Northwest Bancshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2021 Earnings and Quarterly Dividend

PR Newswire

WARREN, Pa., July 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: NWBI) announced net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 of $49.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share.  This represents an increase of $55.2 million compared to the same quarter last year, when the Company experienced a net loss of $6.2 million, or ($0.05) per diluted share, due primarily to COVID-19 related credit loss provisioning.  The annualized returns on average shareholders’ equity and average assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 were 12.58% and 1.37% compared to (1.63%) and (0.18%) for the same quarter last year.  The Company’s current period earnings were enhanced by a $25.3 million pre-tax gain from the previously disclosed sale of its insurance business to USI Insurance Services on April 30, 2021.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share payable on August 16, 2021 to shareholders of record as of August 5, 2021.  This is the 107th consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend. Based on the market value of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2021, this represents an annualized dividend yield of approximately 5.9%.

In making this announcement, Ronald J. Seiffert, Chairman, President and CEO, noted, “We continue to experience the negative effects of the current low interest rate environment on our net interest income along with excess liquidity, both at the bank level and from a customer perspective, causing low, and falling, net interest margins.  Our net interest margin decreased 27 basis points from the first quarter of 2021 to 2.91% due mostly to lower loan yields which accounted for approximately 15 basis points of this decline.  In addition, purchase accounting and PPP accretion was $3.5 million lower this quarter than the first quarter 2021, contributing another 11 basis points to this decline.  Furthermore, slower loan demand which, along with PPP forgiveness, is muting loan growth.  Fortunately, this excess liquidity, assisted through government stimulus, has kept loan delinquency and actual loan losses in check, enabling us to recoup the excess COVID-19 reserves of 2020 and right size our allowance for credit losses.”

Mr. Seiffert continued, “We also continue to invest in our people, infrastructure and technology as we believe this short-term expense is essential to remain competitive as we ultimately look to scale in size in order to recognize long-term efficiencies.  Our customers demand ease, speed, convenience and security and we want to ensure that our existing and new customers experience the innovation and technology they expect and deserve.”

Net interest income decreased by $2.3 million, or 2.4%, to $95.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from $98.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, largely due to a $7.8 million, or 7.5%, decrease in interest income on loans receivable.  This decrease in interest income on loans was mainly due to a decrease in the average loan yield to 3.73% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 from 4.09% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  Also contributing to the decrease in interest income on loans was a decrease of $96.8 million, or 0.9%, in the average balance of loans.  Partially offsetting this decrease was a decrease of $4.6 million, or 48.9%, in interest expense on deposits due to a decline in market interest rates when compared to the prior year, resulting in a decrease in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities to 0.29% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 from 0.48% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The net effect of the changes in interest rates and average balances was a decrease in net interest margin to 2.91% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 from 3.38% for the same quarter last year.

Our credit loss reserve process and modeling concluded that no provision for credit losses was necessary this quarter, which represents a decrease of $51.8 million compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  This decrease was primarily due to continued improvements in economic forecasts compared to the uncertainty that existed last year in industries impacted by COVID-19.

Noninterest expense decreased by $2.8 million, or 3.2%, to $86.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from $89.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  This decrease was primarily due to a decline of $9.0 million, or 93.5%, in merger related expenses due to expenses incurred in the prior year as a result of the acquisition of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. Also contributing to this decrease was a reduction of $6.4 million, or 81.9%, in other expenses primarily due to an elevated reserve for unfunded commitments during the second quarter of 2020 resulting from the estimated economic impact of COVID-19.  Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase of $8.8 million, or 22.1%, in compensation and employee benefits due primarily to increases in health insurance and other benefit costs, regular merit expense and the addition of MutualBank employees and other strategic personnel. Also contributing to this increase was an increase of $3.5 million, or 29.7%, in processing expenses as we continue to invest in technology and infrastructure and as activity-driven utilization fees for ATM, check card, and online and mobile banking has increased. Lastly, there was an increase of $1.4 million, or 49.8%, in professional service expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to the utilization of third-party experts to assist with our digital strategy rollout.

Noninterest expense decreased by $2.8 million, or 3.2%, to $86.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from $89.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  This decrease was primarily due to a decline of $9.0 million, or 93.5%, in merger related expenses due to expenses incurred in the prior year as a result of the acquisition of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. Also contributing to this decrease was a reduction of $6.4 million, or 81.9%, in other expenses primarily due to an elevated reserve for unfunded commitments during the second quarter of 2020 resulting from the estimated economic impact of COVID-19.  Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase of $8.8 million, or 22.1%, in compensation and employee benefits due primarily to increases in health insurance and other benefit costs, regular merit expense and the addition of MutualBank employees and other strategic personnel. Also contributing to this increase was an increase of $3.5 million, or 29.7%, in processing expenses as we continue to invest in technology and infrastructure and as activity-driven utilization fees for ATM, check card, and online and mobile banking has increased. Lastly, there was an increase of $1.4 million, or 49.8%, in professional service expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to the utilization of third-party experts to assist with our digital strategy rollout.

The provision for income taxes increased by $16.3 million to an expense of $15.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from a tax benefit of $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  This increase in income taxes was due to higher income before income taxes.

The table summarizes the Company’s results from operations on a GAAP basis and on an operating (non-GAAP) basis for the periods indicated. Operating results exclude the gain on the sale of our insurance business, merger/asset disposition expense and prior period estimated COVID-related provision, CECL provision related to the acquisition of MutualBank, PPP deferred origination costs and estimated COVID-related off balance sheet provision. The net tax effect was calculated using statutory tax rates of approximately 28.0%. The Company believes this non-GAAP presentation provides a meaningful comparison of operational performance and facilitates a more effective evaluation and comparison of results to assess performance in relation to ongoing operations.

**

To arrive at the non-COVID related provision estimates, the Company applied Moody’s forecast scenarios prior to the onset of COVID-19 to the Company’s loan portfolio for the periods presented.
