Second quarter and year-to-date 2024 highlights:

  • Earnings per diluted share (EPS) for the quarter were $0.45, higher by $0.04, or 10%, than the prior quarter, and lower by $0.19, or 30%, from the year-ago quarter.
  • Net income of $7.1 million increased $0.7 million, or 11%, from the prior quarter and decreased $3.0 million, or 30%, compared to $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2023.
  • Cost of deposits of 210 basis points and total funding costs of 261 basis points for the quarter.
  • Based on the June 30, 2024 market close share price of $15.49, the $0.16 second quarter dividend is equivalent to an annualized yield of 4.13% and a dividend payout ratio of 35.6%.

CEO Commentary:

"Our second quarter earnings report shows solid loan and revenue growth compared to the last quarter, even with the higher interest expense on deposits", said Dennis G. Shaffer, CEO and President of Civista.

"We kept our credit quality strong while funding new loans, especially in residential real estate and construction. This growth highlights our focus on expanding our lending to meet the rising demand for housing and construction financing. By offering customized loan solutions, we've been able to support the needs of our customers and communities.", Shaffer commented.

Results of Operations:

For the three-month periods ended June 30 and March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023

Net interest income decreased $0.6 million, or 2.2%, for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Interest income increased $0.5 million, which was more than offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.1 million. Both increases were driven by increases in rates and volume.

Compared to the same period of 2023 net interest income decreased $3.6 million, or 11.4%, for the second quarter of 2024. The lower net interest income was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense of $9.6 million, which was partially offset by an increase in interest income of $6.0 million.

The increase in interest income from the comparable prior year quarter was due to a 27-basis point increase in yield as well as a $264.8 million increase in average earning assets. The increase in volume can be attributed to organic growth.

The increase in interest expense from the comparable prior year quarter was due to the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increasing 104 basis points as well as average interest-bearing liabilities increasing $428.2 million. The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was primarily in brokered time deposits and short-term borrowings to fund growth. This shift in the funding mix, as well as rising interest rates, continues to drive the increase in funding costs. Deposit costs have increased 118 basis points compared to a year ago. Net interest margin was 3.09% for the second quarter of 2024. It decreased 13 basis points from the first quarter of 2024, when it was 3.22%, and it decreased 66 basis points from the second quarter of 2023, when it was 3.75%.

* - Average yields are presented on a tax equivalent basis. The tax equivalent effect associated with loans and investments, included in the yields above, was $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

** - Average balance includes nonaccrual loans

*** - 2024 and 2023 average yield on investments were calculated by adjusting the average balances of taxable and nontaxable securities by unrealized losses of $64.3 million and $61.8 million, respectively. These adjustments were also made when calculating the yield on earning assets and the margin.

Provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 was $1.8 million compared to $861 thousand for the second quarter of 2023. Provision for unfunded commitments for the second quarter of 2024 was ($145) thousand compared to $264 thousand for the second quarter of 2023.

Year-to-date 2024 provision for credit losses was $3.8 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period of 2023. The year-to-date 2024 provision for unfunded commitments was ($195) thousand compared to $465 thousand for the same period of 2023.

The increases in provision during the second quarter and the first six months of 2024 over the comparable prior year periods were primarily attributable to funding loan growth, as well as a charge-off associated with a discrete fraud event in the second quarter of 2024.

The reserve ratio as of June 30, 2024 was 1.32%, up from 1.30% at December 31, 2023.

For the second quarter of 2024, noninterest income totaled $10.5 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 15.2%, compared to the prior year's second quarter.

Compensation expense for the second quarter of 2024 increased primarily due to annual merit increases, employee insurance and other payroll related expenses.

The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense for the second quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in equipment depreciation from leasing operations as operating leases mature.

The increase in software maintenance expense for the second quarter of 2024 was due to an increase in software maintenance contracts, including investments in digital banking.

Other expenses include expenses for the SBA, CDARS and ICS programs and additional ATM/Debit card losses.

The efficiency ratio was 72.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to 66.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the efficiency ratio was driven largely as a result of the decrease in net interest income.

Compensation expense for the first six months of 2024 increased primarily due to annual merit increases, employee insurance and other payroll related expenses. The year-to-date average full time equivalent (FTE) employees were 538 at June 30, 2024, an increase of 6 FTEs over the same period in 2023.

The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense for the first six months of 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in equipment depreciation from leasing operations as operating leases mature.

Professional services for the first six months of 2024 decreased primarily due to advisory fees in 2023 for the company's MasterCard contract of $400 thousand.

The increase in software maintenance expense for the first six months of 2024 was due to an increase in software maintenance contracts, including on new software related to digital banking investments.

Other expenses include expenses for the SBA, CDARS and ICS programs and ATM/Debit card losses.

The efficiency ratio was 72.5% for the first six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 63.4% for the first six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the efficiency ratio was driven largely as a result of the decrease in net interest income and the reduction in non-interest income related to the exit from the tax refund processing business.

Loan and lease balances increased $153.3 million, or 5.4% since December 31, 2023. Commercial Real Estate loans continued to grow due to consistent demand in the Non-owner Occupied category, especially in multi-family in the major Ohio metropolitan areas. Real Estate Construction loans have increased with consistent demand for more projects across our footprint. The undrawn construction availability continues to be near all-time highs. Residential Real Estate loans have grown primarily due to more home construction loans and continued new production in our Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") product.

The $39.6 million decrease from December 31, 2023 in interest-bearing demand deposits was primarily due to a $17.2 million decrease in interest-bearing personal accounts, a $8.5 million decrease in Jumbo NOW accounts, and a $5.8 million decrease in interest-bearing business accounts.

The $77.2 million increase from December 31, 2023 in savings and money market was primarily due to a $54.1 million increase in brokered money market accounts, and a $6.8 million increase in business money market accounts.

The increase in time certificates from December 31, 2023 was primarily due to a $17.3 million increase in Jumbo time certificates, and a $18.3 million increase in retail time certificates, partially offset by a $19.3 million decrease in brokered time deposits.

FHLB overnight advances totaled $500.5 million on June 30, 2024, up from $338.0 million on December 31, 2023. FHLB term advances totaled $1.8 million on June 30, 2024, down from $2.4 million on December 31, 2023.

Stock Repurchase Program

On April 18, 2024, Civista announced a new common share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company was authorized to repurchase a maximum aggregate value of $13,500,000 of its outstanding common shares through April 15, 2025. As of June 30, 2024, no common shares had been repurchased under this common share repurchase program. During January 2024, a total of 8,262 shares (valued at $18.38 per share) were surrendered by employees to satisfy tax obligations stemming from vesting of restricted shares.

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2024 increased $3.8 million, or 1.0% from March 31, 2024, primarily due to a $4.5 million, or 2.4% increase in retained earnings, partially offset by a $0.6 million, or 1.1%, increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2024 increased $1.8 million from December 31, 2023, primarily due to an $8.4 million increase in retained earnings, partially offset by an additional accumulated other comprehensive loss of $6.8 million.

Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2024 increased $23.9 million, or 6.8%, from June 30, 2023, due to increased retained earnings of $23.4 million, or 13.9%, and an additional accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.4 million.

Asset Quality

Civista recorded net charge-offs of $1.1 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to net charge-offs of $36 thousand for the same period of 2023. The allowance for credit losses to loans ratio was 1.32% at June 30, 2024 and 1.30% at December 31, 2023. The increase in charge-offs was partially attributable to a $500 thousand charge-off on a commercial and industrial loan related to a fraud.
