      Civista Bancshares, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

      SANDUSKY, Ohio, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Civista Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:CIVB) ("Civista") announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ending March 31, 2024. 

      First quarter highlights

      • Net income of $6.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $12.9 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023.   
      • Low cost of deposits of 214 basis points and total funding costs of 254 basis points for the quarter.
      • Based on the March 29, 2024 market close share price of $15.38, the $0.16 first quarter dividend is equivalent to an annualized yield of 4.16% and a dividend payout ratio of 42.11%.

      "Although I was disappointed in our first quarter results, we knew there would be head winds as we exited the third-party payment tax refund business, and that we would not have the benefit of the $1.5 million one-time bonus from the prior year's renegotiation of our debit brand agreement.  In late 2023, we implemented changes in the way we process overdrafts which reduced service charge income.  As a result of these three items, we had approximately $3.8 million of noninterest income to replace from the previous year," said Dennis G. Shaffer, CEO and President of Civista.

      Results of Operations:

      For the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

      Net interest income decreased $4.2 million, or 13.0%, for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, due to an increase in interest expense partially offset by an increase in interest income.  Noninterest income also decreased, primarily due to the company's decision to step away from our income tax refund business for 2024.     

      Net interest margin decreased 77 basis points to 3.22% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 3.99% for the same period a year ago. 

      The increase in interest income was due to increases in both yield and in asset volume.  The 41 basis point increase in yield led to a $3.7 million increase in interest income, while the $239.3 million increase in average earning assets led to a $3.5 million increase in interest income.  The increase in volume can be attributed to organic growth.

      Interest expense increased $12.8 million, or 143.4%, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the same period last year.  The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 140 basis points, which led to a $6.9 million increase in interest expense.  Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $411.6 million, leading to a $4.5 million increase in interest expense.  The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was primarily in time deposits.  The increase in funding cost, as well as the shift in the funding mix, are driving the increase in interest.

      * Average yields are presented on a tax equivalent basis. The tax equivalent effect associated with loans and
      investments, included in the yields above, was $632 thousand and $601 thousand for the periods ended March 31,
      2024 and 2023, respectively.  















      **  Average balance includes nonaccrual loans















      ***  Average yield on investments were calculated by adjusting the average balances of taxable and nontaxable securities
      by unrealized losses of $59.2 million in 2024 and by unrealized losses of $63.2 million in 2023.  These adjustments were
      also made when calculating the yield on earning assets and the margin.

      For the first quarter of 2024, noninterest income totaled $8.5 million, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 23.2%, compared to the prior year's first quarter.

      Service charges decreased due to a $375 thousand decrease in overdraft fees.  We have reduced our per instance charge and have eliminated charges for representment of items for payment.     

      The net gain on sale of loans and leases increased by $232 thousand compared to the same period last year.  The sale of mortgage loans generated a $423 thousand gain on the sale of $20.2 million, an increase in the gain of $191 thousand and a $10.9 million increase in 2024 volume, compared to 2023.   CLF generated a $440 thousand gain on the sale of $12.6 million in commercial loans and leases, an increase in the gain of $41 thousand and a $1.4 million increase in 2024 volume, compared to 2023.

      Lease revenue and residual income decreased $372 thousand due to a decrease in operating lease activity.

      Tax refund processing fee income is now zero as we exited our third-party processor that was in the tax refund processing business.

      Other income decreased primarily as result of a $1.5 million nonrecurring fee collected in 2023 associated with the renewal of the company's contract with MasterCard.

      For the first quarter of 2024, noninterest expense totaled $27.7 million, an increase of $257 thousand, or 0.9%, compared to the prior year's first quarter.

      Compensation expense increased primarily due to a $614 thousand increase in salary expense.  Merit increases awarded in the second quarter of 2023.   Employee insurance expense increased $222 thousand compared to the same period last year.  Commission expense decreased $515 thousand compared to the same period last year.

      The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense is primarily due to a decrease in equipment depreciation. 

      Taxes & assessments increased primarily due to an increase in the FDIC assessment rate charged.

      Professional services decreased due to $400 thousand advisory fees for renegotiation of the company's MasterCard contract paid in 2023. 

      The increase in Software maintenance expense is primarily due to expense of our digital banking platform.

      The efficiency ratio was 73.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to 62.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.  The change in the efficiency ratio is primarily due to a decrease in net interest income and a decrease in noninterest income.

      Civista's effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2024 was 11.8% compared to 16.4% in 2023.

      Balance Sheet

      Total assets increased $18.8 million, or less than 1%, from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in the loan portfolio of $36.4 million, or 1.3%.  The increase in loans was partially offset by a $10.1 million decrease in cash and a $10.8 million decrease in the securities portfolio.

      Loan and lease balances increased $36.4 million, or 1.3% since December 31, 2023.  Growth was tempered in the first quarter with a diligent focus on rate and margin.  Commercial Real Estate continued to grow due to consistent demand in the Non-owner Occupied category, especially in the multi-family area in the major Ohio metropolitan areas.  Real Estate Construction has increased with consistent demand for more projects across the state of Ohio.  The undrawn construction availability continues to be near all-time highs.  Residential Real Estate has grown primarily due to more home construction loans and continued new production in our Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") product. 

      Deposits

      Total deposits decreased $4.3 million, or less than 1.0%, from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024.

      The $63.7 million decrease in noninterest-bearing demand was primarily due to a $51.7 million decrease in noninterest-bearing business accounts and $19.5 million noninterest-bearing accounts related to the former tax refund processing program. 

      The $14.8 million decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits was primarily due to an $11.6 million decrease in interest-bearing personal accounts, a $7.5 million decrease in Jumbo NOW accounts and a $5.2 million decrease in interest-bearing business accounts, partially offset by a $13.6 million increase in interest-bearing public fund accounts. 

      The $66.1 million increase in savings and money market was primarily due to a $65.9 million increase in brokered money market accounts, a $9.5 million increase in business money market accounts, partially offset by a $6.4 million decrease in statement savings and a $3.1 million decrease in business savings accounts. 

      The increase in time certificates was primarily due to a $16.7 million increase in Jumbo time certificates, a $14.0 million increase in retail time certificates, partially offset by a $21.8 million decrease in brokered time deposits.    

      FHLB overnight advances totaled $368.5 million on March 31, 2024, up from $340.4 million on December 31, 2023.  FHLB term advances totaled $2.2 million on March 31, 2024, down from $2.4 million on December 31, 2023.

      Stock Repurchase Program

      So far in 2024, Civista has not repurchased any shares.  We have approximately $12.0 million remaining of the current $13.5 million repurchase authorization, which will expire in May 2024.  In January, Civista liquidated 8,262 shares held by employees, at $18.38 per share, to satisfy tax obligations stemming from vesting of restricted shares.

      Shareholders' Equity

      Total shareholders' equity decreased $2.3 million from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, primarily due to an $6.2 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  Retained earnings increased $3.9 million.         

      Asset Quality

      Civista recorded net charge-offs of $353 thousand for the three months of 2024 compared to net charge-offs of $128 thousand for the same period of 2023.  The allowance for credit losses to loans was 1.34% at March 31, 2024 and 1.30% at December 31, 2023.
