Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. Earnings Increase 53% to $4.7 Million, or $0.44 Per Share in 2Q21 from 2Q20; 2021 Record Six Month Earnings of $10.2 million, Increase of 80% from 2020; Annualized Gross Loan Growth of 12% and Asset Quality Continues to Improve; Board Approves 5% Stock Repurchase Program

EAU CLAIRE, Wis., July 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CZWI), the parent company of Citizens Community Federal N.A. (the “Bank” or “CCFBank”), today reported earnings of $4.7 million or $0.44 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $5.5 million, or $0.50 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and $3.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Net income as adjusted (non-GAAP)1 was also $4.7 million or $0.44 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2021 as there were no adjustments to any income or expense items during the quarter, compared to net income as adjusted of $5.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share for the preceding quarter and $2.8 million or $0.25 per diluted share for the second quarter a year ago. For the first six months of 2021, earnings increased 80% to a record $10.2 million, or $0.94 per diluted share compared to earnings of $5.7 million or $0.51 per share, for the first six months of 2020. On July 23, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a new 5% stock repurchase plan as described below.

The Company’s second quarter 2021 operating results reflected the following changes from the first quarter of 2021: (1) modest increase in net interest income resulting from an increase in the investment portfolio size and lower deposit cost; which was largely offset by a decrease in the accretion of deferred fees on the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (“SBA PPP”) and a decrease in accretion due to reductions of purchased credit impaired loans; (2) lower gains on securities sales; and (3) an increase in net mortgage servicing expenses of $0.9 million largely due to the reversal of $0.9 million of previously recorded MSR impairment in the first quarter of 2021.

Book value per share was $15.33 at June 30, 2021, compared to $14.75 at March 31, 2021, and $13.70 at June 30, 2020. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP)5 was $11.95 at June 30, 2021 compared to $11.39 at March 31, 2021 and $10.31 at June 30, 2020. Book value per share increased $1.63 over the past 12 months, an 11.9% increase from June 30, 2020. Tangible book value per share increased $1.64 over the past 12 months, a 15.9% increase from June 30, 2020. Additionally, the Company increased and paid an annual dividend, which increased 10% to $0.23 per share on February 25, 2021.

“Our effort over the last year and a half to strengthen our culture of caring for customers and colleagues and accountability for our strategic and tactical execution is evidenced in our results. The 16% increase in tangible book value year over year, further asset quality improvements to peer group levels and disciplined expense management are examples of a focused team. We saw a nice rebound this quarter in loan growth (12% annualized) following the seasonally slow first quarter which was supported by low unemployment rates in our markets that are below the national averages. Our loan pipeline remains strong entering the summer months and we are optimistic about our loan growth prospects in the third quarter,” said Stephen Bianchi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

June 30, 2021 Highlights: (as of or for the 3-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020.)

  • Quarterly earnings of $4.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, were the second highest in the Company’s history, down modestly from the record quarter ended March 31, 2021 earnings of $5.5 million or $0.50 per diluted share. Fiscal 2021 earnings are on pace to exceed fiscal 2020’s record earnings. Year-over-year earnings for the six-month ended June 30, 2021 were $10.2 million, or $0.94 per share compared to $5.7 million, or $0.51 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
     
  • Stockholders’ equity as a percent of total assets was 9.57% at June 30, 2021, compared to 9.27% at March 31, 2021. Tangible common equity (“TCE”) as a percent of tangible assets (non-GAAP)5 was 7.62% at June 30, 2021, compared to 7.32% at March 31, 2021. “We were pleased with growth in equity ratios during the quarter as we approach 8.00%. We utilized a portion of our strong earnings to repurchase 198 thousand shares of stock during the quarter at an average price of $13.21. We balance the positive effect on earnings per share with the impact on TCE ratio and regulatory capital ratios. The shares repurchased have reduced outstanding shares by almost 5% which impacts earnings per share positively, while reducing TCE ratio growth by approximately 35 basis points.” said James Broucek, Executive Vice President and CFO.
     
  • No loan loss provision was realized during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 due to improved asset quality, lower CARES Act Section 4013 deferrals, and low charge-off activity. Economic conditions in our markets continued to improve from those seen in the last quarter of 2020. This has led to improving trends for businesses most impacted by the pandemic, which allowed the Company to reduce its general economic Q-Factor allocation in its allowance calculation. Further reductions in loans deferred under Section 4013 of the CARES Act and improvements in our markets’ business activities due to the timing and efficacy of vaccinations, and related impact on consumer behavior and business activities would allow further reductions in this economic Q-Factor.
     
  • The Bank’s COVID-19 related modifications under Section 4013 of the CARES Act totaled $35.7 million, or 3% of gross loans at June 30, 2021, versus $57.3 million, or 5% of gross loans at March 31, 2021. At June 30, 2021, hotel industry sector loans represent $31.1 million of the approved deferrals. The Company granted a third deferral on two urban hotels for interest only payments with similar ownership totaling $19.2 million, with the borrower depositing two years’ worth of principal and interest at the Bank. The occupancy rate on the Bank’s hotel portfolio has increased each month for the past five months ending May 31, 2021. Approximately $14 million of commercial loan modifications are scheduled to return to making their original principal and interest payments in the third quarter.
     
  • The allowance for loan losses on originated loans, excluding SBA PPP loans, decreased to 1.72% at June 30, 2021, from 1.84% at March 31, 2021 due to loan growth and no provision for loan losses. Since SBA PPP loans are guaranteed by the SBA, they are excluded from this reserve calculation. Additionally, loans resulting from Bank acquisitions were effectively marked to market value at the time of their acquisition and were also excluded from this reserve calculation. The allowance for loan losses of $16.8 million, is allocated $15.0 million to the originated loan portfolio and $1.8 million to the acquired loan portfolio.
  • Nonperforming assets continued to decline and at June 30, 2021, were $8.8 million compared to $9.3 million one quarter earlier, or a reduction of 6%.
     
  • On July 23, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock repurchase program. Under this program the Company may repurchase up to 532 thousand shares of its common stock, or 5% of the current outstanding shares, after the existing repurchase program is completed. The repurchase program permits shares to be repurchased in open market or private transactions, from time to time, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion at prices management considers to be attractive and in the best interests of both the Company and its stockholders, subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the applicable trading price, future alternative advantageous uses for capital, and the Company’s financial performance. Open market purchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares.

Balance Sheet and Asset Quality

Total assets decreased $17.8 million during the quarter to $1.71 billion at June 30, 2021, compared to $1.73 billion at March 31, 2021, largely due to modest shrinkage in liabilities in the quarter which allowed the Bank to reduce interest-bearing cash and shrink assets.

Securities available for sale increased $58.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 to $243.7 million from $185.2 million at March 31, 2021. This growth was largely through the purchase of 30-year agency mortgage-backed securities and subordinated debt issued by banks.

Loans receivable decreased by $10 million to $1.182 billion at June 30, 2021. The originated loan portfolio before SBA PPP loans increased $60.5 million in the quarter. Acquired loans decreased by $26.7 million. Total SBA PPP loans decreased $44.0 million.

The allowance for loan losses was $16.8 million and remained flat at June 30, 2021, representing 1.43% of loans receivable compared to $16.9 million at March 31, 2021, representing 1.41% of loans receivable. Excluding the SBA PPP loans, which are guaranteed by the SBA, the allowance for loan losses was 1.52% at June 30, 2021, compared to 1.57% at March 31, 2021. Approximately 21% of the loan portfolio, excluding SBA loans at June 30, 2021, consists of loans purchased through whole bank acquisitions resulting in these loans being recorded at fair market value at acquisition. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of originated loans excluding SBA PPP loans was 1.72% at June 30, 2021, compared to 1.84% at March 31, 2021 due to growth in the originated loan portfolio. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Bank had net charge-offs of $0.015 million.

Deposits decreased $9 million to $1.37 billion at June 30, 2021, from $1.38 billion at March 31,2021. The decrease in certificates of deposit more than offset the $23 million increase in non-maturity deposits. The decrease in certificates of deposit was due to the Company choosing not to match higher rate local retail certificate competition.

Review of Operations

Net interest income was $12.8 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to $12.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 and $12.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Net interest income benefited from growth in the investment portfolio and lower deposit costs offset by lower SBA PPP net loan fee accretion, largely due to the impact of changes in accretion on debt forgiveness and decreased accretion due to reductions of purchased credit impaired loans compared to the prior quarter. The net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased to 3.22% in the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to 3.31% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021. This decrease is largely due to a (1) 12 basis point reduction in SBA PPP net loan fee accretion and a (2) 3 basis point decrease in accretion due to reductions of purchased credit impaired loans, partially offset by the impact of lower liability costs.

The NIM decreased to 3.22% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 from 3.34% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The NIM decreased approximately 12 basis points due to the higher interest-bearing cash balances during 2021 compared to 2020. Lower accretion on the reduction of purchased credit impaired loans decreased the NIM by 7 basis points in 2021 compared to 2020. Other reductions to NIM included lower yielding loans and investment securities as a result of the dramatic reduction in interest rates in March 2020. The NIM benefited 27 basis points from lower liability costs and 19 basis points from increased SBA PPP net loan fee accretion quarter over quarter.

The table below shows the impact of accretion related to purchased credit impaired loans and SBA PPP loans on interest income and NIM.

The Bank continued to manage deposit interest rates, as various non-maturity deposit product rates were reduced, and interest rates on new and renewed certificates of deposit were lower than the previous quarter. These actions reduced the cost of deposits by 9 basis points in the quarter ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, the Bank had approximately $110 million of certificate of deposit accounts maturing in 2021 with a weighted average cost of approximately 1.0% and approximately $127 million of certificate of deposit accounts maturing in 2022 with a weighted average cost of approximately 1.8%. The 2021 maturities are generally evenly spread throughout the remainder of the year, with approximately 85% of the 2022 maturities occurring in the first half of 2022. The approximate weighted average cost of new certificates in the second quarter of 2021 was below 0.5%.

Loan loss provisions were zero for the quarters ended June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021 and $1.8 million one year earlier. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, asset quality improved as indicated by a lower level of non-performing assets, substandard assets and lower loan deferrals under Section 4013 of the Cares Act. Improved general business activity also allowed the Company to reduce its general economic Q-factor, which reduced the allowance allocated for this factor. In addition, a reduction in loan deferrals reduced the allowance allocated to such deferrals. These reductions were largely offset by allowance allocation increases due to loan growth and a modest increase in specific reserves. For the six-month ended June 30, 2021, provision for loan losses was zero compared to $3.75 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The year-to-date June 30, 2020 provision for loan losses expense due to the impact of the pandemic was approximately $2 million, with the remaining provision split evenly due to loan growth and changes in credit quality.

Non-interest income decreased to $3.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $4.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and decreased $1.2 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the second quarter compared to the first quarter was largely due to a reduction in gain on sale of securities of $0.2 million. Gains on sale of loans decreased during the quarter due to lower mortgage origination activity partially offset by increased gains on sale of SBA loans. The decrease in non-interest income during the current quarter compared to the comparable prior year quarter year was a result of the following factors: (1) lower gain on sale of loans, (2) lower loan servicing income, (3) no gain on sale of acquired business lines, (4) no settlement income and (5) no insurance commission income in the second quarter of 2021.

Total non-interest expense increased $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 to $10.2 million compared to $9.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and decreased from $11.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The increase from the first quarter was largely due to the reversal of $0.9 million of previously recorded MSR impairment in the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by the first quarter debt termination cost of $0.1 million and second quarter lower compensation and FDIC premium assessment. The decrease from the second quarter of 2020 was largely due to higher interest rates which decreased variable incentive compensation and resulted in lower MSR impairment and amortization of $0.5 million. In addition, compensation was impacted by fewer FTE’s in the second quarter of 2021.

Provisions for income taxes, decreased to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 from the first quarter of 2021 at $1.9 million. The effective tax rate for the most recent quarter was 26.8% compared to 26.1% for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate was 26.5% for the comparable prior year quarter.

These financial results are preliminary until the Form 10-Q is filed in August 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as net income as adjusted, net income as adjusted per share, tangible book value, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity as a percent of tangible assets, return on average tangible common equity and return on average tangible common equity as adjusted, which management believes may be helpful in understanding the Company’s results of operations or financial position and comparing results over different periods.

Net income as adjusted and net income as adjusted per share are non-GAAP measures that eliminate the impact of certain expenses such as acquisition and branch closure costs and related data processing termination fees, legal costs, severance pay, accelerated depreciation expense and lease termination fees, the gain on sale of branch deposits and fixed assets and the net impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which management believes enhances investors’ ability to better understand the underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. Merger related charges represent expenses to either satisfy contractual obligations of acquired entities without any useful benefit to the Company or to convert and consolidate customer records onto the Company platforms. These costs are unique to each transaction based on the contracts in existence at the merger date. Tangible book value, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity as a percent of tangible assets and return on average tangible common equity are non-GAAP measures that eliminate the impact of preferred stock equity, goodwill, and intangible assets on our financial position. Management believes these measures are useful in assessing the strength of our financial position.

Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this press release. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other banks and financial institutions.
