LOWELL, Mass., April 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:EBTC), parent of Enterprise Bank, announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net income amounted to $8.5 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $7.9 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and $10.8 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Selected financial results at or for the three months ended March 31, 2024, were as follows:

The returns on average assets and average equity were 0.75% and 10.47%, respectively.
Tax-equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) ("net interest margin") was 3.20%.
Total loans increased 2.4% compared to December 31, 2023.
Total deposits increased 3.2% compared to December 31, 2023.
Wealth assets under management and administration amounted to $1.37 billion and increased 4.0% compared to December 31, 2023.

Chief Executive Officer Jack Clancy commented, "The first quarter of 2024 had solid net income with strong loan and deposit growth. Higher deposit costs and the inverted yield curve continued to be a headwind resulting in a net interest margin of 3.20%. We remain well positioned with a strong balance sheet that is centered around a high-quality loan portfolio, a conservative credit and reserve culture and favorable liquidity, core deposit funding and capital." Executive Chairman & Founder George Duncan added, "Despite the higher interest rates, our markets remain economically healthy, and we continue to opportunistically add new loan, deposit and wealth management customers. I was particularly pleased with the 3% growth in total deposits."

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, amounted to $35.2 million, a decrease of $4.8 million, or 12%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in deposit interest expense of $11.3 million which was driven by an increase in the cost of funds and changes in deposit mix, partially offset by an increase in loan interest income of $9.3 million due to loan growth and higher market interest rates.

Net Interest Margin

Three months ended – March 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023

Net interest margin was 3.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 3.29% for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Net interest margin compared to the prior quarter was impacted by the following factors:

Average other interest-earning assets decreased $86.1 million, or 50%, while the yield increased 6 basis points.
Average loan balances increased $140.2 million, or 4%, and the tax-equivalent yield increased 10 basis points.
Average total deposits decreased $45.5 million, or 1%, while the yield increased 18 basis points.
Average borrowed funds increased $56.1 million and the yield was 4.38%, an increase of 214 basis points from previously low levels.

Three months ended – March 31, 2024, compared to March 31, 2023

Net interest margin was 3.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 3.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Net interest margin compared to the prior year quarter was impacted by the following factors:

Average other interest-earning assets decreased $112.7 million, or 57%, while the yield increased 97 basis points.
Average investment securities decreased $173.7 million, or 19%, and the tax-equivalent yield decreased 8 basis points.
Average loan balances increased $407.3 million, or 13%, and the tax-equivalent yield increased 44 basis points.
Average total deposits increased $27.3 million, or 1%, and the yield increased 111 basis points.
Average borrowed funds increased $60.4 million and the yield was 4.38%, an increase of 281 basis points from previously low levels.

The decrease in net interest margin over the respective periods was due primarily to increases in funding costs, partially offset by increases in loan yields and other interest earning asset yields as well as loan growth. Yields on loans and other interest earning assets were positively impacted by the increases of 525 basis points in the federal funds rate from March 2022 through July 2023. During the current quarter, funding costs were impacted primarily by higher market interest rates, increased competition for deposits and changes in deposit mix as depositors sought higher yielding money market and certificate of deposit products.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, amounted to $622 thousand, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The provision expense for the first quarter of 2024 resulted primarily from growth in the Company's loan portfolio and a $1.6 million increase in reserves on individually evaluated loans, due primarily to the addition of one commercial construction loan which was credit downgraded, partially offset by the impact of an improved economic forecast in our allowance for credit loss ("ACL") model and a decrease in off-balance sheet commitments.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, amounted to $5.5 million, an increase of $738 thousand, or 16%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in non-interest income was due primarily to increases in gains on equity securities of $481 thousand, wealth management fees of $263 thousand and income on bank-owned life insurance of $151 thousand.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, amounted to $28.9 million, an increase of $868 thousand, or 3%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in non-interest expense was due primarily to increases in salaries and benefits expense of $655 thousand and deposit insurance premiums of $184 thousand.

Balance Sheet

Total assets amounted to $4.62 billion at March 31, 2024, compared to $4.47 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $158.0 million, or 4%.

Total interest-earning deposits with banks, which consist of overnight and short-term investments, amounted to $106.4 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $19.1 million at December 31, 2023. The increase of $87.2 million was due primarily to increases in deposits and borrowed funds, partially offset by loan growth.

Total investment securities at fair value amounted to $652.0 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $668.2 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease of $16.1 million, or 2%, was largely attributable to principal pay-downs, calls and maturities during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Unrealized losses on debt securities amounted to $105.6 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $102.9 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $2.8 million, or 3%. At March 31, 2024, management determined that no ACL for available-for-sale securities was necessary.

Total loans amounted to $3.65 billion at March 31, 2024, compared to $3.57 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase of $86.7 million, or 2%, was due primarily to an increase in commercial real estate loans of $94.9 million.

Total deposits amounted to $4.11 billion at March 31, 2024, compared to $3.98 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase of $128.6 million, or 3%, was due primarily to increases in money market and certificate of deposit balances of $66.2 million and $61.1 million, respectively.

Total borrowed funds amounted to $63.2 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $25.8 million at December 31, 2023. The increase of $37.5 million, or 145%, was from an increase in advances used to support the Company's operations.

Total shareholders' equity amounted to $333.4 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $329.1 million at December 31, 2023. The increase of $4.3 million, or 1%, was due primarily to an increase in retained earnings of $5.6 million, partially offset by an increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss of $2.1 million.

Credit Quality

Selected credit quality metrics at or for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023, were as follows:

The ACL for loans amounted to $60.7 million, or 1.66% of total loans, compared to $59.0 million, or 1.65% of total loans.
The reserve for unfunded commitments (included in other liabilities) amounted to $5.9 million, compared to $7.1 million.
Non-performing loans amounted to $18.5 million, or 0.51% of total loans, compared to $11.4 million, or 0.32% of total loans. The increase in non-performing loans resulted primarily from one individually evaluated commercial construction loan which was credit downgraded and moved to non-accrual in the first quarter of 2024, as noted above.

Annualized net charge-offs to average total loans remained low and amounted to 0.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to annualized net recoveries to average total loans of 0.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Wealth Management

Wealth assets are not carried as assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Wealth assets under management amounted to $1.11 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $27.3 million, or 3%, compared to December 31, 2023.

Wealth assets under administration amounted to $268.1 million at March 31, 2024, an increase of $25.7 million, or 11%, compared to December 31, 2023, resulting primarily from an increase in market values as well as net asset growth.
