Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation Reports Strong Fourth Quarter Results, as Net Interest Margin Continues to Expand

Bedminster, NJ - (NewMediaWire) - January 26, 2023 - Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: PGC) (the “Company”) announces its fourth quarter 2022 results. 

This earnings release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Q4 2022 Investor Update, a copy of which is available on our website at www.pgbank.com and via a current report on Form 8-K on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.  

The Company recorded total revenue of $64.85 million, net income of $20.58 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.12 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to revenue of $56.17 million, net income of $14.86 million and diluted EPS of $0.78 for the three months ended December 31, 2021. 

The Company’s return on average assets, return on average equity, and return on average tangible equity totaled 1.33%, 15.73% and 17.30%, respectively, for the December 2022 quarter, reflecting significant increases from the December 2021 quarterly levels.  

The December 2022 quarter results were driven by continued improvement in net interest income and net interest margin, which improved $10.8 million and 66 basis points, when compared to the December 2021 quarter (and $2.5 million and 14 basis points when compared to the September 2022 quarter). This increase was partially offset by a decline in noninterest income, principally wealth management fee income and capital markets activity fee income, due to volatility in the markets.

Douglas L. Kennedy, President and CEO said, “Our fourth quarter results represent a fitting end to a tremendous year for our Company. The consistent improvement of net interest income throughout the year reflects the asset sensitivity of our loan portfolio, as loans continued to reprice upward in the rising rate environment. For the 2022 fiscal year, net income grew 31% and earnings per share improved by 37%. I am extremely pleased with our financial performance and look forward to the year ahead as every member of our team continues to focus on delivering the highest levels of client service and enhancing our differentiated model."

The December 2022 quarter included the following items: 1) $28,000 positive fair value adjustment on an equity security held for CRA investment purposes; 2) $275,000 gain on sale of a property; 3) $25,000 income from life insurance proceeds; 4) $200,000 expense related to accelerated restricted stock vesting related to one employee; and 5) $563,000 income tax expense (net of Federal benefit) related to the first nine months of 2022 brought about by a recent New York City nexus determination change. These items increased total revenue by $328,000, reduced net income by $469,000 and EPS by $0.03, for the December 2022 quarter.

SUPPLEMENTAL QUARTERLY DETAILS:


Peapack Private Wealth Management 

AUM/AUA in the Bank’s Peapack Private Wealth Management (“PPWM”) Division totaled $10 billion at December 31, 2022.  For the December 2022 quarter, PPWM generated $12.98 million in fee income, compared to $12.94 million for the September 30, 2022 quarter and $13.96 million for the December 2021 quarter. The equity market generally improved during Q4 2022, while on a full year basis for 2022, the equity market declined nearly 20%.

John Babcock, President of Peapack Private Wealth Management noted, “Notwithstanding broad market forces that have negatively impacted both the equity and bond markets in 2022, and with economic challenges ahead, our business remains sound and we continue to attract new clients as well as additional funds from existing relationships.  In Q4 2022, total new accounts and client additions totaled $295 million ($236 million managed), which brings our 2022 total to $1 billion ($741 million managed).  As we enter 2023, our new business pipeline is healthy and we remain focused on delivering excellent service and advice to our clients as well as continuing to integrate and advance our internal operating and technology infrastructure. Our highly skilled professionals, our fiduciary powers and expertise, our financial planning capabilities and our high-touch client service model distinguishes PPWM in our market and are the drivers behind our continued growth and success.”  

Loans / Commercial Banking 

Total loans were $5.30 billion at December 31, 2022, reflecting growth of $112 million (2.2% linked quarter or 8.7% annualized) when compared to $5.19 billion at September 30, 2022, and growth of $457 million (9.4%) when compared to $4.84 billion at December 31, 2021.

Total C&I loans and leases at December 31, 2022 were $2.21 billion or 42% of the total loan portfolio. 

Mr. Kennedy noted, “Our loan growth has historically been strong, however, given economic uncertainty and rising interest rates, we believe loan demand will subside somewhat as we look ahead to 2023. Further, we have tightened our initial underwriting given the higher rate environment and in anticipation of a potential economic downturn. Given that, we believe we will achieve modest loan growth in 2023, resulting in mid-single digit loan growth for the coming year.”

Mr. Kennedy also noted, “We are proud to have built a leading middle market commercial banking franchise, as evidenced by our C&I Portfolio, Treasury Management services, and Corporate Advisory and SBA businesses.  Additionally, we are encouraged by the expansion into the Life Insurance Premium Finance business and believe it will prove to be a safe and profitable business line that aligns with the Company's strategy.” 

Net Interest Income (NII)/Net Interest Margin (NIM)

 

The Company’s NII of $48.0 million and NIM of 3.12% for Q4 2022 increased $2.5 million and 14 basis points from NII of $45.5 million and NIM of 2.98%, for the linked quarter (Q3 2022) and increased $10.8 million and 66 basis points from NII of $37.2 million and NIM of 2.46% for the prior year quarter (Q4 2021). When comparing Q4 2022 to Q4 2021, the Bank benefitted from the increases in LIBOR and the Prime rate during 2022. Additionally, the Bank grew its loan portfolio at rates/spreads beneficial to NIM, while reducing lower-yielding liquidity.

Funding / Liquidity / Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company actively manages its deposit base to reduce reliance on wholesale funding, volatility, and/or operational risk.  Total deposits decreased $61 million to $5.21 billion at December 31, 2022 from $5.27 billion at December 31, 2021. The deposit outflows for the quarter and year included large relationships strategically utilizing their funds, including investing into our Wealth Management business, acquisitions, further investing in their business, and purchasing real estate and other investments. As noted previously, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company successfully migrated $287 million of interest-bearing checking into noninterest-bearing demand deposits.  

Mr. Kennedy noted, “92% of our deposits are demand, savings, or money market accounts, and our noninterest bearing deposits comprise 24% of our total deposits; both metrics reflect the core nature of our deposit base.”

At December 31, 2022, the Company’s balance sheet liquidity (investments available for sale, interest-earning deposits and cash) totaled $788.4 million (or 12% of assets). 

The Company maintains backup liquidity of approximately $1.5 billion of secured available funding with the Federal Home Loan Bank and $1.8 billion of secured funding from the Federal Reserve Discount Window.  The available funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve are secured by the Company’s loan and investment portfolios.

Income from Capital Markets Activities 

Noninterest income from Capital Markets activities (detailed below) totaled $950,000 for the December 2022 quarter compared to $784,000 for the September 2022 quarter and $3.52 million for the December 2021 quarter. The December 2021 quarter results were driven by $2.18 million in Corporate Advisory income.

Q4 2022 included $732,000 of unused line fees compared to $818,000 for Q3 2022 and $179,000 for Q4 2021. Q4 2022 included a gain on sale of property of $275,000. Additionally, Q4 2022 included $294,000 of income recorded by the Equipment Finance Division related to equipment transfers to lessees while Q3 2022 included $547,000 of such income.

The Company’s total operating expenses were $33.41 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $33.56 million for the September 2022 quarter and $31.70 million for the December 2021 quarter. The 2022 quarters included increased costs related to employee health insurance and corporate insurance, as well as normal annual merit increases and year-end bonuses. The December 2021 quarter included $893,000 related to a swap valuation allowance. 

Mr. Kennedy noted, “While we continue to manage expenses closely and prudently, we have and will continue to invest in our existing team as the market demands in order to retain the talent we have acquired. We will also grow and expand our core wealth management and commercial banking businesses, including strategic hires and lift-outs, and invest in digital and other enhancements to further enhance the client experience.”

Income Taxes


The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was 30.26%, as compared to 27.47% for the September 2022 quarter and 28.31% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.  The three months ended December 31, 2022 includes $750,000 of income tax expense (net of Federal benefit) related to the recent approval of legislation that changed the nexus standard for New York City business tax.  ($563,000 of that amount related to the first nine months of 2022).


Asset Quality / Provision for Credit Losses

Nonperforming assets (which does not include troubled debt restructured loans that are performing in accordance with their terms) were $19.1 million, or 0.30% of total assets at December 31, 2022.  Loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing were $7.6 million, which included a $4.5 million outstanding loan to US governmental entities.  

Criticized and classified loans totaled $107.8 million at December 31, 2022, reflecting declines from both December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022 levels. The Company currently has no loans or leases on deferral and accruing.  

On January 1, 2022, the Company implemented Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology for calculating the Company’s Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”). The day one CECL adjustment totaled $5.5 million which resulted in a reduction to the December 31, 2021 ACL, and benefit to Capital, net of tax effect. 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s provision for credit losses was $1.9 million compared to $599,000 for the September 2022 quarter and $3.8 million for the December 2021 quarter. The provision for credit losses in the December 2022 quarter was driven principally by loan growth.  

At December 31, 2022, the ACL was $60.83 million (1.15% of total loans), compared to $59.68 million (1.15% of loans) at September 30, 2022. The ALLL at December 31, 2021 (before adoption of CECL) was $61.70 million (1.27% of loans).  

Capital 

The Company’s capital position during the December 2022 quarter was benefitted by net income of $20.58 million which was partially offset by the repurchase of 140,700 shares through the Company’s stock repurchase program at a total cost of $5.2 million and the quarterly dividend of $896,000. 

Mr. Kennedy noted, “Our tangible book value per share improved during Q4 2022 to $27.26 at December 31, 2022 from $26.10 at September 30, 2022.” 

The Company’s and Bank’s regulatory capital ratios as of December 31, 2022 remain strong, and generally reflect increases from September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 levels. Where applicable, such ratios remain well above regulatory well capitalized standards.

The Company employs quarterly capital stress testing – adverse case and severely adverse case. In the most recent completed stress test (as of September 30, 2022), under the severely adverse case, and no growth scenario, the Bank remains well capitalized over a two-year stress period. With an additional stress overlay (impacting the industries most affected by the Pandemic more severely), the Bank still remains well capitalized over the two-year stress period. 

On January 26, 2023, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on February 23, 2023 to shareholders of record on February 9, 2023.

(A) Equity to total assets is calculated as total shareholders’ equity as a percentage of total assets at quarter end.
(B) Tangible equity and tangible assets are calculated by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively. Tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at quarter end is calculated by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at quarter end.  See Non-GAAP financial measures reconciliation included in these tables.
(C) Book value per common share is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity by quarter end common shares outstanding.
(D) Tangible book value per share excludes intangible assets.  Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible equity by quarter end common shares outstanding.  See Non-GAAP financial measures reconciliation tables.
(E) Regulatory well capitalized standard (including capital conservation buffer) = 4.00% ($251 million)

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION

Tangible book value per share and tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts.  We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively.  We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing shareholders’ equity by common shares outstanding at period end.  We calculate tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end.  We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to recurring revenue.  We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses, excluding other real estate owned provision, as determined under GAAP, by net interest income and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains/(losses) on loans held for sale at lower of cost or fair value and excluding net gains on securities from this calculation, which we refer to below as recurring revenue.  We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of core expenses relative to core revenue.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios because our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures.  However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures.  As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titles measures reported by other companies.  A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity, tangible book value per share and efficiency ratio to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
