Sterling Bancorp Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Sterling Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBT) (“Sterling” or the “Company”), the holding company of Sterling Bank and Trust, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), today reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Net loss of $(0.5) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share
  • Net interest margin of 2.93%
  • Adopted Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) methodology on January 1, 2023, resulting in a $0.5 million increase (after tax) to retained earnings
  • Recorded provision for credit losses of $0.7 million; ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans held for investment of 2.48%
  • Non-interest expense of $17.8 million
  • Shareholders’ equity of $315.5 million
  • Company’s consolidated and Bank’s leverage ratio of 13.49% and 16.52%, respectively
  • Total deposits of $1.9 billion
  • Total gross loans held for investment of $1.6 billion
  • All debt securities are available for sale; none held to maturity
  • Reclassified $41.1 million of nonaccrual and delinquent residential loans as held for sale; with this reclassification there are virtually no nonperforming assets held for investment; reduced total nonperforming assets to $26.3 million, almost entirely comprised of nonaccrual residential loans held for sale
  • Entered into Plea Agreement with Department of Justice, resolving the investigation of the Bank and the Company relating to the Bank’s former Advantage Loan Program

The Company reported a net loss of $(0.5) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $(18.4) million, or $(0.37) per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

The Company reclassified approximately $41.1 million of nonaccrual and delinquent residential loans as held for sale with the intent to liquidate that exposure in the next few months. In reclassifying these loans, we recorded a $6.5 million charge off applied against the allowance for credit losses to reflect these loans at their estimated fair value of $34.6 million. The Bank engaged an independent third-party advisor to market the loans to multiple investors and has received several favorable bids.

“Sterling’s first quarter of 2023 results continue the very deliberate remediation and repositioning begun in 2020. As most are no doubt aware, we announced a settlement with the U. S. Department of Justice in their long running investigation of the ill-fated Advantage Loan Program. That settlement, when combined with last year’s settlement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, helps clear the uncertainty that has existed with these governmental investigations. Sterling is well positioned now with strong capital levels, abundant liquidity and exceptional asset quality,” said Thomas M. O’Brien, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

Balance Sheet

Total Assets – Total assets were $2.4 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $33.2 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2022.

Cash and due from banks increased $39.4 million, or 10%, to $419.2 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $379.8 million at December 31, 2022. Debt securities, all of which are available for sale, are of relatively short duration and which we consider part of our liquid assets, of $342.5 million at March 31, 2023 were relatively unchanged from December 31, 2022.

Total gross loans held for investment of $1.6 billion at March 31, 2023 declined $106.8 million, or 6%, from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2022. Loans held for sale of $38.0 million at March 31, 2023 increased $30.3 million from $7.7 million at December 31, 2022 primarily due to the reclassification of residential real estate loans from held for investment to held for sale.

Total Deposits – Total deposits were $1.9 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $32.2 million, or 2%, from December 31, 2022. Money market, savings and NOW deposits were $958.2 million, a decrease of $81.1 million, or 8%, from December 31, 2022. Time deposits were $917.2 million, an increase of $55.5 million, or 6%, compared to $861.7 million at December 31, 2022. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $46.5 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $53.0 million at December 31, 2022. Total estimated uninsured deposits were approximately 20.2% of total deposits at March 31, 2023 compared to 20.8% at December 31, 2022. Our customer deposit balances have remained relatively stable following the recent bank failures. Our current strategy is to continue to offer competitive interest rates on our deposit products to maintain our existing customer deposit base and help manage our liquidity.

Capital Total shareholders’ equity was $315.5 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $312.6 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders’ equity is primarily attributable to unrealized losses on our investment securities portfolio in accumulated other comprehensive loss that have recovered by $2.8 million since December 31, 2022 primarily due to changes in market value related to the shift in the interest rate yield curve.

The Company and the Bank have elected to opt into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio framework, effective January 1, 2023. As such, the Company and the Bank are not required to meet minimum standards under the risk-based capital rules. Instead, we are required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9.0% to be considered to have satisfied the risk-based and leverage capital requirements in the regulatory agencies’ generally applicable capital rules and to have met the well capitalized ratio requirements. At March 31, 2023, the consolidated Company’s and Bank’s leverage ratio were 13.49% and 16.52%, respectively.

Asset Quality and Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses – On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the CECL methodology under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, in which the allowance for credit losses reflects expected credit losses for the remaining estimated life of loans using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company decreased its allowance for credit losses by $1.7 million and established a liability for unfunded commitments of $0.6 million on the adoption date. Also on January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02 which eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings, as a result the Company increased the allowance for credit losses by $0.4 million on the adoption date. The adoption of these standards resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment, after tax, of $0.5 million increase to retained earnings.

A provision for credit losses of $0.7 million was recorded for the first quarter of 2023 compared to a recovery of $(0.2) million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2023 was $38.6 million, or 2.48% of total loans held for investment, compared to $45.5 million, or 2.74% of total loans held for investment, at December 31, 2022.

Net charge offs during the first quarter of 2023 were $6.4 million compared to net recoveries of $(0.3) million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net charge offs in the first quarter of 2023 primarily reflects the $6.5 million in charge offs of our recorded investment on those residential loans reclassified as held for sale, which also contributed to the decrease in our allowance for credit losses.

There were no loans held for investment in nonaccrual status at March 31, 2023, compared to $33.7 million at December 31, 2022. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2023, which includes nonaccrual loans held for sale at their fair value, totaled $26.3 million, or 1.09% of total assets, compared to $38.3 million, or 1.57% of total assets at December 31, 2022 and $54.1 million, or 1.93% of total assets, at March 31, 2022. The residential real estate loans that were reclassified from held for investment to held for sale in the first quarter of 2023 included all nonaccrual loans as we have commenced a process to liquidate that exposure.

“We have accomplished much in strengthening our balance sheet since 2020, and we are now focused on building profitability. In that time, we have removed most of the wholesale funding liabilities, including all broker deposits and high interest rate time deposits, and built a very comprehensive risk management framework and culture. In the first quarter of 2023, we adopted CECL and successfully completed our first SOX-compliant audit,” said O’Brien.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 was $17.7 million compared to $18.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $21.3 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in net interest income during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in interest expense on our average balance of interest-bearing deposits since the average rate paid during the first quarter of 2023 increased 63 basis points, partially offset by an increase in interest income earned on our average balance of interest-bearing assets since the average yield for the first quarter of 2023 increased 34 basis points.

The decrease in net interest income during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in interest expense on our average balance of interest-bearing liabilities since the average rate paid increased 174 basis points. This was partially offset by an increase in interest income as the average yield on our average balance of interest-bearing assets increased 133 basis points. The average balance in our loan portfolio declined $369.6 million, or 18%, from $2.0 billion at March 31, 2022 to $1.6 billion at March 31, 2023. Loan repayments continue to outpace new loan production as the result of our decisions to delay the development of new residential and commercial loan products and to stop originating construction loans.

The net interest margin of 2.93% for the first quarter of 2023 decreased from the net interest margin of 3.09% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and decreased from the net interest margin of 3.03% for the first quarter of 2022.

Non-Interest Income – Although non-interest income for the first quarter of 2023 was relatively flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, it reflected a decrease of $1.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2022 primarily as a result of declines in net servicing income of $0.4 million and approximately $0.4 million in recoveries of the loan valuation losses previously taken on the commercial real estate loan portfolio that was sold in the first quarter of 2022.

Non-Interest Expense – Non-interest expense of $17.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 reflected a decrease of $19.3 million, or 52%, compared to $37.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to the $18.2 million provision for contingent losses in the prior quarter reflecting the financial impact of the resolution of the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) investigation of the Company and Bank related to the Advantage Loan Program. On March 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Plea Agreement (the “Plea Agreement”) with the DOJ, resolving the DOJ’s investigation. Under the Plea Agreement, the Company has agreed to plead guilty to one count of securities fraud primarily relating to disclosures in certain securities law filings with respect to the Advantage Loan Program, pay $27.2 million in restitution and further enhance its compliance program and internal controls related to securities law compliance.

Professional fees were $2.7 million lower in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the prior quarter principally due to reimbursements received from an insurance carrier of $2.2 million for previously incurred direct and third party legal expenses related to the governmental investigations. The insurance reimbursements received in the current quarter also contributed to the decrease in non-interest expense from the first quarter of 2022.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)– For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $(54) thousand, or effective tax rate of 9.7%, compared to an income tax provision of $0.3 million, or effective tax rate of (1.5)% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Our effective tax rate varies from the statutory rate for the current quarter due to the impact of non-deductible compensation related expenses and from the prior quarter due to the impacts of non-deductible compensation and the provision for contingent losses of $18.2 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Mr. O’Brien said, “Of course, any discussion of early 2023 in the banking world would be lacking without a discussion of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank of New York. The epitaphs are still being written, but, in my experience, these crises can be distilled down to the consequences of not following the critical elements of proper risk management. Management must know their institution intimately along with its critical risks and exposures. Event risk is always pervasive and in no industry more so than banking. Too much focus on short-term, quarterly results often leads to a missed opportunity to address needed structural changes or repositioning. The lessons the finance world learned from the 1980s and 1930s in liquidity planning, especially for fast growing and volatile deposit concentrations, should have been burned into bank management training courses. It certainly does very few any good to have a stock price trade at $350 per share only to collapse to zero. These failures will undoubtedly have repercussions in our industry in the times ahead.

In all of that chaos, however, Sterling’s deposits held reasonably firm. In the first few days we had some minor account repositioning and some deposit amounts leave, while we also had some new money flow into the Bank. As of late April, our deposits levels were up over $25 million from the day before the failures. I should also point out that all of our securities are classified as available for sale with none in the opaque held to maturity classification. Like at most banks, the higher interest rate environment has encouraged our customers to look more favorably at CDs than had been the case in recent years. Consequently, margin pressures are being witnessed here and throughout the industry.”

(1) Loans are classified as held for investment and are presented before the allowance for credit losses.
(2) Total nonaccrual loans exclude nonaccrual loans held for sale. If nonaccrual loans held for sale are included, the ratio of total nonaccrual loans to total gross loans would be 1.65%, 2.14% and 2.73% at March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
(3) Other troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 exclude those loans presented above as nonaccrual or past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Effective January 1, 2023, loan modifications involving borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are evaluated under the new credit loss model. There were no such loan modifications during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
