Valley National Bancorp Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results

NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY), the holding company for Valley National Bank, today reported net income for the third quarter 2023 of $141.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, as compared to the second quarter 2023 net income of $139.1 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, and net income of $178.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2022. Excluding all non-core income and charges, our adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $136.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2023, $147.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2023, and $181.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2022. See further details below, including a reconciliation of our non-GAAP adjusted net income, in the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables.

Key financial highlights for the third quarter 2023:

  • Loan Portfolio: Loan growth in most categories slowed as expected during third quarter 2023 largely due to the impact of higher market interest rates. Total loans increased $220.3 million, or 1.8 percent on an annualized basis, to $50.1 billion at September 30, 2023 from June 30, 2023 mainly as a result of select new loan originations in the commercial real estate loan portfolio. Annualized loan growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled 9.0 percent. See the "Loans" section below for more details.
  • Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses for Loans: The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $462.3 million and $458.7 million at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, representing 0.92 percent of total loans at each respective date. For the third quarter 2023, the provision for credit losses for loans totaled $9.1 million as compared to $6.3 million and $1.8 million for the second quarter 2023 and third quarter 2022, respectively.
  • Credit Quality: Net loan charge-offs totaled $5.5 million for the third quarter 2023 as compared to $8.6 million for the second quarter 2023 and net recoveries of loan charge-offs of $5.6 million for the third quarter 2022. Total accruing past due loans increased $17.8 million to $79.5 million, or 0.16 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2023 as compared to $61.8 million, or 0.12 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2023. Non-accrual loans represented 0.52 percent and 0.51 percent of total loans at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. See the "Credit Quality" section below for more details.
  • Deposits: Total deposits increased $265.5 million to $49.9 billion at September 30, 2023 as compared to $49.6 billion at June 30, 2023 largely due to increases in direct customer interest bearing deposits, partially offset by a net decrease of $338.5 million in indirect customer deposits driven by maturity of certain indirect CDs. See the "Deposits" section below for more details.
  • Net Interest Income and Margin: Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $413.7 million for the third quarter 2023 decreased $7.6 million compared to the second quarter 2023 and decreased $41.7 million as compared to the third quarter 2022. Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased by 3 basis points to 2.91 percent in the third quarter 2023 as compared to 2.94 percent for the second quarter 2023. The decline in both net interest income and margin as compared to the linked second quarter reflects the impact of rising market interest rates on interest bearing deposits, net of a 23 basis point increase in the yield of average interest earnings assets for the third quarter 2023. See the "Net Interest Income and Margin" section below for more details.
  • Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income decreased $1.4 million to $58.7 million for the third quarter 2023 as compared to the second quarter 2023 mainly due to a $9.8 million decrease in capital market fees, largely offset by an increase of $6.5 million in net gains on sales of assets (mostly related to the sale of non-branch offices located in Wayne, New Jersey) and higher card fee income. The decrease in capital market fees was largely driven by the lower volume of interest rate swap transactions executed for new commercial loan customers during the third quarter 2023.
  • Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense decreased $15.8 million to $267.1 million for the third quarter 2023 as compared to the second quarter 2023 largely due to $11.2 million of severance expense (non-core charges) recorded within salary and employee benefits expense in the second quarter 2023 and third quarter declines in both professional and legal fees and our FDIC insurance assessment. Technology, furniture and equipment expense increased $4.8 million for the third quarter 2023 largely due to higher data processing costs.
  • Efficiency Ratio: Our efficiency ratio was 56.72 percent for the third quarter 2023 as compared to 55.59 percent and 49.76 percent for the second quarter 2023 and third quarter 2022, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.
  • Performance Ratios: Annualized return on average assets (ROA), shareholders’ equity (ROE) and tangible ROE were 0.92 percent, 8.56 percent and 12.39 percent for the third quarter 2023, respectively. Annualized ROA, ROE, and tangible ROE, adjusted for non-core income and charges, were 0.89 percent, 8.26 percent and 11.95 percent for the third quarter 2023, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.

Ira Robbins, CEO commented, "I am extremely proud of the strength, stability, and resiliency reflected in our balance sheet during the third quarter. Our asset quality remains exceptional, and slower loan growth during the quarter contributed to improved capital ratios. Higher customer deposit balances enabled an incremental reduction in indirect CDs, while we paid off short-term borrowings to normalize our overnight cash position which was elevated in the second quarter."

Mr. Robbins continued, "In early October we completed our transformational core conversion. This was an incredible accomplishment for our organization against a challenging backdrop. We now have the appropriate technology infrastructure to support sustainable growth and better efficiency going forward. In my tenure we have built our robust service capabilities and have a significant opportunity to leverage these new technologies."

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaling $413.7 million for the third quarter 2023 decreased $7.6 million and $41.7 million as compared to the second quarter 2023 and third quarter 2022, respectively. The decrease as compared to the second quarter 2023 was mainly due to increased interest rates on most interest bearing deposit products, partially offset by higher loan yields and a reduction in average short-term borrowings. As a result of the higher cost of deposits, total interest expense increased $32.9 million to $400.6 million for the third quarter 2023 as compared to the second quarter 2023. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $25.3 million to $814.3 million in the third quarter 2023 as compared to the second quarter 2023. The increase was mostly due to higher yields on both new originations and adjustable rate loans in our portfolio and a $561.5 million increase in average loan balances driven by organic new loan volumes over the last six months and a continuation of slower loan prepayments in the third quarter 2023.

Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 2.91 percent for the third quarter 2023 decreased by 3 basis points and 69 basis points from 2.94 percent and 3.60 percent, respectively, for the second quarter 2023 and third quarter 2022. The decrease as compared to the second quarter 2023 was largely driven by higher interest rates on interest bearing deposits, partially offset by a 23 basis point increase in the yield on average interest earning assets. The yield on average loans increased by 25 basis points to 6.03 percent for the third quarter 2023 as compared to the second quarter 2023 largely due to higher interest rates on new originations and adjustable rate loans. Our cost of total average deposits was 2.94 percent for the third quarter 2023 as compared to 2.45 percent and 0.59 percent for the second quarter 2023 and the third quarter 2022, respectively. The overall cost of average interest bearing liabilities also increased 33 basis points to 3.92 percent for the third quarter 2023 as compared to the second quarter 2023 primarily driven by the continued rise in the market interest rates on deposits.

Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings

Loans. Loans increased $220.3 million to approximately $50.1 billion at September 30, 2023 from June 30, 2023 mainly due to slower, but continued organic loan growth in the commercial real estate loan category and low levels of prepayment activity during the third quarter 2023. Total commercial real estate (including construction) increased $265.5 million, or 3.4 percent on an annualized basis during the third quarter 2023. Home equity loans also increased $13.4 million or 10.0 percent on an annualized basis during the third quarter 2023 due to higher utilization of lines of credit. Automobile loans decreased by $46.9 million, or 11.5 percent on an annualized basis during the third quarter 2023 largely due to continued low demand for vehicle financing because of the high interest rate environment. During the third quarter 2023, we sold $80.8 million of residential mortgage loans originated for sale as compared to $44.5 million in the second quarter 2023.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $265.5 million to $49.9 billion at September 30, 2023 from June 30, 2023 mainly due to increases of $833.5 million in savings, NOW and money market deposits and $194.8 million in time deposits, partially offset by a $762.8 million decrease in non-interest bearing deposits. The increase in savings, NOW and money market deposits was driven by increases in digital and national specialized deposits, as well as some shift in customer balances from non-interest bearing deposits during the third quarter 2023. The increase in time deposits was largely due to successful retail deposit campaigns, partially offset by the maturity of indirect time deposits. Non-interest bearing balances continued to be challenged by the high level of market interest rates which has caused some customers to pursue attractive investment alternatives, including our interest bearing products, or use cash in place of financing. Non-interest bearing deposits; savings, NOW and money market deposits; and time deposits represented approximately 24 percent, 46 percent and 30 percent of total deposits as of September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to 25 percent, 45 percent and 30 percent of total deposits as of June 30, 2023, respectively.

Other Borrowings. Short-term borrowings decreased $1.0 billion to $89.8 million at September 30, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2023 mainly due to maturities and repayment of FHLB advances and a decrease in our excess overnight cash positions as part of our liquidity management strategies during the third quarter 2023. Long-term borrowings totaled $2.3 billion at September 30, 2023 as compared to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2023. The decrease was largely due to the maturity and repayment of $125.0 million of 5.125 percent subordinated notes issued in September 2013 and due on September 27, 2023, which had already been fully disallowed from a regulatory capital perspective.

Credit Quality

Non-Performing Assets (NPAs). Total NPAs, consisting of non-accrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets, increased $4.2 million to $260.3 million at September 30, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2023 mostly driven by an increase in non-accrual loans. Non-accrual commercial and industrial loans increased $3.2 million to $87.7 million at September 30, 2023 mainly due to one new non-performing loan relationship totaling $4.2 million at September 30, 2023. Non-accrual loans represented 0.52 percent of total loans at September 30, 2023 compared to 0.51 percent at June 30, 2023.

Accruing Past Due Loans. Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) increased $17.8 million to $79.5 million, or 0.16 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2023 as compared to $61.8 million, or 0.12 percent of total loans at June 30, 2023.

Loans 30 to 59 days past due increased $13.6 million to $47.4 million at September 30, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2023 mainly due to increases in commercial and (secured) consumer loans within this early stage delinquency category.

Loans 60 to 89 days past due increased $6.8 million to $19.8 million at September 30, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2023 largely due to higher residential mortgage delinquencies and a $2.3 million commercial real estate loan that migrated from the 30-59 days past due category reported at June 30, 2023.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest decreased $2.6 million to $12.4 million at September 30, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2023. All loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest are well-secured and in the process of collection.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans and Unfunded Commitments. The following table summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to loan categories and the allocation as a percentage of each loan category at September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022:

Our loan portfolio, totaling $50.1 billion at September 30, 2023, had net loan charge-offs totaling $5.5 million for the third quarter 2023 as compared to $8.6 million for the second quarter 2023 and net recoveries of loan charge-offs of $5.6 million for the third quarter 2022. Gross charge-offs totaled $8.9 million for the third quarter 2023 and included a $4.0 million partial charge-off of one commercial and industrial loan relationship.

The allowance for credit losses for loans, comprised of our allowance for loan losses and unfunded credit commitments, as a percentage of total loans was 0.92 percent at both September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, and 1.10 percent at September 30, 2022. During the third quarter 2023, the provision for credit losses for loans totaled $9.1 million as compared to $6.3 million and $1.8 million for the second quarter 2023 and third quarter 2022, respectively. The provision for credit losses for the third quarter 2023 reflects, among other factors, higher quantitative reserves related to classified loans within the commercial portfolios and specific reserves associated with collateral dependent loans, partially offset by a negative (credit) provision for unfunded credit commitments driven by a decline in these obligations at September 30, 2023. Our economic forecast related reserves at September 30, 2023 remained relatively unchanged from June 30, 2023.

Capital Adequacy

Valley's total risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 11.68 percent, 9.21 percent, 9.64 percent and 8.08 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2023.

NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

(1)Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a tax equivalent basis using a 21 percent federal tax rate. Valley believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and net interest margin arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC rules.
(2)Represents the allowance for acquired PCD loans, net of PCD loan charge-offs totaling $62.4 million in the second quarter 2022.
(3)Non-GAAP Reconciliations. This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the Notes below, which has been determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that management uses in its analysis of Valley's performance. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to both management and investors in understanding Valley’s underlying operational performance, business and performance trends, and may facilitate comparisons of our current and prior performance with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning, forecasting and analysis purposes. Management believes that Valley’s presentation and discussion of this supplemental information, together with the accompanying reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, also allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be calculated differently from similar measures disclosed by other companies.
