Southern Missouri Bancorp Reports Preliminary Results for Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2023; Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.21 Per Common Share; Conference Call Scheduled for Tuesday, July 25, at 9:30 am Central Time

Poplar Bluff, Missouri, July 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) (NASDAQ: SMBC), the parent corporation of Southern Bank (“Bank”), today announced preliminary net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 of $15.6 million, an increase of $2.5 million or 18.9%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to increases in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense. Preliminary net income was $1.37 per fully diluted common share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, a decrease of $.04 as compared to the $1.41 per fully diluted common share reported for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The after-tax impact of non-recurring merger-related charges are estimated to have reduced the current quarter’s diluted earnings per share by $0.06. For the full fiscal year 2023, preliminary net income of $39.2 million was a decrease of $7.9 million as compared to fiscal 2022, while diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2023 were $3.85, a decrease of $1.36 as compared to the $5.21 per fully diluted common share for fiscal 2022. The after-tax impact of the provision for credit losses (“PCL”) attributable to achieve the required “Day 1” allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on the acquired loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures, and noninterest expense attributable to merger and acquisition charges were estimated to have reduced diluted EPS by $0.95.

Highlights for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023:

  • Earnings per common share (diluted) were $1.37, down $.04, or 2.8%, as compared to the same quarter a year ago, and up $1.15, or 522.7% from the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter.

  • Annualized return on average assets (“ROA”) was 1.44%, while annualized return on average common equity (“ROE”) was 14.1%, as compared to 1.62% and 16.2%, respectively, in the same quarter a year ago, and 0.23% and 2.3%, respectively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter.

  • Net interest margin for the quarter was 3.60%, down from the 3.66% reported for the year ago period, and up from 3.48% reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter. Net interest income increased $8.5 million, or 30.5%, as compared to the same quarter a year ago, and increased $2.5 million, or 7.3%, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter.

  • Noninterest income was up 37.7% for the quarter, as compared to the year ago period, and up 42.4% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter, as several seasonal factors improved revenues.

  • Noninterest expense was up 43.5% for the quarter, as compared to the year ago period, and down 7.8% from the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter. In the current quarter, charges attributable to the merger activity totaled $829,000, as compared to $3.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter, and as compared to $117,000 in the same quarter a year ago.

  • The PCL was $795,000 in the quarter, as compared to $240,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year and $10.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter. The PCL effects of the Citizens merger added $7.0 million to the provision recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

  • Nonperforming assets were $11.3 million, 0.26% of total assets, at June 30, 2023, as compared to $12.7 million, or .30% of total assets reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the linked quarter, and as compared to $6.3 million, or 0.20% of total assets, at June 30, 2022. The increase in nonperforming assets, as compared to the year-ago period, was attributable primarily to the Citizens merger, discussed in further detail below.

  • Gross loan balances increased by $138.7 million during the fourth quarter, and increased by $899.5 million during all of fiscal 2023, which included a $447.4 million increase, net of fair value adjustment, attributable to the Citizens merger, during the third quarter of the fiscal year.

  • Deposit balances decreased by $29.7 million during the fourth quarter, and increased by $910.5 million during all of fiscal 2023, which included a $851.1 million increase, net of fair value adjustments, attributable to the Citizens merger during the third quarter of the fiscal year.

  • Uninsured deposits, excluding public unit funds which are collateralized, were estimated at 14% of total deposits as of June 30, 2023.

Dividend Declared:

The Board of Directors, on July 18, 2023, declared a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.21, payable August 31, 2023, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2023, marking the 117th consecutive quarterly dividend since the inception of the Company. The Board of Directors and management believe the payment of a quarterly cash dividend enhances stockholder value and demonstrates our commitment to and confidence in our future prospects.

Balance Sheet Summary:

The Company experienced significant balance sheet growth in fiscal 2023, with total assets of $4.4 billion at June 30, 2023, reflecting an increase of $1.1 billion, or 35.6%, as compared to June 30, 2022. Growth primarily reflected an increase in net loans receivable, available-for-sale securities, intangible assets, and other assets. A significant portion of this growth was a result of the Citizens merger.

Cash equivalents and time deposits were a combined $55.2 million at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $36.4 million, or 39.7%, as compared to June 30, 2022. AFS securities were $417.6 million at June 30, 2023, up $182.2 million, or 77.4%, as compared to June 30, 2022, primarily a result of the Citizens merger.

Loans, net of the ACL, were $3.6 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $884.9 million, or 32.9%, as compared to June 30, 2022. Gross loans increased by $899.5 million, while the ACL attributable to outstanding loan balances increased $14.6 million, or 44.1%, as compared to June 30, 2022. An increase of $447.4 million in loan balances, net of fair value adjustments, was attributable to the Citizens merger. The Company also noted legacy growth in residential and commercial real estate loans, drawn construction loan balances, commercial loans, and a modest contribution from consumer loans. Residential real estate loan balances increased primarily due to growth in multi-family loans. Commercial real estate balances increased primarily from an increase in loans secured by nonresidential structures, along with growth in loans secured by farmland, and in unimproved land loans. Construction loan balances increased primarily due to increases in drawn balances of nonowner-occupied nonresidential and multi-family real estate loans. The increase in commercial loans was attributable to commercial and industrial loans and agricultural loan balances.

The Company’s concentration in non-owner occupied commercial real estate is estimated at 327% at June 30, 2023, as compared to 306% one year ago, representing 41% of total loans at June 30, 2023. Multi-family residential real estate, hospitality (hotels/restaurants), retail stand-alone, and strip centers are the most common collateral types within the non-owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio. The multi-family residential real estate portfolio commonly includes loans collateralized by properties currently in the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) program or having exited the program. The hospitality and retail stand-alone segments include primarily franchised businesses, and the strip centers can be defined as non-mall shopping centers with a variety of tenants. Non-owner occupied office property types included 34 loans totaling $30.5 million, or 0.9% of total loans at June 30, 2023, none of which are adversely classified, and are generally comprised of smaller spaces with diverse tenants. The Company continues to monitor this concentration and the individual segments closely.

Loans anticipated to fund in the next 90 days totaled $134.8 million at June 30, 2023, as compared to $164.4 million at March 31, 2023, and $121.6 million at June 30, 2022.

Nonperforming loans were $7.7 million, or 0.21% of gross loans, at June 30, 2023, as compared to $4.1 million, or 0.15% of gross loans at June 30, 2022. Nonperforming assets were $11.3 million, or 0.26% of total assets, at June 30, 2023, as compared to $6.3 million, or 0.20% of total assets, at June 30, 2022. The net change in nonperforming assets was attributable to increases of $2.0 million in nonperforming loans and $2.1 million in other real estate owned obtained via the Citizens merger, a net decrease of $580,000 in legacy other real estate owned, and an increase of $1.5 million in legacy nonperforming loans.

Our ACL at June 30, 2023, totaled $47.8 million, representing 1.32% of gross loans and 625% of nonperforming loans, as compared to an ACL of $33.2 million, representing 1.22% of gross loans and 806% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2022. The ACL required for purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans acquired in the Citizens merger was $1.1 million, and was funded through purchase accounting adjustments, while the ACL required for non-PCD loans acquired in the Citizens merger was $5.2 million, and was funded through a charge to PCL recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company has estimated its expected credit losses as of June 30, 2023, under ASC 326-20, and management believes the ACL as of that date is adequate based on that estimate. There remains, however, significant uncertainty as the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy to address inflation risks. Management continues to closely monitor, in particular, borrowers in the hotel industry that were slow to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total liabilities were $3.9 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.0 billion, or 35.3%, as compared to June 30, 2022.

Deposits were $3.7 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $910.5 million, or 32.3%, as compared to June 30, 2022. An increase of $851.1 million in deposit balances, net of fair value adjustments, was attributable to the Citizens merger. Inclusive of the merger, the deposit portfolio saw fiscal year-to-date increases in certificates of deposit, interest-bearing transaction accounts, money market deposit accounts, and noninterest bearing transaction accounts, primarily as a result of the Citizens merger. Public unit balances totaled $578.5 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $105.3 million compared to June 30, 2022, and a decrease of $58.1 million as compared to March 31, 2023. Brokered deposits totaled $159.6 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $136.7 million compared to June 30, 2022, and an increase of $61.7 million as compared to March 31, 2023. The loan-to-deposit ratio for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 was 95.8%, as compared to 94.3% for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

FHLB advances were $133.5 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $95.6 million, or 251.8%, as compared to June 30, 2022, and an increase of $88.5 million from March 31, 2023, the linked quarter, as loan growth combined with deposit outflows required additional funding. The increase in FHLB advances for the full fiscal year was inclusive of $33.5 million in overnight borrowings, as compared to no overnight borrowings at June 30, 2022, and was coupled with $62.1 million in term advances.

The Company’s stockholders’ equity was $446.1 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $125.3 million, or 39.1%, as compared to June 30, 2022. The increase was attributable primarily to $98.3 million in equity issued to Citizens shareholders in connection with the merger, as well as earnings retained after cash dividends paid, partially offset by a modest increase in accumulated other comprehensive losses (“AOCL”) as the market value of the Company’s investments declined due to increases in market interest rates. The AOCL increased from $17.5 million at June 30, 2022, to $21.9 million at June 30, 2023. The Company does not hold any securities classified as held-to-maturity.

Quarterly Income Statement Summary:

The Company’s net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, was $36.2 million, an increase of $8.5 million, or 30.5%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable to a 32.8% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets in the current three-month period, as compared to the same period a year ago, partially offset by a six basis point decrease in net interest margin from 3.66% to 3.60%. As PPP loan forgiveness declined, the Company’s accretion of interest income from deferred origination fees on these loans was immaterial in the current quarter, and had no impact on net interest margin, which was consistent with the linked quarter ended March 31, 2023, and as compared to $72,000 in the same quarter a year ago, which added one basis point to net interest margin in that period.

Loan discount accretion and deposit premium amortization related to the Company’s August 2014 acquisition of Peoples Bank of the Ozarks, the June 2017 acquisition of Capaha Bank, the February 2018 acquisition of Southern Missouri Bank of Marshfield, the November 2018 acquisition of First Commercial Bank, the May 2020 acquisition of Central Federal Savings & Loan Association, the February 2022 merger of Fortune, and the January 2023 acquisition of Citizens Bank & Trust resulted in $1.6 million in net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $606,000 in net interest income for the same period a year ago. Combined, this component of net interest income contributed 16 basis points to net interest margin in the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to an eight basis point contribution for the same period of the prior fiscal year, and as compared to a 14 basis points contribution in the linked quarter, ended March 31, 2023, when net interest margin was 3.48%.

The Company recorded a PCL of $795,000 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to a PCL of $240,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The current period PCL was the result of a $2.3 million provision attributable to the ACL for loan balances outstanding, partially offset by a recovery of $1.5 million in provision attributable to the allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Company’s assessment of the economic outlook at June 30, 2023, was little changed as compared to the assessment as of March 31, 2023. Qualitative adjustments in the Company’s ACL model were also little changed. The Company modestly decreased adjustments related to classified hotel loans that have been slow to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and modestly increased the ACL due to a small number of individually identified loans. As a percentage of average loans outstanding, the Company recorded net charge offs of 0.02% (annualized) during the current period, up slightly from the same period of the prior fiscal year.

The Company’s noninterest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, was $9.0 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 37.7%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. In the current period, increases in deposit account service charges, bank card interchange income, loan servicing fees, and other income were partially offset by decreases in gains realized on the sale of residential real estate loans originated for that purpose, and gains realized on the sale of the guaranty portion of government-guaranteed loans. Additionally, the Company recognized benefits on its exit from a renewable energy tax credit and other benefits on renewable and historic tax credit investments totaling $709,000, as compared to $371,000 in similar benefits a year ago, and recognized a benefit of $348,000 due to the increased fair value of mortgage servicing rights held, as compared to a similar benefit of $176,000 in the same period a year ago. Annual incentives and reimbursements from the Company’s payment network processor improved the amount of interchange income recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022. Origination of residential real estate loans for sale on the secondary market was down 52% as compared to the year ago period, as both refinancing and purchase activity declined due to the increase in market interest rates, resulting in a decrease to both gains on sale of these loans and recognition of new mortgage servicing rights.

Noninterest expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, was $24.9 million, an increase of $7.5 million, or 43.5%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. In the current quarter, this increase in noninterest expense was attributable primarily to increases in compensation and benefits, data processing fees, occupancy expenses, and other noninterest expenses. Direct charges totaling $829,000 related to merger and acquisition activity were reflected primarily in data processing fees (including contract termination and data conversion fees), compensation and benefits, and other miscellaneous merger operating expenses. In the year ago period, similar charges totaled $117,000. The increase in compensation and benefits as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to increased headcount resulting from the Citizen merger, and a trend increase in legacy employee headcount, as well as annual merit increases which, for most team members, took effect in January 2023. Occupancy expenses increased primarily due to facilities added through the Citizens merger, and other equipment purchases. Other noninterest expenses increased due to miscellaneous merger-related expenses, expenses related to loan originations, and deposit operations. The Company recognized a recovery on foreclosed property expenses and losses, as compared to a charge in the year-ago period.

The efficiency ratio for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, was 55.1%, as compared to 50.6% in the same period of the prior fiscal year, with the change attributable primarily to the current period’s increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by increases in net interest income and noninterest income.

The income tax provision for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, was $3.9 million, an increase of 9.4%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to an increase of net income before income taxes.
