Sterling Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBT) (“Sterling” or the “Company”), the holding company of Sterling Bank and Trust, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), today reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

First Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Net income of $5.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share
  • Net interest margin of 3.03%
  • Non-interest expense of $19.4 million
  • Provision (recovery) for loan losses of $(4.3) million; ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans held for investment of 2.80%
  • Shareholders’ equity of $341.4 million
  • Bank capital ratios continue to be in excess of minimum ratios required to be considered “well-capitalized” with a leverage ratio of 13.65%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 23.29% and a common equity tier one ratio of 22.02%
  • The Company’s consolidated leverage ratio of 12.23%, total risk-based capital ratio of 23.21% and common equity tier one ratio of 19.72% continue to exceed minimum regulatory capital requirements
  • Total deposits of $2.2 billion
  • Total gross loans of $1.9 billion
  • Nonperforming loans and troubled debt restructurings were $46.9 million (or 2.50% of total loans held for investment) compared to $65.3 million (or 3.25% of total loans held for investment) at December 31, 2021
  • Sale of commercial real estate loans held for sale, primarily consisting of loans secured by single-room occupancy hotel properties, for cash proceeds of $49.6 million

The Company reported net income of $5.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $8.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

“Sterling’s first quarter of 2022 produced several improvements and milestones. Most importantly, our credit quality metrics continue the improvement that we have witnessed over the past few quarters. This was accomplished by both the continued hard work of our credit loss mitigation efforts and the successful sale of higher risk single room occupancy loans with original balances of approximately $62 million. Additionally, we continued to make meaningful progress on resolving the multiple regulatory matters as contained in our Formal Agreement with the OCC. The volume of remedial work remains substantial but the progress to date has been significant,” said Thomas M. O’Brien, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

Balance Sheet

Total Assets – Total assets of $2.8 billion as of March 31, 2022 reflected a decrease of $67.7 million, or 2%, from $2.9 billion at December 31, 2021.

Cash and due from banks increased $75.0 million, or 18%, to $486.7 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $411.7 million at December 31, 2021. Investment securities, which we consider part of our liquid assets, increased $50.5 million, or 16%, to $364.4 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $313.9 million at December 31, 2021.

Total loans held for investment of $1.9 billion at March 31, 2022 reflected a decline of $138.2 million, or 7%, from $2.0 billion at December 31, 2021. In regard to loans held for sale, in February 2022, the Company sold substantially all of the commercial real estate loans held for sale for cash proceeds of $49.6 million.

Total Deposits – Total deposits of $2.2 billion at March 31, 2022 reflected a decrease of $61.6 million, or 3%, from December 31, 2021. Money market, savings and NOW deposits of $1.3 billion were relatively unchanged from December 31, 2021. Time deposits decreased $76.0 million, or 9%, compared to December 31, 2021. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $64.9 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $63.8 million at December 31, 2021. There were no outstanding brokered deposits at March 31, 2022. Brokered deposits, included in time deposits, were $20.1 million at December 31, 2021.

Capital Total shareholders’ equity was $341.4 million as of March 31, 2022 compared to $343.6 million at December 31, 2021. The decline in shareholders’ equity is attributable to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) due to unrealized losses on our investment securities portfolio, which is primarily attributable to changes in market value due to the current rising interest rate environment. These changes do not necessarily impact our realized returns since the Bank has both the intent and ability to hold these investment securities until maturity or the price recovers.

The Bank, after consultation with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), determined that a risk-weighting of 100% should be applied to its Advantage Loan Program loans under the risk weighting requirements set forth under the Basel III capital rules for first-lien residential mortgage exposures commencing with the first quarter of 2022. Previously, the Company and the Bank generally applied a 50% risk weight to the Advantage Loan Program loans. The Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements required to be considered “well-capitalized” as of March 31, 2022, and the Company exceeded all applicable minimum regulatory capital requirements as of such date, as summarized in the following tables:

Asset Quality and Provision (Recovery) for Loan Losses – A provision (recovery) for loan losses of $(4.3) million was recorded for the first quarter of 2022 compared to a provision (recovery) for $(6.1) million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2022 was $52.5 million, or 2.80% of total loans held for investment, compared to $56.5 million, or 2.81% of total loans held for investment, at December 31, 2021.

Net recoveries during the first quarter of 2022 were $0.2 million compared to net charge offs of $7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net charge offs in the fourth quarter of 2021 included $7.9 million in write-downs of our recorded investment in commercial real estate loans reclassified to loans held for sale from loans held for investment.

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2022 totaled $54.1 million, or 1.93% of total assets, compared to $83.3 million, or 2.90% of total assets, at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2022 included $44.2 million of nonperforming loans held for investment, $7.2 million of nonaccrual loans held for sale and $2.7 million of troubled debt restructurings. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2021 included $62.6 million of nonperforming loans held for investment, $18.0 million of nonaccrual loans held for sale and $2.7 million of troubled debt restructurings. Total gross loans delinquent 30 days or more decreased during the first quarter of 2022 to $81.4 million, or 4.3% of total gross loans, from $118.8 million, or 5.7% of total gross loans, at December 31, 2021.

“We continue to see improvement across all of our credit metrics. Included in the nonperforming assets are $44.6 million of residential Advantage Loan Program loans of which approximately $16.9 million are paying currently and likely will be moved to accrual status in the current year,” said O’Brien.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin – Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $21.3 million compared to $21.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $23.2 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decline in net interest income was due primarily to a decline in the average balance of our loan portfolio of $170.9 million, or 8%, from $2.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $2.0 billion in the first quarter of 2022, while the average balance of lower-yielding securities and other interest-earning liquid assets in the first quarter of 2022 increased $17.7 million, or 2%, to $802.8 million compared to $785.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The overall decline in interest income on interest earning assets was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense since our average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits declined from 0.47% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 0.43% in the first quarter of 2022. Our average interest-bearing deposits decreased $58.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 from $2.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased in the first quarter of 2022 due to our repayment of borrowings of $157.0 million with the FHLB in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The net interest margin of 3.03% for the first quarter of 2022 increased compared to 2.94% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2.45% for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in our net interest margin in the first quarter of 2022 was favorably impacted by an increase in the average rate on interest earning assets of 4 basis points and a decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities of 4 basis points, each as compared to the immediately prior quarter. The increase in the average rate on interest earning assets in the first quarter of 2022 related to interest collected from nonperforming commercial real estate loans and construction loans.

Non-Interest Income – Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $1.4 million, a $2.2 million decrease from $3.6 million for the immediately prior quarter. Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 included $2.9 million received from one of our insurance carriers in settlement of one of our policies at the same time as the settlement of the class action lawsuit. This decrease was partially offset by approximately $0.4 million in recoveries of the loan valuation losses previously taken on the commercial real estate portfolio during the period it was reflected as loans held for sale and an increase in net servicing income of $0.3 million due primarily to an increase in long-term interest rates, which increased the value of mortgage servicing rights.

Non-Interest Expense – Non-interest expense of $19.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 reflected a decrease of $0.5 million, or 2%, compared to $19.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in professional fees incurred due to the completion of certain refinements to the Bank’s BSA/AML compliance programs from the fourth quarter of 2021. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits. The fourth quarter of 2021 includes a reversal of deferred compensation of $0.5 million that was forfeited in connection with an employee’s termination of service.

Income Tax Expense – The effective tax rate was 30.3% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 30.2% for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Mr. O’Brien said, “Finally, the government investigations with respect to the Advantage Loan Program have progressed significantly, and we have recently commenced discussions with the DOJ and OCC regarding possible resolution of the investigations. It is too early in the process for us to have any clarity on the final outcome of the investigations. We would hope to be able to report further on our progress during the third quarter, but we have no control over the timing, and much work still needs to be done. The board and management are working diligently to cooperate fully with every aspect of these investigations and will continue to do so.”
