  • An increase in tangible book value per share of $2.71 (16.5%) over the second quarter of 2023;
  • Net growth in core deposits of $53.3 million (or 4.8% annualized) from March 31, 2024;
  • Net growth in loans of $11.9 million (or 1.2% annualized) from March 31, 2024; and
  • The payment of a 24 cent per share dividend on common stock on May 13, 2024.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP) reported second quarter 2024 net income of $18.5 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, versus net income of $14.8 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: “I am proud of our team and very pleased with our second quarter 2024 results, driving organic growth on both sides of the balance sheet. Overall loans increased 1.2% (annualized), despite a higher-than-normal level of commercial payoffs and paydowns, while core deposits are up 4.8% (annualized). We were able to generate net interest margin expansion, increasing to 3.40% from 3.30% on a linked quarter basis and net interest income growth on both a linked quarter basis and on a year over year quarterly basis. We believe that our expenses continue to be well managed, and we continue to see improved operational scale from strategic investments we have made in recent years. Our credit metrics continue to be excellent, with watch credits and non-performing assets near historic lows. These fundamentals drove good growth in both our earnings per share (26%) and tangible book value per share (16%) compared to the prior year quarter. Based on a robust commercial loan pipeline, the past record of our core group of professionals and the on-going strategic initiative to add talented bankers to our team, we are optimistic about continuing these growth trends for the second half of the year and into 2025.”

Significant items impacting comparable second quarter 2024 and 2023 results include the following:

  • Changes in the fair value due to price of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights (the “MSR Changes”) of $0.9 million ($0.03 per diluted share, after taxes) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $2.4 million ($0.09 per diluted share, after taxes) for the three-months ended June 30, 2023.
  • The provision for credit losses was an expense of $0.02 million ($0.00 per diluted share, after taxes) in the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to an expense of $3.3 million ($0.12 per diluted share, after taxes) in the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
  • Gain on equity securities at fair value of $2.7 million ($0.10 per diluted share, after tax) in the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, attributable to the exchange of our Visa Class B-1 common stock. No gain or loss on equity securities at fair value was recorded for the second quarter of 2023.

Operating Results

The Company’s net interest income totaled $41.3 million during the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $3.0 million, or 7.8% from the year-ago period, and an increase of $1.1 million, or 2.9%, from the first quarter of 2024. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.40% during the second quarter of 2024, compared to 3.24% in the year-ago period, and 3.30% in the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year quarterly increase in net interest income was due to an increase in average interest-earning assets and the net interest margin. The increase in net interest income compared to the linked quarter was due to an increase in the net interest margin that was partially offset by a decrease in average interest earning assets. Average interest-earning assets were $4.89 billion in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $4.76 billion in the year ago quarter and $4.91 billion in the first quarter of 2024.

Non-interest income totaled $15.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $15.4 million in the comparable prior year period. This change was primarily due to variances in mortgage banking related revenues and gain on equity securities at fair value.

Gain on equity securities at fair value totaled $2.7 million during the second quarter of 2024. This gain is the consequence of the exchange of our shares of Visa Class B-1 common stock on May 6, 2024 into a combination of Visa Class C common stock and Visa Class B-2 common stock. With the completion of this exchange, we were able to record the fair value of the Visa Class C common stock through income (as it is convertible into publicly traded Visa Class A common stock) while the Visa Class B-2 common stock continues to be carried at zero.

Net gains on mortgage loans in the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, were approximately $1.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The comparative quarterly decrease in net gains on mortgage loans was primarily due to an decrease in both gain on sale margin on mortgage loans sold and a decrease in the volume of mortgage loans sold.

Mortgage loan servicing, net, generated income of $2.1 million and $3.7 million in the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The significant variance in mortgage loan servicing, net is primarily due to changes in the fair value of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights associated with changes in interest rates and the associated expected future prepayment levels and expected float rates. Mortgage loan servicing, net activity is summarized in the following table:

 Three months ended Six months ended
 6/30/2024 6/30/2023 6/30/2024 6/30/2023

Total$2,091  $3,674  $4,816  $4,400 
 

Non-interest expenses totaled $33.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $32.2 million in the year-ago period.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. This compares to an income tax expense of $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. The changes in income tax expense principally reflect changes in pre-tax earnings in 2024 relative to 2023.

Asset Quality

A breakdown of non-performing loans by loan type is as follows:

 6/30/2024 12/31/2023 6/30/2023
Loan Type(Dollars in thousands)
Commercial$312  $28  $33 
Mortgage 4,819   6,425   6,149 
Installment 843   970   694 
Sub total 5,974   7,423   6,876 
Less - government guaranteed loans 1,489   2,191   2,882 
Total non-performing loans$4,485  $5,232  $3,994 
Ratio of non-performing loans to total portfolio loans 0.12%  0.14%  0.11%
Ratio of non-performing assets to total assets 0.10%  0.11%  0.09%
Ratio of allowance for credit losses to total non-performing loans 1253.98%  1044.69%  1351.13%
            

The provision for credit losses was an expense of $0.02 million and $3.32 million in the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The quarterly change in the provision for credit losses in 2024 compared to 2023, is the result of a decrease in net newly allocated losses in the commercial loan portfolio primarily driven by a large specific reserve in the prior year as well as a decrease in loan growth and a decrease in the adjustment to allocations based on subjective factors. We recorded loan net charge offs (recoveries) of $0.09 million and $(0.10) million in the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. At June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $56.2 million, or 1.46% of total portfolio loans compared to $54.7 million, or 1.44% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2023.

Balance Sheet, Capital and Liquidity

Total assets were $5.28 billion at June 30, 2024, a increase of $13.8 million from December 31, 2023. Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $3.85 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $3.79 billion at December 31, 2023. Deposits totaled $4.61 billion at June 30, 2024, a decrease of $8.6 million from December 31, 2023. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in non-interest bearing and brokered time deposits that were partially offset by growth in savings and interest-bearing checking, reciprocal, and time deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $214.3 million at June 30, 2024, versus $169.8 million at December 31, 2023. Securities available for sale (“AFS”) totaled $592.0 million at June 30, 2024, versus $679.4 million at December 31, 2023.

Total shareholders’ equity was $430.5 million at June 30, 2024, or 8.16% of total assets compared to $404.4 million or 7.68% at December 31, 2023. Tangible common equity totaled $400.4 million at June 30, 2024, or $19.16 per share compared to $374.1 million or $17.96 per share at December 31, 2023. The increase in shareholder equity as well as tangible common equity are primarily the result of earnings retention.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains significantly above “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:

Regulatory Capital Ratios6/30/2024 12/31/2023 Well

Total capital to risk-weighted assets 12.95%  12.46%  10.00%
            

At June 30, 2024, in addition to liquidity available from our normal operating, funding, and investing activities, we had unused credit lines with the FHLB and FRB of approximately $1.00 billion and $438.5 million, respectively. We also had approximately $787.4 million in fair value of unpledged securities AFS and HTM at June 30, 2024 which could be pledged for an estimated additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB and FRB of approximately $732.5 million.

Share Repurchase Plan

On December 19, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the 2024 share repurchase plan. Under the terms of the 2024 share repurchase plan, the Company is authorized to purchase up to 1,100,000 shares, or approximately 5% of its then outstanding common stock.
