Lennox unveils Model L at commercial product showcase

Global leader in HVACR develops ultra-efficient rooftop unit, revolutionary control system

PR Newswire

DALLAS, April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Lennox International (NYSE: LII), a global leader in the heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration markets, officially revealed the Model L packaged rooftop line during the first-ever Lennox Commercial Product Showcase. The light commercial HVAC system features an all-new rooftop controller, the Lennox CORE Control System and Service App, which was a finalist in the 2021 AHR Expo Innovation Awards.

The Model L packaged rooftop line boasts efficiency ratings among the highest in the industry with leadership models in SEER, IEER, and EER. Featuring both gas-electric and electric-electric units, the Model L is available from 3 to 25 tons of nominal cooling capacity.

“The Model L kicks off the rooftop revolution and sets the bar for a premium light commercial product,” said Elliott Zimmer, EVP, president & COO at Lennox International. “We spent years working with our customers to develop a product that could meet the complex needs of today’s building owners.  Industry-leading energy efficiency, comprehensive indoor air quality solutions, advanced system diagnostics, and a truly game-changing new control system help us deliver on our vision to be the most innovative commercial HVAC solutions provider in the industry.”

Model L rooftop units were designed to deliver the lowest total cost of ownership through variable speed components and intelligent operation. 

Packed full of innovative features, the heart of the Model L is the new Lennox CORE Control System and Service App. The CORE Service App was developed to replace the traditional user interface to provide quicker navigation for installation, network integration, and service. 

Using the advanced diagnostic and sensor system, the controller can communicate superheat, sub-cool, and other system performance details without hooking up gauges to the unit’s refrigeration system.  This critical performance information is available through open third-party communication protocols like BACnet and LonTalk.

“The CORE Control System has helped revolutionize the way information is handled within the HVACR industry by truly embracing open integration,” said Bobby DiFulgentiz, vice president of commercial product management and marketing. “The diagnostic capabilities of the Model L provide a deep understanding of unit performance and we have made all of this rich information available to any third-party building automation system through popular open protocols. This gives our customers the flexibility to choose the building controls system that works best for them.”

  • The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share

SIOUX FALLS, S.D.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Great Western Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: GWB) today reported net income of $51.3 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, compared to net income of $41.3 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.

“I am proud of our continued improvement this quarter and the laser focus and dedication of the Great Western team,” said Mark Borrecco, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We strengthened our capital position posting net income of $92.6 million and earnings per diluted share of $1.68 through the first half of fiscal year 2021, along with 17.4% return on average common equity. Credit quality also showed progress with both nonaccrual and classified loans down 12.4% this fiscal year, and loans with payment deferrals dropping to $19.7 million. This improvement, along with our allowance for credit loss coverage of 3.50% excluding PPP, reinforces our conservative approach on managing underwriting and risk management of the portfolio as our markets evolve into their new normal post pandemic.

In addition, we are excited to launch our new small business platform, which will transform the small business client experience while reducing our average small business loan closing time from 22 days to 3. This enhancement, along with our investments in treasury management and the improving outlook for the agricultural loan portfolio positions Great Western well for building momentum.”

Impact and Response to COVID-19 Pandemic

We remain focused on keeping our employees safe and our bank running effectively to serve our customers. Our branches have been reopened across our footprint, and we are targeting 75% employee occupancy in our offices by June, with plans for return in August involving remote work optionality and adherence to CDC guidelines in the office. For our customers, we have supported PPP, having provided $727.3 million in loans to over 4,800 customers in the first round followed by $196.0 million to over 2,500 customers in the second round. Related to PPP forgiveness, we have processed $356.5 million of loans for over 2,000 customers. Additionally, we have granted both full and partial payment deferrals to help provide relief from COVID-19, which resulted in a peak of $1.69 billion of loans on deferral as of the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. As of April 16, 2021 the balance of loans with a payment deferral was $19.7 million, or 0.24% of total loans excluding PPP, compared to $113.0 million as of January 13, 2021.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin1

Net interest income was $104.4 million for the quarter, a decrease of $5.1 million, while net interest margin was 3.51%, a 12 basis point decrease from 3.63%. Adjusted net interest income2 was $101.3 million, a decrease of $4.8 million, and adjusted net interest margin2 was 3.40%, also a 12 basis point decrease from 3.52%. Interest income was lower by $6.6 million as loan interest decreased by $7.1 million while securities and other interest income increased by $0.5 million. Loan interest reflects a $2.2 million decrease in nonaccrual interest recoveries, a $4.4 million decrease driven by lower loan volumes, and a $4.7 million decrease due to lower day count and other loan fees, all partially offset with a net $4.2 million increase in PPP interest and fee income. The decrease in interest income was partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in interest expense driven by a $0.7 million decrease from lower time deposit volumes and a 16 basis point decrease in yield to 0.52% combined with a net $0.8 million decrease driven primarily by a 5 basis point decrease in yield of interest-bearing deposits to 0.17%.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $17.2 million for the quarter, an increase of $3.0 million from the prior quarter. The increase was driven by a $2.4 million increase in other derivative income from a favorable credit adjustment on derivatives and a $1.7 million improvement in FVO credit risk. These were partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in service charges from lower overdraft activity and a seasonal decrease in crop insurance revenue.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense was $59.1 million for the quarter, an increase of $1.7 million from the prior quarter. The increase was driven by a $1.6 million increase in salaries and benefits due to annual merit increases and accrued incentives, a $0.3 million increase in data processing costs due to various software maintenance and upgrades, a $0.4 million increase in consulting costs to support strategic initiatives and a $0.3 million increase in seasonal grounds maintenance. These were partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in other real estate owned operating costs and a $0.5 million decrease in FDIC insurance premiums.

The efficiency ratio2 was 48.4% for the quarter, compared to 46.2% for the prior quarter.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $14.7 million for the quarter, an increase of $3.3 million from the prior quarter, yielding an effective rate of 22.2% compared to 21.6%.

Asset Quality

The ACL, as quantified by the Company under the CECL methodology adopted October 1, 2020, was $296.0 million as of March 31, 2021, a decrease of $12.8 million from $308.8 million as of December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by the lower loan volumes and the impact from improved economic forecast assumptions. The ratio of ACL to total loans was 3.28% as of March 31, 2021, an increase from 3.24% as of December 31, 2020. Excluding PPP loans the ratio was 3.50% for the current and prior quarter.

Net charge-offs were $7.8 million, or 0.34% of average total loans (annualized) for the quarter, down $22.6 million and 88 basis points from the prior quarter, respectively. The decrease was driven primarily by $25.6 million of charge-offs that occurred in the prior quarter related to a bulk sale of hotel portfolio loans.

As a result, the provision for credit losses on loans resulted in a $5.0 million net benefit for the quarter, compared to an $11.9 million provision in the prior quarter, as the required reserves released from the decreased loan volume more than offset the net charge-offs in the period.

Included within total loans are approximately $568.9 million of loans, down from $611.6 million as of December 31, 2020, with long-term, fixed rate structures using derivatives for which management has elected the fair value accounting option. These loans are excluded from CECL and the ACL, but management has estimated that approximately $27.4 million of the fair value adjustment for these loans relates to credit risk, which is 4.82% of the fair value option loans and 0.30% of total loans, compared to approximately $27.5 million of the fair value adjustment for these loans relates to credit risk, which is 4.49% of the fair value loans and 0.29% of total loans as of December 31, 2020.

Nonaccrual loans were $284.5 million as of March 31, 2021, a decrease of $7.9 million from $292.4 million as of December 31, 2020, largely driven by two payoffs from successful workouts and no material downgrades. Classified loans, which include nonaccrual loans, were $673.9 million as of March 31, 2021, a decrease of $43.0 million from $716.9 million as of December 31, 2020, driven by a $23.0 million decrease in agriculture loans from a number of upgrades and payoffs, the sale of a $23.5 million classified hotel loan, and the upgrade of a $35.8 million agri-related relationship, all partially offset with $41.4 million in downgraded hotel loans. Total other repossessed property balances were $17.5 million for the quarter, a decrease of $0.6 million from the prior quarter.

1 Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, increase (decrease) in unfunded commitment reserve is included in provision for credit losses.

We continue to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on our loan portfolio. Industries such as hotels & resorts (excluding casino hotels), casino hotels, restaurants, theaters, oil & energy, retail malls, airlines and healthcare have experienced uncharacteristic revenue loss due to COVID-19. Since the beginning of the pandemic we have been closely monitoring the following loan segments (excluding PPP loans) given elevated industry risk from COVID-19: hotels & resorts (excluding casino hotels) with $783.7 million, or 9.3% of total loans, restaurants with $124.3 million, or 1.5% of total loans, arts and entertainment with $119.4 million, or 1.4% of total loans, senior care with $314.2 million, or 3.7% of total loans, and skilled nursing with $212.3 million, or 2.5% of total loans, for a total exposure of $1.55 billion, or 18.4% of total loans excluding PPP loans, and $205.9 million of which was classified as of March 31, 2021. Loan exposure in such other identified industries is either immaterial or has not shown general distress thus far.

Loans and Deposits

Total loans outstanding were $9.01 billion as of March 31, 2021, a decrease of $506.5 million from the prior quarter. The decrease in loans during the quarter was driven by a $132.7 million net decrease in PPP loans, paydowns of criticized loans, commercial real estate loans refinanced in the secondary market and an increase in paydowns across commercial, agriculture and consumer from property sales and excess liquidity.

Total deposits were $11.56 billion as of March 31, 2021, an increase of $190.7 million from the prior quarter, driven by a $202.4 million increase in checking and savings balances and a $59.2 million increase in other interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $70.9 million decrease in time deposits.

Capital

Tier 1 and total capital ratios were 13.5% and 15.1%, respectively, as of March 31, 2021, compared to 12.7% and 14.3% as of December 31, 2020. The common equity tier 1 capital ratio and tier 1 leverage ratio were 12.8% and 10.0%, respectively, as of March 31, 2021, compared to 12.0% and 9.7% as of December 31, 2020. All regulatory capital ratios remain above regulatory minimums to be considered “well capitalized.”

On April 29, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.01 per common share, payable on May 28, 2021 to stockholders of record as of close of business on May 14, 2021.

1 This is a non-GAAP financial measure management believes is helpful to interpreting our financial results. See the tables at the end of this document for the calculation of the measure and reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.

2 Annualized for all partial-year periods.

3 Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and subsequent related ASUs, on October 1, 2020, this line represented the provision for loan and lease losses under the incurred model.

4 Upon implementation of the new risk rating system on October 1, 2020, the reported Watch rating was retired and new Special Mention loans and Criticized loans ratings were introduced for monitoring and reporting purposes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation

We rely on certain non-GAAP financial measures in making financial and operational decisions about our business. We believe that each of the non-GAAP financial measures presented is helpful in highlighting trends in our business, financial condition and results of operations which might not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP. We disclose net interest income and related ratios and analysis on a taxable-equivalent basis, which may also be considered non-GAAP financial measures. We believe this presentation to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income as it provides a relevant comparison of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. In addition, certain performance measures, including the efficiency ratio and net interest margin utilize net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis.

In particular, we evaluate our profitability and performance based on our adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, pre-tax pre-provision income (“PTPP”), tangible net income and return on average tangible common equity. Our adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share exclude the after-tax effect of items with a significant impact to net income that we do not believe to be recurring in nature, (e.g., one-time acquisition expenses as well as the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 COVID-19 impact on credit and other related charges and the impairment of goodwill and certain intangible assets). Our PTPP income excludes total provision for credit losses, credit gains/losses on loans held for investment measured at fair value and goodwill impairment. Our tangible net income and return on average tangible common equity exclude the effects of amortization expense relating to intangible assets and our acquisitions of other institutions. We believe these measures help highlight trends associated with our financial condition and results of operations by providing net income and return information excluding significant nonrecurring items (for adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share), measure our ability to generate capital by providing net income excluding credit losses (for PTPP income) and measure net income based on our cash payments and receipts during the applicable period (for tangible net income and return on average tangible common equity).

We also evaluate our profitability and performance based on our adjusted net interest income, adjusted net interest margin, adjusted interest income on loans and adjusted yield on loans. We adjust each of these four measures to include the derivative interest expense we use to manage interest rate risk on certain of our loans, which we believe economically offsets the interest income earned on the loans. Similarly, we evaluate our operational efficiency based on our efficiency ratio, which excludes the effect of amortization of core deposit and other intangibles (a non-cash expense item) and includes the tax benefit associated with our tax-advantaged loans.

We evaluate our financial condition based on the ratio of our tangible common equity to our tangible assets and the ratio of our tangible common equity to common shares outstanding. Our calculation of this ratio excludes the effect of our goodwill and other intangible assets. We believe this measure is helpful in highlighting the common equity component of our capital and because of its focus by federal bank regulators when reviewing the health and strength of financial institutions in recent years and when considering regulatory approvals for certain actions, including capital actions. We also believe the ratio of our tangible common equity to common shares outstanding is helpful in understanding our stockholders’ relative ownership position as we undertake various actions to issue and retire common shares outstanding.

Reconciliations for each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP financial measures are included in the tables below. Each of the non-GAAP financial measures presented should be considered in context with our GAAP financial results included in this release.

SEA Electric Grows U.S. Base Through Electrification Solutions, New Facilities and Management Growth

EV Company’s Strategy Includes New National Sales Leadership Team and Alignment with President Biden’s Infrastructure Plan

LOS ANGELES, April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — U.S.-based global automotive technology company SEA Electric is leading the charge to provide immediate electrification solutions that will align with U.S. President Joe Biden’s $174 billion proposed investment and EV infrastructure plan.

With an established upfitting capability for 60,000 units per year, SEA Electric is growing its strategic assembly facilities and technical centers while expanding an experienced management team throughout North America to meet the demands and opportunities for commercial and transit programs including trucks and delivery vehicles, school buses, and government fleets.

According to SEA Electric President and Founder Tony Fairweather, the company’s ‘rapid repower’ initiative enables large fleets to electrify within a cost-efficient AND timely manner. “We’ve positioned ourselves to deliver an immediate volume solution and our recent US $42 million investment has expanded our reach with wholly owned sales and service operations throughout the country. In addition, our current alliance with five third-party facilities to customize and retrofit commercial vehicles offers aftermarket conversions that become very attractive to companies that can appreciate the government incentives.”

An aggressive, relationship-driven national sales management team has been carefully curated to meet the demands within SEA Electric’s own infrastructure, with key leaders taking on the entire North American marketplace.

Vice President of Sales for North America Nick Casas will lead SEA Electric’s growth, leveraging his more than 12 years of national partnership expertise that includes franchise and fleet expansions on a global platform and working closely with partner companies including Sumitomo and Michelin.

“Key for expanding our company is a combination of individuals with strong business development backgrounds that align with massive relationship management skills,” said Casas. “Our long-term goals go far beyond North America, including our movements throughout Canada – but our sights are already set worldwide.”

In place to support U.S. and Canada fleet accounts larger than 1,000 units is Director of National Accounts Anna Plaza. Her primary role includes truck and van accounts, and all Class 3 vehicle fleets that are up to 16 feet. With more than two decades of global and domestic business development experience, she has held senior leadership roles for Sygne Corp. and most recently with COOP by Ryder.

Plaza has an MBA from Florida International University and an undergraduate degree from American University.

Tedd Rossi, Strategic Account Manager for the West Coast, brings nearly a decade of best-in-class relationship-based sales experience within the automotive arena with Cox Automotive to SEA Electric, expanding his target-marketing expertise within the commercial EV field. A graduate of Vermont’s Champlain College with an International Business degree, Rossi merges his successful automotive technology support and account management skillset within the sustainability sector to bring SEA Electric’s proprietary SEA-Drive® powertrain platform to companies and organizations that can take advantage of state incentives within the Western region.

The Future for SEA Electric

While SEA Electric’s roots will always remain in Australia, along with various manufacturing and technology capabilities, the company’s North American growth brings an advantage that can be replicated in Europe, as well. Current U.S. upfitting facility locations include Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Indiana, and Iowa. SEA Electric also recently opened a new Technical Center in Des Moines, Iowa, and will be adding facilities in Chicago, the NY/NJ tri-state area, and Florida later this year.

On the heels of its recent US $42 million equity financing announcement, SEA Electric also closed its latest purchase of 1,000 electric vehicle batteries from long-time technology partner Soundon New Energy Technology (China’s leading environmental protection industry enterprise). This important transaction supports SEA Electric’s proprietary SEA-Drive® 70, 100, and 120 major power-system models. While most of the initial units are slated for the United States, the balance will go to SEA Electric inventories in Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia, as well as the company’s first entry into the European market.

About SEA Electric

Global automotive technology company SEA Electric was founded in Australia in 2012, creating its proprietary electric power-system technology (known as SEA-Drive®) for the world’s urban delivery and distribution fleets.

Widely recognized as a market leader in the electrification of commercial vehicles on a global basis, SEA Electric commands a global presence, deploying product in seven countries including USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Indonesia, and South Africa with collectively more than one million miles of independently OEM-tested and in-service international operation.

The company’s global sales, after-sales and engineering are represented in all subsidiaries, whilst North America has the largest upfitting capacity for SEA Electric at more than 30,000 units per annum.

Transat secures $700 million in funding from the Government of Canada

Canada NewsWire

Refund process of trips cancelled due to the pandemic to begin immediately

MONTRÉAL, April 29, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ –  Transat A.T. Inc. (“Transat” or the “Corporation“) announced today that it has reached an agreement with the Government of Canada to borrow up to $700 million in additional liquidity through the Large Employer Emergency Financing Facility (LEEFF).

“The agreement reached with the Government of Canada provides us with an additional $700 million in liquidity, which is the amount we needed to move forward with confidence. Our strong balance sheet prior to the pandemic and the aggressive actions we have taken since have enabled us to weather this unprecedented crisis so far. With this support, we now look forward to resuming operations as soon as safe travel is possible and travel restrictions can be lifted. We will then be able to implement our plan to make Transat a solid and profitable company once again, one that will continue to symbolize leisure travel for its many customers in Quebec and elsewhere,” declared Jean-Marc Eustache, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“The funds obtained will also enable us to reimburse our customers whose travel had to be cancelled due to the pandemic under conditions that are sustainable for the company, which we welcome.”

The new fully repayable credit facilities made available by the Canada Enterprise Emergency Funding Corporation under the Large Employer Emergency Financing Facility, which Transat would use only on an as-needed basis, are as follows:

  • An amount of $390 million, representing the liquidity needed to support Transat until its business has recovered to a level where it can generate cash once again, broken down as follows:
    • An amount of $78 million in the form of a non-revolving and secured credit facility bearing interest at CDOR (Canadian Dollar Offered Rate) plus 4.5% and maturing in 2 years; the facility is secured by a first-ranking charge on the assets of Transat A.T. Inc.
    • A $312 million non-revolving and unsecured credit facility with a 5-year maturity, loaned at a rate of 5% in the first year, increasing to 8% in the second year, and by 2% per annum thereafter, with the possibility of capitalization of interest in the first two years.
    • In the context of the financing arrangement, Transat issued a total of 13,000,000 warrants for the purchase of an equivalent number of shares of Transat (subject to certain limitations described below), with customary adjustment provisions, at an exercise price of $4.50 per share (representing the volume-weighted average trading price for the five trading days preceding the issuance of the warrants) over a 10-year period, representing 18.75% of the total commitment available under the above non-revolving and unsecured credit facility. The warrants are to vest in proportion to the drawings that will be made, and 50% would be forfeited if the loan were to be repaid in full in the first year.
  • An amount of $310 million consisting of an unsecured credit facility to provide reimbursement to travelers who were scheduled to depart on or after February 1, 2020, for whom a travel credit was issued as a result of COVID–19. This amount is repayable over a 7-year term and is loaned at the current 7-year Canada Bond rate of 1.2%.

The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may not exceed 25% of the current number of issued and outstanding shares, nor may it result in the holder owning 20% or more of the outstanding shares upon exercise of the warrants. In the event of an exercise of warrants that surpasses these thresholds, the excess will be payable in cash on the basis of the difference between the market price of Transat’s shares and the exercise price. Finally, in the event that the credit facility is repaid in full by its maturity, Transat will have the right to redeem all of the warrants for a consideration equal to their fair market value. The warrants will not be transferable prior to the expiry of the period giving rise to the exercise of such redemption right. In addition, the holder of the warrants will benefit from registration rights to facilitate the sale of the underlying shares and the warrants themselves (once the transfer restriction has been lifted).

In connection with the establishment of these credit facilities, Transat has made certain commitments, including:

  • The reimbursement of travelers who were scheduled to depart on or after February 1, 2020, to whom a travel credit has been issued due to COVID-19. Refunds will begin immediately, with terms to be communicated separately. As per the agreement, to be eligible, customers will need to expressly indicate their desire for a refund;
  • Restrictions on dividends, stock repurchases and executive compensation;
  • Maintaining active employment at the level of April 28, 2021.

In addition to the new funding, the amounts already drawn on the existing facilities will remain in place and will be extended for a period of two years from the implementation of the new financing. The ratios applicable to the existing facilities will be suspended for a period of 18 months. The undrawn credit under the short-term subordinated facility will be cancelled.

In total, the available financing will therefore represent a maximum of $820 million. This includes the newly issued LEEFF funding, as well as existing funding of $120 million divided into $50 million under the secured revolving credit facility with National Bank of Canada and the Bank of Nova Scotia and $70 million under the subordinated credit facility with National Bank of Canada and Export Development Canada.

If all of the available facilities were to be used, it would be at an average rate of approximately 6%, plus the warrants.
