KALISPELL, Mont., Jan. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: GBCI) reported net income of $50.7 million for the current quarter, a decrease of $31.2 million, or 38 percent, from the $81.9 million of net income for the prior year fourth quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the current quarter was $0.46 per share, a decrease of 47 percent from the prior year fourth quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.86. The decrease in fourth quarter earnings over the prior year was driven primarily by the $22.3 million of credit loss expense and $8.2 million of acquisition-related expenses from the acquisition of Altabank. In addition, there was a $14.8 million decrease in gain on sale of loans with the slowing of purchase and refinance activity after the historic levels in the prior year. The credit loss expense due to the acquisition of Altabank reflects the requirement to fully fund an allowance for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments post-acquisition. “The Glacier team ended 2021 on a high note with very strong net interest income and loan growth,” said Randy Chesler, President and Chief Executive Officer. “All of our Divisions across the West are extremely well positioned to thrive in 2022.”

Net income for 2021 was $285 million, an increase of $18.4 million, or 7 percent, from the $266 million net income from the prior year. Diluted earnings per share for the current year was $2.86 per share, an increase of 2 percent, from the diluted earnings per share of $2.81 for the same period last year.

On October 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Altabancorp, the parent company of Altabank, based in American Fork, Utah (collectively, “Alta”) and the largest community bank in Utah. Alta provides banking services to individuals and businesses in Utah with twenty-five banking offices from Preston, Idaho to St. George, Utah. Alta became the seventeenth division of the Company and significantly increased the Company’s presence in the State of Utah.

The Company’s results of operations and financial condition include the Alta acquisition beginning on the acquisition date and the following table discloses the preliminary fair value estimates of select classifications of assets and liabilities acquired:

Non-performing assets of $67.7 million at December 31, 2021 increased $16.5 million, or 32 percent, over the prior quarter which was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Alta. Non-performing assets increased $32.3 million, or 91 percent, over the prior year fourth quarter primarily as a result of the Alta acquisition and a single credit relationship. Non-performing assets as a percentage of subsidiary assets at December 31, 2021 was 0.26 percent compared to 0.24 percent in the prior quarter and 0.19 percent in the prior year fourth quarter.

Early stage delinquencies (accruing loans 30-89 days past due) of $50.6 million at December 31, 2021 increased $24.6 million from the prior quarter with a large portion of the increase primarily isolated to a single credit relationship. Early stage delinquencies increased $27.8 million from the prior year fourth quarter. Early stage delinquencies as a percentage of loans at December 31, 2021 was 0.38 percent, which was an increase of 15 basis points from prior quarter and an 18 basis points increase from prior year fourth quarter.

The current quarter credit loss expense of $28.0 million included $18.1 million of provision for credit loss on loans and $4.2 million of provision for credit loss on unfunded loan commitments from the acquisition of Alta. The credit loss expense due to the acquisition of Altabank reflects the requirement to fully fund an allowance for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments post-acquisition. Excluding the Alta acquisition, the current quarter credit loss expense was $5.7 million, including $1.2 million of credit loss from loans and $4.5 million of credit loss from unfunded loan commitments.

The allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACL”) as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31 2021 was 1.29 percent which was a 7 basis points decrease compared to the prior quarter and a 13 basis points decrease from the prior year fourth quarter. The decrease in the ACL as a percentage of total loans during the current year was driven by the improvement in the economic forecasts.

Net charge-offs for the current quarter were $616 thousand compared to $152 thousand for the prior quarter and $4.8 million from the same quarter last year.

The SBA Round 2 PPP program ended in early May 2021 after the available funds were fully drawn upon. During the first half of 2021, the Company originated $555 million of Round 2 PPP loans which generated $33.2 million of SBA deferred processing fees and $6.7 million of deferred compensation costs for total net deferred fees of $26.5 million.

During the current year, the SBA processing fees received on Round 2 averaged 5.99 percent which compared to the average of 3.75 percent received on Round 1 in the prior year. The increase in the fee percentage received on Round 2 was the result of an increase in the number of smaller loans which receive a higher percentage fee.

The Company received $201 million in PPP loan forgiveness during the current quarter and received $1.305 billion in 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $32.3 million remaining, or 2 percent of the $1.472 billion of Round 1 PPP loans originated in the prior year still to be forgiven and had $136 million remaining, or 25 percent of the $555 million of Round 2 PPP loans originated in the current year.

In the current quarter, the Company recognized $8.7 million of interest income (including deferred fees and costs) from the Round 1 and Round 2 PPP loans. The income recognized in the current quarter included $7.4 million acceleration of net deferred fees in interest income resulting from the SBA forgiveness of loans. Net deferred fees remaining on the balance of the PPP loans at December 31, 2021 were $5.1 million, which will be recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loans or when the loans are forgiven in whole or in part by the SBA.

Supplemental information regarding credit quality and identification of the Company’s loan portfolio based on regulatory classification is provided in the exhibits at the end of this press release. The regulatory classification of loans is based primarily on collateral type while the Company’s loan segments presented herein are based on the purpose of the loan.

Excluding the Alta acquisition, core deposits increased $560 million, or 13 percent annualized, from the prior quarter and increased $3.278 billion, or 22 percent, from the prior year fourth quarter. Non-interest bearing deposits of $7.779 billion as of December 31, 2021 organically increased $1.123 billion, or 21 percent, from the prior year fourth quarter. The unprecedented increase in deposits over the prior two years resulted from a number of factors including the PPP loan proceeds deposited by customers, federal stimulus deposits and the increase in customer savings. Non-interest bearing deposits were 37 percent of total core deposits at December 31, 2021 compared to 38 percent of total core deposits at September 30, 2021 and 37 percent at December 31, 2020.

The low levels of borrowings, including wholesale deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, reflected the significant increase in core deposits which funded the asset growth.

Net Interest Income
The current quarter net interest income of $188 million increased $25.0 million, or 15 percent, over the prior quarter and increased $21.9 million, or 13 percent, from the prior year fourth quarter. The increases were primarily attributable to the $25.6 million of net interest income from Alta bank division. The current quarter interest income of $193 million increased $26.1 million, or 16 percent, compared to the prior quarter and increased $21.5 million, or 13 percent, over the prior year fourth quarter due to an increase in interest income from Alta bank division. The interest income (which included deferred fees and deferred costs) from the PPP loans was $8.7 million in the current quarter, $12.9 million in the prior quarter and $21.5 million in the prior year fourth quarter.

The current quarter interest expense of $5.2 million increased $1.1 million, or 26 percent, over the prior quarter primarily as a result of the the addition of the Alta bank division. Interest expense decreased $347 thousand, or 6 percent, over the prior year fourth quarter primarily the result of a decrease in deposit rates. The total cost of funding (including non-interest bearing deposits) was 9 basis points in the current and prior quarter compared to 14 basis points in the prior year fourth quarter which was driven by a decrease in rates in deposits and borrowings.

The Company’s net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the current quarter was 3.21 percent compared to 3.39 percent in the prior quarter and 4.03 in the prior year fourth quarter. The core net interest margin, excluding 4 basis points of discount accretion, 2 basis points from non-accrual interest and 11 basis points increase from the PPP loans, was 3.04 percent compared to 3.17 in the prior quarter and 3.76 percent in the prior year fourth quarter. The core net interest margin decreased 13 basis points in the current quarter and decreased 72 basis points from the prior fourth quarter due to a decrease in earning asset yields. Earning asset yields have decreased due to the combined impact of the significant increase in the debt securities and the lower yields on both core loans and debt securities. Debt securities comprised 43.8 percent of the earning assets during the current quarter compared to 42.5 percent in the prior quarter and 31.8 percent in the prior year fourth quarter.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the current quarter totaled $34.4 million which was a decrease of $453 thousand, or 1 percent, over the prior quarter and a decrease of $10.3 million, or 23 percent, over the same quarter last year. Gain on the sale of loans of $11.4 million for the current quarter decreased $2.5 million, or 18 percent, compared to the prior quarter and decreased $14.8 million, or 56 percent, from the prior year fourth quarter. The current quarter mortgage activity was lower than prior periods as a result reduced mortgage purchase and refinance activity after the historic highs the Company recently experienced.

Service charges and other fees increased $2.4 million from the prior quarter and was primarily the result of the addition of Alta bank division. Service charges and other fees increased $3.9 million from the prior year fourth quarter as a result of increased customer accounts and transaction activity and activity from Alta bank division.

Total non-interest expense of $134 million for the current quarter increased $29.9 million, or 29 percent, over the prior quarter and increased $22.9 million, or 21 percent, over the prior year fourth quarter which was primarily driven by the acquisition of Alta. Excluding the Alta bank division and acquisition-related expenses, non-interest expense increased $5.3 million, or 5 percent, from the prior quarter and decreased $1.8 million, or 2 percent, from the prior year fourth quarter. The current quarter non-interest expense includes $17.0 million of expense from Alta bank division, $8.2 million of acquisition-related expenses, $806 thousand of increased compensation and employee benefits due to incremental overtime at several bank divisions, $1.1 million of expenses primarily due to branch upgrades, and $600 thousand of increased loan expense due to the loan growth.

Federal and State Income Tax Expense
Tax expense during the fourth quarter of 2021 was $9.3 million, a decrease of $7.7 million, or 45 percent, compared to the prior quarter and a decrease of $9.7 million, or 51 percent, from the prior year fourth quarter. The effective tax rate in the current quarter was 15.5 compared to 18.3 in the prior quarter and 18.8 percent in the prior year fourth quarter. The lower effective tax rate in the current quarter was attributable to lower taxable income.

Efficiency Ratio
The efficiency ratio was 57.68 percent in the current quarter compared to 50.17 percent in the prior quarter and 50.34 in the prior year fourth quarter. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, the efficiency ratio would have been 54.09 percent in the current quarter compared to 49.94 percent in the prior quarter and 50.11 percent in the prior year fourth quarter. The increase in efficiency ratio was driven by the decrease in gain on sale of loans and the increase in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income
Net-interest income of $663 million for 2021 increased $62.8 million, or 10 percent, over the same period in 2020 and included a $25.6 million increase from the acquisition of Alta. Interest income of $681 million for the current year increased $54.0 million, or 9 percent, from the prior year and was primarily attributable to a $26.9 million increase from the Alta bank division and a $22.5 million increase in interest income on debt securities. Interest income on debt securities increased $22.5 million, or 23 percent, over the prior year which resulted from the increased volume of debt securities. Interest expense of $18.6 million during 2021 decreased $8.8 million, or 32 percent over the prior year primarily as a result of a decrease in the cost of deposits. The total funding cost (including non-interest bearing deposits) for 2021 was 10 basis points, which decreased 9 basis points compared to 19 basis points in 2020.

The net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets, on a tax-equivalent basis, during 2021 was 3.42 percent, a 67 basis points decrease from the net interest margin of 4.09 percent for the same period in the prior year. The core net interest margin, excluding 4 basis points of discount accretion, 2 basis point of non-accrual interest and 12 basis points increase from the PPP loans, was 3.24 which was an 81 basis point decrease from the core margin of 4.05 percent in the prior year. Although the Company was successful in reducing the total cost of funding, it was not enough to outpace the lower yields on core loans and debt securities driven by the current interest rate environment and the shift in the earning asset mix to lower yielding debt securities.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income of $145 million for 2021 decreased $28.0 million, or 16 percent, over the same period last year. Gain on the sale of loans of $63.1 million for 2021 decreased $36.4 million, or 37 percent, compared to the same period last year which was the result of the anticipated slowing of purchase and refinance activity after the historically high levels in the prior year.

Service charges and other fees of $59.3 million for 2021 increased $6.8 million, or 13 percent, from prior year as a result of additional fees from increased customer accounts and transaction activity and the acquisition of Alta. Miscellaneous loan fees and charges of $12.0 million increased $4.7 million, or 64 percent, driven by increases in loan servicing income and credit card interchange fees due to increased activity. Other income of $11.0 million decreased $1.4 million, or 11 percent, from the prior year.

Included in the current year was $9.8 million of acquisition-related expenses and $17.0 million of expenses from the Alta bank division.

Advertising and promotions for 2021 increased $1.7 million, or 17 percent, from the prior year. Data processing expense increased $2.3 million, or 11 percent, from the prior year primarily from the acquisition of Alta. Regulatory assessment and insurance for 2021 increased $3.6 million from the prior year as a result of organic growth, the State of Montana waiving the first semi-annual regulatory assessment of 2020 and Small Bank assessment credits applied by the FDIC in the first quarter of 2020. Other expenses of $70.6 million, increased $3.8 million, or 6 percent, from the prior year. Current year other expenses included acquisition-related expenses of $9.8 million compared to $7.8 million in the prior year.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit loss expense was $23.1 million for 2021 compared to $39.8 million in 2020. Excluding the impact from the Alta and State Bank of Arizona acquisitions, the current year provision for credit loss expense on unfunded loan commitments was $2.5 million compared to a credit loss expense of $2.1 million in the prior year. Excluding the impact from the acquisitions, the current year provision for credit loss benefit on loans was $1.7 million compared to a credit loss expense of $32.8 million in the prior year which was primarily attributable to changes in the economic forecast related to COVID-19. Net charge-offs during the current year were $2.3 million compared to $7.7 million during the prior year.

Federal and State Income Tax Expense
Tax expense of $64.7 million in 2021 increased $3.0 million, or 5 percent, over the prior year same period. The effective tax rate for 2021 was 18.5 percent compared to 18.8 percent in the prior year same period.

Efficiency Ratio
The efficiency ratio was 51.35 percent for 2021 compared to 49.97 percent for the same period last year. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, the efficiency ratio was 50.16 in 2021 compared to 48.98 in 2020 and the increase was primarily driven by the reduction in gain on sale of loans. “The Bank divisions have worked diligently to control their expenses to achieve an efficiency ratio near 50 percent,” said Ron Copher, Chief Financial Officer.
