South Bend, Indiana--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2024) - 1st Source Corporation (NASDAQ: SRCE), parent company of 1st Source Bank, today reported quarterly net income of $34.94 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $36.79 million the previous quarter and up 6.07% from the $32.94 million reported in the third quarter a year ago. Year-to-date 2024 net income was $101.19 million, up 4.86% compared to $96.50 million during the first nine months of 2023. Diluted net income per common share for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.41, down 5.37% compared to $1.49 in the previous quarter and up 6.82%, versus $1.32 in the third quarter of 2023. Diluted net income per common share for the first nine months of 2024 was $4.09, up 5.68% compared to $3.87 a year earlier.

At its October 2024 meeting, the Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.36 cents per common share, up 12.50% from the cash dividend declared a year ago. The cash dividend is payable to shareholders of record on November 5, 2024, and will be paid on November 15, 2024.

Christopher J. Murphy III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our increase in revenue and net interest margin expansion compared to the previous quarter. Disciplined loan and lease pricing lead to a five basis point improvement from the prior quarter. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of margin expansion despite persistent deposit rate competition as the Federal Reserve raised rates or held them steady over that period. They have recently begun to lower rates.

"While still very good, credit was challenged in the quarter with elevated net charge-offs, the majority of which were from one business account. Nonperforming assets to loans and leases at September 30, 2024, was 0.47%, up from 0.31% at June 30, 2024, and the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases remained strong at 2.30% up from 2.26% the previous quarter.

"We were very pleased to learn during the third quarter that 1st Source Bank won several accolades. We made Forbes' America's Best-in-State Employers list, which was created by surveying more than 160,000 employees working for companies that had at least 500 employees in the United States. Also, 1st Source Bank's Specialty Finance Group was included in Monitor's Best Companies in Equipment Finance in the Leadership category. Great leadership was defined for this award to include attributes such as accessibility, transparency, communication, and collaboration - an apt description of our Bank leadership team.

"Another welcome honor was when two of our board members along with myself, were named to the Indiana 250 list by IBJ Media. Isaac Torres and Tracy Graham were both included in the list which identifies the state's most influential community and business leaders. We are thrilled to have both Isaac and Tracy's experience and leadership on our Board of Directors. Finally, we once again made the Piper Sandler Sm-All Stars list in the Class of 2024. This list identifies the top performing small-cap banks and thrifts in the U.S. These honors speak directly to our values and mission in the ways that we deliver both for our clients and colleagues - helping them achieve security, build wealth, and realize their dreams." Mr. Murphy concluded.

THIRD QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Loans

Third quarter average loans and leases were $6.61 billion, which was flat compared to the previous quarter, and increased $359.79 million, up 5.76% from the third quarter a year ago. Year-to-date average loans and leases increased $430.26 million to $6.57 billion, up 7.01% from the first nine months of 2023.

Deposits

Third quarter average deposits were $7.13 billion, which was down $49.25 million, or 0.69%, from the previous quarter, and up $184.32 million or 2.65% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Average deposits for the first nine months of 2024 were $7.11 billion, an increase of $190.13 million, up 2.75% from the same period a year ago. Average deposit balances declined from the previous quarter primarily due to expected seasonal public fund outflows and lower brokered deposit balances. Average deposit balance growth from the third quarter of 2023 was primarily in savings, time, and brokered deposits.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Third quarter 2024 tax-equivalent net interest income increased $1.44 million to $75.63 million, up 1.94% from the previous quarter and increased $6.22 million, up 8.97% from the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2024, tax equivalent net interest income increased $14.00 million to $221.89 million, up 6.73% from the first nine months of 2023.

Third quarter 2024 net interest margin was 3.63%, an increase of four basis points from the 3.59% in the previous quarter and an increase of 18 basis points from the same period in 2023. On a fully tax-equivalent basis, third quarter 2024 net interest margin was 3.64%, up five basis points compared to the 3.59% in the previous quarter, and an increase of 18 basis points from the same period in 2023. The five basis point increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to higher rates on loan balances and less reliance on higher costing short-term borrowings.

Net interest margin for the first nine months of 2024 was 3.58%, an increase of eight basis points compared to the first nine months of 2023. Net interest margin on a fully-tax equivalent basis for the first nine months of 2024 was 3.59%, an increase of eight basis points compared to the first nine months of the prior year.

Noninterest Income

Third quarter 2024 noninterest income of $22.45 million was down $0.77 million, or 3.33% from the previous quarter, and decreased $2.01 million, down 8.21% compared to the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2024, noninterest income was $67.83 million, a decrease of $2.72 million, down 3.86% from the same period a year ago.

The decrease in noninterest income compared to the previous quarter was mainly due to lower trust and wealth advisory income from seasonal tax preparation fees during the second quarter, a decline in mortgage banking income from lower sales volumes, a decrease in partnership investment gains, lower interest rate swaps fees, and a reduction in equipment rental income as demand for leases declined. These decreases were offset by increased bank owned life insurance policy claims recognized.

The decrease in noninterest income compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was primarily due to fewer gains on the sale of renewable energy tax equity investments, reduced equipment rental income as demand for leases declined, lower contingent insurance commissions received, a decline in bank owned life insurance policy claims recognized, and less interest rate swap fees. These declines were offset by higher trust and wealth advisory income due to improvements in overall market performance and increased mortgage banking income from higher sales volumes and margins.

Noninterest Expense

Third quarter 2024 noninterest expense of $49.44 million was flat compared to the prior quarter and decreased $0.72 million or 1.44% from the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2024, noninterest expense was $148.52 million, down slightly from the same period a year ago.

Total noninterest income was flat compared to the previous quarter. Increases were the result of higher employee benefit costs from increased group insurance claims and higher incentive compensation. These increases were offset by a decrease in the provision for unfunded loan commitments due to higher loan fundings and higher gains on the sale of fixed assets.

The decrease in noninterest expense compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, was the result of a decrease in the loan loss provision for unfunded commitments due to higher loan fundings, lower leased equipment depreciation, reduced group insurance claims, and higher gains on the sale of fixed assets. These decreases were offset by higher salaries and wages from normal merit increases, the impact of wage inflation and an increase in the number of employees filling prior open positions, increased data processing costs from technology projects, and an increase in professional fees as a result of a $1.08 million reversal of accrued legal fees during the first quarter of 2023.

Credit

The allowance for loan and lease losses increased to $152.32 million as of September 30, 2024, or 2.30% of total loans and leases. This percentage compared to 2.26% at June 30, 2024, and 2.27% at September 30, 2023. Net charge-offs of $0.85 million were recorded for the third quarter of 2024, compared with net recoveries of $1.99 million in the prior quarter and net charge-offs of $0.33 million in the same quarter a year ago. The majority of the third quarter's charge-offs related to one account in the commercial and agricultural portfolio.

The provision for credit losses was $3.11 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $3.05 million from the previous quarter and an increase of $2.25 million compared with the same period in 2023. Net charge-offs and higher special attention outstandings compared to net recoveries in the previous quarter were the primary reasons for the increase in the provision for credit losses during the quarter, along with a change in quantitative assumptions during the quarter regarding the treatment of renewals for loans in special attention. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and leases was 0.47% as of September 30, 2024, compared to 0.31% on June 30, 2024, and 0.27% on September 30, 2023.

Capital

As of September 30, 2024, the common equity-to-assets ratio was 12.60%, compared to 11.75% at June 30, 2024, and 10.84% a year ago. The tangible common equity-to-tangible assets ratio was 11.76% at September 30, 2024, compared to 10.91% at June 30, 2024, and 9.96% a year earlier. The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, calculated under banking regulatory guidelines, was 14.18% at September 30, 2024, compared to 13.74% at June 30, 2024, and 13.31% a year ago.
Capital accretion over the last twelve months has been driven primarily by growth in retained earnings and a reduction in unrealized losses in our short-duration investment securities available-for-sale portfolio.

No shares were repurchased for treasury during the third quarter of 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The accounting and reporting policies of 1st Source conform to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP performance measures are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company's performance. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a financial institution, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. These include taxable-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components), net interest margin (including its individual components), the efficiency ratio, tangible common equity-to-tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per common share. Management believes that these measures provide users of the Company's financial information a more meaningful view of the performance of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and of the Company's operating efficiency. Other financial holding companies may define or calculate these measures differently.

Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company and its banking subsidiaries on a fully taxable-equivalent ("FTE") basis. In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. Net interest income on a FTE basis is also used in the calculation of the Company's efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by total taxable-equivalent net revenue (less securities gains or losses and lease depreciation), measures how much it costs to produce one dollar of revenue. Securities gains or losses and lease depreciation are excluded from this calculation to better match revenue from daily operations to operational expenses. Management considers the tangible common equity-to-tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per common share as useful measurements of the Company's equity.
