TowneBank Reports Full Year and Fourth Quarter Financial Results for 2024

SUFFOLK, Va., Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TowneBank (the “Company” or “Towne”) (Nasdaq: TOWN) today reported financial results for the full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024.  For the year ended December 31, 2024, earnings were $161.76 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, compared to $153.72 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2023.  Excluding certain items affecting comparability, core earnings (non-GAAP) for 2024 were $163.65 million, or $2.18 per diluted share, compared to $160.94 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, for 2023.  Earnings in the fourth quarter of 2024 were $41.27 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to fourth quarter 2023 earnings of $28.80 million, or $0.39 per diluted share.  Excluding certain items affecting comparability, core earnings (non-GAAP) for fourth quarter 2024 were $41.42 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to $31.10 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for fourth quarter 2023.

“Diluted earnings per share increased $0.09, or 4.4%, year over year driven by stronger net interest income which improved each quarter throughout the year and stronger fee-based income contributions which demonstrates the value of our diversified business model.  We continue to prudently manage our liquidity and capital levels consistent with our conservative Main Street banking model.  In closing, I would like to thank the more than 2,700 Towne teammates across the Towne family of companies who work each day to execute our mission of Serving Others and Enriching Lives.  That’s the true measure of our success,” said G. Robert Aston, Jr., Executive Chairman.

Annual Highlights for 2024 Compared to 2023:

  • Total revenues decreased slightly to $693.75 million, compared to $694.12 million in the prior year.  Net interest income decreased $15.18 million as higher deposit costs outpaced increases in interest income.  Noninterest income increased $14.80 million driven by growth in residential mortgage banking income and insurance commissions, serving to largely offset the decline in net interest income.
  • The insurance segment’s gross revenue was $118.11 million compared to $109.46 million in 2023.
  • Loans held for investment increased $130.03 million, or 1.15%, from December 31, 2023.
  • Total deposits were $14.44 billion, an increase of $0.54 billion, or 3.92%, compared to prior year.
  • As rates continued to rise, noninterest-bearing deposits declined 2.06% to $4.25 billion driven by a mix shift into interest-bearing accounts.  Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 29.46% of total deposits at December 31, 2024.
  • Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 7.82%, and return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) was 11.11%.
  • Net interest margin was 2.87% and taxable equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) was 2.90% compared to a prior year net interest margin of 3.03% and taxable equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) of 3.06%.
  • Effective tax rate of 14.60% compared to 16.82% in 2023.  The decline in effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact on state and federal taxes from the increase in credits and losses related to LIHTC investment properties placed in service during the year.

Highlights for Fourth Quarter 2024:

  • Total revenues were $177.16 million in fourth quarter 2024, an increase of $21.61 million, or 13.90% from the prior year quarter.  This increase was attributable to a combination of margin expansion and growth in noninterest income.  Net interest income increased $10.32 million, or 9.58%, driven by increases in loan interest income offset by only marginal increases in deposit costs between quarters.  Noninterest income increased $11.29 million, or 23.61%, in the quarterly comparison.
  • Loans held for investment increased $46.54 million, or 1.62% on an annualized basis, from September 30, 2024.
  • Total deposits increased $74.13 million, or 2.05% on an annualized basis, compared to September 30, 2024.
  • Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $14.58 million, or 1.36% on an annualized basis, compared to the linked quarter.
  • In the quarter ended December 31, 2024, annualized return on average common shareholders’ equity was 7.70% and annualized return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) was 10.79%.
  • Net interest margin was 2.99% and taxable equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) was 3.02% compared to the prior year quarter net interest margin of 2.83% and taxable equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) of 2.86%.
  • Effective tax rate of 13.92% compared to 8.46% in fourth quarter 2023 and 11.52% in the linked quarter.  The increase in the effective tax rate from fourth quarter 2023 to 2024 was due to a fourth quarter adjustment in 2023 to deferred income taxes related to the sale of BHHS that decreased the tax rate.  The higher tax rate in the fourth quarter versus the linked quarter was due to an increase in state tax expense.

“As we look ahead to next year, we are excited about closing our partnership with Village Bank during the first quarter.  We are optimistic about loan and deposit growth opportunities across our banking footprint which operates in some of the most vibrant markets in the country.  We also plan to aggressively evaluate opportunities for enhancing our fee based businesses on an organic basis coupled with a disciplined acquisition strategy,” said William I. Foster III, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Quarterly Net Interest Income:

  • Net interest income was $118.06 million compared to $107.73 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.  Higher yields impacting interest income on loan and investment securities were the primary source of this growth.
  • Taxable equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) was 3.02%, including purchase accounting accretion of 4 basis points, compared to 2.86%, including purchase accounting accretion of 4 basis points, for fourth quarter 2023.
  • On an average basis, loans held for investment had a yield of 5.41%, which represented 72.90% of  earning assets in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to a yield of 5.22%, and 74.39% of earning assets in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • Total cost of deposits decreased to 2.07% from 2.29% in the linked quarter and 2.09% in the quarter ended December 31, 2023.  Deposits costs began declining in third quarter 2024 as the Federal Reserve lowered short term rates by 100 basis points in the final four months of 2024.
  • Average interest-earning assets totaled $15.71 billion at December 31, 2024 compared to $15.10 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of 4.09%.
  • Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $10.46 billion, an increase of $0.59 billion, or 5.96%, compared to the prior year.

Quarterly Provision for Credit Losses:

  • The provision for credit losses was an expense of $1.61 million in the current quarter compared to a benefit of $1.10 million in the linked quarter, and an expense of $2.45 million one year ago.
  • The allowance for credit losses on loans increased $0.73 million, compared to the linked quarter.  The increase in the allowance was driven by a combination of modest loan growth and an increase to our weightings of the more adverse macroeconomic forecast scenarios utilized in our models.
  • Net charge-offs were $382 thousand compared to $68 thousand one year prior and $677 thousand in the linked quarter.  The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.01% in fourth quarter 2024, 0.00% in fourth quarter 2023, and 0.02% in the linked quarter.
  • The allowance for credit losses on loans represented 1.08% of total loans at both December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, compared to 1.12% at December 31, 2023.  The allowance for credit losses on loans was 16.69 times nonperforming loans compared to 18.70 times at September 30, 2024 and 18.48 times at December 31, 2023.

Quarterly Noninterest Income:

  • Total noninterest income was $59.10 million compared to $47.81 million in 2023, an increase of $11.29 million, or 23.61%.
  • Residential mortgage banking income was $11.27 million compared to $8.04 million in fourth quarter 2023.  Loan volume in the current quarter was $565.43 million, with purchase activity comprising 89.46%.  Loan volume in fourth quarter 2023 was $428.95 million, with purchase activity of 95.06%.  Home purchases appear to be on the rise despite a continuation of elevated mortgage rates and home sale inventory limitations.
  • Gross margins on residential mortgages increased 19 basis points from 3.06% in fourth quarter 2023 to 3.25% in the current quarter.  Gross margins declined 3 basis points from 3.28%, when compared to the linked quarter.
  • Property management fee revenue increased 11.25%, or $828 thousand, in comparison to fourth quarter 2023 driven by an acquisition in early 2024.
  • Total insurance commissions and other income increased $2.06 million, or 9.70%, to $23.27 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to organic growth.
  • Investment commissions increased $0.82 million, or 34.24%, driven by higher production levels.

Quarterly Noninterest Expense:

  • Total noninterest expense was $127.44 million compared to $121.90 million, an increase of $5.55 million, or 4.55%.  This reflects increases in salary and benefits expense of $8.36 million, occupancy expense of $0.51 million, and furniture and equipment expense of $0.41 million.
  • Salaries and benefits expense increases were driven by annual base salary adjustments that went into effect October 2024 and increases in performance based compensation and employee benefit costs.
  • Increases in occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expense were driven by Company expansion and relocation activities.  Towne has opened two full service branches since November 2023, completed a branch relocation in Greenville, NC, and relocated our regional headquarters in Greensboro, NC.

  • Total assets were $17.25 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of 2.45%, compared to $16.84 billion at December 31, 2023.  The increase was driven by modest growth in loans and investment securities.
  • Loans held for investment increased $130.03 million, or 1.15%, compared to year end 2023 and $46.54 million compared to the linked quarter, 1.62% on an annualized basis.  Management has focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet in 2024 by controlling loan growth through pricing.
  • Mortgage loans held for sale increased $50.47 million, or 33.65%, compared to prior year but declined $63.86 million, or 24.16%, compared to the linked quarter due to seasonality.
  • Total deposits increased $544.09 million, or 3.92%, compared to December 31, 2023 and $74.13 million, or 0.52%, or 2.05% on an annualized basis compared to the linked quarter.
