FB Financial Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

FB Financial Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: FBK), parent company of FirstBank, reported a net loss of $(5.6) million, or $(0.14) per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $24.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2019. The application of CECL accounting to the loan portfolio acquired with the Franklin Financial Network, Inc. merger ("Franklin" and the "Franklin Merger") contributed to provisions for credit losses and unfunded commitments totaling $55.4 million in the third quarter compared to $25.9 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2019. The Company reported adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision ("PTPP") earnings of $72.3 million this quarter, reflecting increases of 25.0% and 113.1% from $57.8 million and $33.9 million in the second quarter of 2020 and third quarter of 2019, respectively. Additionally, the Company reported ROAA of (0.24)% and ROAE of (2.13)%.

President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher T. Holmes stated, "The third quarter was really solid for the Company as we achieved several critical milestones. During the quarter we closed and converted our Franklin merger to create what we believe is the leading community bank in our markets. The team also executed on a $100 million subordinated debt offering and converted our online and mobile banking platform, all while producing excellent core earnings during the quarter. Our adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision ROAA of 3.13% and ROATCE of 35.1% are outstanding return metrics. We also believe we have been prudent with our balance sheet with strong capital ratios and a healthy allowance for credit losses ("ACL"), positioning us well for the future. Between the team's ability to execute in a less than ideal environment and the passion that they have shown for our customers and teammates, I have never been more proud to be part of the FirstBank team. We have built on relationships and developed trust with our customers and communities that will be a growth catalyst for years to come."

Holmes commented further, "Our core results were strong in a quarter that had multiple unusual items. We had a second consecutive quarter of record mortgage contribution, we added $2.44 billion in loans and $3.11 billion in deposits from the Franklin merger, we recorded an initial provision for credit losses of $63.3 million on the Franklin loans and we had merger-related expenses of $20.7 million. All tallied, we recorded adjusted earnings of $59.5 million and grew tangible book value per share to $20.87 versus $19.07 from the previous quarter."

Measured Growth and Enhanced Liquidity

The Company grew loans (HFI) to $7.21 billion, an increase of 66.0% year over year. Excluding Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, adjusted loans (HFI) were $6.90 billion, an increase of $2.39 billion from the second quarter of 2020. Excluding PPP loans and acquired loans, organic loans declined by $46.2 million from the second quarter to the third quarter, or 4.07% annualized. Contractual yield on loans decreased from 4.57% in the second quarter to 4.36% in the third quarter. The overall lower loan yields reflect the impact of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in the first half of 2020, and a lower interest rate environment.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company grew customer deposits by $3.06 billion to $9.00 billion, reflecting annualized linked quarter growth of 205.3% and year over year growth of 87.0%. Excluding acquired deposits, the Company grew customer deposits by $64.7 million to $6.00 billion, reflecting annualized quarterly growth of 4.34%. Included in this growth is an increase of $28.6 million in mortgage servicing related deposits. The Company's total cost of deposits declined by 9 basis points to 0.56% and the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased on a linked quarter basis to 0.76% from 0.92%. Loans (HFI) to deposits decreased to 79.3% during the third quarter of 2020 from 81.1% the previous quarter.

Additionally, during the quarter, on balance sheet liquidity increased to $1.59 billion, or 14.7% of tangible assets, from $988.5 million, or 14.0% of tangible assets in the second quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2020, investment securities increased by $413.1 million compared with the previous quarter to $1.16 billion, or 10.6% of total assets while cash and cash equivalents increased $344.8 million to $1.06 billion, compared with the second quarter of 2020, both a result of the Franklin acquisition.

The Company's net interest income for the quarter was $68.8 million, an increase from $55.3 million last quarter and $58.3 million for the third quarter of 2019. The Company's net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.28% for the third quarter, compared to 3.50% and 4.28% for the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019, respectively. Accretion related to purchased loans contributed 2 basis points to the NIM in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 6 and 15 basis points for the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019, respectively. Overall, the NIM for the third quarter of 2020 was impacted by a 28 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets partially offset by a 11 basis point decline in the rate on interest-bearing liabilities on a linked quarter basis. In addition to the lower interest rate environment, yield on average earning assets was impacted by the balance sheet mix, as average interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions increased to 9.05% of average earning assets in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to 7.91% for the previous quarter, while PPP loans with a contractual yield of 1.02% represented 3.69% of average earning assets in the third quarter of 2020.

Holmes commented, "Our team remained focused on serving and retaining our high quality banking relationships and maintaining our strong liquidity position. Net interest margin was impacted by the low rate environment and our strategy to maintain excess liquidity. As we move into the fourth quarter, we plan to utilize liquidity to pay down non-core deposits, deploy excess funds into loans, continue receiving payoffs of PPP loans, and allow higher cost time deposits to reprice, which should benefit the NIM."

Noninterest Income Continues to Benefit from Mortgage Production

Noninterest income was $97.0 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $81.5 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $38.1 million for the third quarter of 2019. Mortgage banking income was $84.7 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $72.2 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $29.2 million for the third quarter of 2019.

During the quarter, the Company produced strong results from the mortgage business driven by the lower interest rate environment and higher profit margins across the industry. Interest rate lock commitment volume totaled $2.42 billion in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $2.24 billion in the second quarter of 2020 and $1.64 billion in the third quarter of 2019.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company's total adjusted mortgage banking pre-tax direct contribution was $39.5 million, compared to $33.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2019, excluding $112 thousand of mortgage restructuring expenses.

Holmes commented, "I am very proud of our mortgage team for their performance in 2020, especially their efforts in the third quarter, as they delivered a record $39.5 million in direct contribution. The team has capitalized on the current interest rate environment through strong refinance volumes as well as new purchase originations. The operation has benefited from atypical margins, capacity constraints across the industry and a robust origination environment, partially offset by depressed servicing values and elevated prepayments of our serviced mortgages."

Noninterest Expenses and Efficiency Gains

Noninterest expenses were $118.1 million for the third quarter of 2020, including $20.7 million of merger-related expenses, compared to $80.6 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $62.9 million for the third quarter of 2019. On an adjusted basis, noninterest expense was $97.4 million for the third quarter of 2020, $79.0 million for the second quarter of 2020, and $62.5 million for the third quarter of 2019. The sequential quarter increase is primarily related to the Franklin merger and increased mortgage expenses, as core bank expenses remained relatively flat on a linked quarter basis due to the Company's expense control measures.

Holmes noted, "Controlled core bank noninterest expenses reflect our commitment to keeping costs contained. Expenses were elevated for the Company quarter over quarter due to merger expenses and our mortgage division, however the mortgage division continues to be very efficient and the merger expenses are one time versus operating expenses. The headwinds of a low interest rate environment will necessitate a focused approach as we continue to balance profitability, investment decisions, and capital deployment."

Asset Quality Remains Stable

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized total provision for credit losses of $55.4 million, including a provision for unfunded commitments of $9.6 million. The provision for credit losses reflects the impact of applying CECL accounting standards to the acquired Franklin loan portfolio contributing a $53.2 million provision (excluding unfunded commitments) in the quarter, versus a reduction of $7.3 million for the legacy FirstBank loan portfolio for a total provision (excluding unfunded commitments) of $45.8 million. CECL application also resulted in a provision for unfunded commitments of $10.0 million for the Franklin portfolio, versus a reduction of $0.4 million for the legacy FirstBank loan portfolio. The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet during uncertain economic times resulting in an ACL of $184.0 million, or 2.55% of loans HFI and 2.66% when adjusted to exclude PPP loans.

The Company's net recoveries to average loans were 0.01% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 0.00% in the second quarter of 2020 and net charge-offs of 0.05% in the third quarter of 2019. The Company's nonperforming assets decreased to 0.64% of total assets as of September 30, 2020, compared to 0.71% at June 30, 2020. Nonperforming loans were 0.61% of loans held for investment at September 30, 2020, compared to 0.72% at June 30, 2020. Deferrals resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic decreased to $464.8 million, or 6.4% of loans HFI as of September 30, 2020, compared to the aggregate balance deferred throughout the crisis of $1.64 billion.

Holmes commented, "Our credit metrics continued to reflect strong credit quality during the third quarter. We have seen an improvement in some pockets of the economy across our bank footprint as markets re-open. However, it is still early and we don't want to underestimate any impact to our loan portfolio."

Capital Well Positioned

"Our adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision earnings increased by 25.0% sequentially and offset provision expense related to the addition of the Franklin loan portfolio. Our already strong regulatory capital levels improved during the quarter. Our current level of tangible common equity to tangible assets of 9.16% positions us well for future growth opportunities and gives us capital options, including continuing our dividend strategy in the near term," commented Holmes.

Summary

Holmes further commented, "Our success in the third quarter has laid the foundation for us to capitalize on the efficiencies gained from our merger with Franklin and build upon our solid financial results. We will continue to navigate through the challenges and opportunities that come to us with a steady hand, keeping our customers and associates in focus while continuing to build a bright future for FB Financial."

GAAP RECONCILIATION AND USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Earnings Release contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include, without limitation, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted and unadjusted pre-tax pre-provision earnings, adjusted pre-tax pre-provision diluted earnings per share, adjusted and unadjusted pre-tax pre-provision earnings per share, core revenue, core noninterest expense and core noninterest income, core efficiency ratio (tax equivalent basis), Banking segment core efficiency ratio (tax equivalent basis), Mortgage segment core efficiency ratio (tax equivalent basis), adjusted mortgage contribution, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, adjusted pre-tax pre-provision return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average assets and equity, adjusted pre-tax pre-provision return on average assets and equity, core total revenue, adjusted allowance for credit losses, adjusted loans held for investment, and adjusted allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment, which excludes the impact of PPP loans. Each of these non-GAAP metrics excludes certain income and expense items that the Company’s management considers to be non-core/adjusted in nature. The Company refers to these non-GAAP measures as adjusted measures. The corresponding Supplemental Financial Information and Earnings Release Presentation also presents tangible assets, tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, return on tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity and adjusted return on average tangible common equity. Each of these non-GAAP metrics excludes the impact of goodwill and other intangibles.

The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance, financial condition and the efficiency of its operations as management believes such measures facilitate period-to-period comparisons and provide meaningful indications of its operating performance as they eliminate both gains and charges that management views as non-recurring or not indicative of operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods as well as demonstrate the effects of significant non-core gains and charges in the current and prior periods. The Company’s management also believes that investors find these non-GAAP financial measures useful as they assist investors in understanding the Company’s underlying operating performance and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. In addition, because intangible assets such as goodwill and other intangibles, and the other items excluded each vary extensively from company to company, the Company believes that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s results to the results of other companies. However, the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Company calculates the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. Investors should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures similar or with names similar to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has discussed herein when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures. See the “Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the corresponding non-GAAP reconciliation tables in the Supplemental Financial Information as well as “Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the Appendix in the Earnings Release Presentation dated October 27, 2020, for a discussion and reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
