Eastern Bankshares, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Jan 28, 2021 11:55 pm
BOSTON -- 

Eastern Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company,” or together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, “Eastern”) (NASDAQ Global Select Market: EBC), the stock holding company of Eastern Bank, today announced 2020 fourth quarter financial results and the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend.

Concurrent with its mutual-to-stock conversion and as described in the prospectus for its initial public offering (“IPO”), the Company made a one-time donation of 7.5 million shares of common stock to the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation (“EBCF”) at a total market value of $91.3 million. This contribution resulted in a net loss of $44.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, or $0.26 per share, compared to net income of $28.5 million reported for the prior quarter. Operating net income* was $31.6 million for the quarter, or $0.18 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $32.3 million reported for the prior quarter.

“We are very pleased with our operating results for the fourth quarter as well as our dividend initiation, and thank our colleagues for their outstanding efforts,” said Bob Rivers, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Eastern Bankshares, Inc. and Eastern Bank. “We are thrilled to have completed our stock offering and to be trading publicly, which are major steps forward in building upon our more than 202-year history of providing competitive financial products and services and an outstanding customer experience. As I reflect on the year, I’m especially proud of the 8,800 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans totaling $1.1 billion that we delivered to businesses in need, the third most among lenders in Massachusetts. This is all being accomplished during the COVID-19 pandemic which has had, and continues to have, an adverse effect on our customers, colleagues and the markets in which we operate. We continue to carefully monitor and adapt to it, while keeping the safety and well-being of our colleagues and customers a priority.”

“The transformative, one-time donation of $91.3 million of stock to the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation, a condition of the stock offering, positions our Foundation to continue to support the communities we serve and address society’s most vexing challenges in a meaningful way,” added Rivers.

The Company also announced the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share as part of its capital management strategy.

Rivers continued, “Given our Company’s current strength and our history of generating strong cash flows, we believe that we can both invest in the business and return capital to shareholders. Our initiation of a quarterly dividend demonstrates our confidence in our ability to drive growth and effectively deploy capital while delivering value to our shareholders.”

SELECTED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net loss was $44.1 million, or $0.26 per share, for the fourth quarter due to the stock contribution to the EBCF.
  • Operating net income* was $31.6 million, or $0.18 per share, for the fourth quarter.
  • Book value and tangible book value per share* were $18.36 and $16.34, respectively, at December 31, 2020.
  • At December 31, 2020, $332.7 million in loan balances remained under modified payment terms due to the COVID-19 pandemic, down from $701.2 million at September 30, 2020. Provision for credit losses was $900 thousand in the fourth quarter compared to $700 thousand in the prior quarter.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets were $16.0 billion at December 31, 2020, representing an increase of $503.6 million or 3% from September 30, 2020.

  • Available-for-sale securities increased $976.2 million, or 44% on a consecutive quarter basis, to $3.2 billion, as excess liquidity was deployed into U.S. Agency securities. Cash and equivalents declined to $2.1 billion from $2.3 billion, a $274.0 million quarter over quarter decline.
  • Total loans were $9.7 billion, representing a decrease of $213.7 million or 2% from the prior quarter as paydowns outpaced new originations. The main contributing factor was the forgiveness or paydown of PPP loans which totaled $97.4 million for the fourth quarter, reducing total PPP loans to $1.0 billion.
  • Deposits totaled $12.2 billion representing a decrease of $1.2 billion, or 9%, from September 30, 2020. The decline in deposits resulted primarily from the use of funds on deposit by certain deposit holders to satisfy their stock subscription orders during the Company’s IPO in the fourth quarter.
  • Shareholders’ equity was $3.4 billion, representing an increase of $1.7 billion or 100% from the prior quarter. The increase was attributable to the capital raised during the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion and IPO completed on October 14, 2020.
  • As previously disclosed, the Company converted its defined benefit plan to a cash balance defined benefit plan during the period which resulted in a $54.9 million after-tax increase to other comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity.
  • At December 31, 2020, book value per share was $18.36 and tangible book value per share* was $16.34. Please refer to Appendix H for a quarter over quarter comparison of equity accounts.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $103.6 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $98.7 million in the prior quarter, representing an increase of $4.9 million. Included in net interest income in the fourth quarter was a favorable $3.8 million nonrecurring item. Also included in net interest income was $4.1 million and $6.1 million of SBA PPP fee accretion net of deferred cost amortization in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. The increase in PPP fee recognition on a consecutive quarter basis was attributable to an increase in PPP loan forgiveness rates in the fourth quarter. Between September 30 and December 31, 2020, $97.4 million in PPP loans were forgiven through the SBA or otherwise paid down.

The net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent (FTE) basis* was 2.84% for the fourth quarter, representing a 20 basis points decrease from the prior quarter primarily due to the Company’s excess liquidity.

Please refer to Appendix E for a four-quarter trend analysis of the adjusted core margin*.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $49.6 million for the fourth quarter, compared to $47.7 million for the prior quarter, representing an increase of $1.9 million.

  • Insurance commissions increased $0.6 million to $22.4 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $21.9 million in the prior quarter and included a $1.2 million nonrecurring item.
  • Service charges on deposit accounts increased $1.0 million on a consecutive quarter basis to $6.0 million, primarily driven by higher account analysis service charges.
  • Loan-level interest rate swap revenue was $2.5 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $1.3 million in the prior quarter, representing an increase of $1.2 million primarily driven by an increase in the fair value of these interest rate swap transactions.
  • Income on securities held in rabbi trust accounts was $5.5 million in the fourth quarter compared to $3.8 million in the prior quarter, an increase of $1.7 million as strong equity market gains continued in the fourth quarter.
  • Mortgage origination activity was strong in the fourth quarter with the gain on sale of loans totaling $3.3 million, up $1.1 million from the prior quarter. This was mostly offset by a $3.1 million reduction in the gain/loss on commitments to sell mortgage loans which is recorded in other income.

Please refer to Appendix B for a reconciliation of operating revenues and expenses.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense was $199.2 million for the fourth quarter representing an increase of $89.4 million, or 81%, from the prior quarter noninterest expense of $109.8 million. Fourth quarter noninterest expense included costs associated with the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion. Excluding expenses related to the mutual-to-stock conversion and certain other non-operating items, noninterest expense on an operating basis* for the third and fourth quarters was $100.8 million and $101.8 million, respectively.

  • Charitable contributions expense in the fourth quarter included $91.3 million in expense from the donation of shares of the Company to the EBCF in connection with the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion and IPO. The Company established a $12.0 million deferred tax valuation allowance in connection with the contribution.
  • Salaries and benefits were $70.3 million in the fourth quarter, representing an increase of $3.7 million from the prior quarter primarily due to employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) contribution expense of $2.4 million and higher defined contribution supplemental employee retirement plan expense associated with the mark-to-market increase in rabbi trust accounts of $1.4 million noted above.
  • Other noninterest expense declined from $12.6 million in the prior quarter to $6.2 million in the fourth quarter, a decline of $6.4 million. The Company recorded impairment charges on tax credit investments of $7.6 million and $3.2 million in the third and fourth quarter, respectively. Included in other noninterest expense are components of the Company’s pension expense which were $1.3 million lower in the fourth quarter compared to the prior quarter. However, this was offset by an increase in pension service cost which is included in salary and benefit expense.

Please refer to Appendix B for a reconciliation of operating revenues and expenses.

ASSET QUALITY

The allowance for credit losses was $113.0 million at December 31, 2020, or 1.16% of total loans, compared to $115.4 million or 1.16% of total loans at September 30, 2020. The Company recorded a fourth quarter provision for credit losses of $0.9 million, compared to $0.7 million in the prior quarter. The Company followed the incurred loss allowance GAAP accounting model at December 31, 2020 and all preceding periods.

Non-performing loans totaled $43.3 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $44.8 million at the end of the prior quarter. The consecutive quarter decline was driven by reduction in nonperforming residential mortgage loans of $0.7 million, a reduction in nonperforming consumer loans of $0.6 million, and a reduction in nonperforming commercial loans of $0.3 million. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded total net charge-offs of $3.3 million, or 0.13% of average total loans on an annualized basis compared to $1.9 million and 0.08% in the prior quarter, respectively.

Through June 30, 2020, approximately $946.0 million of loans had been modified due to COVID-19. Loans were modified on full or partial payment deferral pursuant to the criteria established in federal requirements for COVID-19-related loan relief. Most modifications were for a term of six months. At December 31, 2020, approximately $332.7 million in COVID-19 modified loans remained under modified payment terms, down from $701.2 million at September 30, 2020.

Please refer to Appendix F and Appendix G for detail on the Company’s lending exposure to industries which management believes are most likely to experience adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a detailed breakout on COVID-19 related loan modifications.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

*Denotes a non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release.

A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of the Company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding (or including) amounts that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) in the Company’s statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements).

The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, which management uses to evaluate the Company’s performance, and which exclude the effects of certain transactions that management believes are unrelated to its core business and are therefore not necessarily indicative of its current performance or financial position. Management believes excluding these items facilitates greater visibility for investors into the Company’s core businesses as well as underlying trends that may, to some extent, be obscured by inclusion of such items in the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

There are items in the Company’s financial statements that impact its financial results, but which management believes are unrelated to the Company’s core business. Accordingly, the Company presents noninterest income on an operating basis, total operating revenue, noninterest expense on an operating basis, operating net income, operating earnings per share, operating return on average assets, operating return on average shareholders’ equity, the operating efficiency ratio, and the ratio of noninterest income to total revenue on an operating basis. Each of these figures excludes the impact of such applicable items because management believes such exclusion can provide greater visibility into the Company’s core business and underlying trends. Such items that management does not consider to be core to the Company’s business include (i) income and expenses from investments held in rabbi trusts, (ii) gains and losses on sales of securities available for sale, net, (iii) gains and losses on the sale of other assets, (iv) rabbi trust employee benefits, (v) impairment charges on tax credit investments and associated tax credit benefits, (vi) expenses indirectly associated with the Company’s IPO, (vii) other real estate owned gains, (viii) merger and acquisition expenses, and (ix) the stock donation to the EBCF in connection with the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion and IPO. The Company does not provide an outlook for its total noninterest expense because it contains expense components, such as expense associated with rabbi trust accounts, which is market-driven, over which the Company cannot exercise control. Accordingly a reconciliation of the Company’s outlook for its noninterest expense on an operating basis to an outlook for total noninterest expense cannot be made available without unreasonable effort.

Management also presents the Company’s core net interest margin which excludes the impact of items management determines as being one-time in nature or not indicative of its core operating results. Such items include the impact of excess liquidity in the form of excess cash volume, PPP loans originated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and material purchase accounting adjustments. Similarly, management presents certain asset quality metrics excluding PPP loans which it does not consider to be part of the Company’s core portfolios. These metrics include the ratio of total nonperforming loans to total loans excluding PPP loans, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding PPP loans, and the ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average total loans excluding PPP loans. The Company anticipates that the vast majority of its PPP loans outstanding at December 31, 2020 will be forgiven during 2021, and to the extent not forgiven, a PPP loan is intended to be 100% guaranteed by the SBA.

Management also presents tangible assets, tangible shareholders’ equity, tangible book value per share, and the ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets, each of which excludes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets, as management believes these financial measures provide investors with the ability to further assess the Company’s performance, identify trends in its core business and provide a comparison of its capital adequacy to other companies. The Company included the tangible ratios because management believes that investors may find it useful to have access to the same analytical tools used by management to assess performance and identify trends.

These non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release should not be considered an alternative or substitute for financial results or measures determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indication of the Company’s cash flows from operating activities, a measure of its liquidity position or an indication of funds available for its cash needs. An item which management considers to be non-core and excludes when computing these non-GAAP measures can be of substantial importance to the Company’s results for any particular period. In addition, management’s methodology for calculating non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methodologies employed by other banking companies to calculate the same or similar performance measures, and accordingly, the Company’s reported non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the same or similar performance measures reported by other banking companies. Please refer to Appendices A-E for a reconciliations of the Company's GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures in this press release.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding anticipated future events and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can identify these statements from the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “target” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. There are many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results described in the forward-looking statements.

Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include developments in the Company’s market relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the severity and duration of the associated economic slowdown, adverse developments in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, general economic conditions or conditions within the securities markets, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business in which the Company and its subsidiary Eastern Bank are engaged. For further discussion of such factors, please see the Company’s most recent reports on Forms S-1 and 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict what continued effects the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company's business and results of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related local and national economic disruption may result in a continued decline in demand for the Company's products and services; increased levels of loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures; an increase in the Company's allowance for loan losses; a decline in the value of loan collateral, including real estate; a greater decline in the yield on the Company's interest-earning assets than the decline in the cost of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities; and increased cybersecurity risks, as employees continue to work remotely. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's expectations only as of the date of this document. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

(1) Non-performing assets are comprised of nonperforming loans (“NPLs”), other real estate owned (“OREO”) and non-performing securities. NPLs consist of non-accrual loans and loans that are more than 90 days past due but still accruing interest. OREO consists of real estate properties, which primarily serve as collateral to secure the Company’s loans, that it controls due to foreclosure. These properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell on the date the Company obtains control.
