven deposit base continues to provide significant shareholder value. Our asset sensitivity gives us an upside as we transition to a higher interest rate environment possibly in late 2022. Our goal is to finish strong in the fourth quarter as we build momentum into 2022 and return to our traditional growth rate. We are excited about the future for CBTX, Inc.”

Highlights

  • Net income was $14.4 million for the third quarter of 2021, or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to $11.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021 and $6.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020.
  • Decrease in the allowance for credit losses, or ACL, resulted in a recapture of credit losses of $4.9 million during the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to continued improvements in the national and local economies and economic forecasts and the reduction of the loan portfolios during the third quarter of 2021.
  • Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased to 3.22% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 3.29% for the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower average balances for the loan portfolio.
  • Cash and equivalents increased $210.4 million to $998.8 million during the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to net deposit inflows and loan payments received.

Operating Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $31.2 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $31.0 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $31.7 million for the third quarter of 2020. Net interest income increased $231,000 during the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to an increase in income on interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions due to higher rates and higher average balances and an increase in income on securities due to higher average securities balances, higher rates on loans and the impact of an additional day during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2021. These increases were partially offset by lower average loans. The increase in loan yield during the third quarter of 2021 includes $2.3 million of net fees recognized on Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, loans in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $1.5 million recognized in the second quarter of 2021.

Net interest income decreased $459,000 during the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to lower average loans and higher average interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower rates on interest-bearing deposits and higher rates on loans.

The yield on interest-earning assets was 3.33% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 3.41% for the second quarter of 2021 and 3.75% for the third quarter of 2020. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.30% for the third quarter of 2021, 0.32% for the second quarter of 2021 and 0.46% for the third quarter of 2020. The Company's net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.22% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 3.29% for the second quarter of 2021 and 3.55% for the third quarter of 2020.

Provision (Recapture) for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was a recapture of credit losses of $4.9 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to a recapture of credit losses of $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 and a provision of credit losses of $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2020.

The recapture of credit losses for the third and second quarters of 2021 were primarily the result of the adjustment of certain qualitative factors used to determine the ACL due to the continued improvements in the national and local economies and economic forecasts.

The provision for credit losses of $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2020 resulted from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the sustained instability of the oil and gas industry, which led to the adjustment of certain factors utilized to determine the ACL.

At September 30, 2021, the ACL for loans was $32.2 million, or 1.23%, to loans excluding loans held for sale, $37.2 million, or 1.36%, to loans excluding loans held for sale, at June 30, 2021 and $44.1 million, or 1.49%, to loans excluding loans held for sale at September 30, 2020. The decrease in the ACL for loans at September 30, 2021 was primarily the result of the adjustment of certain qualitative factors utilized in the Company's ACL estimate due to the continued improvements in the national and local economies and economic forecasts. A decrease in the Company's loan portfolio also contributed to the decrease in the ACL during 2021.

The ACL for unfunded commitments was $3.6 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $3.4 million at June 30, 2021 and $4.5 million at September 30, 2020. The decrease in the ACL for unfunded commitments from June 30, 2021 to September 30, 2021 and from September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021 was primarily the result of the adjustment to certain qualitative factors due to the continued improvements in the national and local economies and economic forecasts as well as fluctuations in unfunded commitments.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2021, $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the second quarter of 2021 and an increase of $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020 were both primarily due to gains of $1.9 million and $769,000 during the third quarter of 2021 and 2020 related to bank-owned life insurance. As the owner and beneficiary under bank-owned insurance policies as the result of claims submitted on covered individuals, the Company received proceeds of $2.7 million and $2.0 million during the third quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2020, respectively.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $24.4 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $25.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $23.9 million for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in noninterest expense of $825,000 between the third quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to a $874,000 decrease in professional and director fees. Professional fees related to Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering, or BSA/AML, compliance matters decreased $1.2 million to $202,000 for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2021. This decrease in BSA/AML related professional fees during the third quarter of 2021 was partially offset by increases in consulting fees related to a loan review project.

The increase in noninterest expense of $514,000 for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, was primarily due to a $668,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $164,000 increase in occupancy expense, a $104,000 increase in data processing and software, and a $126,000 increase in security and protection expense, partially offset by a $879,000 decrease in professional and director fees. Professional fees related to BSA/AML compliance matters decreased $1.3 million to $202,000 for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2020.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2021, $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2020. The effective tax rates were 16.81% for the third quarter of 2021, 18.70% for the second quarter of 2021 and 17.31% for the third quarter of 2020. The differences between the federal statutory rate of 21% and the effective tax rates were largely attributable to permanent differences primarily related to tax exempt interest income and bank-owned life insurance earnings.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Loans

Loans excluding loans held for sale were $2.6 billion at September 30, 2021, $2.7 billion at June 30, 2021 and $3.0 billion at September 30, 2020. The decrease from June 30, 2021 to September 30, 2021 and the decrease from September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021 were both primarily due to larger loan paydowns than loan originations.

The decrease in loans was also impacted by the decrease in the Company's PPP loans which were $100.8 million, net of deferred fees and unearned discounts, at September 30, 2021, $179.1 million at June 30, 2021 and $324.3 million at September 30, 2020. During the third quarter of 2021, no PPP loans were originated and payments totaling $80.6 million were received. During the second quarter of 2021, $20.4 million of PPP loans were originated and payments totaling $110.4 million were received.

In support of customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company offered relief through payment deferrals during 2020 and the first nine months of 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 7 loans subject to such deferral arrangements with outstanding principal balances of $18.8 million and 9 loans on deferral arrangements with total outstanding principal balances of $20.5 million at June 30, 2021 and 41 loans on deferral arrangement with total outstanding principal balances totaling $82.4 million at September 30, 2020.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and equivalents increased $210.4 million from June 30, 2021 to September 30, 2021 and $621.2 million from September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2021. These increases are primarily due to loan payments received and net deposit inflows.

Securities

Securities were $359.5 million at September 30, 2021, $309.2 million at June 30, 2021 and $226.1 million at September 30, 2020. The increase in securities was primarily due to purchases out pacing maturities, call and paydowns.

Deposits and Borrowings

Total deposits were $3.5 billion at September 30, 2021, $3.4 billion at June 30, 2021 and $3.2 billion at September 30, 2020. The increase in deposits of $114.8 million between June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 was due to net deposit inflows of $43.5 million in interest-bearing accounts and net deposit inflows of $71.4 million in non-interest-bearing accounts. The increase in deposits of $361.0 million between September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021 was due to net deposit inflows of $193.8 million and $167.2 million in interest-bearing accounts and noninterest-bearing accounts, respectively.

The Company defines total borrowings as the total of repurchase agreements, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and notes payable. Total borrowings were $50.0 million, $50.0 million and $52.2 million at September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Capital

At September 30, 2021, the Company continued to be well capitalized and maintained strong capital ratios under bank regulatory requirements. The Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 18.12% at September 30, 2021, compared to 17.72% at June 30, 2021 and 16.67% at September 30, 2020. The Company's tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.69% at September 30, 2021, compared to 11.63% at June 30, 2021 and 11.90% at September 30, 2020. The Company's total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio was 13.41% at September 30, 2021, 13.68% at June 30, 2021 and 14.18% at September 30, 2020.

The ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets was 11.64% at September 30, 2021, 11.84% at June 30, 2021 and 12.22% at September 30, 2020. Tangible equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to tangible equity to tangible assets is total shareholders' equity to total assets.

Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation
(In thousands, except per share data and percentages)

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, we also evaluate our performance based on certain additional non-GAAP financial measures. We classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are not included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating, other statistical measures or ratios calculated using exclusively financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial 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 way we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures including“tangible book value,”“tangible book value per common share,” and“tangible equity to tangible assets,” which are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, GAAP.

We calculate tangible equity as total shareholders' equity, less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, and tangible book value per share as tangible equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the relevant period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per share.

We calculate tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible equity to tangible assets is total shareholders' equity to total assets.

We believe that tangible book value per share and tangible equity to tangible assets are measures that are important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in book value per share and total shareholders' equity to total assets, exclusive of change in intangible assets.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total shareholders' equity to tangible equity, total assets to tangible assets and presents book value per share, tangible book value per share, tangible equity to tangible assets and total shareholders' equity to total assets:
