NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. ("CapStar") (NASDAQ:CSTR) today reported net income of $7.8 million or $0.37 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared with net income of $6.4 million or $0.30 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and net income of $10.0 million or $0.45 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was 0.98% and 8.95%, respectively.

Revenue

Total revenue, defined as net interest income plus noninterest income, was $28.8 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023 revenue of $29.5 million. Second quarter net interest income decreased $0.6 million from the prior quarter to $22.6 million while noninterest income declined $0.1 million to $6.2 million.

Second quarter 2023 average earning assets increased $48.8 million to $2.97 billion compared to the first quarter 2023. The growth in average earning assets was attributed to a $43.1 million, or 7% linked-quarter annualized, increase in loans held for investment while the related yield increased 30 basis points from the prior quarter to 5.79%.

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 all efforts on liquidity management. While second quarter 2023 end of period loan held for investment balances declined versus the first quarter of 2023, the Company maintains strong lending capabilities in robust markets and is pleased with $76.5 million of growth in customer deposit balances that have occurred from May 31, through July 19, 2023 and improvement in insured or collateralized deposits to 75.5% as of June 30, 2023.

The net interest margin decreased 18 basis points from the prior quarter to 3.06%. The decline in net interest margin was principally related to the pace at which market deposit rates are rising as a result of intense market competition in relation to the repricing of the Company's loan portfolio. The total cost of deposits increased 49 basis points from the first quarter of 2023 to 2.26% in the second quarter of 2023.

Second quarter 2023 noninterest income as compared to the first quarter of 2023 benefited from increased servicing fee income offset by declines in deposit service charges and mortgage banking. SBA production and pipeline remains strong with the enhanced benefit of escalating servicing income now contributing over $800 thousand on an annualized basis. 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 $19.2 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $19.1 million in the first quarter of 2023. Second quarter noninterest expense included $122 thousand related to the anticipated changes in legislation for stock repurchase taxation. During the quarter, the Company identified approximately $3.0 million of annualized expense reductions with partial implementation in late June and the remainder anticipated throughout the second half of 2023.

The efficiency ratio was 66.61% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 64.60% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Annualized noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets was 2.41% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 which is a decrease of 4 basis points compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Assets per employee increased to $8.3 million as of June 30, 2023 compared to $8.1 million in the previous quarter.

Asset Quality

Despite a decrease in end of period loans held for investment and unfunded commitments versus the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a nominal provision of $22 thousand during the second quarter due to the continued overall macroeconomic uncertainty. Net loan charge-offs in second quarter totaled $0.2 million or 0.03% annualized of average loans held for investment.

Past due loans improved to $3.6 million or 0.15% of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2023 compared to $8.5 million or 0.35% of total loans held for investment at March 31, 2023. The improvement was related to one relationship totaling $5.8 million which became current during the second quarter. Past dues include a $1.3 million relationship that is well secured and is in the process of being liquidated with no expected loss.

Non-performing assets to total loans held for investment and OREO were 0.48% at June 30, 2023 compared to 0.42% at March 31, 2023. Non-performing assets include two relationships totaling approximately $8.0 million which entered forbearance agreements and were brought current during the first quarter. The Company is optimistic these relationships will return to accrual status in the third quarter with recognition of full interest income not recognized while on nonaccrual.

The allowance for credit losses related to loans increased to 1.08% as of June 30, 2023 compared to 1.05% as of March 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses related to unfunded commitments decreased to 0.43% of available balances as of June 30, 2023 from 0.47% at March 31, 2023.

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.
