FS Bancorp, Inc. Reports Net Income for the Third Quarter of $8.5 Million or $1.08 Per Diluted Share and the Thirty-Ninth Consecutive Quarterly Dividend

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, Wash., Oct. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FS Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSBW) (the “Company”), the holding company for 1st Security Bank of Washington (the “Bank”) today reported 2022 third quarter net income of $8.5 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, compared to $8.3 million, or $0.98 per diluted share for the same quarter last year.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income was $22.0 million, or $2.73 per diluted share, compared to net income of $28.8 million, or $3.31 per diluted share, for the comparable nine-month period in 2021.

“Continued loan growth in the third quarter was a result of disciplined credit culture and a focus on hiring employees that understand 1st Security Bank’s commitment to relationships, risk management, and partnering with customers in our communities,” stated Joe Adams, CEO. “We are also pleased that our Board of Directors approved our thirty-ninth consecutive quarterly cash dividend. The quarterly dividend of $0.20 will be paid on November 23, 2022, to shareholders of record as of November 9, 2022.”

“Organic loan growth was partially funded by loan pool sales during the quarter which supplemented deposit growth,” noted Matthew Mullet, CFO.   “Net interest margin expansion was a result of loan growth and assets that have repriced faster than deposit liabilities.”

__________________________

(1) Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of liabilities to fund those assets. Interest earned includes actual interest earned on segment assets and, if the segment has excess liabilities, interest credits for providing funding to the other segment. The cost of liabilities includes interest expense on segment liabilities and, if the segment does not have enough liabilities to fund its assets, a funding charge based on the cost of assigned liabilities to fund segment assets.

(2) Provision for credit losses as calculated using the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) method adopted January 1, 2022, and provision for loan losses as calculated using the previous incurred loss method in 2021. The change in methodology reflects shifts in allocation between segments due to various changes, adjustments to qualitative factors, changes in loan balances, and charge-off and recovery activity.

(3) Noninterest income includes activity from certain residential mortgage loans that were initially originated for sale and measured at fair value; after origination, the loans were transferred to loans held for investment. Gains and losses from changes in fair value for these loans are reported in earnings as a component of noninterest income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded net decreases in fair value of $816,000 and $1.8 million, as compared to net decreases in fair value of $19,000 and $55,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. For loans originated as held for sale and transferred into loans held for investment, the fair value is determined based on quoted secondary market prices for similar loans. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $14.2 million and $16.1 million, respectively, in residential mortgage loans recorded at fair value as they were previously transferred from held for sale to loans held for investment.



Asset Summary

Total assets increased $252.9 million, or 10.5%, to $2.65 billion at September 30, 2022, compared to $2.40 billion at June 30, 2022, and increased $423.4 million, or 19.0%, from $2.23 billion at September 30, 2021.  The quarter over linked quarter increase in total assets was primarily due to increases in loans receivable, net of $137.9 million, total cash and cash equivalents of $131.1 million, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock of $7.3 million, and other assets of $3.6 million, partially offset by decreases in securities available-for-sale of $19.9 million and loans held for sale (“HFS”) of $11.5 million. The year over year increase was primarily due to increases in loans receivable, net of $405.9 million, cash and cash equivalents of $131.5 million, other assets of $8.8 million, FHLB stock of $8.7 million, and deferred tax asset, net of $6.3 million, partially offset by decreases in loans HFS of $94.7 million, securities available-for-sale of $40.9 million, and certificates of deposit (“CDs”) at other financial institutions of $6.8 million.

Loans receivable, net increased $137.9 million to $2.08 billion at September 30, 2022, from $1.95 billion at June 30, 2022, and increased $405.9 million from $1.68 billion at September 30, 2021. The quarter over linked quarter increase in total real estate loans was $104.2 million, including increases in one-to-four-family loans of $38.4 million, construction and development loans of $30.8 million, multi-family loans of $18.9 million, commercial real estate loans of $11.7 million and home equity loans of $4.4 million. Consumer loans increased $33.2 million, primarily due to an increase of $51.0 million in indirect home improvement loans, partially offset by a decrease of $17.7 million in marine loans, primarily due to the sale of $25.6 million of these loans (servicing released) in the third quarter. Commercial business loans increased $1.9 million, as a result of an increase of $7.7 million in commercial and industrial lending, partially offset by a decrease of $5.8 million in warehouse lending.

Originations of one-to-four-family loans to purchase and to refinance a home for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold $142.3 million of one-to-four-family loans compared to sales of $196.3 million during the previous quarter, and sales of $319.9 million during the same quarter one year ago. The decrease in purchase and refinance activity compared to the prior quarter reflects the impact of rising market interest rates.

The Company also sold $25.6 million of marine loans and $12.9 million of one-to-four-family portfolio loans during the third quarter with gains on sale of $358,000 and $238,000, respectively, to supplement liquidity.

Gross margins on home loan sales decreased to 2.85% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 3.10% in the previous quarter and decreased from 3.61% in the same quarter one year ago. Gross margins are defined as the margin on loans sold (cash sales) without the impact of deferred costs.

(1) Includes $1.2 million of brokered deposits at both September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and $60.0 million of brokered deposits at September 30, 2021.

(2) Includes $66.8 million, $78.8 million, and $5.0 million of brokered deposits at September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively.

(3) Includes $256.6 million, $180.3 million, and $135.5 million of brokered deposits at September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively.

(4) Prior presentation of interest-bearing checking balances was revised due to the misclassification of certain checking products in previous periods. As a result of the misclassification, interest-bearing checking balances of $113.9 million as of September 30, 2021, were reclassified to noninterest-bearing checking for comparative purposes. Balances as of the dates and average values included herein have been updated to reflect the reclassification.

At September 30, 2022, nonretail CDs, which include brokered CDs, online CDs, and public funds CDs, increased $76.6 million to $284.4 million, compared to $207.8 million at June 30, 2022, due to an increase of $76.3 million in brokered CDs. The year over year increase in nonretail CDs of $131.8 million from $152.6 million at September 30, 2021, was primarily the result of a $121.0 million increase in brokered CDs.   

At September 30, 2022, borrowings comprised of FHLB advances increased $182.8 million, or 234.3%, to $260.8 million from $78.0 million at June 30, 2022, and increased $218.3 million, or 513.3% from $42.5 million at September 30, 2021.

Total stockholders’ equity decreased $2.1 million, to $220.5 million at September 30, 2022, from $222.6 million at June 30, 2022, and decreased $19.9 million, from $240.5 million at September 30, 2021. The decrease in stockholders’ equity during the current quarter reflects net income of $8.5 million, partially offset by share repurchases totaling $2.2 million, and dividends paid of $1.5 million. In addition, stockholders’ equity was adversely impacted by increased unrealized losses in securities available-for-sale of $11.4 million, net of tax, reflecting increases in market interest rates during the quarter, partially offset by unrealized gains on fair value and cash flow hedges of $3.8 million, net of tax, resulting in a net $7.6 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. The Company repurchased 74,073 shares of its common stock at an average price of $30.22 per share. Book value per common share was $29.07 at September 30, 2022, compared to $29.27 at June 30, 2022, and $29.78 at September 30, 2021.

The Bank is well capitalized under the minimum capital requirements established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) with a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.7%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.5%, and a common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio of 12.5% at September 30, 2022.

The Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.0%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.8%, and a CET1 ratio of 10.6% at September 30, 2022.

Credit Quality

The allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACLL”) at September 30, 2022, increased to $26.4 million, or 1.25% of gross loans receivable, excluding loans HFS, compared to $25.0 million, or 1.27% of gross loans receivable, excluding loans HFS at June 30, 2022, and decreased from $26.9 million, or 1.58% of gross loans receivable, excluding loans HFS, at September 30, 2021. The quarter over quarter increase of $1.4 million in the ACLL was primarily due to the increase in loans and increased reserves on individually evaluated nonaccrual commercial business loans. The year over year decrease in the ACLL was primarily due to the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment of $2.9 million as of the CECL adoption date of January 1, 2022, partially offset by an increase of $2.4 million in the ACLL due to the growth in loans. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments decreased $305,000 to $3.1 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $3.4 million at June 30, 2022, and increased $2.6 million from $496,000 at September 30, 2021. The year over year increase was primarily due to the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment of $2.4 million as of the CECL adoption date and increases in unfunded loan commitments.

Nonperforming loans increased $1.6 million to $8.2 million at September 30, 2022, from $6.7 million at June 30, 2022, and increased $2.3 million from $5.9 million at September 30, 2021. The increase in nonperforming loans quarter over linked quarter and year over year was primarily due to an increase in nonperforming commercial business loans.

Loans classified as substandard increased $6.0 million to $16.6 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $10.6 million at June 30, 2022, and decreased $900,000 from $17.5 million at September 30, 2021. The quarter over linked quarter increase in substandard loans was attributable to increases of $3.6 million in commercial real estate loans and $2.3 million in commercial and industrial loans. The year over year decrease in substandard loans was primarily due to decreases of $1.8 million in commercial and industrial loans and $1.5 million in one-to-four-family loans, partially offset by an increase of $2.6 million in commercial real estate loans. There was one other real estate owned (“OREO”) property in the amount of $145,000 at September 30, 2022, and at June 30, 2022, compared to none at September 30, 2021.

At September 30, 2022, the Company had two commercial business loans totaling $3.8 million classified as troubled debt restructured (“TDRs”) loans, compared to none at June 30, 2022 and at September 30, 2021. These TDRs were nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Operating Results

Net interest income increased $4.9 million, to $27.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This comparable quarter over quarter increase was primarily the result of an improved mix of loans versus other interest-bearing assets and increased balances in higher yielding loans.   Interest income increased $6.3 million, primarily due to an increase of $6.0 million in interest income on loans receivable, including fees, impacted primarily by loan growth. Interest expense increased $1.4 million, primarily as a result of higher market interest rates and increased borrowings.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net interest income increased by $11.0 million, to $75.0 million, from $64.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 for the same reasons as for the three-month comparison described above, with an increase in interest income of $11.3 million and a slight increase in interest expense of $284,000.

NIM increased 31 basis points to 4.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from 4.23% for the same period in the prior year, and increased 28 basis points to 4.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from 4.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in NIM between both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflects new loan originations at higher market interest rates, variable rate interest-earning assets repricing higher following recent increases in market interest rates, and an improved asset mix of higher yielding assets as low yielding excess cash funded higher yielding loans.

The average total cost of funds, including noninterest-bearing checking, increased 20 basis points to 0.68% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from 0.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was predominantly due to the rise in cost for market rate deposits and an increase in higher cost borrowings. The average cost of funds decreased three basis points to 0.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from 0.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, partially due to runoff of higher cost retail CDs during the prior period, resulting in less interest expense this period. Management remains focused on matching deposit/liability duration with the duration of loans/assets where appropriate.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the provision for credit losses on loans was $2.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, compared to none and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as calculated under the prior incurred loss methodology. The provision for credit losses on loans reflects the increase in total loans receivable and increased reserves on individually evaluated nonaccrual commercial business loans.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the (benefit) provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was ($305,000) and $180,000, respectively, compared to provisions of $159,000 and $614,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, net charge-offs totaled $563,000, compared to $309,000 for the same period last year. The increase in net charge-offs was primarily due to a net charge-off increase of $373,000 in other consumer loans (which includes deposit overdraft net charge-offs of $396,000), partially offset by reductions in charge-offs of $99,000 in indirect home improvement loans and $19,000 in marine loans.   Net charge-offs totaled $843,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $747,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to a net charge-off increase of $325,000 in other consumer loans (which includes an increase in deposit overdraft net charge-offs of $333,000), partially offset by reductions in net charge-offs of $187,000 in indirect home improvement loans, $38,000 in commercial business loans, and $4,000 in marine loans.

Noninterest income decreased $4.2 million, to $4.2 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease from the same period last year primarily reflects a $5.5 million decrease in gain on sale of loans due to a reduction in origination and sales volume of loans HFS and a reduction in gross margins of sold loans, partially offset by increases of $825,000 in other noninterest income primarily from bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) death benefits and $438,000 in service charges and fee income as a result of less amortization of mortgage servicing rights reflecting increased market interest rates and increased servicing fees from non-portfolio serviced loans. Noninterest income decreased $15.2 million, to $14.4 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $29.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily the result of a $17.6 million decrease in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by increases of $1.3 million in service charges and fee income and $1.2 million in other noninterest income due primarily to the same reasons as for the three-month comparison described above.

Noninterest expense decreased $678,000, to $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in noninterest expense primarily reflects a reduction of $1.4 million in salaries and benefits, primarily due to a reduction in incentive compensation. Noninterest expense increased $2.1 million, to $57.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $55.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase as compared to the same period last year was primarily due to a reduction in the recovery of servicing rights to $1,000 from $2.1 million, along with increases of $544,000 in data processing, $313,000 in FDIC insurance, $233,000 in occupancy, and $223,000 in marketing and advertising, partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in salaries and benefits, primarily due to a reduction in incentive compensation and employee stock option plan expense.

As a result of the inclusion, earnings per share was understated for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Basic earnings per share for those periods was updated to $1.01 and $3.43, respectively, from $0.99 and $3.38 as previously reported. Diluted earnings per share was updated to $0.98 and $3.31, respectively, from $0.97 and $3.30 as previously reported.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States (“GAAP”), this earnings release contains tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated by excluding intangible assets from stockholders’ equity. For this financial measure, the Company’s intangible assets are goodwill and core deposit intangible. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure is consistent with the capital treatment utilized by the investment community, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and presents this measure to facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison to its competitors.

This non-GAAP financial measure has inherent limitations, is not required to be uniformly applied, and is not audited. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for book value per share or total stockholders' equity determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of the GAAP book value per share and non-GAAP tangible book value per share is presented below.
