FineMark Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2022 Reports Earnings

FORT MYERS, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 18, 2022 / FineMark Holdings, Inc. (the "Holding Company"); (OTCQX:FNBT), the parent company of FineMark National Bank & Trust (the "Bank"; collectively, "FineMark"), today reported net revenues of $26.3 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $22 million in the first quarter of 2021. Net income was $6.9 million, or $.58 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.6 million, or $.61 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.

Joseph R. Catti, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer:

"FineMark delivered strong results for the first quarter, despite volatility in the equity markets and the horrific Russian invasion of Ukraine. The war has resulted in unthinkable human suffering and the global economic consequences are just beginning to materialize. Despite all of this uncertainty around the world and in the US, our people once again proved they are relentless in their focus to serve our clients and our communities, in any given situation."

Net Interest Income & Margin

For the first quarter of 2022, FineMark's net interest income totaled $17.5 million, up 14% from the year prior. This increase was largely due to growth in the Bank's investment portfolio (78% increase year-over-year), continued loan growth, and the repayment of $71 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, which reduced the Bank's interest expense by $67,000 for the quarter.

The Bank also purchased $289 million in high-quality investment grade bonds which generated $707,000 in interest income for the quarter. The investment portfolio now represents 35% of total assets. Total interest income grew by 8%.

As a result of the overall low interest rate environment, the Bank ended the quarter with a net interest margin of 2.14% (down from 2.25% in first quarter 2021).

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased 18% for a total of $17 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $14.4 million first quarter 2021. This increase is primarily due to salary expense, which rose 20%. As FineMark continues to grow, additional expenses are incurred to maintain high service levels, which included 14 new associates hired in the first quarter. FineMark's efficiency ratio decreased to 64.5%, compared to 65.4% in the first quarter of last year.

Credit Quality

FineMark maintained strong asset quality during the first quarter. Loan production totaled $210 million for the quarter, compared to $211 million last year. While loan production was robust, loan paydowns were $175 million, resulting in net loan growth of $35 million or 8%. These figures mirror results for the same period last year.

The Bank remains committed to maintaining its high credit standards through our relationship-centered approach to banking. Loan decisions are always based on an in-depth understanding of each borrower's needs and unique financial situation. As a result, the Bank has experienced minimal loan defaults through various market cycles.

At the end of the quarter, non-performing loans were $714,000, or .04% of total loans, a decrease from .08% compared to the first quarter of 2021. Additionally, only $299,000, or .01% of total loans, were past due at the end of Q1 2022, a 96% decrease from a year ago. The current allowance is $20.7 million (or 1.01% of gross loans).

Capital

All capital ratios continue to exceed regulatory requirements for "well-capitalized" banks. On March 31, 2022, FineMark's Tier 1 leverage ratio on a consolidated basis was 9.22%; the total risk-based capital ratio was 20.25%.

Rising interest rates toward the end of the quarter resulted in a $41 million net unrealized loss on the Bank's investment portfolio. This unrealized loss does not reflect bond credit quality; rather, it shows how rapidly interest rates have increased. Because the Bank intends to hold these bonds to maturity, the losses are likely to remain unrealized. This unrealized loss resulted in a book value per share of $23.82 on March 31, 2022, compared to $23.20 a year prior. Excluding the unrealized loss, book value per share would have been $27.37.

Return on average equity (ROAE) decreased to 9.17% this quarter, compared to 10.48% for the first quarter of 2021. This reduction is due to the higher capital levels from the stock offering in 2021.
