IDAHO FALLS, ID / ACCESSWIRE / April 25, 2023 / Bank of Idaho Holding Company (the "Company") (OTCQX:BOID), the holding company for Bank of Idaho (the "Bank"), today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company reported consolidated net income of $1,589,000, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023. This compares to $2,594,000, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and $1,665,000 or $0.64 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022.

"We are pleased to share Bank of Idaho's strong performance and continued growth in Q1 2023," said Jeff Newgard, Chairman, President, and CEO of Bank of Idaho. "While year over year growth in metrics like total deposits and loans held for investment benefited from our Washington branch acquisition in Q3 2022, we are proud to show favorable growth in Q1 2023 over Q4 2022 with further positive increase in our tangible book value per share. These results reflect our continued financial strength and highlight our commitment to delivering value to our customers and shareholders while maintaining steady growth."

Quarterly Summary

  • Loans held for investment grew $43.8 million (6.3%) in Q1 2023 and increased $246.3 million (49.6%) from Q1 2022. The size of the increase from the prior year was impacted by the acquisition of five HomeStreet Bank branches in the third quarter of 2022.
  • Total deposits increased $8.6 million (1.0%) in Q1 2023 and were up $169.7 million (25.1%) from Q1 2022. The deposit increase was also favorably impacted by the purchased branches.
  • Pre-tax, pre-provision net income of $3.17 million in Q1 2023, compared to $3.58 million in Q4 2022 and $2.33 million in Q1 2022.
  • Tangible book value per share increased to $23.33, up 4.1%, from $22.42 at Q4 2022, and was up 5.2% from $22.18 at Q1 2022.

Operating Results

Net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $1,589,000, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2,594,000, or $0.58 per diluted share, for Q4 2022, and $1,665,000, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year. The drop from the prior quarter was the result of a reduction in net interest income ($320,000), combined with an increase in the provision for loan loss ($890,000).

Net interest income for Q1 2023 was $11.6 million, a decrease of $320,000 (2.7%), over the prior quarter as increases in interest expense outpaced increases in interest income. The effect of higher rates on deposits is more impactful since we have moved from an almost zero percent deposit rate environment. When interest rates were near zero, depositors weren't rewarded sufficiently to move excess funds to higher-earning deposit categories. In our new rate environment, customers are motivated to find higher rates and manage their excess funds more diligently, which has made the rate increases even more pronounced for deposit interest expense.

Net interest margin (bank) for the first quarter of 2023 at 5.02% was largely flat from 5.01% in the fourth quarter of 2022. Although the cost of deposits increased faster than loan yields in the first quarter, the shift from lower-yielding assets to loans helped mitigate the rate change differential between funding costs and earning asset yields. Relative to the first quarter of 2022, the consolidated net interest margin increased from approximately 3.48%, primarily due to increased asset yields attributable to the rising interest rate environment and higher average loan and securities balances.

Noninterest income including net gains and losses for Q1 2023 was $1,154,000, an increase of $370,000 (47.2%) from $784,000 in Q4 2022. The increase was attributable to securities sales which improved from a loss of $270,000 in Q4 2022 to a gain of $125,000, for an increase of $395,000. Relative to the first quarter of 2022, noninterest income declined $502,000 (30.3%), due to lower mortgage banking income as higher interest rates drove declines in both refinance and purchase volume.

Noninterest expense of $9.6 million in Q1 2023 was a $461,000 (5.1%) increase from $9.1 million in Q4 2022 and a $3.4 million (55.8%) increase from $6.1 million in Q1 2022. The Q1 2023 increase was attributable to compensation expenses, which increased $927,000 (18.2%) from Q4 2022. Market salary pressures persist, and compensation has increased to allow the Company to continue to retain and attract employees. Commissions related to loans held for investment also increased, reflecting the Bank's loan growth. The $3.4mm increase from Q1 2022, includes the addition of the offices and staff added with the purchase of five HomeStreet branches in the third quarter of 2022, plus the addition of branches in Pasco, Washington and Boise, Idaho. The Company's efficiency ratio was 75.08% for Q1 2023, compared to 71.74% for Q4 2022, and 72.46% for Q1 2022.

Total assets were $992.1 million at March 31 ,2023, an increase of $11.9 million (1.2%) from $980.2 million at December 31, 2022. First quarter 2023 balance sheet activity was characterized by $43.8 million (6.3%) growth in loans funded by an $8.6 million (1.0%) increase in deposits, a $16.3 million (9.5%) decrease in available for sale securities, and a $13.5 million (28.2%) reduction in interest-bearing deposits held at the Federal Reserve and other financial institutions.

Loans held for investment were $743.1 million as of March 31,2023, an increase of $43.8 million (6.3%) from $699.3 million as of December 31, 2022, and an increase of $246.3 million (49.6%) from $496.9 million as of March 31, 2022. The increase in total loans held for investment from December 30, 2022 was attributable to loan growth distributed amongst all loan categories, with the largest increase in the Bank's commercial and commercial real estate portfolios. The increase in total loans held for investment from March 31, 2022 was attributable to loan growth distributed amongst all loan segments with the largest increase in commercial real estate. Growth from Q1 2022 was driven by the Bank's expansion into the Boise, Idaho metropolitan area as well as the Washington branch acquisition.

Deposits were $847.3 million as of March 31, 2023, up $8.6 million (1.0%) for the first quarter of the year. Relative to the first quarter of 2022, total deposits increased $169.7 million (25.1%) from $677.6 million as of March 31, 2022, driven by deposits acquired with the Washington branch purchase and organic deposit growth. Noninterest bearing deposits represented 38% of total deposits as of March 31, 2023, compared to 42% at December 31, 2022 and 40% at March 31, 2022.

Borrowings of $24.9 million as of March 31, 2023, primarily consisted of $24.6 million of Company subordinated debentures and were consistent with the December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, balances of $24.9 million and $24.9 million, respectively. Operating lease liabilities decreased $215,000 (3.7%) in Q1 2023 to $5.6 million and are up $1.6 million (38.3%) when compared to March 31, 2022.

Asset quality measures were stable to improving in Q1 2023. Nonaccrual loans totaled $621,000, or 0.08% of loans, as of March 31, 2023, compared to $669,000 (0.10% of loans) at December 31, 2022 and $1.9 million (0.38% of loans) at March 31, 2022. The Company had no other real estate owned for Q1 2023, Q4 2022, or Q1 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures included in this press release are not measures of financial performance recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include "efficiency ratio," "tangible common equity," "tangible common equity to tangible assets," "tangible book value per share," and "pre-tax pre-provision net income." Efficiency ratio is computed by dividing total noninterest expense, including intangible expense, by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, including gains and losses. Tangible common equity is computed by subtracting goodwill and core deposit intangibles from total stockholders' equity. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is computed by dividing total assets, less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, by tangible common equity. Tangible book value per share is computed by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding. Pre-tax pre-provision net income is computed by adding provision for loan loss expense and income tax expense to net income. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors with a more complete understanding of the Company's financial position and performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies.
