Sterling Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBT) (“Sterling” or the “Company”), the holding company of Sterling Bank and Trust, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights

  • Net income of $9.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share
  • Net interest margin of 2.83%
  • Non-interest expense of $11.1 million, including $6.5 million of employee retention credits under the CARES Act; had we not realized this benefit, non-interest expense would have been $17.6 million
  • Provision for loan losses of $0.4 million; ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans held for investment of 3.14%
  • Shareholders’ equity of $336.6 million
  • Bank capital ratios continue to be in excess of minimum ratios required to be considered “well-capitalized” with a leverage ratio of 11.85%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 26.37% and a common equity tier one ratio of 25.07%
  • The Company’s consolidated leverage ratio of 10.32%, total risk-based capital ratio of 26.40% and common equity tier one ratio of 21.74% continue to exceed minimum regulatory capital requirements
  • Total deposits of $2.3 billion
  • Total loans held for investment of $2.2 billion
  • Nonperforming loans and troubled debt restructurings were $80.1 million (or 3.58% of total loans held for investment) compared to $77.8 million (or 3.30% of total loans held for investment) at June 30, 2021
  • Completion of the sale of the Bellevue, Washington branch office in July 2021

The Company reported net income of $9.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

“Sterling’s third quarter results include a $6.5 million benefit in the form of a credit available to certain employers under the CARES Act. Absent this benefit, our expenses declined modestly over the prior quarter, which had been our expectation. An additional benefit may be available with respect to the fourth quarter of 2021, which if realized would amount to approximately $2.2 million,” said Thomas M. O’Brien, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

Balance Sheet

Total Assets – Total assets of $3.1 billion at September 30, 2021 reflected a decrease of $278.5 million, or 8%, from $3.4 billion at June 30, 2021.

Liquid assets, comprising cash and due from banks and investment securities, decreased $156.4 million, or 16%, to $814.1 million compared to $970.5 million at June 30, 2021.

Total loans held for investment of $2.2 billion at September 30, 2021 reflected a decline of $119.7 million, or 5%, from $2.4 billion at June 30, 2021. Loan repayments outpaced loan production for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The impact of the excess loan repayments was partially offset by the repurchase of Advantage Loan Program loans totaling $6.1 million, pursuant to previously disclosed offers to repurchase 100% of previously sold Advantage Loan Program loans from third-party investors. Such repurchases of Advantage Loan Program loans have totaled $173.9 million during the first three quarters of 2021. The repurchased Advantage Loan Program loans were evaluated and considered to be performing at the acquisition date. Cash utilized in the repurchases helped reduce the excess liquidity position.

Total Deposits – Total deposits of $2.3 billion at September 30, 2021 reflected a decrease of $270.8 million, or 10%, compared to $2.6 billion at June 30, 2021. A portion of this decrease was attributable to the transfer of $65.4 million in total deposits upon the completion of the sale of the Bellevue, Washington branch office early in the third quarter of 2021.

Money market, savings and NOW deposits were $1.3 billion at September 30, 2021, an increase of $2.4 million from June 30, 2021. Time deposits of $961.7 million at September 30, 2021 reflected a decrease of $209.5 million, or 18%, compared to $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2021. Non-interest bearing deposits of $65.4 million at September 30, 2021 reflected an increase of $9.7 million, or 17%, compared to $55.7 million as of June 30, 2021. Brokered deposits included in time deposits were $20.0 million at September 30, 2021 and $35.0 million at June 30, 2021.

Capital – Total shareholders’ equity was $336.6 million at September 30, 2021 compared to $327.0 million at June 30, 2021. The Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements required to be considered “well-capitalized” as of September 30, 2021, and the Company exceeded all applicable minimum regulatory capital requirements as of such date, as summarized in the following tables:

Asset Quality and Provision for Loan Losses – A provision for loan losses of $0.4 million was recorded for the third quarter of 2021 compared to a recovery for loan losses of $1.8 million for the immediately prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2021 was $70.2 million, or 3.14% of total loans held for investment, compared to $70.7 million, or 3.00% of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2021. Additionally, the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2020 was $72.4 million, or 2.89% of total loans held for investment.

Net charge offs during the third quarter of 2021 were $0.8 million compared to net recoveries of $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2021. Nonperforming residential mortgage loans held for sale decreased from $14.9 million at June 30, 2021 to $8.7 million at September 30, 2021 primarily due to $3.2 million in loans returning to accrual status and loan payoffs of $2.9 million.

Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2021 totaled $88.9 million, or 2.83% of total assets, compared to $92.6 million, or 2.71% of total assets, at June 30, 2021. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2021 included $77.4 million of nonperforming loans held for investment, $8.7 million of nonaccrual loans held for sale and $2.7 million of troubled debt restructurings. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2021 included $74.8 million of nonperforming loans held for investment, $14.9 million of nonaccrual loans held for sale and $2.9 million of troubled debt restructurings. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2020 included $86.5 million of nonperforming loans held for investment, $19.4 million of nonaccrual loans held for sale and $8.2 million of troubled debt restructurings. Total gross loans delinquent 30 days or more were $134.0 million, or 6.0% of total gross loans, at September 30, 2021, which decreased from $155.0 million, or 6.5% of total gross loans, at June 30, 2021 and decreased from $174.6 million, or 6.9% of total gross loans, at December 31, 2020. Total loans in forbearance at September 30, 2021 was $1.0 million, or 0.04% of total loans held for investment, which decreased from $11.8 million, or 0.5% of total loans held for investment, at June 30, 2021.

“Credit quality continues to occupy our management’s attention. In general, our loan portfolio has remained stable with no significant new migration into criticized/classified territory. As I have stated previously, the Advantage Loan Program loans have continued to perform relatively well despite the compliance problems previously reported with respect to this portfolio. An example of this is the $19.4 million in Advantage Loan Program loans moved to held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2020. That portfolio has now paid down to $11.9 million, in each case recovering the entire balance. In addition, with the completion of our COVID-19-related forbearance program, loans in this category have declined to an aggregate unpaid principal balance of only $1 million. Our main concern at this point remains in the legacy commercial SRO portfolio and in certain of the construction projects. We continue to work these aggressively and have had some success in addressing these weaker credits,” said Mr. O’Brien.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Net interest income for the third quarter of 2021 was $22.6 million compared to $23.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $25.7 million for the third quarter of 2020. The net interest margin of 2.83% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 increased from the immediately prior quarter’s net interest margin of 2.70% and increased from 2.74% for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in net interest income during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the immediately prior quarter was primarily due to a decline of $70.2 million in our average loan balance, which was partially offset by a decrease in our average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits from 0.78% in the second quarter of 2021 to 0.59% in the third quarter of 2021. Our average interest-bearing deposits decreased from $2.7 billion in the second quarter to $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 2021.

Net interest margin was positively impacted in the third quarter of 2021 by a decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities of 15 basis points, reflecting the impact of the current low interest rate environment, while our yield on interest-earning assets remained relatively flat compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Non-Interest Income – Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2021 was $2.1 million compared to $(0.3) million for the immediately prior quarter. The increase from the second quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to a gain of $1.4 million recorded on the sale of the Bellevue, Washington branch office and a decrease in amortization of mortgage servicing rights as fewer loans were repurchased in the quarter. Gain on sale of loans increased in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the immediately prior quarter due to higher premiums on sold loans in the quarter.

Non-Interest Expense – Non-interest expense of $11.1 million for the third quarter of 2021 reflected a decrease of $8.9 million, or 44%, compared to $19.9 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in salaries and employee benefits of $5.9 million and professional fees of $1.7 million. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded $6.5 million in employee retention credits, which were available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which resulted in a net reduction of salaries and employee benefits for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the prior quarter. Absent realizing the payroll tax credit, salaries and employee benefit expense increased. The decrease in professional fees was primarily attributable to a reduction in incurred legal fees and the conclusion of one of the more significant projects that was required by the publicly available formal agreement with the OCC, dated June 18, 2019 (the “OCC Agreement”). In the third quarter of 2021, the Company received a reimbursement of $1.4 million from its insurance carrier related to certain litigation expenses previously incurred by the Company, compared to a similar payment of $2.4 million received in the second quarter of 2021. The recovery of the mortgage repurchase liability was $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. Other expense decreased from the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to the $1.0 million accrual for certain calculation errors from prior periods identified during the preparations for the core IT system conversion that was recorded in the second quarter of 2021.

Mr. O’Brien said, “We found that the Company was eligible for employee retention credits under the CARES Act for the first three quarters of 2021, and we anticipate a further credit for the fourth quarter of this year. We also had several critical projects conclude during the quarter which should control some costs in future periods. Included in the major accomplishments this quarter was the successful conversion from our legacy in-house IT platform to a new contemporary service provider. In conjunction with this conversion, we also migrated to a new AML system. These two milestones represent fundamental accomplishments in our efforts to comprehensively address the long-standing OCC Agreement. We will continue to monitor our costs, although they remain potentially volatile given the various ongoing investigations.”

Income Tax Expense –The effective tax rate was 27.7% for the third quarter of 2021 compared to 33.5% for the second quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was lower as the second quarter of 2021 included the impact of certain non-deductible expenses. The effective tax rate was 28.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Appointment of New Chief Financial Officer

On October 1, 2021, the Company announced that Karen Knott, previously Senior Vice President and Controller, was promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Knott has over 20 years of experience in financial operations and accounting roles with financial institutions and has served as the Company’s Senior Vice President and Controller since March 2021. Prior to this role, she served as Assistant Vice President and Controller of the Bank since 2015 and various other accounting roles with the Bank since 1998. “We are indeed fortunate to have Karen. She has the leadership qualities that will be critical to assist me in executing our strategies going forward. We all wish our outgoing Chief Financial Officer, Steve Huber, the very best in his future endeavors,” O’Brien said.
