CEO Commentary

Charles (Chip) Reeves, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We are pleased with our fourth quarter results which highlight the successful execution of our balance sheet repositioning, as well as the continued momentum of our strategic initiatives. Return on average assets eclipsed the 1.0% threshold, driven by significant expansion of our net interest margin, thus net interest income. Our core deposit franchise expanded, with noninterest bearing deposits increasing for the second consecutive quarter, reflecting our Treasury Management initiatives and strong branch network. Our Wealth Management focus, including our Investment Services and Private Wealth teams, continues to bear fruit as revenue increased 16% year-over-year. In addition, asset quality metrics improved from the third quarter, as the classified loans ratio improved 54 bps and the charge-off ratio was only 0.06%.”

Mr. Reeves continued, “2024 was an outstanding year of transformation and execution for MidWestOne. As we enter 2025, we are well positioned to become a consistent, high performing organization for the benefit of our stakeholders.”

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $152.6 million from the third quarter of 2024 and increased $23.4 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, due to higher net interest income and higher noninterest income. Excluding the pre-tax securities loss of $140.4 million that was recorded in the third quarter of 2024 in connection with balance sheet repositioning efforts, total revenue increased $12.3 million from the linked quarter. 

Net interest income of $48.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $11.4 million from the third quarter of 2024, due to higher earning asset yields and lower funding volumes and costs, partially offset by lower earning asset volumes. When compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, net interest income increased $16.4 million, due to higher earning asset yields and lower funding volumes and costs, partially offset by lower earning asset volumes.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $141.2 million from the linked quarter, due primarily to the securities impairment of $140.4 million recognized in the linked quarter related to the Company’s balance sheet repositioning, and increases of $1.1 million and $0.4 million in loan revenue and investment services and trust activities revenue, respectively. The increase in loan revenue stemmed from a favorable quarter-over-quarter change in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights. The increase in investment services and trust activities revenue was driven by growth in assets under administration and transaction fees. Partially offsetting these increases in noninterest income was a decrease of $0.3 million in other revenue.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $7.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increases of $5.9 million, $0.9 million and $0.6 million in investment securities gains (losses), net, loan revenue, and investment services and trust activities revenue, respectively. The increase in investment securities gains (losses), net stemmed primarily from a balance sheet repositioning loss recognized in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in loan revenue was driven by an increase of $0.6 million in SBA gain on sale, coupled with a favorable year-over-year change in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights. The increase in investment services and trust activities revenue was driven by growth in assets under administration and transaction fees. Partially offsetting these increases in noninterest income was a decrease of $0.5 million in other revenue, due primarily to a $0.3 million decline in swap origination fee income.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $1.6 million from the linked quarter, primarily due to increases in compensation and employee benefits and occupancy expense of premises, net, which increased $0.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The increase in compensation and employee benefits was primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in medical benefit expense compared to the linked quarter, as well as an increase in incentives and commissions. The increase in occupancy expense of premises, net was primarily driven by elevated property tax expense and building maintenance expense.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased $5.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2023. The largest contributors to the increase in noninterest expense were compensation and employee benefits, other expense, and occupancy expense of premises, net, which increased $2.8 million, $1.0 million, and $0.5 million, respectively. The increase in compensation and employee benefits expense was primarily driven by an increase in headcount, annual compensation adjustments, incentive expense due to improved performance, and medical benefit expense. The increase in other expense was driven by an increase of $1.0 million in customer deposit expense. The increase in occupancy expense of premises, net was primarily driven by higher property tax expense, partially offset by a reduction in building rental expense, which stemmed from the sale of our Florida banking operations and the consolidation of our legacy Denver branch.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 22.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 26.5% in the linked quarter. The decrease in the effective tax rate reflected the impact of the investment security impairments that were recorded in the third quarter of 2024 related to the balance sheet repositioning. The effective income tax rate for the full year 2025 is expected to be 22-24%.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Total assets were $6.24 billion at December 31, 2024, compared to $6.55 billion at September 30, 2024 and $6.43 billion at December 31, 2023. The decrease from September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by lower securities balances due to the sale of securities, with the proceeds from the sale being used to pay-off Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) borrowings and purchase higher yielding securities, as part of balance sheet repositioning efforts. Compared to December 31, 2023, the decrease was primarily driven by the sale of assets associated with our Florida banking operations and lower securities balances due to balance sheet repositioning transactions, partially offset by the assets acquired in the Denver Bankshares, Inc (“DNVB”) acquisition, as well as higher cash and loan balances.

Loans held for investment, net of unearned income, remained stable, reflecting a slight decrease of $13.1 million, or 0.3%, to $4.32 billion from $4.33 billion at September 30, 2024, primarily due to payoffs during the quarter.  

Loans held for investment, net of unearned income, increased $188.7 million, or 4.6%, to $4.32 billion from $4.13 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2023 was driven primarily by loans acquired in the DNVB transaction, organic loan growth, and higher line of credit usage. Partially offsetting these identified increases was a decline stemming from the sale of loans associated with our Florida banking operations.

Total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2024 decreased $2.5 million from September 30, 2024, driven primarily by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by an increase in retained earnings. Total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2024 increased $35.3 million from December 31, 2023, primarily due to increases in common stock and additional paid-in-capital stemming from the common equity capital raise in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by a decrease in retained earnings and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

On January 22, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.2425 per common share. The dividend is payable March 17, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 3, 2025.
