BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) (NASDAQ: EGBN), the parent company of EagleBank (the Bank), today announced net income of $43.6 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $41.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, a 5.5% increase. Net income per basic and diluted common share was $1.36 for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $1.28 for the third quarter of 2020.

The increase in earnings is largely due to the release of reserves from the allowance for credit losses, partially offset by a reduction in mortgage fee income. Earnings for the third quarter of 2021 included a net reversal of $7.5 million from the allowance for credit losses on loans and the reserve for unfunded commitments, as compared to the third quarter of 2020, which included a net provision of $4.5 million for those two accounts.

Net income for the nine months ended September30, 2021, was $135.1 million, compared to $93.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a 45% increase. Net income per basic and diluted common share for the nine months ended September30, 2021 was $4.23 and $4.22, respectively, compared to $2.88 for both basic and diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

CEO Commentary

Susan G. Riel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. commented, "We ended the third quarter of 2021 with earnings that were 1.46% of average assets, continued improvement in asset quality and a high level of capital. Earnings included a third consecutive reversal to the allowance for credit losses and another substantial gain on sale of residential mortgages."

"While we remain a leader among our peers with an efficiency ratio of 41.7%, we continually seek out ways to control or reduce expenses. Early in the quarter, given the Bank's robust capital levels, we redeemed $150 million of subordinated debt issued in 2016. Based on its rate of 5.00% in the second quarter of 2021, this translates into an annualized pre-tax cost savings of $7.5 million. Also this quarter, we closed our Dulles, Virginia branch as it had an expiring lease and our other northern Virginia branches allow us to continue serving these customers. This reduced our branch count to 18 and raised our average deposits per branch to $537 million. The combined annual pre-tax cost savings in rental expense will be about $187 thousand.

"The lending environment in the third quarter remained challenging. Our local market is strong and companies are flush with cash, which led to a lot of paydowns on existing credits, but it also helped push our nonperforming assets down to 0.31% of assets at quarter-end. Additionally, much of our lending efforts this past quarter did not register on the balance sheet as unfunded commitments increased by $280 million over the prior quarter."

"At quarter end, our shareholders' equity reached $1.3 billion and our total risk-based capital was 16.59%. As economic conditions continue to improve and more opportunities arise, our equity gives us the ability to originate loans for large commercial projects, as well as a lot of runway to grow the loan portfolio."

"For our shareholders, at the end of the quarter our board increased the dividend to $0.40 per share, up from $0.35 per share in the previous quarter. With the increase, based on the closing stock price of $57.50 per share on September30, 2021, the dividend yield was 2.78%. We were also active in making stock repurchases during the quarter."

"We once again thank all of our employees for their commitment in serving the needs of our clients and communities. Additionally, we remain committed to a culture of respect, diversity and inclusion in both the workplace and the communities we serve."

Income Statement

-- Net interest income was $79.0 million for the third quarter of 2021, unchanged from $79.0million for the third quarter of 2020. While net interest income remained flat, we saw a 13% increase in average earning assets offset by a reduction in net interest margin when comparing the third quarter of 2021 to the same period of 2020. The redemption of $150 million of subordinated debt issued in 2016 on August 2, 2021, resulted in the one-time acceleration of deferred costs of $1.3 million, which were included in interest expense in the third quarter of 2021.Net interest income was $246.3 million for the nine months ended September30, 2021, up from $240.1million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

-- Net interest margin was 2.73% for the third quarter of 2021, as compared to 3.08% for the third quarter of 2020. Absent the accelerated interest expense on the redemption of $150 million of subordinated debt on August 2, 2021, the net interest margin would have been 2.78% for the third quarter of 2021.4 The decrease in margin primarily reflects a lower rate environment as well as significantly higher cash balances from strong deposit inflows.Net interest margin was 2.91% for the nine months ended September30, 2021, as compared to 3.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

-- Adjusted pre-provision net revenue ("Adjusted PPNR"),5 a non-GAAP measure, was $52.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to $60.0 million the third quarter of 2020. As a percent of average assets, adjusted PPNR for the third quarter of 2021 was 1.75%, down from 2.28% for the third quarter of 2020. This decline in Adjusted PPNR to average assets was a result of lower noninterest income while average assets increased by 13%.Adjusted pre-provision net revenue was $162.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $166.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

-- Provision for credit losses on loans was a reversal of $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to a provision of $6.6million for the third quarter of 2020. The reversal was primarily driven by the decline in loans, improvement in credit quality, and improvements and adjustments in qualitative and environmental factors.Provision for credit losses was a reversal of $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to a provision of $40.7million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

-- Provision for unfunded commitments was $716thousand for the third quarter of 2021, compared to a reversal of $2.1million for the third quarter of 2020. The provision increased as unfunded commitments were up $280 million from the prior quarter-end.Provision for unfunded commitments was a reversal of $487 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to a provision of $974thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

-- Noninterest income was $8.3million for the third quarter of 2021, as compared to $17.8million for the third quarter 2020, a 53% decrease. The decrease was primarily due to lower mortgage volume in the third quarter of 2021 versus the historically high volume that occurred in the third quarter of 2020. In comparison to the prior quarter, residential mortgage volume was up slightly. Residential mortgage loan locked commitments were $279.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, $248.3 million for the second quarter of 2021, and $593.0 million for the third quarter of 2020.Noninterest income was $29.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $35.8million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

-- Noninterest expenses were $36.4million for the third quarter 2021 compared to $36.9million for the third quarter of 2020. The major changes between the third quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2020 were as follows:Salaries and employee benefits were $22.1 million, up $2.8 million, as a result of higher incentive bonus accruals based on the Company performance and increases in share based compensation.Premises and equipment expenses were $3.9 million, down $1.3 million. The third quarter of 2020 included a $1.7 million adjustment which increased rent expense in accordance with ASC 842 on leases.Legal, accounting and professional fees were $2.0 million, down $1.1 million.

Noninterest expenses were $109.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $109.2million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

-- Efficiency ratio6 was 41.7% for the third quarter of 2021 compared to 38.1% for the third quarter of 2020. The efficiency ratio increase was driven by lower mortgage fee income in the third quarter of 2021 in comparison to the record mortgage fee income reported in the third quarter of 2020.The efficiency ratio was 39.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 39.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

-- Effective income tax rate for the third quarter ended 2021 and 2020 was 25.4%.Effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 25.4%.

Balance Sheet

-- Total assets at September30, 2021 were $11.6 billion, up 4.2% from year-end and up 14.6% from a year ago. The increase in assets from a year ago was primarily driven by increases to cash and investments as a result of large deposit inflows in the third quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2020. -- Investment portfolio had a balance of $1.8billion at September30, 2021, up 55.2% from year-end and up 82.8% from a year ago. We will continue to judiciously deploy accumulated excess liquidity into the investment portfolio to achieve higher yields over cash alternatives. Investments made during the third quarter of 2021 were primarily 20-year, 2% agency mortgage backed securities and treasury bonds. -- Total loans (excluding loans held for sale) were $6.9 billion as of September30, 2021, a decrease of 11.7% from year-end and a decrease of 13.1% from a year ago. A portion of the decrease was driven by PPP loan forgiveness and PPP loan sales in the second quarter of 2021. Excluding PPP loans, the loans were $6.8 billion at September30, 2021, a decrease of 7.1% from year-end and a decrease of 8.6% from a year ago.7Over the past four quarters, with the exception of the second quarter of 2021 (excluding PPP), payoffs and paydowns have outpaced funded originations and advances. This was driven by the successful completion of projects, and, at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, our focus on serving existing loan clients and maintaining credit quality. More recently, in the third quarter of 2021, the decline in loans also has been influenced by the competition to refinance at lower rates with longer amortization periods, and excess liquidity at competing banks as well as many companies and construction project sponsors.

On a linked quarter basis, total loans (excluding loans held for sale and PPP loans) at September 30, 2021, decreased by $238 million, or 3.4%, from the prior quarter end as payoffs and paydowns increased and exceeded originations and advances.

Also on a linked quarter basis, unfunded commitments (including unfunded rate locks on residential mortgages) were $2.37 billion as of September30, 2021, up $280 million from the prior quarter-end. Excluding rate locks on unfunded residential mortgages, unfunded commitments were $2.23 billion as of September 30, 2021, up $253 million from the prior quarter end, an increase of 12.8%.

In regards to loan yields, the yield on the loan portfolio has benefited from prepayment penalties as loans have paid off and from accelerated interest income from PPP loan forgiveness.

-- The yield on the loan portfolio was 4.59% for the third quarter of 2021 as compared to 4.46% for the third quarter of 2020. Excluding PPP loans, the adjusted loan yield (a non-GAAP measure) was 4.54% for the third quarter of 2021, down from 4.59% for the third quarter of 2020.8 -- The yield on the loan portfolio was 4.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 4.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

-- Allowance for credit losses was 1.21% of total loans at September 30, 2021, compared to 1.41% at year-end and 1.40% a year ago. Adjusted to exclude PPP loans, which are fully government guaranteed, the allowance for credit losses was 1.22%, compared to 1.50% at year-end and 1.48% a year ago.10 The reduction in the allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is due to a provision reversal of $14.4 million and net charge-offs of $12.2 million, which had a greater impact on the ratio than the decline in loans.Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2021 were $1.3 million as compared to $5.2 million for third quarter of 2020. On an annualized basis, this was 0.08% of average loans (excluding loans held for sale) for the third quarter of 2021, as compared to 0.26% for the third quarter of 2020.

Additional Commentary

-- Subordinated debt: On August 2, 2021, the Company redeemed $150 million of subordinated debt issued in 2016. In the second quarter of 2021, the rate on the debt was 5.00%, which translates into an annualized pre-tax cost savings of $7.5 million when redeemed. This redemption accelerated $1.3 million in deferred costs which were included in interest expense the third quarter of 2021. -- Cost savings initiatives: The Bank continues to pursue its "branch light" strategy to improve efficiency while putting more emphasis on relationships and technology. After a full analysis of our branch structure, the Bank closed its Dulles Branch in September 2021 as its lease expired. The annual cost savings in rent, common area maintenance and taxes is about $187 thousand, and there was no write-off of leasehold improvements as all improvements had been fully amortized upon the expiration of the lease.All of the employees from the Dulles Branch have filled, or will be filling, vacant positions within the Company, reducing the need to hire additional personnel.

-- Paycheck protection program: At September30, 2021, the Bank had an outstanding balance of PPP loans of $67.3 million. These loans were mostly originated in mid-2020, and we expect these loans to complete the forgiveness process over the next two quarters. -- COVID-19 and watch-rated loans: Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, all loans that received a third COVID-19 deferral or payment modification were downgraded to a watch-rating if not already rated as such. This was done to raise the visibility of these loans within the loan portfolio. After these COVID-19 deferred or modified loans demonstrate nine months of payments and sustained performance, they may be considered for removal as a watch-rated loan. Watch-rated loans at September 30, 2021 were $509 million, of which $415 million were loans that received a COVID-19 deferral or payment modification (includes loans that were upgraded to watch-rated). -- Nonperforming loans and assets: Both nonperforming loans and assets decreased on a linked quarter basis and year over year.Nonperforming loans were $31.2 million or 0.46% of total loans at September30, 2021, down from $49.5 million or 0.68% at the prior quarter end, and down from $58.1 million or 0.74% of total loans a year ago.Nonperforming assets were $36.4 million or 0.31% of total assets at September30, 2021, down from $54.5 million or 0.50% at the prior quarter end, and down from $63.0 million or 0.62% of total assets a year ago. At September 30, 2021, other real estate owned was $5.1 million. -- Dividend: On September 29, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per common share payable on November 1, 2021 to shareholders of record on October 21, 2021. This represents a $0.05 per share increase over the prior quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share, and a $0.18 per share increase from the $0.22 per share dividend declared in the third quarter of 2020. -- Stock repurchase plan: In December 2020, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase plan of up to 1,588,848 shares, or approximately 5% of shares outstanding, which commenced January 1, 2021. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company completed repurchases of 11,609 shares for $614,609 at an average cost of $52.94 per share under the stock repurchase plan.For the year, and since the start of the 2021 stock repurchase plan, the Company has repurchased a total of 13,075 shares for $676,901 at an average cost of $51.77 per share.

-- Legal update: As previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, on January 25, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with respect to a previously disclosed shareholder demand letter, covering substantially the same subject matters as the disclosed civil securities class action litigation pending in the SDNY. The letter demanded that the Board undertake an investigation into the Boards and managements alleged violations of law and alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, and take appropriate actions following such investigation. On October 4, 2021, the DC Superior Court approved the settlement and dismissed the derivative action complaint. The Company has already begun executing on the terms of the settlement, including the payment of agreed-upon fees and expenses (which were fully covered by the Companys D&O insurance policy).In connection with the previously disclosed investigation by the SEC, the Companys discussions with the Staff have progressed, and the Company continues to engage with the Staff, including senior Staff members, about a potential resolution or settlement of the Staffs investigation with respect to the Company. The Company is hopeful that these discussions will lead to a timely resolution of the investigation as it relates to the Company and any current employees and directors on a mutually agreeable basis, but there can be no assurance that will be the case. There also can be no assurance that this would result in resolution of any charges against former employees or directors, given the Staffs ongoing review of the factual record. Any agreements reached by the Company with the Staff would be subject to approval by the Commission, and there can be no assurance that it would be approved. We are unable to predict the outcome of the investigation or these discussions or whether any potential resolution would have a material impact on the Company.The Company is also continuing discussions with the Staff of the Federal Reserve Board about a potential resolution or settlement of its investigation with respect to the Company. With respect to the other investigations described above, we are unable to predict their duration, scope or outcome.As previously disclosed, the Company maintains director and officer insurance policies (D&O Insurance Policies) that provide coverage for the legal defense costs related to certain of the above-described investigations and litigations. When claims are covered by D&O Insurance Policies, the Company records a corresponding receivable against the incurred legal defense cost expense subject to coverage under the D&O Insurance Policies and then eliminates the receivable and expense when the claim is paid. Subject to any new developments to the above-described investigations and litigations that may occur over the next few months, the Company currently believes there is a possibility that the applicable D&O Insurance Policies may be exhausted as early as the fourth quarter of this year. Once the D&O Insurance Policies are exhausted, the Company will be responsible for paying the defense costs associated with the above-described investigations and litigations for itself and on behalf of any current and former Officers and Directors entitled to indemnification from the Company. Since the commencement of the above-described matters in 2018 through September 30, 2021, the Companys D&O Insurance carriers have advanced defense cost claims to the Company and its current and former directors and officers in an aggregate of approximately $10 million, excluding the cost of settlements. Because this aggregate amount does not reflect total expenses incurred and includes costs related to certain proceedings that have since settled, this number is not intended to be and should not be used as an estimate of defense costs going forward.

(1) Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible common equity ratio"), tangible book value per common share, and the annualized return on average tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. The Company calculates the annualized return on average tangible common equity ratio by dividing net income available to common shareholders by average tangible common equity which is calculated by excluding the average balance of intangible assets from the average common shareholders equity. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios and as such is useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions. The table below provides reconciliation of financial measures defined by GAAP with non-GAAP financial measures. (2) Computed by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. The efficiency ratio measures a banks overhead as a percentage of its revenue.(3) Excludes loans held for sale.

(1) Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible common equity ratio") and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios and as such is useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions.(2) Computed by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.(3) Excludes loans held for sale.
