ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Cass Information Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CASS<\/span>), <\/b>(the Company or Cass)reported first quarter 2023 earnings of $0.51 per diluted share, a decrease of 15.0% from the $0.60 per diluted share it earned in the first quarter of 2022. Net income for the period was $7.1 million, a decrease of 13.8% from the $8.3 million earned in the same period in 2022.<\/p>\n
\nTotal revenues increased $7.2 million, or 17.2%, during the first quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by all three primary revenue sources, including higher net interest income due to an expanding net interest margin, greater financial fees driven by increased short-term interest rates, and higher payment processing fees as a result of new client wins. Total expenses increased $8.5 million, or 26.8% during the same period, which is significantly greater than what is required to support increased revenue. The Company continues to invest revenue growth in technology initiatives designed to improve operational efficiency and facilitate client acquisition and organic growth. Given the higher level of revenue and opportunity to expand client growth, the Company took the opportunity to accelerate these technology initiatives. These initiatives, which moved into production during the first quarter, center around automated invoice retrieval, automated extraction of data, general ledger mapping platform, and improving the transportation rating engine for clients. The Company believes the successful roll out to enterprise-wide use will lead to improved revenue growth as a result of faster client onboarding and solidification of its competitive advantages as well as improved operating leverage as a result of an anticipated reduction in the cost of processing invoices. Of the total increase in expenses, approximately $1.5 million is deemed to be nonrecurring transition and conversion related expenses.<\/p>\n
\nEric Brunngraber, the Company\u2019s chairman and chief executive officer, noted, \u201cWe continue to position Cass for long-term success. Our balance sheet is well positioned, with good on and off-balance sheet liquidity. We have a diversified funding base consisting of both payment float in our transportation and facility operating businesses and core deposits from our banking customers. In addition, capital levels remain strong. It is an exciting time for Cass.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMartin Resch, the Company\u2019s president and chief operating officer, noted, \u201cWhile expense levels are elevated due to significant and accelerated technology investment, we are optimistic we will see good operating leverage improvement beginning late this year as all of our large efficiency initiatives have entered production in the first quarter. These improved technology platforms will allow us to reduce current expense levels and\/or take on revenue growth as we move from targeted roll out to enterprise-wide use, without adding to our current expense structure. We are seeing high demand for the Cass service offerings and improved technology will greatly enhance our growth and profitability prospects in future periods.\u201d<\/p>\n
First Quarter 2023 Highlights<\/b><\/p>\n
Processing Fees<\/b> \u2013 Processing fees increased $477,000, or 2.5%, over the same period in the prior year. The increase in processing fee income was largely driven by the increase in facility transaction volumes of 5.3%. Transportation invoice volumes increased 1.6% over the same period. The Company has experienced recent success in winning facility clients with high transaction volumes.<\/p>\n
Financial Fees<\/b> \u2013 Financial fees, earned on a transactional level basis for invoice payment services when making customer payments, increased $727,000, or 6.9%. The increase in financial fee income was primarily due to the increase in short-term interest rates, partially offset by a decline in transportation dollar volumes of 5.4%.<\/p>\n
Net Interest Income<\/b> \u2013 Net interest income increased $5.0 million, or 42.0%. The Company\u2019s net interest margin increased to 3.23% as compared to 2.36% in the same period last year and 3.15% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in net interest income and margin was largely driven by the rise in market interest rates as compared to the same period last year, which is favorable for these financial metrics over the long-term. While the Company experienced a large increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, the net interest margin still increased 8 basis points as a result of 73.6% of the Company\u2019s average funding sources, consisting of deposits and accounts and drafts payable, being non-interest bearing, and interest-earning assets repricing to market interest rates.<\/p>\n
Provision for Credit Losses<\/b> \u2013 The Company recorded a release of credit losses of $340,000 during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to a provision for credit losses of $230,000 in the first quarter of 2022. The release of credit losses for the first quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by the decrease in total loans of $12.5 million, or 1.2%, as compared to December 31, 2022.<\/p>\n
Personnel Expenses <\/b>\u2013Personnel expenses increased $5.3 million, or 21.5%. Salaries increased $3.0 million, or 15.1%, as a result of merit increases, wage pressures, an increase in average full-time equivalent employees of 13.2% due to the Touchpoint acquisition and strategic investment in various technology initiatives. Share-based compensation increased $610,000 primarily related to executive succession matters. Pension expense increased $753,000. Despite the Company\u2019s defined benefit pension plan being frozen in the first quarter of 2021 resulting in no service cost in subsequent periods, expense increased as a result of the accounting impact of the decline in plan assets during 2022 and corresponding decline in expected return on plan assets for 2023. Other benefits, such as 401(k) match, health insurance and payroll taxes, increased $971,000, or 22.2%, primarily due to the 13.2% increase in average FTEs as well as a significant increase in employer health insurance costs over prior year levels.<\/p>\n
Non-Personnel Expenses<\/b> \u2013 Non-personnel expenses rose $3.2 million, or 45.5%. Certain expense categories such as equipment, outside service fees and data processing are elevated as the Company invests in, and transitions to, improved technology. Multiple technology platforms are being maintained prior to switching over to what the Company believes will be more efficient technology platforms for facility and transportation data entry processing by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n
Loans<\/b> –Average loans increased $116.4 million, or 12.1%. The Company has been successful in achieving organic growth in its franchise, faith-based and other commercial and industrial loans. When compared to December 31, 2022, ending loans decreased $12.5 million, or 1.2%.<\/p>\n
Payments in Advance of Funding <\/b>\u2013Average payments in advance of funding decreased $38.6 million, or 13.8%, primarily due to a 5.4% decrease in transportation dollar volumes, which led to fewer dollars advanced to freight carriers.<\/p>\n
Deposits<\/b> \u2013 Average deposits decreased $22.4 million, or 1.9%, when compared to the first quarter of 2022. Total deposits at March 31, 2023 decreased $141.1 million, or 11.2% as compared to December 31, 2022. The decrease in total deposits was partially due to seasonality with corporate clients making tax and annual bonus payments and fulfilling other operating needs as Cass generally sees a decline in depository balances during the first quarter. The Company also experienced deposit attrition as larger depository clients moved their funds to higher interest rate alternatives outside of Cass Commercial Bank. A high percentage of the Company\u2019s deposit base consists of operating accounts of faith-based and commercial clients in addition to payment float generated from CassPay clients.<\/p>\n
Accounts and Drafts Payable<\/b> \u2013 Average accounts and drafts payable increased $7.0 million, or 0.7%. The increase in these balances, which are non-interest bearing, are primarily reflective of the increase in facility expense dollar volumes of 14.4%, partially offset by the decrease in transportation dollar volumes of 5.4%. Accounts and drafts payable are a stable source of funding generated by payment float from transportation and facility clients.<\/p>\n
Transportation Dollar Volumes<\/b> \u2013 Transportation dollar volumes were $10.3 billion during the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 5.4% as compared to the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in dollar volumes was due to a decrease in the average dollars per transaction as a result of lower fuel costs and overall freight rates.<\/p>\n
Facility Expense Dollar Volumes<\/b> \u2013 Facility dollar volumes totaled $5.3 billion during the first quarter of 2023. The 14.4% increase in dollar volumes was largely due to an increase in energy prices as well as the 5.3% increase in transaction volume.<\/p>\n
Liquidity <\/b>\u2013The Company maintained strong liquidity during the first quarter of 2023 with average short-term investments, primarily cash in a reserve account at the Federal Reserve Bank, of $295.2 million. In addition, all of the Company\u2019s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale, and the Company expects to generate approximately $232.5 million of cash flows through amortization and maturities of investment securities within the next 16 months. The Company also maintains secondary sources of liquidity, including lines of credit up to a maximum $200.0 million in aggregate, collateralized by state and political subdivision securities, in addition to Cass Commercial Bank having a secured line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $216.0 million collateralized by commercial mortgage loans. The Company and Cass Commercial Bank had no outstanding borrowings on these lines of credit at March 31, 2023.<\/p>\n
Capital<\/b> \u2013 The Company\u2019s common equity tier 1, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios were 13.76%, 14.49% and 10.01% at March 31, 2023, respectively. Total shareholders\u2019 equity has increased $11.2 million since December 31, 2022 primarily as a result of first quarter 2023 earnings and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $7.1 million due to the decline in market interest rates and resulting positive impact on the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities.<\/p>\n
