Premier Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: PFC) (“Premier” or the “Company”) today announced 2021 third quarter results. Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $28.4 million, or $0.76 per diluted common share, compared to $25.7 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2020. The prior year’s results include the impact of $3.7 million of acquisition-related charges for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which had an after-tax cost of $2.9 million or $0.08 per diluted common share. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $100.7 million, or $2.70 per diluted common share, compared to $32.2 million, or $0.91 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The nine-month year-over-year comparison is substantially impacted by the acquisition of United Community Financial Corp. (“UCFC”) on January 31, 2020, with the prior year’s provision expense of $51.0 million that included $25.9 million related to acquisition accounting for an after-tax cost of $20.5 million, or $0.58 per diluted common share. The nine months of 2021 included a provision recovery of $9.1 million, which had an after-tax benefit of $7.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, and no acquisition impact. Additionally, the prior year’s nine-month results include the impact of $17.3 million of acquisition-related charges, which had an after-tax cost of $14.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share. Excluding the impact of the acquisition-related provision and charges, earnings for the first nine months of 2020 were $66.8 million, or $1.88 per diluted common share.

“We are very pleased to report our second consecutive quarter of strong loan growth at 5.1% annualized,” said Gary Small, President and CEO of Premier. “Core commercial, residential mortgage, and consumer each contributed over 4.4% for the period. Commercial and consumer new business pipelines are at their highest level for the year with businesses expressing labor constraints as more of a concern than supply chain challenges at this point. Household deposits remain elevated and consumer loan delinquency continues to track at all-time lows. Clients are well positioned as we head into the upcoming holiday season.”

Business client support efforts

As a part of the CARES Act, the Small Business Administration created the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) to provide small businesses with loans as a direct incentive to keep their workers on the payroll. Premier Bank actively participated in PPP for clients and made 2,880 loans for a total of $443.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. Total gross fees for these loans equaled $14.8 million. To date, Premier Bank has recognized $14.7 million as loan interest income, including $0.9 million and $8.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Additionally, a total of $433.3 million in loans have been extinguished to date, including $83.7 million and $376.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Beginning in January 2021, Premier Bank participated in the second round of PPP lending and made 2,231 loans for a total of $193.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Total gross fees for these loans were $7.8 million and Premier Bank has recognized $2.7 million and $3.2 million in loan interest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Additionally, a total of $59.6 million in loans have been extinguished to date, all during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Total PPP loans were $143.9 million at September 30, 2021.

Net interest income up compared to third quarter of 2020

Net interest income of $57.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 was up from $53.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase over the prior year’s third quarter was attributable to growth in interest-earning assets, PPP fees and a 23 basis point decrease in average costs of funds. Net interest margin was 3.38% for the third quarter of 2021, up from 3.34% in the second quarter of 2021, but down from 3.45% in the third quarter of 2020. Yield on interest earning assets increased to 3.61% in the third quarter of 2021, up 2 basis points from 3.59% in the second quarter of 2021. The improvement from second quarter to third quarter was primarily due to $64.4 million of non-PPP loan growth (5.1% annualized). Total cost of funds decreased 2 basis points in the third quarter of 2021 to 0.24% from the second quarter of 2021, while the total cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 4 basis points to 0.32%. The 2021 third quarter results include the impact of acquisition marks and related accretion for the UCFC acquisition. Interest income includes $0.6 million of accretion and interest expense includes $0.3 million of accretion, which combined added 5 basis points of net interest margin. The third quarter results also include the impact of PPP loans. Interest income includes $2.9 million on average balances of $219.4 million, which increased net interest margin by 6 basis points. Excluding the impact of acquisition marks and PPP loans, net interest margin would be 3.27% for the third quarter of 2021 compared to 3.20% for the second quarter of 2021 and 3.41% for the third quarter of 2020.

“Net interest margin stabilized during the quarter with 3.27% core margin reflecting a 7 basis point improvement versus second quarter,” said Small. “We made progress on all fronts during the quarter with lower cost of funds, lower cost of interest bearing deposits, and higher yields. While some additional improvement in funding costs may contribute to net interest margin growth in the near term, our loan portfolio growth and efficient management of the securities portfolio will drive our net interest income performance longer term.”

Non-interest income down from third quarter of 2020

Premier’s non-interest income in the third quarter of 2021 was $18.3 million compared with $25.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. Total mortgage banking income decreased to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. Mortgage gains decreased to $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2020 but increased from $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. Total mortgage loan production has been consistently strong compared to prior year, while gains have declined primarily due to compressed margins and less favorable marks on the in-process portfolio. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to the expected improvement in saleable mix. Mortgage loan servicing revenue of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2021 was consistent with $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2020. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights decreased to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. Premier also had a positive change in the valuation adjustment for mortgage servicing assets of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared with a negative adjustment of $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. This item closely follows the trend in USTN-10, which increased 7 basis points during the quarter to 1.52% at September 30, 2021.

For the third quarter of 2021, service fees and other charges were $6.1 million, up 26% from $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to higher ATM and interchange related fees. This was mostly offset by a combined $1.0 million decrease in wealth management, insurance commissions and other income. Securities gains were $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to a gain of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, which included $1.4 million from a transaction completed to offset a $1.4 million FHLB prepayment penalty in other expenses noted below. BOLI income increased $0.1 million from the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to a $20 million premium purchase during the third quarter of 2021.

“Residential mortgage fee income returned to more typical levels in the third quarter and brought our year to date performance in line with our expectations for the year,” said Small. “Mortgage origination activity remained strong for the quarter with a better mix of salable production.”

Core non-interest expenses up from third quarter of 2020

Total non-interest expense was $39.0 million in the third quarter of 2021, down from $43.6 million in the third quarter of 2020, but up from $38.4 million excluding $3.7 million of acquisition related charges and $1.4 million FHLB prepayment penalty. Compensation and benefits increased to $23.4 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $20.2 million in the third quarter of 2020. Occupancy expense was $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, down from $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. Data processing cost was $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2021, down from $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. Amortization of intangibles was $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, down from $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. Other non-interest expense was $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, down from $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2020, or down from $5.7 million excluding $1.4 million of prepayment penalties from the early extinguishment of $30 million of fixed rate FHLB advances that had a weighted average rate of 2.0%.

Credit quality

Non-performing assets totaled $60.1 million, or 0.81% of assets, at September 30, 2021, an increase from $41.3 million at June 30, 2021, and an increase from $48.3 million at September 30, 2020. The increase during the third quarter was primarily due to a single commercial credit relationship. Accruing troubled debt restructured loans were $6.5 million at September 30, 2021, compared with $8.5 million at September 30, 2020. Loan delinquencies increased to $11.2 million, or 0.2% of loans, at September 30, 2021, from $9.9 million at June 30, 2021, but decreased from $20.9 million at September 30, 2020.

The 2021 third quarter results include net loan recoveries of $0.3 million and a total provision expense of $1.8 million compared with net loan charge-offs of $3.3 million and a total provision expense of $2.8 million for the same period in 2020. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.39% at September 30, 2021, or 1.43% excluding PPP loans, compared with 1.33% at June 30, 2021, or 1.37% excluding PPP loans, and 1.63%, or 1.77% excluding PPP loans, at September 30, 2020. The continued economic improvement after the 2020 pandemic-related downturn led to the year-over-year decrease in the provision expense and allowance percentages. As of September 30, 2021, Premier Bank had no pandemic-related deferrals, down from one retail loan for $13,000 at June 30, 2021.

“The increase in provision expense and allowance percentages from the prior quarter was primarily due to the establishment of a specific reserve for a single non-performing commercial credit, partially offset by improvements in the remainder of the portfolio,” said Paul Nungester, CFO of Premier. “We are comfortable with an all-in reserve coverage level of 1.57% excluding PPP loans and including unamortized purchase accounting marks.”

Year to date results

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, net income totaled $100.7 million, or $2.70 per diluted common share, compared to $32.2 million, or $0.91 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Results for the 2020 period included eight months of income and expenses from UCFC compared to nine months in 2021. The year-over-year comparison is also substantially impacted by the prior year’s provision expense of $49.3 million, which included $25.9 million related to acquisition accounting for an after-tax cost of $20.5 million, or $0.58 per diluted common share. The 2021 period included a provision credit of $9.1 million, which had an after-tax benefit of $7.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, and no acquisition impact. Additionally, the prior year’s results include the impact of $17.3 million of acquisition-related charges, which had an after-tax cost of $14.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share. Excluding the impact of acquisition-related provision and charges, earnings for the first nine months of 2020 were $66.8 million, or $1.88 per diluted common share.

Net interest margin for the first nine months of 2021 was 3.39%, down 15 basis points from the 3.54% margin reported in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. Results include the impact of acquisition marks and related accretion for the UCFC acquisition. For the first nine months of 2021, interest income includes $3.2 million of accretion and interest expense includes $1.0 million of accretion, which combined added 9 basis points of net interest margin. The results in the first nine months of 2021 also include the impact of PPP loans.

Securities gains were $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2020. Approximately $2.2 million of the 2021 gain was related to the sale of securities where the Company took advantage of pricing to realize gains and reinvested in a mix of new securities that will generate the higher income over the next three years. The other $0.8 million was related to unrealized gains on our trading securities due to the improved market for these financial institution equities. BOLI income increased to $3.0 million in the first nine months of 2021, including $0.3 million of claim gains, compared to $2.5 million and no claim gains in the first nine months of 2020.

At September 30, 2021, gross loans receivable decreased $230.5 million from a year ago due to a $299.3 million decrease in PPP loans. Excluding PPP, loans grew $68.8 million organically, or 1.3% from a year ago. Commercial loans excluding PPP increased $88.2 million from September 30, 2020, to 2021, or 2.6%, despite a $23.3 million decrease in lines of credit.

The increase in stockholders’ equity from the prior year was primarily due to net earnings.

At September 30, 2021, 1,628,149 common shares remained available for repurchase under the Company’s existing authorization.

Non-GAAP Reporting Measures

We believe that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, we consider core net income and core pre-tax pre-provision income to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance. We define core net income as net income excluding the after-tax impact of acquisition related charges. We define core pre-tax pre-provision income as pre-tax pre-provision income excluding the pre-tax impact of acquisition related charges. We believe that these metrics are useful supplemental measures of operating performance because investors and equity analysts may use these measures to compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared to other financial institutions or other companies on a consistent basis without having to account for one-time acquisition related charges. Our supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Our management uses these financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to historical operating results and in making operating decisions. Additionally, they are utilized by the Board of Directors to evaluate management. The supplemental reporting measures do not represent net income or cash flow provided from operating activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or liquidity. Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other financial institutions or other companies. Please see the exhibits for reconciliations of our supplemental reporting measures.

Note: Year-to-date 2020 results include eight months of operations from UCFC compared to nine for comparable period in 2021.
(1) Interest on certain tax exempt loans and securities is not taxable for Federal income tax purposes. In order to compare the tax-exempt yields on these assets to taxable yields, the interest earned on these assets is adjusted to a pre-tax equivalent amount based on the marginal corporate federal income tax rate of 21%.
(2) Annualized.
(3) Securities yield = annualized interest income divided by the average balance of securities, excluding average unrealized gains/losses.
(4) Net interest margin is tax equivalent net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.

(2) Non-performing assets are non-performing loans plus real estate and other assets acquired by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof.
(3) Accruing restructured loans are loans with known credit problems that are not contractually past due and therefore are not included in non-performing loans.
