First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. (NASDAQ:FIBK) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2023. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $56.3 million, or $0.54 per share, which compares to net income of $85.8 million, or $0.82 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and a net loss of $33.4 million, or $0.36 per share, for the first quarter of 2022.

Earnings include pre-tax acquisition costs of $3.9 million and $65.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2022, respectively, which were related to the acquisition of Great Western Bancorp, Inc. ("Great Western"), the parent company of Great Western Bank ("GWB"), which reduced earnings by $0.03 and $0.57 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2022, respectively. The first quarter of 2023 did not include comparable costs.

HIGHLIGHTS

Net income of $56.3 million, or $0.54 per share, for the first quarter of 2023, was impacted by an available-for-sale investment securities loss of $23.4 million, as well as a $1.9 million fair value adjustment on loans held for sale, or $0.18 per share.
Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, decreased to 3.36% for the first quarter of 2023, a 25 basis point decrease from the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding income related to purchase accounting accretion, the adjusted net interest margin¹, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, decreased to 3.29% for the first quarter of 2023, a 20 basis point decrease from the fourth quarter of 2022.
Loans held for investment increased $146.5 million, or an annualized 3.2% during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Commercial loans increased $145.4 million, or an annualized 20%, reflecting a continued focus on relationship lending. Total real estate loans increased $78.4 million, or an annualized 2.4%, as an increase in commercial real estate loans was partially offset by a decrease in construction loans. Loans held for investment to deposit ratio increased to 75.7%, as of March 31, 2023, compared to 72.2% as of December 31, 2022 and 60.3% as of March 31, 2022.
Book value per common share was $30.28 as of March 31, 2023, compared to $29.43 as of December 31, 2022, and $31.42 as of March 31, 2022. Tangible book value per common share¹ was $18.57 as of March 31, 2023, compared to $17.69 as of December 31, 2022 and $19.78 as of March 31, 2022, driven by an increase in retained earnings and changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

"Throughout our more than 50-year history, First Interstate has prioritized prudent risk management with respect to all aspects of our operations, and as a result, we have continued to be a source of strength and stability for our clients during this challenging period for the banking industry," said Kevin P. Riley, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. "Due to the loyal client base we have built, we have seen exceptional stability in our deposit base since the recent bank failures occurred, and we are seeing net growth in new deposit accounts as clients seek stability in their banking relationship."

"Our first quarter performance evidenced the strong position of the company as we navigate the current uncertain environment. We are well positioned to effectively manage through a wide range of economic scenarios, with strong levels of capital, ample liquidity, and a flexible balance sheet and therefore are not currently contemplating any changes to our strategic planning for the remainder of the year. While prudent risk management will continue to be our top priority, we believe this is a favorable environment for First Interstate to grow our client base, which will contribute to our continued long-term profitable growth and further increase the value of our franchise," said Mr. Riley.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

On April 25, 2023, the Company's board of directors declared a dividend of $0.47 per common share, payable on May 18, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of May 8, 2023. The dividend equates to a 5.3% annualized yield based on the $35.20 per share average closing price of the Company's common stock as reported on NASDAQ during the first quarter of 2023.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income decreased $19.5 million, or 7.5%, to $238.9 million, during the first quarter of 2023, compared to net interest income of $258.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of a higher cost of interest-bearing deposits, a shift into higher cost deposits from non-interest-bearing deposits, higher levels of short-term borrowings, and a $3.2 million decrease in purchase accounting accretion. Net interest income increased $60.5 million, or 33.9%, during the first quarter of 2023, from $178.4 million during the first quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of the full quarter impact of the GWB acquisition.

Interest accretion attributable to the fair valuation of acquired loans from acquisitions contributed to net interest income during the first quarter of 2023, the fourth quarter of 2022, and the first quarter of 2022, in the amounts of $5.2 million, $8.4 million, and $7.6 million respectively.

The net interest margin ratio was 3.36% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 3.61% reported during the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2.80% during the first quarter of 2022. Excluding interest accretion from the fair value of acquired loans, on a quarter-over-quarter basis, the net interest margin ratio decreased 20 basis points, primarily driven by higher short-term borrowing costs, and higher interest-bearing deposit costs, which was partially offset by loan and investment yield expansion. On the same basis year-over-year, the increase in net interest margin was primarily the result of increased yields on earning assets and a shift in the mix of earning assets from cash to investment securities and loans, partially offset by higher short-term borrowings and higher costs of interest-bearing liabilities.

PROVISION FOR (REDUCTION OF) CREDIT LOSSES

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $15.2 million, including a provision for unfunded commitments of $1.6 million and provision for investment securities of $1.4 million. The increase to the provision for credit losses was primarily a result of loan growth and modest credit migration. This compares to a provision for credit losses of $14.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2022 and $61.3 million during the first quarter of 2022. The decrease from the first quarter of 2022 was primarily related to elevated expected credit losses resulting from the GWB acquisition during the first quarter of 2022.

For the first quarter of 2023, the allowance for credit losses included net charge-offs of $6.2 million, or an annualized 0.14% of average loans outstanding, compared to net charge-offs of $1.1 million, or an annualized 0.02% of average loans outstanding, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and net charge-offs of $16.7 million, or an annualized 0.47% of average loans outstanding, for the first quarter of 2022.

The Company's allowance for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loans held for investment increased to 1.24% at March 31, 2023 from 1.22% at December 31, 2022, and decreased from 1.46% at March 31, 2022. Coverage of non-performing loans decreased to 265.1% at March 31, 2023, compared to 335.5% at December 31, 2022 and increased from 203.3% at March 31, 2022.

Non-interest income during the first quarter of 2023 decreased $25.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The primary driver of the decrease was the result of the realized loss of $23.4 million on the disposition of available-for-sale investment securities and a reduction of $1.9 million related to the fair value of loans held for sale recognized through other income. The Company sold $853.0 million in carrying value of available-for-sale investment securities, with proceeds to be used to reduce our short-term borrowings early in the second quarter of 2023.

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, non-interest income decreased $32.4 million. The decrease was primarily due to the realized loss of $23.4 million on the disposition of available-for-sale investment securities and a $6.1 million decrease in mortgage banking revenues.

Total non-interest expense	$	165.8	$	175.3	$	(9.5	)	(5.4	)%	$	207.2	$	(41.4	)	(20.0	)%

The Company's non-interest expense was $165.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $9.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2022. The quarter over quarter decrease was primarily driven by lower incentive compensation, lower acquisition related expenses, and a write down of other real estate owned during the fourth quarter of 2022. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in employee benefits due to the seasonal reset of payroll taxes.

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, non-interest expense decreased by $41.4 million. The decrease is largely due to the acquisition expenses related to the acquisition of GWB in the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by a full quarter of increased expenses reflecting the combined entity.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets decreased $650.1 million, or 2.0%, to $31,637.7 million as of March 31, 2023, from $32,287.8 million as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in investment securities. Total assets decreased $1,524.5 million, or 4.6%, from $33,162.2 million as of March 31, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents as a result of declines in deposits.

Investment securities decreased $972.4 million, or 9.4%, to $9,425.5 million as of March 31, 2023, from $10,397.9 million as of December 31, 2022, and decreased $77.0 million, or 0.8%, from $9,502.5 million as of March 31, 2022. The decrease in the current quarter was the result of the disposition of investment securities with the proceeds primarily to be used to reduce other borrowed funds early in the second quarter of 2023.

The decreases in securities sold under repurchase agreements correspond with fluctuations in the liquidity of the Company's clients.

Other borrowed funds is comprised of Federal Home Loan Bank variable rate overnight and fixed rate borrowings in tenors up to three-months. Other borrowed funds increased $383.0 million, or 16.5%, to $2,710.0 million as of March 31, 2023, from $2,327.0 million as of December 31, 2022 and increased $2,710.0 million from March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2023, non-performing assets increased $20.4 million, or 26.1%, to $98.7 million, compared to $78.3 million as of December 31, 2022, primarily driven by an increase in non-accrual loans of $21.6 million, or 36.5%, and an increase in property classified as other real estate owned of $0.7 million, or 5.5%, partially offset by a decrease in accruing loans past due 90 days or more of $1.9 million.

Criticized loans increased $6.5 million, or 1.1%, to $621.6 million as of March 31, 2023, from $615.1 million as of December 31, 2022.

Net loan charge-offs increased to $6.2 million during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to $1.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. The net loan charge-offs in the first quarter of 2023 were composed of charge-offs of $8.9 million and recoveries of $2.7 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, this press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate our performance relative to our capital adequacy standards: (i) tangible common stockholders' equity; (ii) tangible assets; (iii) tangible book value per common share; (iv) tangible common stockholders' equity to tangible assets; (v) average tangible common stockholders' equity; (vi) return on average tangible common stockholders' equity; and (vii) adjusted net interest margin. Tangible common stockholders' equity is calculated as total common stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Tangible assets are calculated as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Tangible book value per common share is calculated as tangible common stockholders' equity divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible common stockholders' equity to tangible assets is calculated as tangible common stockholders' equity divided by tangible assets. Average tangible common stockholders' equity is calculated as average stockholders' equity less average goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Return on average tangible common stockholders' equity is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common stockholders' equity. Adjusted net interest margin ratio (FTE) is calculated as adjusted net FTE interest income divided by adjusted average interest earning assets. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies because other companies may not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. They also should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company adjusts the most directly comparable capital adequacy GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures described in subclauses (i) through (vi) above to exclude goodwill and other intangible assets (except mortgage servicing rights). To derive the non-GAAP financial measure identified in subclause (vii) above, the Company adjusts its net interest income to include its FTE interest income and exclude purchase accounting interest accretion on acquired loans and PPP loan income, and it adjusts average interest-earning assets to exclude average PPP loan balances. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by banking regulators and to present on a consistent basis our and our acquired companies' organic continuing operations without regard to acquisition costs and other adjustments that we consider to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside our control, are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance because, as a general matter, they either do not represent an actual cash expense and are inconsistent in amount and frequency depending upon the timing and size of our acquisitions (including the size, complexity and/or volume of past acquisitions, which may drive the magnitude of acquisition related costs, but may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of future acquisitions or related costs), or they cannot be anticipated or estimated in a particular period (in particular as it relates to unexpected recovery amounts). This impacts the ratios that are important to analysts and allows investors to compare certain aspects of the Company's capitalization to other companies.

See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures table included herein and the textual discussion for a reconciliation of the above described non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The referenced relief ends on December 31, 2024 which allows a total five-year phase-in of the impact of CECL on capital and relief over the next two years for the impact on the allowance for credit losses resulting from the COVID‑19 pandemic.

⁽¹⁾ Average loan balances include loans held for sale and non-accrual loans. Interest income on loans includes amortization of deferred loan fees net of deferred loan costs of $0.9 million, $1.2 million, and $3.5 million at March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, respectively.
⁽²⁾ Management believes fully taxable equivalent, or FTE, interest income is useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance as a comparison of the returns between a tax-free investment and a taxable alternative. The Company adjusts interest income and average rates for tax exempt loans and securities to a FTE basis utilizing a 21.00% and 26.25% tax rate for 2023 and 2022, respectively.
⁽³⁾ Net FTE interest margin during the period equals (i) the difference between annualized interest income on interest-earning assets and the annualized interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, divided by (ii) average interest-earning assets for the period.
⁽⁴⁾ Calculated by dividing total annualized interest on interest-bearing liabilities by the sum of total interest-bearing liabilities plus non-interest-bearing deposits.
