    TYLER, Texas, July 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Southside Bancshares, Inc. (“Southside” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SBSI) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Southside reported net income of $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.9%, compared to $24.9 million for the same period in 2023. Earnings per diluted common share remained the same at $0.81 for both of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The annualized return on average shareholders’ equity for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was 12.46%, compared to 13.32% for the same period in 2023.  The annualized return on average assets was 1.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 1.29% for the same period in 2023.

    “We reported excellent financial results for the second quarter highlighted by earnings per share of $0.81, a return on assets of 1.19%, a 16.90% return on average tangible equity(1), and continued strong asset quality,” stated Lee R. Gibson, Chief Executive Officer of Southside. “Linked quarter net interest income increased $260,000 and the net interest margin(1) increased one basis point to 2.87%. Noninterest expense, linked quarter decreased $1.1 million due to a $1.1 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits, $618,000 of which was due to a first quarter cost reduction initiative.”

    Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

    Net income was $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $24.9 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.9%. Earnings per diluted common share were $0.81 for both of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The decrease in net income was a result of increases in noninterest expense and income tax expense and the decrease in net interest income, partially offset by the increase in noninterest income and the decrease in provision for credit losses. Annualized returns on average assets and average shareholders’ equity for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were 1.19% and 12.46%, respectively, compared to 1.29% and 13.32%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023.  Our efficiency ratio and tax-equivalent efficiency ratio(1) were 54.90% and 52.71%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 53.54% and 51.06%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 57.95% and 55.54%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

    Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $53.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 0.6%, from the same period in 2023. The decrease in net interest income was largely due to increases in the average rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities and average balance of our interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by the increase in the average balance of interest earning assets and the increase in the average yield of interest earning assets. Linked quarter, net interest income increased $0.3 million, or 0.5%, compared to $53.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, largely due to the increase in the average yield on our interest earning assets and the decrease in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by the average rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities.

    Our net interest margin and tax-equivalent net interest margin(1) decreased to 2.74% and 2.87%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 2.99% and 3.17%, respectively, for the same period in 2023. Linked quarter, net interest margin and tax-equivalent net interest margin(1) increased from 2.72% and 2.86%, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

    Noninterest income was $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.1 million, or 10.4%, compared to $10.5 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in net loss on sale of securities available for sale (“AFS”) and an increase in bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income due to a death benefit realized in 2024, partially offset by a $2.6 million net gain on sale of equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2023. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income increased $1.8 million, or 18.9%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in BOLI income related to a $1.0 million death benefit realized in the second quarter of 2024, and increases in gain on sale of loans and other noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in net loss on sale of securities AFS for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

    Noninterest expense increased $0.8 million, or 2.2%, to $35.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $35.0 million for the same period in 2023, due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and software and data processing expense, partially offset by decreases in FDIC insurance, amortization of intangibles and professional fees. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense decreased by $1.1 million, or 3.0%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense.

    Income tax expense increased $0.6 million, or 14.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. On a linked quarter basis, income tax expense increased $0.6 million, or 12.8%. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) increased to 17.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 15.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and decreased slightly from 17.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The higher ETR for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to a decrease in tax-exempt income as a percentage of pre-tax income.

    Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

    Net income was $46.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $50.9 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $4.7 million, or 9.3%. Earnings per diluted common share were $1.52 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.64 for the same period in 2023, a decrease of 7.3%. The decrease in net income was primarily a result of the increase in noninterest expense, the decrease in noninterest income and the increase in income tax expense. Returns on average assets and average shareholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were 1.11% and 11.74%, respectively, compared to 1.34% and 13.62%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.  Our efficiency ratio and tax-equivalent efficiency ratio(1) were 56.41% and 54.11%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 53.55% and 51.02%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

    Net interest income was $107.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $107.3 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 0.3%, due to increases in the average rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities and average balance of our interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by the increase in the average balance of interest earning assets and the increase in the average yield of interest earning assets.

    Our net interest margin and tax-equivalent net interest margin(1) were 2.73% and 2.87%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 3.01% and 3.19%, respectively, for the same period in 2023.

    Noninterest income was $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 5.4%, compared to $22.5 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in the net gain on sale of equity securities, deposit services income and other noninterest income, partially offset by a decrease in net loss on sale of securities AFS.

    Noninterest expense was $72.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $69.8 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $2.8 million, or 4.0%. The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and software and data processing expense, partially offset by decreases in professional fees and net occupancy expense.

    Income tax expense increased $0.7 million, or 7.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Our ETR was approximately 17.6% and 15.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The higher ETR for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to a decrease in tax-exempt income as a percentage of pre-tax income.

Linked quarter, loans increased $12.0 million, or 0.3%, due to increases of $59.4 million in commercial real estate loans, $17.5 million in 1-4 family residential loans and $1.8 million in commercial loans.

Linked quarter, nonperforming assets decreased $1.1 million, from $8.0 million at March 31, 2024 due primarily to a decrease of $1.6 million, or 20.7%, in nonaccrual loans, partially offset by an increase in other real estate owned of $0.5 million, or 444.5%.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of our performance. These include the following fully taxable-equivalent measures (“FTE”): (i) Net interest income (FTE), (ii) net interest margin (FTE), (iii) net interest spread (FTE), and (iv) efficiency ratio (FTE), which include the effects of taxable-equivalent adjustments using a federal income tax rate of 21% to increase tax-exempt interest income to a tax-equivalent basis. Interest income earned on certain assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments.

    Net interest income (FTE), net interest margin (FTE) and net interest spread (FTE). Net interest income (FTE) is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments and is not permitted under GAAP in the consolidated statements of income. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and that it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest income. Net interest margin (FTE) is the ratio of net interest income (FTE) to average earning assets. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest margin. Net interest spread (FTE) is the difference in the average yield on average earning assets on a tax-equivalent basis and the average rate paid on average interest bearing liabilities. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest spread.

    Efficiency ratio (FTE).  The efficiency ratio (FTE) is a non-GAAP measure that provides a measure of productivity in the banking industry. This ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. The ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing noninterest expense, excluding amortization expense on intangibles and certain nonrecurring expense by the sum of net interest income (FTE) and noninterest income, excluding net gain (loss) on sale of securities available for sale and certain nonrecurring impairments. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our efficiency ratio.

    These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP-basis financial statements and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently. Whenever we present a non-GAAP financial measure in an SEC filing, we are also required to present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and reconcile the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure and such comparable GAAP measure.

    Management believes adjusting net interest income, net interest margin and net interest spread to a fully taxable-equivalent basis is a standard practice in the banking industry as these measures provide useful information to make peer comparisons. Tax-equivalent adjustments are reflected in the respective earning asset categories as listed in the “Average Balances with Average Yields and Rates” tables.

    A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.

The most significant factor that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the ongoing impact of higher inflation levels, prolonged elevated interest rates and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations, our ability to manage liquidity in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, labor shortages and changes in interest rates by the Federal Reserve.
