“I’m always looking for improvement, but if the next three quarters show positive trends such as this quarter did, I think HOMB is poised for a great year. The period for January to March resulted in increases in net interest income, revenue, EPS, margin (when adjusting for excess liquidity), loans and deposits along with strong liquidity while lowering our efficiency ratio. In addition, we reduced non-interest expense by $3 million, quarter over quarter. Any questions?” said John Allison, Chairman and CEO of HOMB.

Liquidity and Funding Sources

At March 31, 2024, the Company held $2.67 billion in net available internal liquidity. This balance consisted of $1.58 billion in unpledged investment securities which could be used for additional secured borrowing capacity, $924.1 million in cash with the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and $160.7 million in other liquid cash accounts.

Consistent with the Company’s practice of maintaining access to significant external liquidity, the Company had $3.11 billion in net available external liquidity as of March 31, 2024. This included $4.75 billion in available liquidity with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), of which $1.84 billion has been drawn upon in the ordinary course of business, resulting in $2.91 billion in net available liquidity with the FHLB as of March 31, 2024. The $1.84 billion consisted of $600.0 million in outstanding FHLB advances and $1.24 billion used for pledging purposes. The Company also had access to approximately $798.3 million in liquidity with the FRB as of March 31, 2024, of which $700.0 million has been drawn upon in the ordinary course of business, resulting in $98.3 million in net available liquidity with the FRB as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company also had access to $55.0 million from First National Bankers’ Bank (FNBB) and $45.0 million from other various external sources.

The Company has continued to limit its exposure to uninsured deposits and has been actively monitoring this in light of the current banking environment. As of March 31, 2024, the Company held approximately $8.42 billion in uninsured deposits of which $602.4 million were intercompany subsidiary deposit balances and $3.03 billion were collateralized deposits, for a net position of $4.79 billion. This represents approximately 28.4% of total deposits. In addition, net available liquidity exceeded uninsured and uncollateralized deposits by $987.0 million.

(in thousands)As of
March 31, 2024
Uninsured Deposits$8,415,764 
Intercompany Subsidiary and Affiliate Balances 602,351 
Collateralized Deposits 3,026,129

Total Available Liquidity$5,774,260 
Net Uninsured Position 4,787,284 
Net Available Liquidity in Excess of Uninsured Deposits$986,976 
 

In the event the Company’s $4.79 billion net position of uninsured deposits had been called by depositors on the first day of the first quarter of 2024 and the Company utilized available funding, which remained outstanding during the entire quarter, the Company estimates that interest expense would have increased by approximately $71.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The outflow of deposits could have been funded through available sources of liquidity without selling our investment securities. In this event, because of the high profitability levels of HOMB, the Company estimates that it would still have achieved return on average assets (ROA) of 1.27% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Operating Highlights

Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was $100.1 million, or $0.50 diluted earnings per share. When adjusting for non-fundamental items, net income and diluted earnings per share on an as-adjusted basis (non-GAAP), were $99.2 million(1) and $0.49 per share(1), respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Our net interest margin was 4.13% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to 4.17% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company held excess liquidity of approximately $500.0 million which was dilutive to the net interest margin by 10 basis points. The yield on loans was 7.37% and 7.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, as average loans increased from $14.34 billion to $14.49 billion. Additionally, the rate on interest bearing deposits increased to 2.93% as of March 31, 2024, from 2.80% as of December 31, 2023, while average interest-bearing deposits increased from $12.48 billion to $12.72 billion.

During the first quarter of 2024, there was $1.1 million of event interest income compared to $120,000 of event interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Purchase accounting accretion on acquired loans was $2.8 million and $2.3 million and average purchase accounting loan discounts were $24.8 million and $27.4 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $205.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, and $203.9 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023. This increase in net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, was the result of a $10.5 million increase in interest income, partially offset by an $8.9 million increase in interest expense. The $10.5 million increase in interest income was primarily the result of a $6.2 million increase in income from interest-bearing balances due from banks and a $5.3 million increase in loan interest income, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in investment income. The increase in interest income is a result of the current high interest rate environment. The $8.9 million increase in interest expense was due to a $4.6 million increase in interest expense on deposits and a $4.4 million increase in interest expense on FHLB and other borrowed funds. The increase in interest expense is also a result of the current high interest rate environment.

The Company reported $41.8 million of non-interest income for the first quarter of 2024. The most important components of first quarter non-interest income were $10.2 million from other service charges and fees, $9.7 million from service charges on deposit accounts, $7.4 million from other income, $5.1 million from trust fees, $3.6 million in mortgage lending income, $3.0 million from dividends from FHLB, FRB, FNBB and other, $1.2 million from the increase in cash value of life insurance and $1.0 million from the fair value adjustment for marketable securities.

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2024 was $111.5 million. The most important components of non-interest expense were $60.9 million from salaries and employee benefits, $26.9 million in other operating expense, $14.6 million in occupancy and equipment expenses and $9.1 million in data processing expenses. For the first quarter of 2024, our efficiency ratio was 44.22%, and our efficiency ratio, as adjusted (non-GAAP), was 44.43%(1).

The increase in stockholders’ equity is primarily associated with the $63.9 million increase in retained earnings, partially offset by the $24.0 million in stock repurchases and $22.4 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income. Book value per common share was $18.98 at March 31, 2024, compared to $18.81 at December 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures--including net income (earnings), as adjusted; pre-tax, pre-provision, net income (PPNR); PPNR, as adjusted; pre-tax net income, as adjusted, to total revenue (net); pre-tax, pre-provision, profit percentage; pre-tax, pre-provision, profit percentage, as adjusted; diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted; return on average assets, as adjusted; return on average assets excluding intangible amortization; return on average assets, as adjusted, excluding intangible amortization; return on average common equity, as adjusted; return on average tangible common equity; return on average tangible common equity, as adjusted; return on average tangible common equity excluding intangible amortization; return on average tangible common equity, as adjusted, excluding intangible amortization; efficiency ratio, as adjusted; tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets--to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant items or transactions that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s primary business operating results. Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s business. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables of this release.
