LOWELL, Mass., April 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:EBTC), parent of Enterprise Bank, announced net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022, of $10.3 million, or $0.85 per diluted common share, compared to $10.4 million, or $0.86 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

As previously announced on April 19, 2022, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.205 per common share to be paid on June 1, 2022, to shareholders of record as of May 11, 2022.

Chief Executive Officer Jack Clancy commented, "Our first quarter financial results were solid and reflected strong growth in our core operations and the lower impact from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Net interest income, excluding PPP, increased by 13% over the prior year period. Loan growth, excluding PPP, ("core loans," non-GAAP) was also strong, increasing 3% from December 31, 2021 (12% annualized) and 12% compared to March 31, 2021."

Mr. Clancy further noted, "During the quarter, we continued to experience high liquidity. The balance in interest-earning deposits with banks averaged $381.5 million for the three-month period. Our high liquidity position has resulted primarily from significant customer deposit growth in 2020 and 2021 and from PPP loan forgiveness, partially offset by growth in the investment and loan portfolios in 2021." Mr. Clancy added, "The yield on the majority of our excess liquidity balance increased to 0.40% from 0.15% on March 16^th when the Federal Reserve Bank increased the federal funds rate."

Executive Chairman & Founder George Duncan commented, "Other significant items during the quarter were the quarterly dividend declaration of a $0.205 per share on April 19^th, an increase of 11% over the prior year period, the relocation of our temporary Lexington branch to its permanent location on March 14^th, and the continued construction of our Londonderry branch, which is expected to open in May." Mr. Duncan continued, "This will be our 8^th branch in Southern New Hampshire, and it is in a highly visible location. Londonderry will be our third branch opening since the pandemic began, along with Lexington in 2020 and North Andover in 2021, and reflects our strategy of contiguous organic expansion into strong commercial markets."

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022, amounted to $10.3 million, a decrease of $65 thousand compared to the prior year period. Pre-tax income decreased by $330 thousand, or 2%, over the same periods. The effective tax rate was 22.9% at March 31, 2022, compared to 24.3% at March 31, 2021.

The decrease in pre-tax income was attributable primarily to a decrease in net interest income of $703 thousand and an increase in non-interest expense of $1.1 million, partially offset by an increase in non-interest income of $1.3 million.
Current period tax expense benefited from a lower effective tax rate compared to the prior year period due to increases in tax-exempt income, lower-taxed income at investment security corporations and discrete tax benefits related to stock-based compensation transactions.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022, amounted to $34.0 million, a decrease of $703 thousand, or 2%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The decrease in net interest income was due largely to a decrease in PPP income of $4.5 million, partially offset by increases in loan income, excluding PPP (non-GAAP), of $1.6 million, investment security income of $1.2 million, and a decrease in deposit interest expense of $942 thousand.
PPP income amounted to $1.5 million for three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
PPP loans amounted to $32.2 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $484.2 million at March 31, 2021, a decrease of $452.0 million, or 93%, due to the continued forgiveness of PPP loans during the period.

Net Interest Margin

Tax equivalent net interest margin ("net interest margin" or "margin") was 3.28% and 3.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Margin has also been negatively impacted by large balances in lower-yielding interest-earning deposits with banks, and to a lesser extent, PPP loans, as illustrated below.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Average interest-earning deposits with banks amounted to $381.5 million and $279.8 million, respectively.
Average PPP loan balances, net of deferred SBA fees, amounted to $48.9 million and $452.8 million, respectively.
Adjusted net interest margin (non-GAAP) was 3.47% and 3.68%, respectively.

Other key items impacting margin for the period ended March 31, 2022, compared to the prior year period included:

Average investment securities increased $472.8 million, or 55%, and the yield decreased 22 basis points.
Average core loans (non-GAAP) increased $248.5 million, or 10%, and the yield decreased 15 basis points.
Average customer deposits increased $394.5 million, or 11%, and the yield decreased 6 basis points.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, amounted to $530 thousand, a decrease of $150 thousand, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The provision for the period ended March 31, 2022, resulted primarily from core loan growth (non-GAAP), partially offset by decreases in reserves for individually evaluated loans and unfunded commitments (included in other liabilities).

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022, amounted to $5.6 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 30%, compared to three months ended March 31, 2021.

The increase in non-interest income resulted primarily from increases in net gains on sales of debt securities of $934 thousand. Excluding the increase in net gains on sales of debt securities, non-interest income increased $362 thousand, or 9%.
Other components of the increase included deposit and interchange fees of $196 thousand and income on bank-owned life insurance of $159 thousand, partially offset by greater losses on equity investment fair values of $151 thousand (included in other income).

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, amounted to $25.8 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Non-interest expense in the prior year period included a loss on the extinguishment of subordinated debt of $713 thousand. Excluding this item, non-interest expense increased $1.8 million, or 7%.
The increase in non-interest expense resulted primarily from increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.1 million, advertising and public relations expense of $153 thousand, deposit insurance premiums of $200 thousand, and audit legal and professional of $143 thousand.

Credit Quality

The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for loans amounted to $48.4 million, or 1.63% of total loans, at March 31, 2022, compared to $47.7 million, or 1.63% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. The ACL to total core loans ratio (non-GAAP) decreased to 1.65% from 1.67% over the respective periods. The reserve for unfunded commitments (included in other liabilities) amounted to $3.4 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 2021.

Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2022, amounted to $105 thousand, compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net charge-offs for the prior year period related primarily to an individually evaluated commercial real estate loan, which was fully reserved for prior to 2021.

Non-performing assets amounted to $25.2 million, or 0.57% of total assets, at March 31, 2022, compared to $26.5 million, or 0.60% of total assets, at December 31, 2021.

Balance Sheet

Total assets amounted to $4.45 billion at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Total interest-earning deposits with banks amounted to $384.5 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $403.0 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $18.6 million, or 5%.

Total investment securities at fair value amounted to $910.0 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $958.2 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $48.2 million, or 5%. The change resulted primarily from a decrease in the bond portfolio's fair value of $58.0 million during the period caused by significant increases in market interest rates.

Total loans amounted to $2.96 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $2.92 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $42.0 million, or 1%. Core loans (non-GAAP) increased $81.4 million, or 3%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Customer deposits amounted to $4.03 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $3.98 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $54.3 million, or 1%.

Shareholders' Equity & Regulatory Capital

Total shareholders' equity amounted to $310.5 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $346.9 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $36.4 million, or 10%. The change was attributable primarily to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") of $45.0 million since December 31, 2021, partially offset by an increase in retained earnings of $7.8 million over the same period. The change in AOCI resulted from a decrease in the fair value of investment securities attributed to the significant increase in market interest rates during the period. The Company classifies all of its debt securities as available-for-sale and anticipates they will mature or be called at full par value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company's reported book value per common share and return on average shareholders' equity ratios were impacted by the change in AOCI as follows:

Book value per common share was $25.66 at March 31, 2022, compared to $28.82 at December 31, 2021, a decrease of 11%. Excluding AOCI (non-GAAP), book value per common share was $28.99 at March 31, 2022 and $28.43 at December 31, 2021, an increase of 2%.
Return on average shareholders' equity was 12.56% for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. Excluding AOCI (non-GAAP), the return on average shareholders' equity was 11.78% and 12.69% for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Regulatory capital ratios, of which AOCI is not a component, remained largely unchanged at March 31, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021.

Wealth Management

Wealth assets under management and administration, which are not carried as assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, amounted to $961.5 million and $243.2 million, at March 31, 2022, respectively, representing decreases of $79.9 million, or 8%, and $14.6 million, or 6%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2021. The decreases in wealth assets under management and administration were attributable primarily to declines in market values during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Measures

Throughout this press release, certain measures have been adjusted to provide what management believes are more meaningful comparisons between periods. The items principally impacted and reported as non-GAAP were loans (PPP loans), liquidity (interest-earning deposits with banks), net interest margin, shareholders' equity (accumulated other comprehensive income), and any related measures presented. We refer to any measure that excludes PPP loans as "core" and any measure that excludes PPP loans and interest-earning deposits with banks as "adjusted". The activity which resulted in the Company's use of non-GAAP measures consisted of: (1) the Company originated over $715 million in short-term PPP loans between April 2020 and May 2021; (2) forgiveness of PPP loans by the SBA began in November 2020 and continued through the current period, with approximately 95% of the principal balance of PPP loans originated by the Company forgiven by the SBA; (3) liquidity, carried as lower-yielding interest-earning deposits with banks, has increased significantly following the trends in customer deposits and PPP loan forgiveness over the past two years; and (4) the significant increase in market interest rates during the first quarter of 2022 resulted in unrealized losses in the Company's available-for-sale debt securities portfolio of $52.1 million and a corresponding reduction in shareholder's equity of $40.3 million at March 31, 2022. The tables beginning on page 10 of this press release provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the information presented under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
