COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Bancshares, Inc., (the "Company"), (NasdaqGS: NWBI) announced net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 of $34 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. This represents a decrease of $5 million compared to the same quarter last year, when net income was $39 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, and an increase of $29 million compared to the prior quarter, when net income was $5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. The annualized returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were 8.50% and 0.93% compared to 10.27% and 1.08% for the same quarter last year and 1.24% and 0.13% from the prior quarter.

Compared to adjusted net operating income (non-GAAP) of $35 million, or $0.27, per diluted share in the prior quarter, adjusted net operating income (non-GAAP) decreased by $1 million to $34 million, or $0.26, per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was driven by an increase in provision expense which was $5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $(0.4) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The adjusted annualized returns on average shareholders' equity (non-GAAP) and average assets (non-GAAP) for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were 8.51% and 0.93% compared to 9.00% and 0.96% for prior quarter.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share payable on November 18, 2024 to shareholders of record as of November 8, 2024. This is the 120th consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend. Based on the market value of the Company's common stock as of September 30, 2024, this represents an annualized dividend yield of approximately 6.0%.

Louis J. Torchio, President and CEO, added, "Our performance this quarter demonstrates the strength and resilience of our business model. We've delivered solid results that underscore our expanding earnings power, driven in large part by improvements in our net interest margin. This positive trajectory reflects our team's dedication to operational excellence and strategic growth initiatives."

"As we look ahead, we remain committed to creating long-term value for our shareholders. I'm pleased to announce that for the 120th consecutive quarter, we will be returning our earnings to our shareholders through a $0.20 per share dividend. This consistency in shareholder returns is a testament to our financial stability, performance and our unwavering focus on delivering sustainable growth. We enter the next quarter with confidence, buoyed by our strong performance and the ongoing optimization of our business operations. Our team remains focused on capitalizing on market opportunities while maintaining prudent risk management practices. Northwest is well-positioned to continue driving value for our shareholders, clients and communities in the quarters to come."

  • Average loans receivable increased $33 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2023 driven by our commercial banking portfolio, which grew by $456 million in total, including a $372 million increase in our commercial and industrial portfolio as we have continued to build-out our commercial lending verticals. This was offset by a decline in our personal banking portfolio, which decreased by $423 million as cash flows from this portfolio were reinvested in our commercial portfolios. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, average loans receivable decreased by $145 million. Growth was muted in the quarter as we continue to reinvest cash flows from our personal banking portfolio and focus on profitability and credit discipline.
  • Average investments declined $118 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and $22 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decline from the prior year was driven by the investment portfolio restructure which occurred in the second quarter and from lack of reinvestment of cash flow over the past year. The decline in average investments from the prior quarter is expected to be temporary as current quarter purchases occurred later in the quarter. This is evident as ending balances increased $28 million from the prior quarter end.
  • Average deposits grew $377 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2023, driven by a $666 million increase in our average time deposits as we competitively positioned our deposit products over the last year. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in money market balances as customers shifted balances into higher yielding time deposit accounts. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, average deposits grew $10 million, driven by a $12 million increase in our average interest-bearing checking deposits. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in time deposits.
  • Average borrowings saw a significant reduction of $423 million compared to the quarter end September 30, 2023 and $103 million compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in average borrowings is primarily attributable to the strategic pay-down of wholesale borrowings. This decrease was made possible by the restructuring of our investment portfolio as well as a substantial increase in cash reserves resulting from the notable rise in the average balance of deposits noted above.

Compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, net interest income increased $3 million and net interest margin increased to 3.33% from 3.23% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. This increase in net interest income resulted primarily from:

  • A $20 million increase in interest income that was the result of cash and marketable securities being redeployed into higher yielding loans. Driven by higher market interest rates, the average yield on loans improved to 5.57% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 from 5.01% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. This increase includes a one-time interest recovery of $1.3 million on a commercial loan payoff. Excluding this interest recovery, the adjusted yield on loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was 5.53% and the adjusted net interest margin was 3.29%
  • A $17 million increase in interest expense as the result of higher costs of deposits due to the higher interest rate environment and competitive pressure for liquidity. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.39% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 from 1.74% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, net interest income increased $4 million and net interest margin increased to 3.33% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 from 3.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This increase in net interest income resulted from the following:

  • A $5 million increase in interest income driven by higher interest income on loans receivable and investments as average yield increased compared to the prior quarter. The average yield on loans improved to 5.57% from 5.47% and average investment yields increased to 2.48% from 2.13% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

The total provision for credit losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $4.9 million primarily driven by growth within our commercial lending portfolio and changes in the economic forecasts coupled with a decline in our reserves for unfunded commitments in the current period. This decline is based on the timing of origination and funding of commercial construction loans and lines of credit.

Additionally, the Company saw an increase in classified loans to $320 million, or 2.83% of total loans, at September 30, 2024 from $209 million, or 1.84% of total loans, at September 30, 2023 and $257 million, or 2.26% of total loans, at June 30, 2024. The primary driver of the increase over the past year and quarter is reflective of the Company's exposure to the Long Term Healthcare segment and the challenges a few operators have experienced post Covid.

Compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, excluding the loss on sale of securities of $39 million, noninterest income decreased by $3 million due to a loss on an equity method investment, lower gain on sale of SBA loans and loss on the sale of buildings during the quarter.

Compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, noninterest expense decreased due to a $3 million increase in personnel expense driven by additional contracted employees utilized during the quarter and an increase in medical expenses, which were more than offset by a decrease in non-personnel expense of $4 million due to restructuring expenses in the prior quarter and a decrease in fraud losses.

The provision for income taxes decreased by $2 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and increased $9 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the quarterly change in income before income taxes.

Net income decreased from the quarter ended September 30, 2023, due to the factors discussed above, and increased from the quarter ended June 30, 2024 due to loss on sale of investments from the prior period balance sheet restructuring as well as the additional factors discussed above.
