LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bank OZK (the “Bank”) (Nasdaq: OZK) today announced that net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $130.3 million, a 19.3% increase from $109.3 million for the third quarter of 2020. Diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2021 were $1.00, a 19.0% increase from $0.84 for the third quarter of 2020.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net income was $429.2 million, a 150.5% increase from $171.4 million for the first nine months of 2020. Diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2021 were $3.30, a 150.0% increase from $1.32 for the first nine months of 2020.

As a result of improved economic conditions and prospects for improvement in the U.S. economy, management recorded negative provision for credit losses of $7.5 million during the third quarter and $69.9 million during the first nine months of 2021, reducing the Bank’s total allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) from $377.3 million at December 31, 2020 to $298.8 million at September 30, 2021. The Bank’s provision for credit losses was $7.2 million during the third quarter and $196.9 million during the first nine months of 2020, reflecting significant economic uncertainty at that time.

The Bank’s results for the first nine months of 2021 included pretax gains of $4.4 million from the sale of its South Carolina branches and $1.4 million of tax-exempt bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) death benefits, both of which were recognized during the first quarter of 2021. The Bank had no gains from branch sales and had $0.6 million of tax-exempt BOLI death benefits during the first nine months of 2020.

Pre-tax pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”) was $163.5 million for the third quarter of 2021, a 12.3% increase from $145.7 million for the third quarter of 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, PPNR was $489.0 million, a 17.3% increase from $417.0 million for the first nine months of 2020. The calculation of PPNR and the reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are included in the schedules accompanying this release.

The Bank’s annualized returns on average assets, average common stockholders’ equity and average tangible common stockholders’ equity for the third quarter of 2021 were 1.98%, 11.41% and 13.39%, respectively, compared to 1.63%, 10.48% and 12.52%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2020. The Bank’s annualized returns on average assets, average common stockholder’s equity and average tangible common stockholders’ equity for the first nine months of 2021 were 2.15%, 12.98% and 15.31%, respectively, compared to 0.90%, 5.55%, and 6.65%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2020. The calculation of the Bank’s return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity and the reconciliation to GAAP are included in the schedules accompanying this release.

George Gleason, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are pleased to report our highest level of quarterly RESG loan originations since 2017 along with record net interest income for the quarter just ended. Our strong capital and liquidity, disciplined credit culture and outstanding team have us well positioned for the future.”

SUBORDINATED DEBT REDEMPTION AND OFFERING

On July 1, 2021, the Bank redeemed all of its $225 million of 5.50% Fixed-to-Floating rate Subordinated Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the subordinated notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. As a result of the subordinated debt redemption, the Bank recognized approximately $0.8 million in remaining unamortized debt issue cost as non-interest expense during the third quarter of 2021.

On September 16, 2021, the Bank completed its public offering of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.75% Fixed-to-Floating rate Subordinated Notes (the “2.75% Notes”) due 2031, which will initially bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.75% per annum until September 30, 2026. On October 1, 2026, the 2.75% Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to a benchmark (which is expected to be three-month SOFR) plus 209 basis points. The 2.75% Notes are unsecured, subordinated debt obligations and mature on October 1, 2031, and the Bank expects to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, financing organic growth or strategic acquisitions, repurchase of shares of the Bank’s common stock, supporting the Bank’s regulatory capital levels and ongoing working capital needs. As of September 30, 2021, the Bank’s subordinated debt had a carrying value of $345.9 million and remaining unamortized debt issuance cost of $4.1 million.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In July 2021, the Bank adopted a stock repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to $300 million of the Bank’s outstanding shares of common stock. During the quarter just ended, the Bank repurchased 888,567 shares at a weighted average cost of $41.61, for a total of $37.0 million. The timing and amount of future repurchases will be determined by management based on a variety of factors such as the Bank’s capital position, liquidity, financial performance and alternative uses of capital, stock price, regulatory requirements and general market and economic conditions. The repurchase program may be suspended by the Bank at any time.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Bank uses these non-GAAP financial measures, specifically return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per common share, total tangible common stockholders’ equity, the ratio of total tangible common stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets, and PPNR, to assess the strength of its capital, its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders and trends in its net revenue. These measures typically adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude intangible assets or provision for credit losses. Management believes presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information which contributes to a proper understanding of the financial results and capital levels of the Bank. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other banks. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release under the caption “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

(1)   The interest expense and the rates for “other borrowings” and for “subordinated debentures” were affected by capitalized interest. Capitalized interest included in other borrowings totaled $0.02 million for the third quarter $0.07 million for the first nine months of 2021 compared to $0.03 million for the third quarter and $0.65 million for the first nine months of 2020. In the absence of this interest capitalization, the rates on other borrowings would have been 0.54% for the third quarter and 0.55% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to 0.59% for the third quarter and 0.53% for the first nine months of 2020. Capitalized interest included in subordinated debentures totaled $0.01 million for the third quarter and $0.18 million for the first nine months of 2020 (none in the third quarter or first nine months of 2021). In the absence of this interest capitalization, the rates on subordinated debentures would have been 3.27% for the third quarter and 4.00% for the first nine months of 2020.

(2)   Core spread is the difference between the yield on the Bank’s non-purchased loans-FTE and the rate on its interest bearing deposits.
