    TYLER, Texas, July 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Southside Bancshares, Inc. (“Southside” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SBSI) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Southside reported net income of $25.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $4.1 million, or 19.2%, compared to $21.3 million for the same period in 2021. Earnings per diluted common share increased $0.14, or 21.5%, to $0.79 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $0.65 for the same period in 2021. The annualized return on average shareholders’ equity for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 13.33%, compared to 9.73% for the same period in 2021.  The annualized return on average assets was 1.42% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 1.20% for the same period in 2021.

    “Excellent second quarter financial results for 2022 were highlighted by net income of $25.4 million, earnings per diluted common share of $0.79, annualized linked quarter loan growth of 18%, net of PPP loans, an eight basis point increase in our net interest margin, continued strong asset quality metrics and an efficiency ratio of 47.74%,” stated Lee R. Gibson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southside. “The economic conditions and growth prospects for the markets we serve, even against the headwinds of inflation, continue to reflect a solid and positive overall outlook. Increasing interest rates and rising building costs have taken some of the steam out of the highly robust single family housing market, however there continues to be a shortage of housing in several Texas markets. Loan growth during the first half of the year has been extremely strong. Some of the second quarter loan growth may have a short duration and we anticipate modestly higher loan pay-offs in the second half of this year when compared to the first half. As a result we anticipate loan growth in the second half of the year will slow from the levels we experienced during the first half of the year.”

    Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

    Net income was $25.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $21.3 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $4.1 million, or 19.2%. Earnings per diluted common share were $0.79 and $0.65 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in net income was primarily a result of an increase in interest income and a reversal of provision for credit losses, partially offset by net losses on sales of securities available for sale (“AFS”). For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we reversed $0.6 million of provision for credit losses compared to a provision for credit losses of $1.7 million for the same period in 2021. Annualized returns on average assets and average shareholders’ equity for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were 1.42% and 13.33%, respectively, compared to 1.20% and 9.73%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021.  Our efficiency ratio and tax equivalent efficiency ratio(1) were 50.61% and 47.74%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 53.09% and 50.31%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 50.71% and 48.15%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

    Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $51.1 million, compared to $45.6 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of 11.9%. The increase in net interest income compared to the same period in 2021 was due to the increase in interest income, a result of the increase in the yield and the average balance of interest earning assets, and a decrease in interest expense on our interest bearing liabilities due to the change in the mix of our interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in the interest income from PPP loans. Linked quarter, net interest income increased $2.2 million, or 4.4%, compared to $48.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in the average balance and yield on our loans.

    Our net interest margin and tax equivalent net interest margin(1) increased to 3.07% and 3.30%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 2.86% and 3.06%, respectively, for the same period in 2021. Linked quarter, net interest margin increased four basis points from 3.03% and tax equivalent net interest margin(1) increased eight basis points from 3.22% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

    Noninterest income was $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 16.8%, compared to $10.9 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was due to a net loss on sale of securities AFS of $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net gain of $15,000 for the same period in 2021 and a decrease in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by increases in other noninterest income and brokerage services income. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income decreased $1.6 million, or 15.2%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was due to a decrease in other noninterest income and additional net losses on sale of securities AFS.

    Noninterest expense increased $1.4 million, or 4.6%, to $32.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $30.7 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily the result of increases in other noninterest expense, salaries and employee benefits, software and data processing expense and advertising, travel and entertainment expense. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense increased $0.9 million, or 2.9%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

    Income tax expense increased $0.4 million, or 14.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. On a linked quarter basis, income tax expense increased $0.2 million, or 4.8%. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) decreased to 11.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 11.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and increased from 11.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

    Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

    Net income was $50.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $55.4 million for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 9.0%. Earnings per diluted common share were $1.56 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.69 for the same period in 2021, a decrease of 7.7%. The decrease in net income was largely driven by a decrease in the reversals of provision for credit losses and the net losses on the sale of securities AFS, partially offset by the increase in net interest income. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we reversed $0.3 million of provision for credit losses compared to a reversal of provision for credit losses of $8.5 million for the same period in 2021. Annualized returns on average assets and average shareholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were 1.41% and 12.31%, respectively, compared to 1.59% and 12.75%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.  Our efficiency ratio and tax equivalent efficiency ratio(1) were 50.66% and 47.94%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 53.05% and 50.38%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

    Net interest income was $100.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $92.0 million for the same period in 2021, due to the increase in interest income, a result of the increase in the average balance of investment securities and loans, and the decrease in interest expense on our interest bearing liabilities due to the change in the mix of our interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in the interest income from PPP loans.

    Our net interest margin and tax equivalent net interest margin(1) were 3.05% and 3.26%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 2.93% and 3.13%, respectively, for the same period in 2021. The increase in net interest margin was due to lower average rates on our interest bearing liabilities and higher average balances on our interest earning assets during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

    Noninterest income was $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 19.3%, compared to $24.6 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was due to the net loss on sale of securities AFS of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net gain of $2.0 million for the same period in 2021 and a decrease in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by increases in other noninterest income, deposit services income and brokerage services income.

    Noninterest expense was $63.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $61.9 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $1.4 million, or 2.2%. The increase was the result of increases in software and data processing expense, advertising, travel and entertainment expense, salaries and employee benefits, partially offset by a decrease in the amortization of intangibles.

    Income tax expense decreased $1.2 million, or 15.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Our ETR was approximately 11.3% and 12.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The lower ETR for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to an increase in tax-exempt income as a percentage of pre-tax income.

    Balance Sheet Data

    At June 30, 2022, we had $7.61 billion in total assets, compared to $7.26 billion at December 31, 2021 and $7.18 billion at June 30, 2021.

    Loans at June 30, 2022 were $3.96 billion, an increase of $320.7 million, or 8.8%, compared to $3.64 billion at June 30, 2021. Our PPP loans, a component of the commercial loan category, decreased $129.1 million over that period due to forgiveness payments received for loans funded under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. Excluding PPP loans, total loans increased $449.8 million, or 12.8%, due to increases of $403.8 million in commercial real estate loans, $60.6 million in commercial loans (excluding PPP loans) and $39.8 million in municipal loans. The increases were partially offset by decreases of $37.7 million in 1-4 family residential loans, $9.1 million in loans to individuals and $7.6 million in construction loans. Excluding a $10.9 million decrease in PPP loans during the quarter, linked quarter loans increased $173.0 million, or 4.6%, due to increases of $112.1 million in commercial real estate loans, $38.7 million in commercial loans (excluding PPP loans), $30.3 million in construction loans and $2.1 million in municipal loans. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $7.1 million in 1-4 family residential loans and $3.1 million in loans to individuals.      

    Securities at June 30, 2022 were $2.82 billion, a decrease of $43.9 million, or 1.5%, compared to $2.86 billion at June 30, 2021. Linked quarter, securities increased $276.7 million, or 10.9%, from $2.54 billion at March 31, 2022, a result of purchases during the quarter that more than offset the sales of securities, principal payments and increase in the unrealized losses in the portfolio. During the second quarter, we transferred additional municipal securities, corporate bonds and U.S. Agency MBS with fair values of approximately $489.1 million, $95.3 million and $28.3 million, respectively, to held to maturity (“HTM”). All transfers from AFS to HTM were at the fair market value on the date of transfer. There was no impact to the income statement as a result of these transfers.

    Deposits at June 30, 2022 were $6.25 billion, an increase of $1.09 billion, or 21.2%, compared to $5.16 billion at June 30, 2021. Linked quarter, deposits increased $178.0 million, or 2.9%, from $6.07 billion at March 31, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, brokered deposits decreased $15.9 million, or 2.4%, compared to March 31, 2022, and increased $602.2 million, or 1,047.8%, compared to June 30, 2021, associated with funding our cash flow hedge swaps in place of the Federal Home Loan Bank advances to obtain lower cost funding.

    On March 1, 2022, our board of directors approved a Stock Repurchase Plan, authorizing the repurchase, from time to time, of up to 1.0 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be carried out in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to any trading plan that might be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Company has no obligation to repurchase any shares under the Stock Repurchase Plan and may suspend or discontinue the plan at any time. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, we purchased 223,901 shares of common stock at an average price of $39.49 pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Plan. Subsequent to June 30, 2022 and through July 21, 2022, we purchased 8,613 shares of common stock at an average price of $35.93 pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Plan.

    Asset Quality

    Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2022 were $11.8 million, or 0.16% of total assets, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 22.6%, compared to $15.3 million, or 0.21% of total assets, at June 30, 2021, and an increase from $11.5 million, or 0.16% of total assets, at March 31, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, nonaccrual loans increased $0.8 million, or 32.3%, partially offset by a decrease in troubled debt restructured loans of $0.5 million, or 5.8%.

    The allowance for loan losses decreased to $35.4 million, or 0.89% of total loans, at June 30, 2022, compared to $42.9 million, or 1.18% of total loans, at June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to an improved economic forecast and improved asset quality, offset slightly by continued economic uncertainty related to inflation and recessionary concerns.   The allowance for loan losses was $35.5 million, or 0.93% of total loans, at March 31, 2022.

    We recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses for loans of $0.1 million and a provision of $1.5 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, compared to a provision of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net recoveries were $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net charge-offs of $61,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net recoveries were $22,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net charge-offs of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

    We recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposures of $0.5 million and a provision of $0.2 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, compared to a provision of $28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded reversals of provision of $0.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The balance of the allowance for off-balance-sheet credit exposures at June 30, 2022 was $1.9 million and is included in other liabilities.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of our performance. These include the following fully taxable-equivalent measures (“FTE”): (i) Net interest income (FTE), (ii) net interest margin (FTE), (iii) net interest spread (FTE), and (iv) efficiency ratio (FTE), which include the effects of taxable-equivalent adjustments using a federal income tax rate of 21% to increase tax-exempt interest income to a tax-equivalent basis. Interest income earned on certain assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments.

    Net interest income (FTE), net interest margin (FTE) and net interest spread (FTE). Net interest income (FTE) is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments and is not permitted under GAAP in the consolidated statements of income. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and that it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest income. Net interest margin (FTE) is the ratio of net interest income (FTE) to average earning assets. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest margin. Net interest spread (FTE) is the difference in the average yield on average earning assets on a tax-equivalent basis and the average rate paid on average interest bearing liabilities. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest spread.

    Efficiency ratio (FTE).  The efficiency ratio (FTE) is a non-GAAP measure that provides a measure of productivity in the banking industry. This ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. The ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing noninterest expense, excluding amortization expense on intangibles and certain nonrecurring expense by the sum of net interest income (FTE) and noninterest income, excluding net gain (loss) on sale of securities available for sale and certain nonrecurring impairments. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our efficiency ratio.

    These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP-basis financial statements and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently. Whenever we present a non-GAAP financial measure in an SEC filing, we are also required to present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and reconcile the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure and such comparable GAAP measure.

    Management believes adjusting net interest income, net interest margin and net interest spread to a fully taxable-equivalent basis is a standard practice in the banking industry as these measures provide useful information to make peer comparisons. Tax-equivalent adjustments are reflected in the respective earning asset categories as listed in the “Average Balances with Average Yields and Rates” tables.

    A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
