October 27, 2022

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights:

  • Net income of $26.5 million, $1.04 per diluted share
  • Net interest margin of 4.26%
  • Return on average assets of 1.52%
  • Return on average equity of 14.50%
  • Loan growth of 12.5% annualized
  • 26.7% fee revenue to total revenue

FirstSun Capital Bancorp (“FirstSun”) (OTCQX: FSUN) reported net income of $26.5 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. Earnings per diluted share was $1.04 for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $0.46 for the third quarter of 2021.

Neal Arnold, FirstSun’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased with our results this quarter. We realized a healthy expansion in our net interest margin in large part due to our specialized commercial & industrial lending business focus. Our revenue mix remained strong this quarter and overall credit quality remains stable. While the overall macro-economic outlook appears to generally be slowing, we continue to see strength in the Southwest and Mountain West markets we are operating in. Our strong returns this quarter highlight the benefits of our diversified business model and the continued growth we are seeing and we look forward to future growth across each of our markets.”

Third Quarter 2022 Results

Net income totaled $26.5 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, during the prior quarter. Net income in the second quarter of 2022 was reduced by $16.8 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, in merger costs, net of tax. The return on average assets was 1.52% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 0.02% in the prior quarter, and the return on average equity was 14.50% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 0.23% in the prior quarter. Merger costs, net of tax, reduced return on average assets by 0.94% and return on average equity by 8.96% during the second quarter of 2022.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $68.5 million during the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $9.9 million compared to the prior quarter. Our net interest margin increased 70 basis points to 4.26% compared to the prior quarter. Results in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the prior quarter, were driven by an increase of 74 basis points in yield on earning assets, partially offset by an increase of eight basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Average loans increased by $0.2 billion in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the prior quarter. Loan yield increased by 60 basis points to 4.95% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to the rising interest rate environment and its impact on variable rate loans in the loan portfolio and higher yields on new originations. Average deposits decreased $0.2 billion in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the prior quarter. Total cost of deposits increased by 12 basis points to 0.33% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to increased pricing on our deposit products as a result of the rising interest rate environment. Average other long-term borrowings decreased $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the prior quarter. The cost of other long-term borrowings decreased by 226 basis points to 5.95% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to accelerated discount accretion on certain convertible notes paid off during the second quarter of 2022.

Asset Quality and Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses totaled $3.8 million during the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.3 million compared to the prior quarter. The decrease is primarily attributed to $2.9 million of provision for loan losses recognized during the second quarter of 2022 related to certain non-impaired acquired loans marked at a premium valuation upon the closing of the Pioneer Bancshares, Inc. (“Pioneer”) merger. The premium valuation on certain of the acquired loans was due to higher contractual interest rates compared to market interest rates upon closing of the Pioneer merger. In total, we realized a net discount valuation on the entire acquired portfolio. Due to the premium on certain of the loans, a provision for loan losses was required in the second quarter; however, it was not due to credit deterioration since closing of the Pioneer merger. Excluding the $2.9 million of provision for loan losses related to the acquired Pioneer loans, the provision for loan losses increased $1.6 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to loan growth and macroeconomic factors.

Net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2022 were $0.1 million, or a ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans of 0.01% annualized, compared to net recoveries of $0.6 million, or a ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans of (0.04)% annualized, in the prior quarter. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.07% at September 30, 2022, compared to 1.04% at June 30, 2022. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.68% at September 30, 2022, compared to 0.62% at June 30, 2022.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $25.0 million during the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.7 million from the prior quarter. Mortgage banking income increased $2.1 million during the third quarter of 2022 from the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio as prepayments are forecasted to slow due to the rising interest rate environment, partially offset by a decrease in net sale gains and fees from mortgage loan originations as the volume of mortgage loan sales decreased from the prior quarter. Total originations of mortgage loans held-for-sale decreased by $31.6 million, or 10.4%, in the third quarter of 2022 from the prior quarter. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue totaled 26.7% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 27.6% in the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $55.5 million during the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $20.1 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to the $18.4 million of merger related expenses incurred during the second quarter of 2022. The efficiency ratio for the third quarter was 59.4% compared to 93.6% in the prior quarter, or 70.7% in the prior quarter excluding the impact of the merger related expenses.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 22.3% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to (96.3)% in the prior quarter. In the second quarter of 2022, the effective tax rate was not meaningful due to the breakeven nature of income before income taxes.

Loans

Total loans were $5.6 billion at September 30, 2022, compared to $5.4 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of $0.2 billion in the third quarter of 2022, or 12.5% on an annualized basis, resulting primarily from growth in commercial and industrial and residential real estate balances.

Deposits

Average deposits were $5.8 billion at September 30, 2022, compared to $6.0 billion at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.2 billion in the third quarter of 2022, or 11.4% on an annualized basis. Deposit trends reflect a decrease in customer average balances as consumer and business liquidity overall has declined slightly. Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts represented 33.8% of total deposits at September 30, 2022 and the loan-to-deposit ratio was 96.5% at September 30, 2022.

Capital

Capital ratios remain strong and above “well-capitalized” thresholds. As of September 30, 2022, our common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 9.99%, total risk-based capital ratio was 12.06% and tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.55%. Book value per common share was $30.14 at September 30, 2022, an increase of $0.86 from June 30, 2022. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $25.67 at September 30, 2022, an increase of $0.91 from June 30, 2022.

  • the COVID-19 pandemic and its continuing effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate;
  • potential fluctuations or unanticipated changes in the interest rate environment, including interest rate changes made by the Federal Reserve, the discontinuation of LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark, and cash flow reassessments, may reduce net interest margin and/or the volumes and values of loans made or held as well as the value of other financial assets;
  • the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth;
  • the inability to efficiently manage operating expenses;
  • the impact of competition with other financial institutions, including pricing pressures and the resulting impact on FirstSun’s results, including as a result of compression to net interest margin;
  • deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers resulting in significant increases in loan losses and provisions for those losses;
  • changes in loan underwriting, credit review or loss reserve policies associated with economic conditions, examination conclusions, or regulatory developments;
  • adverse changes in asset quality and credit risk;
