MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ GS: HBNC) — Horizon Bancorp, Inc. (“Horizon” or the “Company”) announced its unaudited financial results for the three– and six–months ending June 30, 2022.

“We are extremely pleased with our performance during the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Record earnings and profitability can be attributed to strong loan growth and the higher interest rate environment which led to a meaningful increase in pre–tax, pre–provision net income,” Chairman and CEO Craig M. Dwight said. “This level of organic growth would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication from our team to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We remain committed to driving organic growth through our investments in commercial and consumer loan production, finding strategic opportunities to deploy capital, and leveraging our asset sensitive balance sheet and strong credit quality to achieve long–term shareholder value.”

Mr. Dwight continued, “Net interest margin continues to expand, illustrating the Company’s highly asset sensitive balance sheet position. Both the expected additional rate increases, and loan volume will continue to positively impact net interest income and NIM through 2022. Pressure on deposit pricing so far has been limited and we believe will remain in line with or better than our competitors. This expectation reflects our confidence in the strength of our commercial and retail relationships.”

“Our results this quarter were positively impacted by the significant progress towards achieving our goal of an annualized non–interest expense to average assets ratio of less than 2.00%. For the period ended June 30, 2022, our annualized non–interest expense to average assets ratio was 1.95%,” Mr. Dwight continued. “We remain disciplined with a focus on expense management which is critical given the economic uncertainty and rise in inflation, however; we are confident in our ability to continue to reduce our annualized target to less than 2.00%.”

Income Statement Highlights

Net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $24.9 million, or $0.57 diluted earnings per share, compared to $23.6 million, or $0.54, for the linked quarter and $22.2 million, or $0.50, for the prior year period. This represents the highest quarterly net income in the Company’s history.

Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $24.2 million, or $0.56 diluted earnings per share, compared to $23.6 million, or $0.54, for the linked quarter and $22.2 million, or $0.50, for the prior year period. Adjusted net income, which is not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is a measure that Horizon uses to provide a greater understanding of operating profitability. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Net Income” table below.)

The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2022 when compared to the first quarter of 2022 reflects an increase in net interest income of $4.8 million and a decrease in non–interest expense of $242,000. These items were offset by an increase in credit loss expense of $1.6 million and a decrease in non–interest income of $1.7 million and an increase in income tax expense of $436,000 for the second quarter of 2022 when compared to the first quarter of 2022.

Interest income includes the recognition of PPP loan interest and net loan processing fees totaling $198,000 in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $457,000 in the linked quarter. On June 30, 2022, the Company had $32,000 in net deferred PPP loan processing fees outstanding and $2.3 million in PPP loans outstanding. PPP loan net deferred fees and loans outstanding at March 31, 2021 were $141,000 and $6.7 million, respectively.

Second quarter 2022 income from the gain on sale of mortgage loans totaled $2.5 million, up from $2.0 million in the linked quarter and down from $5.6 million in the prior year period.

Certain revenue streams that generated higher income in the quarter ended June 30, 2021, were replaced in the most recent quarter with earning assets that had higher income margins and the increasing margin generated higher net interest income. For the quarter ending June 30, 2021, income from PPP lending, gain on sale of mortgage loans and mortgage servicing income net of impairment totaled $9.8 million. For the quarter ending June 30, 2022, the income from those same revenue streams totaled $3.0 million. The ability to replace this income and increase overall net income in the second quarter was attributed to the strategies management implemented to focus on higher earning assets.

Non–interest expense of $36.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 reflected a $371,000 decrease in net occupancy expenses and a $288,000 decrease in other expenses, offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefit expense of $222,000 and an increase in other losses of $194,000 from the linked quarter.

The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2022 when compared to the same prior year period reflects an increase in net interest income of $10.4 million, offset by an increase in credit loss expense of $1.7 million, a decrease in non–interest income of $2.8 million, an increase in non–interest expense of $3.0 million and an increase in income tax expense of $205,000.

Horizon’s net interest margin increased to 3.19% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2.99% for the first quarter of 2022.

The capital resources of the Company and the Bank exceeded regulatory capital ratios for “well capitalized” banks at June 30, 2022. Stockholders’ equity totaled $657.9 million at June 30, 2022 and the ratio of average stockholders’ equity to average assets was 9.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Tangible book value per common share (“TBVPS”) declined $0.43 in the first quarter of 2022 to $11.11 at period end, as unrealized net losses on securities available for sale (“AFS”) of $2.37 per common share reduced other comprehensive income (“OCI”) by $103.4 million in the first six months of this year. Fluctuations in the fair market value of AFS are widely expected to be recorded by banks in the first six months of 2022.

Use of Non–GAAP Financial Measures

Certain information set forth in this press release refers to financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we have included non–GAAP financial measures relating to net income, diluted earnings per share, net interest margin, tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per share, efficiency ratio, the return on average assets, the return on average equity and pre–tax, pre–provision net income. In each case, we have identified special circumstances that we consider to be non–recurring and have excluded them. We believe that this shows the impact of such events as acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments, among others we have identified in our reconciliations. Horizon believes these non–GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors and provide a greater understanding of our business and financial results without giving effect to the purchase accounting impacts and one–time costs of acquisitions and non–recurring items. These measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure. See the tables and other information below and contained elsewhere in this press release for reconciliations of the non–GAAP information identified herein and its most comparable GAAP measures.
