Southern Missouri Bancorp Reports Preliminary Results for Second Quarter of Fiscal 2023; Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.21 Per Common Share; Conference Call Scheduled for Tuesday, January 31, at 9:30am Central Time
Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Jan. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) (NASDAQ: SMBC), the parent corporation of Southern Bank (“Bank”), today announced preliminary net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 of $11.7 million, a decrease of $321,000, or 2.7%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was attributable to increases in noninterest expense and provision for credit losses, partially offset by increases in net interest income and noninterest income, and a decrease in provision for income taxes. Preliminary net income was $1.26 per fully diluted common share for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, a decrease of $.09 as compared to the $1.35 per fully diluted common share reported for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Highlights for the second quarter of fiscal 2023:
- Earnings per common share (diluted) were $1.26, down $.09, or 6.7%, as compared to the same quarter a year ago, and up $0.22, or 21.2% from the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter.
- Annualized return on average assets was 1.35%, while annualized return on average common equity was 14.2%, as compared to 1.69% and 16.1%, respectively, in the same quarter a year ago, and 1.16% and 11.7%, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter.
- Net interest margin for the quarter was 3.45%, as compared to 3.77% reported for the year ago period, and 3.65% reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter. Net interest income increased $3.2 million, or 12.7% compared to the same quarter a year ago, and decreased $257,000 from the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter.
- The provision for credit losses (“PCL”) was $1.1 million in the quarter, as compared to no PCL in the same period of the prior fiscal year, and a decrease of $3.9 million as compared to a PCL charge of $5.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter. The decreased level of the provision as compared to the linked quarter was attributable to reduced loan growth.
- Noninterest income was up 3.2% for the quarter, as compared to the year ago period, and down 1.1% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter.
- Noninterest expense was up 17.0% for the quarter, as compared to the year ago period, and up 4.2% from the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter. In the current quarter, charges attributable to merger and acquisition activity accounted for most of the increase as compared to the linked quarter, totaling $608,000 as compared to $169,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter.
- Nonperforming assets were $6.6 million, or 0.19% of total assets, at December 31, 2022, as compared to $4.8 million, or 0.16% of total assets, at December 31, 2021, and $6.3 million, or 0.20% of total assets, at June 30, 2022.
- Gross loan balances as of December 31, 2022, increased by $18.4 million as compared to September 30, 2022, and by $603.9 million as compared December 31, 2021. The merger with Fortune Financial Corporation (“Fortune”), completed in February 2022, contributed $201 million to loan growth over the trailing twelve-month period. Deposit balances increased by $154.8 million as compared to September 30, 2022, and by $453.5 million as compared to December 31, 2021. The Fortune merger contributed $218.3 million to deposit growth over the trailing twelve-month period.

Balance Sheet Summary:
The Company experienced balance sheet growth in the first six months of fiscal 2023, with total assets of $3.5 billion at December 31, 2022, reflecting an increase of $235.8 million, or 7.3%, as compared to June 30, 2022. Growth primarily reflected an increase in net loans receivable, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash equivalents and time deposits were a combined $55.1 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $36.4 million, or 39.8%, as compared to June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily a result of loan growth outpacing deposit growth during the period. AFS securities were $231.4 million at December 31, 2022, down $4.0 million, or 1.7%, as compared to June 30, 2022.
Loans, net of the allowance for credit losses (ACL), were $3.0 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $271.3 million, or 10.1%, as compared to June 30, 2022. Gross loans increased by $275.6 million, while the ACL attributable to outstanding loan balances increased $4.3 million, or 12.9%, as compared to June 30, 2022. The increase in loan balances was attributable to growth in residential and commercial real estate loans, drawn construction loan balances, commercial loans, and a modest contribution from consumer loans. Residential real estate loan balances increased primarily due to growth in multi-family loans. Commercial real estate balances increased primarily from an increase in loans secured by nonresidential structures, along with modest growth in loans secured by farmland. Construction loan balances increased due primarily to draws on nonowner-occupied nonresidential real estate and multifamily residential real estate construction loans. The increase in commercial loans was attributable to agricultural and commercial and industrial loans. Total remaining PPP balances at December 31, 2022, were $888,000, while unrecognized deferred fee income on these loans was immaterial.
Loans anticipated to fund in the next 90 days totaled $121.6 million at December 31, 2022, as compared to $229.6 million at September 30, 2022, and $158.2 million at December 31, 2021.
Nonperforming loans (“NPLs”) were $4.8 million, or 0.16% of gross loans, at December 31, 2022, as compared to $4.1 million, or 0.15% of gross loans at June 30, 2022. Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) were $6.6 million, or 0.19% of total assets, at December 31, 2022, as compared to $6.3 million, or 0.20% of total assets, at June 30, 2022. The increase in NPAs was attributable to the increase in NPLs, which were, in turn, due primarily to an increase in residential real estate and commercial NPLs, partially offset by a decrease in commercial real estate NPLs .
Our ACL at December 31, 2022, totaled $37.5 million, representing 1.25% of gross loans and 783% of nonperforming loans, as compared to an ACL of $33.2 million, representing 1.22% of gross loans and 806% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2022. The Company has estimated its expected credit losses as of December 31, 2022, under ASC 326-20, and management believes the ACL as of that date is adequate based on that estimate. There remains, however, significant uncertainty as economic activity recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Federal Reserve withdraws accommodative monetary policy that was put into effect to respond to the pandemic and its economic impact. Management continues to closely monitor borrowers most affected by mitigation efforts, most notably including our borrowers in the hotel industry.
Total liabilities were $3.1 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $219.6 million, or 7.6%, as compared to June 30, 2022.
Deposits were $3.0 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $190.7 million, or 6.8%, as compared to June 30, 2022. The deposit portfolio saw fiscal year-to-date increases in certificates of deposit, interest-bearing transaction accounts, money market deposit accounts, and noninterest bearing transaction accounts, partially offset by decreases savings accounts. CD growth was attributable in large part to the use of brokered CDs to fund asset growth, accounting for $89.3 million of the total $139.9 million growth in CD balances. Public unit balances totaled $521 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $47.9 million compared to June 30, 2022, and as compared to $417.8 million at December 31, 2021. The average loan-to-deposit ratio for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 103.1%, as compared to 93.6% for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
FHLB advances were $61.5 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $23.5 million, or 62.0%, as compared to June 30, 2022, as the Company’s loan growth outpaced deposit growth. The increase in FHLB advances was inclusive of $28.5 million in overnight borrowings, reflecting recent loan demand, and was down from $190.0 million borrowed overnight at September 30, 2022, as the Company utilized brokered CD funding in the current quarter to reduce its overnight position.
The Company’s stockholders’ equity was $337.0 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $16.2 million, or 5.1%, as compared to June 30, 2022. The increase was attributable primarily to earnings retained after cash dividends paid, partially offset by a $1.3 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income as the market value of the Company’s investments declined due to increases in market interest rates.
Quarterly Income Statement Summary:
The Company’s net interest income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, was $28.3 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 12.7%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable to a 23.2% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin to 3.45% in the current three-month period, from 3.77% in the same period a year ago. As PPP loan forgiveness declined, the Company’s accretion of interest income from deferred origination fees on these loans was reduced to $35,000 in the current quarter, which impacted net interest margin by less than one basis point, as compared to $890,000 in the same quarter a year ago, which added 13 basis points to the net interest margin in that period. In the linked quarter, ended September 30, 2022, accelerated recognition of deferred PPP origination fees totaled $37,000, adding less than one basis point to the net interest margin. Future accretion of deferred origination fees on PPP loans will be immaterial.
Loan discount accretion and deposit premium amortization related to the Company’s August 2014 acquisition of Peoples Bank of the Ozarks, the June 2017 acquisition of Capaha Bank, the February 2018 acquisition of Southern Missouri Bank of Marshfield, the November 2018 acquisition of First Commercial Bank, the May 2020 acquisition of Central Federal Savings & Loan Association, and the February 2022 merger of Fortune with the Company resulted in $493,000 in net interest income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $381,000 in net interest income for the same period a year ago. Combined, this component of net interest income contributed six basis points to net interest margin in the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, unchanged from the same period of the prior fiscal year, and as compared to a seven basis point contribution in the linked quarter, ended September 30, 2022, when net interest margin was 3.65%.
The Company recorded a PCL of $1.1 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, as compared to no provision in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company assesses the economic outlook has modestly deteriorated as compared to the assessment as of June 30, 2022. Projections for GDP growth and unemployment, key drivers in the Company’s ACL model, have weakened. As a percentage of average loans outstanding, the Company recorded net charge offs of four basis points (annualized) during the current period, compared to less than one basis point (annualized) during the same period of the prior fiscal year.
The Company’s noninterest income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, was $5.5 million, an increase $171,000, or 3.2%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. In the current quarter, increases in other loan fees, bank card interchange income, deposit account service charges, loan servicing fees, and other income were partially offset by a decrease in gains realized on the sale of residential real estate loans originated for that purpose. The increase in other income was attributable to a gain on the sale of fixed assets of $317,000 as the Company sold previously acquired properties not currently being utilized as banking facilities. This increase was partially offset by the inclusion in the year ago period of a non-recurring benefit of $278,000 recognized on the Company’s exit from a renewable energy tax credit partnership. Origination of residential real estate loans for sale on the secondary market was down 73.7% as compared to the year ago period, as both refinancing and purchase activity declined due to the increase in market interest rates, resulting in a decrease to both gains on sale of these loans and recognition of new mortgage servicing rights, partially offset by income from the servicing and gain on sale of the guaranty portion of government-guaranteed loans.
Noninterest expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, was $17.6 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 17.0%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable primarily to compensation and benefits, legal and professional fees, occupancy expenses, data processing expenses, deposit insurance premiums, and other noninterest expenses, and were partially offset by decreases in foreclosed property expenses and advertising. Charges related to merger and acquisition activities totaled $608,000 in the current period, reflected primarily in legal and professional fees, and, to a lesser extent, data processing fees. In the year ago period, similar charges totaled $205,000. The increase in compensation and benefits as compared to the prior year period primarily reflected increases in salaries and wages over the prior year, increased headcount resulting from the Fortune merger, and a trend increase in legacy employee headcount. Occupancy expenses increased primarily due to facilities added through the Fortune merger, and other equipment purchases. Other noninterest expenses increased due to miscellaneous merger-related expenses, expenses related to loan originations, deposit operations, and employee travel and training.
The efficiency ratio for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, was 52.3%, as compared to 49.7% in the same period of the prior fiscal year, with the change attributable primarily to the current period’s increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by increases in net interest income and noninterest income.
The income tax provision for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, was $3.3 million relatively unchanged as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
