NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. (“CapStar”) (NASDAQ:CSTR) today reported net income of $8.9 million or $0.43 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared with net income of $7.8 million or $0.37 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and net income of $8.0 million or $0.37 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was 1.10% and 10.18%, respectively.

“CapStar’s third quarter results demonstrate the hard work of our associates to mitigate the impact of the rapid rise in interest rates over the past year,” said Timothy K. Schools, CapStar President and Chief Executive Officer.  “While the pace in the rise of market deposit rates slowed during the quarter, marginal deposit rates remain high relative to portfolio and new production loan yields and clients continue to migrate toward higher yielding deposit products. In response, we are focusing on controlling the controllables - liquidity, credit, expenses, and capital - each showing strength this quarter."

“Over the past five years, our team has repositioned CapStar enhancing its performance and long-term prospects. Today’s merger announcement will build on and further accelerate our progress. This partnership follows 16 years of meaningful work and best positions CapStar’s employees, customers, and shareholders for future success. Excitingly, our organizations share common missions and cultures, and CapStar will be a major contributor to their organization as we strengthen Old National’s recent entry into Tennessee.”

“I am thankful for the opportunity to have led CapStar and worked with so many talented professionals. Our team’s results during this period are nothing short of remarkable. Key accomplishments include:

  • Created a highly effective workforce elevating our Gallup engagement index to 73rd percentile nationally
  • Elevated operating results being named by Bank Director as the nation’s 14th highest performing publicly traded bank in 2022 and the highest performing Tennessee-based bank each of the past three years
  • Annualized growth in total assets of 12.5% to $3.3 billion to include expansion into the dynamic Rutherford/Williamson County, Asheville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville markets
  • Annualized growth in dividends per share of 19.9%
  • Total shareholder return for the period of 12.5% as compared to negative 15.6% for the KRE regional bank index”

Revenue

Total revenue, defined as net interest income plus noninterest income, was $26.6 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2023 revenue of $28.8 million.

Third quarter net interest income decreased $2.2 million from the prior quarter to $20.4 million while noninterest income remained stable at $6.3 million.

Third quarter 2023 average earning assets increased $27.4 million to $2.99 billion compared to the second quarter 2023. The growth in average earning assets was attributed to an increase in average cash balances of $112.0 million and offset by a decrease in average loans held for investment of $58.6 million. The related yield on loans held for investment increased 19 basis points from the prior quarter to 5.98%.

Over the past year, the Company has been proactive and disciplined in curtailing lending on commercial real estate investment properties and to non-depositors, focusing primarily on liquidity management. While third quarter 2023 end of period loan held for investment balances declined versus the second quarter of 2023, the Company maintains strong lending capabilities in robust markets.

The net interest margin decreased 35 basis points from the prior quarter to 2.71%. Excess interest-bearing cash reduced the net interest margin by 14 basis points in the third quarter of 2023, versus a 4 basis point adverse net interest margin impact for the second quarter of 2023. The remaining net interest margin decline was principally related to rising deposit rates as a result of intense market competition, which has eased somewhat recently. The total cost of deposits increased 59 basis points from the second quarter of 2023 to 2.85% in the third quarter of 2023, exceeding the 19 basis point loan yield increase in the third quarter of 2023 versus the second quarter of 2023.

Third quarter 2023 noninterest income as compared to the second quarter of 2023 benefited from increased treasury management revenue, service charges and BOLI offset by declines in mortgage banking and SBA lending. The Company’s Tri-Net business continues to remain disciplined awaiting a return to rational market pricing with limited originations and sales occurring in 2023.

Noninterest Expense and Operating Efficiency

Noninterest expense was $17.1 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. Third quarter noninterest expense benefited from a $1.0 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits as well a $0.5 million recovery of a wire fraud expense previously recognized in the third quarter of 2022.

The efficiency ratio was 64.07% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and 66.61% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Annualized noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets was 2.10% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 which is a decrease of 31 basis points compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Assets per employee increased to $8.9 million as of September 30, 2023 compared to $8.3 million in the previous quarter.

Asset Quality

Due to a decrease in end of period loans held for investment and unfunded commitments versus the second quarter of 2023 along with improved macroeconomic forecasts, the Company recorded a recovery of provision of $1.6 million during the third quarter. Net loan charge-offs in third quarter totaled $0.4 million or 0.06% annualized of average loans held for investment.

Past due loans increased to $5.9 million or 0.26% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2023 compared to $3.6 million or 0.15% of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2023. Management remains very pleased with the low level of past dues, as the prior quarter total was near a record low during the past five years.

Non-performing assets to total loans held for investment and OREO were 0.28% at September 30, 2023 compared to 0.48% at June 30, 2023. Two relationships with aggregate outstanding balances of $7.9 million returned to accrual status based on positive financial performance and timely payments.

The allowance for credit losses related to loans declined to 1.05% as of September 30, 2023 from 1.08% at June 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses related to unfunded commitments declined to 0.39% of available balances from 0.43% at June 30, 2023.

As all investments are designated as available-for-sale, the Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets ratio of 9.34% is inclusive of all unrealized investment portfolio losses.

Book value per share of common stock as of September 30, 2023 was $16.67, compared to $16.64 and $15.84 for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

The Plan will terminate on the earlier of the date on which the maximum authorized dollar amount of shares of common stock has been repurchased or January 31, 2024.

Liquidity

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Certain releases may include financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This financial information may include certain operating performance measures, which exclude charges that are not considered part of recurring operations. Such measures may include: “Annualized pre-tax pre-provision return on assets”, “Annualized return on tangible common equity”, “Tangible book value per share of common stock,” “Tangible book value per share of common stock less after-tax unrealized losses”, “Tangible common equity to tangible assets”, “Tangible common equity to tangible assets less after-tax unrealized available for sale investment losses”, “Adjusted annualized noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets”, or other measures.

Management may include these non-GAAP measures because it believes these measures may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating CapStar’s underlying performance trends. Further, management uses these measures in managing and evaluating CapStar’s business and intends to refer to them in discussions about our operations and performance. Operating performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the ‘Non-GAAP Reconciliation Tables’ included in the exhibits to this presentation.
