Third Quarter Financial Results
Net income for First Busey Corporation (“First Busey” or the “Company”) for the third quarter of 2022 was $35.7 million, or $0.64 per diluted common share, compared to $29.8 million, or $0.53 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2022, and $25.9 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income1 for the third quarter of 2022 was $36.4 million, or $0.65 per diluted common share, compared to $30.1 million, or $0.54 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2022, and $32.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2021. For the third quarter of 2022, annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average tangible common equity1 were 1.13% and 17.41%, respectively. Based on adjusted net income1, annualized return on average assets was 1.15% and annualized return on average tangible common equity1 was 17.79% for the third quarter of 2022.

Pre-provision net revenue1 for the third quarter of 2022 was $46.5 million, compared to $39.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $30.5 million for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue1 for the third quarter of 2022 was $48.8 million, compared to $41.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $39.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. Pre-provision net revenue to average assets1 for the third quarter of 2022 was 1.47%, compared to 1.27% for the second quarter of 2022, and 0.95% for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue to average assets1 for the third quarter of 2022 was 1.54%, compared to 1.33% for the second quarter of 2022 and 1.23% for the third quarter of 2021.

The Company experienced its sixth consecutive quarter of strong core loan1 growth. Core loan1 growth was $178.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $249.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $177.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. Over the last four quarters, the Company has generated $696.3 million in core loan1 growth, equating to a year-over-year growth rate of 10.0%. Meanwhile, we experienced deposit growth of $204.2 million during the third quarter of 2022. As a result our loan to deposit ratio ended the quarter at 72.4%.

In addition, our fee-based businesses continue to add revenue diversification. Total non-interest income of $30.9 million accounted for 26.4% of total operating revenue. Beginning on July 1, 2022, we became subject to the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Durbin Amendment requires the Federal Reserve to establish a maximum permissible interchange fee for many types of debit transactions. The third quarter impact of these rules was a $2.4 million reduction in fee income.

Asset quality remains strong by both historical as well as present-day industry standards. In the third quarter of 2022, non-performing assets declined to 0.14% of total assets, from 0.15% in the second quarter of 2022 and 0.23% in the third quarter of 2021. The Company’s results for the third quarter of 2022 include a provision expense of $2.4 million for credit losses and a provision release of $0.3 million for unfunded commitments. The total allowance for credit losses was $90.7 million at September 30, 2022, representing 1.18% of total portfolio loans outstanding. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, equating to an annualized net charge-off ratio of 0.02%.

The Company views certain non-operating items, including acquisition-related and other restructuring charges, as adjustments to net income reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-operating pretax adjustments for other restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2022 included $0.1 million of expenses related to non-operating professional fees and $0.9 million of loss on leases and fixed asset impairment. The Company believes that non-GAAP measures—including pre-provision net revenue, adjusted pre-provision net revenue, pre-provision net revenue to average assets, adjusted pre-provision net revenue to average assets, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, adjusted net interest income, adjusted net interest margin, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted core expense, efficiency ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted core efficiency ratio, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets, core loans, core loans to portfolio loans, core deposits, core deposits to total deposits, and core loans to core deposits—facilitate the assessment of its financial results and peer comparability. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures is included in tabular form at the end of this release (see "Non-GAAP Financial Information").

Debt Redemption
On August 25, 2022, the Company redeemed $60.0 million of outstanding callable subordinated notes originally issued in 2017, using proceeds obtained from our successful public offering of $100.0 million subordinated debt in the second quarter of 2022. At the time of redemption, the redeemed subordinated notes carried interest at a floating rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 2.919%.

Hurricane Ian
On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian made landfall in southwest Florida impacting our operations in the region. We are focused on assisting our clients and employees as they navigate the challenges from this historic storm. As of today, two of our three branches are fully operational, while services are expected to be restored imminently via a temporary facility at our third location. Efforts undertaken to date include: 1) financial assistance for associates impacted by the storm; 2) creation of a relief center for associates to access much needed supplies; 3) staffing resource reallocation to support our southwest Florida operations; 4) fee waivers for impacted customers; and 5) loan modification program for impacted commercial customers. These are but a few of the initiatives and efforts implemented to date in response to Hurricane Ian.

Efficiency Initiative
Early in the fourth quarter of 2022, we implemented a targeted restructuring and efficiency optimization plan that is expected to generate annual salary and benefits savings of $4.0 million to $4.4 million. We also expect to incur one-time severance-related costs associated with this initiative of $1.1 million to $1.3 million, most of which are expected to be realized in the fourth quarter. We expect to largely reinvest the anticipated savings to support ongoing growth initiatives across our franchise over the next several quarters.

Community Banking
First Busey’s goal of being a strong community bank begins with outstanding associates. The Company is humbled to be named among the 2021 Best Banks to Work For by American Banker, the 2021 Best Places to Work in Money Management by Pensions and Investments, the 2022 Best Places to Work in Illinois by Daily Herald Business Ledger, and the 2022 Best Companies to Work For in Florida by Florida Trend magazine.

We are grateful for the opportunities to earn the business of our customers, based on the contributions of our talented associates and the continued support of our loyal shareholders. We feel confident that we are well positioned to navigate these uncertain times while continuing to produce quality growth and profitability as we move into the final quarter of 2022 and into 2023.

Balance
Sheet Growth

Our balance sheet remains a source of strength. Total assets were $12.50 billion at September 30, 2022, compared to $12.36 billion at June 30, 2022, and $12.90 billion at September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2022, portfolio loans were $7.67 billion, compared to $7.50 billion as of June 30, 2022, and $7.15 billion as of September 30, 2021. Amortized costs of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans of $1.4 million, $7.6 million, and $178.2 million are included in the September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, portfolio loan balances, respectively. During the third quarter of 2022, Busey Bank experienced another strong quarter of core loan1 growth of $178.5 million, consisting of growth in commercial balances3 of $116.4 million and growth in retail real estate and retail other balances of $62.1 million. Growth was principally driven by our Northern Illinois, Gateway, and Indiana service centers. As has been our practice, we remain steadfast in our disciplined underwriting.

Average portfolio loans were $7.62 billion for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $7.38 billion for the second quarter of 2022 and $7.13 billion for the third quarter of 2021. The average balance of PPP loans for the third quarter of 2022 was $4.2 million, compared to $19.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $291.8 million for the third quarter of 2021. Average interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2022 were $11.50 billion, compared to $11.45 billion for the second quarter of 2022, and $11.73 billion for the third quarter of 2021.

Total deposits were $10.60 billion at September 30, 2022, compared to $10.40 billion at June 30, 2022, and $10.82 billion at September 30, 2021. Fluctuations in deposit balances can be attributed to the retention of PPP loan funding in customer deposit accounts, the impacts of fiscal stimulus, inflation and related economic effects on our customers, as well as typical seasonality aspects within our portfolio, and other core deposit1 growth. The Company remains funded substantially through core deposits1 with significant market share in its primary markets. Core deposits1 accounted for 99.0% of total deposits as of September 30, 2022. Cost of deposits was 0.13% in the third quarter of 2022, which represents a 5 basis points increase from the second quarter of 2022. Excluding time deposits, the Company’s cost of deposits was 0.11% in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 0.06% from June 30, 2022.

Asset Quality

Credit quality continues to be exceptionally strong. Loans 30-89 days past due totaled $6.3 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $5.2 million as of June 30, 2022, and $6.4 million as of September 30, 2021. Non-performing loans decreased to $16.7 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $17.5 million as of June 30, 2022, and $25.9 million as of September 30, 2021. Continued disciplined credit management resulted in non-performing loans as a percentage of portfolio loans of 0.22% at September 30, 2022, compared to 0.23% as of June 30, 2022, and 0.36% as of September 30, 2021. Non-performing assets were 0.14% of total assets at the end of the third quarter of 2022, compared to 0.15% at June 30, 2022 and 0.23% at September 30, 2021.

Net charge-offs totaled $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $0.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. The allowance as a percentage of portfolio loans was 1.18% at both September 30, 2022, and June 30, 2022, compared to 1.30% at September 30, 2021. The allowance as a percentage of non-performing loans was 544.75% at September 30, 2022, compared to 507.36% at June 30, 2022, and 358.86% at September 30, 2021.

The Company maintains a well-diversified loan portfolio and, as a matter of policy and practice, limits concentration exposure in any particular loan segment.

Net
Interest Margin1 and Net Interest Income

Net interest margin1 for the third quarter of 2022 was 3.00%, compared to 2.68% for the second quarter of 2022 and 2.41% for the third quarter of 2021. Excluding purchase accretion, adjusted net interest margin1 was 2.97% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 2.66% in the second quarter of 2022 and 2.35% in the third quarter of 2021. Net interest income was $86.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $75.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $70.8 million in the third quarter of 2021.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised rates by 150 basis points during the third quarter of 2022, and by a total of 300 basis points during the first three quarters of 2022. Rising rates have a positive impact on net interest margin1, as assets, in particular commercial loans, reprice more quickly and to a greater extent than liabilities. Given the timing of the FOMC meetings in September, the full benefit of the associated movement in rates to our net interest margin will be realized in subsequent quarters. In general, net interest margins1 have been impacted over the last two years by PPP loans, significant growth in the Company’s liquidity position, and the issuance of debt, with more recent impacts resulting from rate increases. Factors contributing to the 32-basis point increase in net interest margin during the third quarter of 2022 include:

  • Increased loan portfolio income contributed +38 basis points
  • Increases in the cash and securities portfolio yield contributed +7 basis points
  • Increased recognition of purchase accounting accretion contributed +1 basis points
  • Increased deposit funding costs contributed -5 basis points
  • Increased borrowing costs contributed -4 basis points, of which -2 basis points is attributable to the carrying cost of our 2017 subordinated debt that was redeemed on August 25, 2022
  • Increased net interest expense on cash flow hedges contributed -3 basis points
  • Reduced volume of PPP loan forgiveness contributed -2 basis points

Future FOMC rate decisions are expected to continue to be a net positive to net interest margin1. Based on our most recent Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) model, a 100 basis point parallel rate shock is expected to increase net interest income by 4.6% over the subsequent twelve-month period. Market competition for deposits has started to increase and deposits betas are likely to increase going forward, which is factored into our ALCO model. We are committed to protecting our quality core deposit franchise and are in regular contact with our customers to proactively address their needs and concerns. In the third quarter of 2022, our incremental interest-bearing non-maturity deposit beta was 6.4%. Since the onset of the Fed tightening cycle, our cumulative interest bearing non- maturity deposit beta has been 4.9%. Deposit betas are calculated based on an average Fed funds rate of 2.35% during the third quarter of 2022.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $30.9 million for the third quarter of 2022, as compared to $31.0 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $33.3 million for the third quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact of net securities gains and losses, noninterest income was $30.9 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $32.7 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $33.2 million for the third quarter of 2021. Beginning on July 1, 2022, we became subject to the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Durbin Amendment requires the Federal Reserve to establish a maximum permissible interchange fee for many types of debit transactions. The third quarter impact of these rules was a $2.4 million reduction in fee income. Revenues from wealth management fees and payment technology solutions activities represented 56.9% of the Company’s noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, providing a balance to spread-based revenue from traditional banking activities.

Wealth management fees were $12.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $14.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $13.7 million for the third quarter of 2021, representing a 9.0% decrease from the comparable period in 2021. The quarter over quarter decline in wealth management fees is primarily attributable to declines in market valuations. The Wealth Management operating segment generated net income of $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, and $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, a 20.4% decrease from the comparable period in 2021. First Busey’s Wealth Management division ended the third quarter of 2022 with $10.75 billion in assets under care, a decrease from $11.45 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2022 and $12.36 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2021, principally due to a reduction in market valuations. Our portfolio management team continues to produce solid results in the face of very volatile markets. In the third quarter, the Busey core investment strategy outperformed its benchmark.

Payment technology solutions revenue from FirsTech was $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. Excluding intracompany eliminations, FirsTech generated revenue of $5.6 million during the third quarter of 2022, an increase from $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $5.0 million during the third quarter of 2021. The FirsTech operating segment generated net income of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, consistent with both the second quarter of 2022 and the third quarter of 2021. The Company is currently making strategic investments in FirsTech to enhance future growth, including further upgrades to the product and engineering teams to build an application programming interface (API) cloud-based platform to provide for fully integrated payment capabilities as well as the continued development of our BaaS platform.

Fees for customer services were $7.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. Excluding the Durbin Amendment's impact, discussed above, fees for customer services increased $0.4 million quarter-over-quarter, and $0.7 million year-over-year.

Mortgage revenue was $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase from $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 and a decrease from $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, due to declines in sold-loan volume and gain on sale premiums.

Other noninterest income was $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase from $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. Fluctuations between the second quarter of 2022 and the third quarter of 2022 were primarily the result of increases in swap origination fee income, increased gains on commercial loan sales, and decreased losses on fixed asset disposal.

Operating Efficiency

Noninterest expense was $70.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $69.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $73.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. Excluding non-operating adjustments1, noninterest expense was $69.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $68.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $64.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. As a result, the efficiency ratio1 was 57.62% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 60.56% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and 67.27% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The adjusted core efficiency ratio1 was 55.67% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to 59.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 58.72% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The Company remains focused on expense discipline, while making necessary investments to support the organic growth of our key business lines and related support and risk management functions.

Noteworthy components of noninterest expense are as follows:

  • Salaries, wages, and employee benefits were $39.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $38.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, and $41.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. Total full-time equivalents numbered 1,513 at September 30, 2022, compared to 1,493 at June 30, 2022, and 1,462 at September 30, 2021. The Company did not record any non-operating expense for salaries, wages, and employee benefit expenses in the second or third quarter of 2022, compared to $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Data processing expense was $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, consistent with the second quarter of 2022 and a decrease from $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. The Company did not record any non-operating data processing expenses in the second or third quarter of 2022, compared to $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Professional fees were $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, consistent with the second quarter of 2022 and an increase from $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. The Company recorded $0.1 million of non-operating professional fees in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Amortization expense was $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Other operating expenses were $13.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. The Company recorded $0.9 million of non-operating expenses within the other operating expense line in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Early in the fourth quarter of 2022, we implemented a targeted restructuring and efficiency optimization plan that is expected to generate annual salary and benefits savings of $4.0 million to $4.4 million. We also expect to incur one-time severance-related costs associated with this initiative of $1.1 million to $1.3 million, most of which will be realized in fourth quarter. We expect to largely reinvest the anticipated savings to support ongoing growth initiatives across our franchise over the next several quarters.

Capital Strength

The Company's strong capital levels, coupled with its earnings, have allowed First Busey to provide a steady return to its stockholders through dividends. On October 28, 2022, the Company will pay a cash dividend of $0.23 per common share to stockholders of record as of October 21, 2022. The Company has consistently paid dividends to its common stockholders since the bank holding company was organized in 1980.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company continued to exceed the capital adequacy requirements necessary to be considered “well- capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines. The Company’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio is estimated4 to be 11.79% at September 30, 2022, compared to 11.77% at June 30, 2022, and 11.95% at September 30, 2021. Our Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets ratio is estimated4 to be 15.98% at September 30, 2022, compared to 16.58% at June 30, 2022, and 15.91% at September 30, 2021. During the third quarter of 2022, we redeemed $60.0 million of callable, fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes that were originally issued in 2017, and scheduled to mature on May 25, 2027. The full balance of these subordinated notes qualified as Tier 2 Capital for First Busey for the first five years, with a phase out that began in the second quarter of 2022 until redemption. At the time of redemption, the redeemed subordinated notes carried interest at a floating rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 2.919%.

The Company’s tangible common equity1 was $748.9 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $801.9 million at June 30, 2022, and $971.3 million at September 30, 2021. Tangible common equity1 represented 6.17% of tangible assets at September 30, 2022, compared to 6.68% at June 30, 2022, and 7.75% at September 30, 2021. The Company’s tangible book value per common share1 declined from $14.31 at June 30, 2022, to $13.39 at September 30, 2022. The decline in both the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets1 and tangible book value per common share1 is primarily attributable to the fair market valuation adjustment of the Company’s securities portfolio as a result of the rapidly rising rate environment as reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) component of shareholder’s equity, net of retained earnings and amortization of intangible assets over the same period.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company purchased 130,000 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $23.75 per share for a total of $3.1 million under the Company’s stock repurchase plan. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had 147,210 shares remaining on its stock repurchase plan available for repurchase.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This earnings release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than GAAP. Management uses these non- GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in analysis of the Company’s performance and in making business decisions, as well as for comparison to the Company’s peers. The Company believes the adjusted measures are useful for investors and management to understand the effects of certain non-recurring noninterest items and provide additional perspective on the Company’s performance over time.

A reconciliation to what management believes to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures—specifically, net interest income, total noninterest income, net security gains and losses, and total noninterest expense in the case of pre-provision net revenue, adjusted pre-provision net revenue, pre-provision net revenue to average assets, and adjusted pre-provision net revenue to average assets; net income in the case of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, return on average tangible common equity, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity; net interest income in the case of adjusted net interest income and adjusted net interest margin; net interest income, total noninterest income, and total noninterest expense in the case of adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted core expense, efficiency ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, and adjusted core efficiency ratio; total stockholders’ equity in the case of tangible book value per common share; total assets and total stockholders’ equity in the case of tangible common equity and tangible common equity to tangible assets; portfolio loans in the case of core loans and core loans to portfolio loans; total deposits in the case of core deposits and core deposits to total deposits; and portfolio loans and total deposits in the case of core loans to core deposits—appears below.

These non-GAAP disclosures have inherent limitations and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating results reported in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Tax effected numbers included in these non-GAAP disclosures are based on estimated statutory rates or effective rates as appropriate.

Special
Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in this document, other than those concerning historical financial information, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, and business of the Company. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations, and assumptions of the Company’s management, and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events. A number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict, could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the Company’s forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the following: (i) the strength of the local, state, national, and international economy (including effects of inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints); (ii) the economic impact of any future terrorist threats or attacks, widespread disease or pandemics (including the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic), or other adverse external events that could cause economic deterioration or instability in credit markets (including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine); (iii) changes in state and federal laws, regulations, and governmental policies concerning the Company’s general business; (iv) changes in accounting policies and practices; (v) changes in interest rates and prepayment rates of the Company’s assets (including the impact of The London Inter-bank Offered Rate phase-out); (vi) increased competition in the financial services sector and the inability to attract new customers; (vii) changes in technology and the ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems; (viii) the loss of key executives or associates; (ix) changes in consumer spending; (x) unexpected results of current and/or future acquisitions, which may include failure to realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition and the possibility that transaction costs may be greater than anticipated; (xi) unexpected outcomes of existing or new litigation involving the Company; and (xii) the economic impact of exceptional weather occurrences such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and blizzards. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect its financial results, is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
