    Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 28 Apr 2022 06:45:04   America/New_York

    RALEIGH, N.C., April 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (“BancShares”) (Nasdaq: FCNCA) reported earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

    Chairman and CEO, Frank B. Holding, Jr. on first quarter results, “We are pleased to announce solid first quarter results. We continue to remain focused on ensuring a timely and successful integration with CIT Group Inc. (“CIT”) and made good progress during the quarter. We benefited from another quarter of deposit and loan growth. Net interest income grew and net interest margin expanded compared to the linked quarter, overcoming a reduction in SBA-PPP loans.

    “We were additionally pleased with the positive momentum in our card, merchant, wealth and rail lines of business. Expenses were well controlled during the quarter, and we’re committed to achieving our target cost savings from the CIT merger. Credit quality remained strong and net charge-offs remained low. We closed the quarter with strong capital and liquidity levels and believe our current levels support resuming share repurchases in the second half of this year.” 

    MERGER WITH CIT GROUP, INC.

    As previously disclosed, BancShares closed its merger with CIT on January 3, 2022. Total assets acquired were $53.8 billion, which consisted of approximately $32.8 billion of loans, $7.8 billion of operating lease equipment and $6.6 billion of investment securities. Deposits acquired were $39.4 billion. The transaction also included approximately 80 bank branches, about 60 of which were in Southern California and the remaining primarily in the Southwest, Midwest and Southeast. BancShares additionally recorded a preliminary gain on acquisition of $431 million in the first quarter of 2022, representing the excess of the net assets acquired over the purchase price.

    FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
      
    Merger with
    CIT Group Inc.     		BancShares completed its previously announced merger with CIT in the first quarter, creating immediate accretion to tangible book value per share of over 40%. The ongoing financial benefits from the combination are already being realized, and BancShares remains confident in its ability to execute on its previously communicated $250 million in total cost savings by the end of 2023.

    The merger with CIT resulted in a preliminary gain of $431 million which partially offset the $387 million expense (net of $126 million in tax) to establish the initial allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on non-purchase credit deteriorated (“non-PCD”) loans and establish the reserve for off balance sheet credit exposures, as well as the $102 million merger-related expenses (net of $33 million in tax) primarily for severance and retention payments, auditing and consulting fees.
      
    Net income to
    common shareholders    		Net income to common shareholders was $264 million or $16.70 per common share for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $142 million or $14.53 per common share for the same quarter in 2021. Results for the first quarter of 2022 were impacted materially by the CIT merger given the magnitude of the acquired balance sheet, the impacts of purchase accounting and the increases in net income from CIT’s operations. First quarter results included a net $181 million in pre-tax notable items. Excluding notable items, adjusted first quarter net income available to common shareholders was $299 million or $18.95 per share.
      
    Return on average
    assets and equity    		Return on average assets for the first quarter of 2022 was 1.00%, down from 1.16% for the comparable quarter in 2021. When adjusted for notable items, return on average assets totaled 1.12% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 1.07% for the comparable quarter in 2021. Return on average equity for the first quarter of 2022 was 11.18%, down from 14.70% for the comparable quarter in 2021. When adjusted for notable items, return on average equity totaled 12.67% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 13.51% for the same quarter in 2021.
      
    Net interest income
    and net interest margin     		Net interest income was $649 million for the first quarter of 2022. The net interest margin (“NIM”) was 2.73% for the first quarter of 2022, down 6 basis points from 2.79% for the comparable quarter in 2021 and up 16 basis points from 2.57% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net interest margin benefited from growth in average loans and investments, as well as the redemption of approximately $3 billion in legacy CIT debt which occurred in late February.
      
    Allowance for credit losses
    and credit quality    		The ACL was $848 million or 1.29% of total loans at March 31, 2022, compared to $178 million or 0.55% of total loans at December 31, 2021. With the acquisition of CIT, BancShares established an ACL related to the CIT loan portfolio of $738 which was $26 million over CIT’s ACL at December 31, 2021. The improvement of certain macroeconomic factors supporting the ACL estimate process during the quarter resulted in a release of $68 million. Credit quality remains strong and net charge-offs remain at historical lows. The net charge-off ratio was 0.09% for the first quarter of 2022 and nonaccrual loans to total loans was 0.82%.
      
    Balance sheet growthTotal loans were $65.5 billion, an increase of $33.2 billion since December 31, 2021. Excluding the fair value of loans acquired from CIT and a decline from SBA-PPP loans, total loans grew $455 million or 2.8% on an annualized basis. Total deposits grew to $91.6 billion, an increase of $40.2 billion since December 31, 2021. Excluding net deposits acquired from CIT, deposits increased $833 million or by 3.7% on an annualized basis.
      
    Capital BancShares remained well-capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.46%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.39%, a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.34% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.43%.

    NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN (NIM)

    Net interest income was $649 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $310 million compared to the first quarter of 2021 and $292 million compared to the linked quarter. The increases in both periods were primarily due to impacts from the merger with CIT.

    Interest income on loans was $621 million, and the portfolio yield was 3.88%. This compares to $323 million or 3.92% for the first quarter of 2021 and $328 million or 3.97% in the linked quarter. Interest income on investment securities totaled $83 million and the portfolio yield was 1.77%. This compares to $31 million or 1.27% for the first quarter of 2021 and $40 million or 1.39% in the linked quarter.

    Interest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $61 million, an increase of $45 million compared to the first quarter of 2021 and $46 million compared to the linked quarter. The rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 0.24% compared to 0.14% in the prior year period and 0.11% in the linked quarter. The rate paid on borrowings was 1.95% compared to 2.12% in both prior periods.

    NIM was 2.73% for the first quarter of 2022, down 6 basis points from 2.79% for the comparable quarter in 2021 and up 16 basis points from 2.57% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net interest margin benefited from a better macroeconomic rate environment, growth in average loans and investments, and the redemption of approximately $3 billion in legacy CIT debt, which occurred in late February.

    NONINTEREST INCOME

    Noninterest income was $850 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $137 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $713 million driven primarily from the acquisition of CIT. The current period included a preliminary gain on acquisition of $431 million, which has been identified as notable. The CIT acquisition additionally contributed $208 million in gross rental income on operating leases, $27 million in factoring commissions, $23 million in fee income and other revenue, and $6 million in gain on the sale of leasing equipment. Lines of business such as wealth, card, and merchant services were positive for the quarter while mortgage income declined with the rising interest rates and decline in volumes.

    NONINTEREST EXPENSE

    Noninterest expense was $810 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $296 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $514 million driven primarily from the acquisition of CIT. During the quarter, we recorded $135 million in merger-related expenses, which have been identified as notable. Salaries and benefits were $352 million, an increase primarily related to the CIT merger. Depreciation and maintenance on operating leases were $81 million and $43 million, respectively. Occupancy expense, net and equipment expense were up $19 million and $22 million respectively, related to the merger with CIT. A benefit of $27 million was recognized with the termination of legacy retiree benefit plans.

    INCOME TAXES

    Income tax for the quarter was a benefit of $46 million compared to a provision expense of $44 million for the first quarter of 2021, representing effective tax rates of (20.4%) and 23.6% for the respective periods. The first quarter of 2022 included a non-taxable bargain purchase gain of $431 million and other discrete items.

    LOANS AND DEPOSITS

    At March 31, 2022, loans totaled $65.5 billion, an increase of $33.2 billion since December 31, 2021. Loans and leases acquired from the CIT merger totaled $32.8 billion, which are net of initial purchase accounting marks. Excluding total net loans acquired from CIT and a decline of $299 million in SBA-PPP loans, total loans grew $455 million or 2.8% on an annualized basis.

    At March 31, 2022, deposits totaled $91.6 billion, an increase of $40.2 billion since December 31, 2021. Deposits acquired from the CIT merger totaled $39.4 billion, net of initial purchase accounting marks. Excluding net deposits acquired from CIT, deposits increased $833 million or by 3.7% on an annualized basis.

    CREDIT QUALITY

    Total nonaccrual loans were $538 million or 0.82% of total loans at March 31, 2022, compared to $121 million or 0.37% of total loans at December 31, 2021. The increase in total nonaccrual loans was primarily the result of the CIT merger.

    ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (ACL) AND PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

    The ACL was $848 million or 1.29% of total loans at March 31, 2022, compared to $178 million or 0.55% of total loans at December 31, 2021. The increase in the ACL as compared to December 31, 2021, was primarily driven by the loans added in the CIT Merger. Note that no ACL was carried over from CIT; therefore, the quarter included an ACL build for the loans added. We recorded an estimated reserve for purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans of $284 million and an estimated reserve for non-PCD loans of $454 million.

    Provision expense totaled $464 million for the quarter compared to a net benefit of $11 million in the first quarter of 2021. While net charge-offs were up compared to the prior year quarter, the 9 bps on an annualized basis remains below historical averages. Excluding the day 2 provision for non-PCD loans and the reserve for unfunded commitments of $513 million, we reported a net provision benefit of $49 million due to a net $68 million reserve release as we continue to see improvement in certain macroeconomic factors, specifically real estate values that positively impact the ACL estimate. Additionally, we saw improvement in the specific reserves on certain large, impaired loans which also contributed to the release.
