Valley National Bancorp (
NASDAQ:VLY), the holding
company for Valley National Bank, today reported net income for the
first quarter 2024 of $96.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted common
share, as compared to the fourth quarter 2023 net income of $71.6
million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, and net income of
$146.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the first
quarter 2023. Excluding all non-core income and charges, our
adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $99.4 million, or
$0.19 per diluted common share, for the first quarter 2024, $116.3
million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter
2023, and $154.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, for
the first quarter 2023. See further details below, including a
reconciliation of our non-GAAP adjusted net income, in the
"Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables.
Key financial highlights for
the first quarter
2024:
-
Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income increased
$8.7 million to $61.4 million for the first quarter 2024 as
compared to the fourth quarter 2023 mainly driven by increases in
wealth management and trust fees, including revenue associated with
our tax credit advisory subsidiary, and service charges on deposit
accounts totaling $6.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and
a $3.6 million net gain on the sale of our commercial premium
finance lending business in February 2024. These increases were
partially offset by lower insurance commissions income and swap
fees related to commercial loan transactions included in capital
market fees.
-
Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense
decreased $60.1 million to $280.3 million for the first quarter
2024 as compared to the fourth quarter 2023 largely due to
decreases in the FDIC special assessment, merger related contract
termination expenses, and consulting expenses related to our
implementation of a new single core banking system in the fourth
quarter of 2023. Other expense also declined $7.6 million from the
fourth quarter 2023 due to reductions in several general expense
categories. These decreases were partially offset by higher salary
and employee benefits expense mostly due to normal seasonal
increases in payroll taxes and other items during the first quarter
2024. We recorded estimated expenses related to the FDIC special
assessment of $7.4 million and $50.3 million during the first
quarter 2024 and fourth quarter 2023, respectively. See the
non-GAAP reconciliations in the "Consolidated Financial Highlights"
tables below for additional information regarding our non-core
charges, including the FDIC special assessment and merger related
expenses.
-
Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses for
Loans: The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled
$487.3 million and $465.6 million at March 31, 2024 and
December 31, 2023, respectively, representing 0.98 percent and
0.93 percent of total loans at each respective date. During the
first quarter 2024, we recorded a provision for credit losses for
loans of $45.3 million as compared to $20.7 million and $9.5
million for the fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2023,
respectively. The increase in the first quarter 2024 provision was
mostly due to higher quantitative reserves allocated to commercial
real estate loans at March 31, 2024.
- Credit
Quality: Total accruing past due loans decreased $17.2
million to $74.4 million, or 0.15 percent of total loans, at
March 31, 2024 as compared to $91.6 million, or 0.18 percent
of total loans, at December 31, 2023. Non-accrual loans
represented 0.58 percent of total loans at both March 31, 2024
and December 31, 2023. Net loan charge-offs totaled $23.6
million for the first quarter 2024 as compared to $17.5 million and
$30.4 million for the fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2023,
respectively. The loan charge-offs in the first quarter 2024
included partial charge-offs totaling $9.5 million related to one
non-performing taxi medallion loan relationship within the
commercial and industrial loans and $7.6 million of partial
charge-offs related to two construction loan relationships. See the
"Credit Quality" section below for more details.
- Loan
Portfolio: Total loans decreased $288.3 million, or 2.3
percent on an annualized basis, to $49.9 billion at March 31,
2024 from December 31, 2023 largely due to the sale of $196.5
million of commercial real estate and construction loans through
loan participation agreements at par value in March 2024, and the
sale of $93.6 million of commercial and industrial loans associated
with the sale of our premium finance lending division in February
2024. During the first quarter 2024, we also transferred $34.1
million of construction loans to loans held for sale at March 31,
2024. Organic loan volumes in most categories remained at modest
levels during the first quarter 2024 due to the ongoing impact of
elevated market interest rates and other factors. See the "Loans"
section below for more details.
-
Deposits: Total deposits decreased $164.9 million
to $49.1 billion at March 31, 2024 as compared to $49.2
billion at December 31, 2023. During the first quarter 2024,
the contractual run-off of higher cost time deposits combined with
a $266.2 million decrease in non-interest bearing deposits was
largely offset by solid growth in direct interest bearing deposits
across several delivery channels. See the "Deposits" section below
for more details.
- Net
Interest Income and Margin: Net interest income on a tax
equivalent basis of $394.8 million for the first quarter 2024
decreased $3.7 million compared to the fourth quarter 2023 and
decreased $42.6 million as compared to the first quarter 2023. Our
net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased by 3 basis
points to 2.79 percent in the first quarter 2024 as compared to
2.82 percent for the fourth quarter 2023. The moderate decline in
both net interest income and margin as compared to the linked
quarter reflects the ongoing repricing of our interest bearing
deposits, net of a 6 basis point increase in the yield of average
interest earning assets for the first quarter 2024. See the "Net
Interest Income and Margin" section below for more details.
- Income
Tax Expense: Our effective tax rate was
25.6 percent for the first quarter 2024 as compared to 19.6 percent
for the fourth quarter 2023. The increase was mainly attributable
to larger tax credits recorded during the fourth quarter 2023
resulting in a lower effective tax rate.
-
Efficiency Ratio: Our efficiency ratio was 59.10
percent for the first quarter 2024 as compared to 60.70 percent and
53.79 percent for the fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2023,
respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables
below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP
measures.
- Performance
Ratios: Annualized return on average assets (ROA),
shareholders’ equity (ROE) and tangible ROE were 0.63 percent, 5.73
percent and 8.19 percent for the first quarter 2024, respectively.
Annualized ROA, ROE, and tangible ROE, adjusted for non-core income
and charges, were 0.65 percent, 5.91 percent and 8.46 percent for
the first quarter 2024, respectively. See the "Consolidated
Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information
regarding our non-GAAP measures.
Ira Robbins, CEO commented, "I am extremely
pleased with the first quarter's strong financial results. Asset
quality results remain extremely stable, and our provision for
credit losses reflects the rigorous stress testing efforts that we
continue to undertake. We have proactively slowed loan growth and
undertaken modest balance sheet efforts to enhance our financial
flexibility."
Mr. Robbins continued, "Our pre-provision
earnings reflect the diversity of our revenue base. We have
responded to headwinds associated with the inverted yield curve by
more proactively managing our expense base which supported the
stronger results for the quarter. The environment remains
challenging, but I am confident that our balance sheet and
operational efforts are appropriate and will continue to contribute
to our future success."
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis
totaling $394.8 million for the first quarter 2024 decreased $3.7
million and $42.6 million as compared to the fourth quarter 2023
and first quarter 2023, respectively. The slight decrease as
compared to the fourth quarter 2023 was mainly due to an increase
in average short-term borrowings and the higher level of interest
rates across most interest bearing deposit products, partially
offset by higher loan yields, a decline in average time deposit
balances and one less day during the first quarter 2024. As a
result of the higher cost of short-term borrowings and deposits,
total interest expense increased $14.2 million to $435.1 million
for the first quarter 2024 as compared to the fourth quarter 2023.
Interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $10.5 million
to $830.0 million for the first quarter 2024 as compared to the
fourth quarter 2023. The increase was mostly due to higher yields
on both new originations and adjustable rate loans in our loan
portfolio, as well as higher yields on investments, partially
offset by a decline in average interest bearing deposits with banks
as we reduced overnight excess cash liquidity in the first quarter
2024.
Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of
2.79 percent for the first quarter 2024 decreased by 3 basis points
and 37 basis points from 2.82 percent and 3.16 percent,
respectively, for the fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2023.
The decrease as compared to the fourth quarter 2023 was largely
driven by the higher cost of interest bearing deposits and
short-term borrowings, partially offset by an increase in the yield
on average interest earning assets. Our cost of total average
deposits was 3.16 percent for the first quarter 2024 as compared to
3.13 percent and 1.96 percent for the fourth quarter 2023 and the
first quarter 2023, respectively. The overall cost of average
interest bearing liabilities increased 6 basis points to 4.19
percent for the first quarter 2024 as compared to the fourth
quarter 2023 primarily driven by the higher level of market
interest rates on deposits and short-term borrowings. The yield on
average interest earning assets also increased by 6 basis points to
5.86 percent on a linked quarter basis largely due to the increased
yield of the loan portfolio. The yield on average loans increased
by 4 basis points to 6.14 percent for the first quarter 2024 as
compared to the fourth quarter 2023 mostly due to the higher level
of market interest rates on new originations and adjustable rate
loans.
Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings
Loans. Total loans decreased
$288.3 million to $49.9 billion at March 31, 2024 from
December 31, 2023. Total commercial real estate (including
construction) decreased $264.6 million, or 3.3 percent on an
annualized basis during the first quarter 2024. This decline was
primarily driven by the sale of $151.0 million and $45.6 million of
commercial real estate and construction loans, respectively,
through loan participation agreements with Bank Leumi Le-Israel
B.M. (BLITA) in March 2024. During the first quarter 2024, we also
transferred $34.1 million of construction loans from loans held for
investment to loans held for sale as of March 31, 2024 and
subsequently sold the loans at par value to BLITA in April 2024.
Commercial and industrial loans declined $126.4 million during
the first quarter 2024 mostly due to the sale of $93.6 million of
loans associated with our premium finance lending division and the
contractual run-off of premium finance loans that were retained and
not sold. Our retained commercial premium finance portfolio totaled
$145.7 million at March 31, 2024 and is expected to mostly run-off
at their scheduled maturity dates over the next 12 months. Our
residential mortgage portfolio increased $49.3 million during
the first quarter 2024 as we continue to retain a large portion of
new originations for investment. We sold $40.2 million and
$49.9 million of residential mortgage loans held for sale
during the first quarter 2024 and fourth quarter 2023,
respectively. Automobile loan balances increased by $80.1 million,
or 19.8 percent on an annualized basis during the first quarter
2024 mainly due to a slight uptick in application volume and slower
repayments as compared to the fourth quarter 2024.
Deposits. Total deposits
decreased $164.9 million to $49.1 billion at March 31, 2024
from December 31, 2023 mainly due to decreases of $433.0
million and $266.2 million in time deposits and non-interest
bearing deposits, respectively, largely offset by an increase of
$534.3 million in savings, NOW and money market deposits. The
decrease in time deposits was primarily due to intentional run-off
of higher cost government banking time deposits which had matured.
Non-interest bearing balances declined during the first quarter
2024, though remained unchanged as a percentage of total deposits,
as some customers continue to closely manage balances and shift
funds into other higher-yielding alternatives. The solid growth in
savings, NOW and money market deposits was mostly attributable to
inflows from our specialty niche deposits, traditional branch and
online delivery channels. Non-interest bearing deposits; savings,
NOW and money market deposits; and time deposits represented
approximately 23 percent, 51 percent and 26 percent of total
deposits as of March 31, 2024, respectively, as compared to 23
percent, 50 percent and 27 percent of total deposits as of
December 31, 2023, respectively.
Other
Borrowings. Short-term borrowings
decreased $842.6 million to $75.2 million at March 31, 2024 as
compared to December 31, 2023 mainly due to maturities and
repayment of FHLB advances. Long-term borrowings increased $934.0
million to $3.3 billion at March 31, 2024 as compared to $2.3
billion at December 31, 2023. The increase was due to $1.0
billion of new FHLB advances issued during early March 2024 as
management elected to shift its maturing higher cost short-term
FHLB funding to lower cost long-term borrowings. The $1.0 billion
in new FHLB borrowings has a weighted average rate of 4.52 percent
and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 3.6 years at
March 31, 2024.
Credit Quality
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs).
Total NPAs, consisting of non-accrual loans, other real estate
owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets, decreased $4.6 million
to $288.8 million at March 31, 2024 as compared to
December 31, 2023 mainly due to lower non-accrual construction
loan balances. Non-accrual construction loans decreased $9.0
million to $51.8 million at March 31, 2024 as compared to
December 31, 2023 largely due to partial loan charge-offs
related to two loan relationships during the first quarter 2024.
Non-accrual commercial and industrial loans increased $2.5 million
to $102.4 million at March 31, 2024 as compared to
December 31, 2023 mainly due to one new non-performing loan
relationship totaling $13.3 million, which was largely offset by
$9.5 million of partial charge-offs of taxi cab medallion loans
during the first quarter 2024. Non-accrual loans represented 0.58
percent of total loans at both March 31, 2024 and
December 31, 2023.
Accruing Past Due Loans. Total
accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and
still accruing interest) decreased $17.2 million to $74.4 million,
or 0.15 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2024 as compared
to $91.6 million, or 0.18 percent of total loans at
December 31, 2023. Loans 30 to 59 days past due decreased
$12.4 million to $46.8 million at March 31, 2024 as compared
to December 31, 2023 largely due to lower residential
mortgage, consumer and commercial and industrial loan
delinquencies. Loans 60 to 89 days past due decreased $5.1 million
to $14.2 million at March 31, 2024 as compared to
December 31, 2023 also largely due to lower delinquencies
across most of the loan categories. Loans 90 days or more past due
and still accruing interest totaled $13.4 million at March 31,
2024 and remained relatively unchanged as compared to
December 31, 2023. All loans 90 days or more past due and
still accruing interest are well-secured and in the process of
collection.

and Unfunded Commitments. The following table summarizes

Our loan portfolio, totaling $49.9 billion at
March 31, 2024, had net loan charge-offs totaling $23.6
million for the first quarter 2024 as compared to $17.5 million and
$30.4 million for the fourth quarter 2023 and the first quarter
2023, respectively. The increase in net loan charge-offs for the
first quarter 2024 as compared to the fourth quarter 2023 was
mainly due to higher commercial and industrial loan and
construction loan charge-offs. The loan charge-offs in the first
quarter 2024 included partial charge-offs totaling $9.5 million
related to one non-performing taxi medallion loan relationship
within the commercial and industrial loans and $7.6 million of
partial charge-offs related to two construction loan
relationships.
The allowance for credit losses for loans,
comprised of our allowance for loan losses and unfunded credit
commitments, as a percentage of total loans was 0.98 percent at
March 31, 2024, 0.93 percent at December 31, 2023, and
0.95 percent at March 31, 2023. For the first quarter 2024,
the provision for credit losses for loans totaled $45.3 million as
compared to $20.7 million and $9.5 million for the fourth quarter
2023 and first quarter 2023, respectively. The increased provision
for credit losses for the first quarter 2024 was mainly driven by
higher quantitative reserves related to the commercial real estate,
commercial and industrial, and construction loan portfolios. This
increase was partially offset by lower qualitative and economic
forecast reserves at March 31, 2024.
Capital Adequacy
Valley's total risk-based capital, common equity
Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios
were 11.88 percent, 9.34 percent, 9.78 percent and 8.20 percent,
respectively, at March 31, 2024.

change in our allowance for credit losses under CECL due to
forecasted economic conditions and/or unexpected credit
deterioration in our loan and investment portfolios;
- the need to
supplement debt or equity capital to maintain or exceed internal
capital thresholds;
- greater than
expected technology related costs due to, among other factors,
prolonged or failed implementations, additional project staffing
and obsolescence caused by continuous and rapid market
innovations;
- cyberattacks,
ransomware attacks, computer viruses, malware or other
cybersecurity incidents that may breach the security of our
websites or other systems or networks to obtain unauthorized access
to personal, confidential, proprietary or sensitive information,
destroy data, disable or degrade service, or sabotage our systems
or networks;
- results of
examinations by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC), the Federal Reserve Bank, the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB) and other regulatory authorities, including the
possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other
things, require us to increase our allowance for credit losses,
write-down assets, reimburse customers, change the way we do
business, or limit or eliminate certain other banking
activities;
- our inability or
determination not to pay dividends at current levels, or at all,
because of inadequate earnings, regulatory restrictions or
limitations, changes in our capital requirements or a decision to
increase capital by retaining more earnings;
- unanticipated
loan delinquencies, loss of collateral, decreased service revenues,
and other potential negative effects on our business caused by
severe weather, pandemics or other public health crises, acts of
terrorism or other external events; and
- unexpected
significant declines in the loan portfolio due to the lack of
economic expansion, increased competition, large prepayments,
changes in regulatory lending guidance or other factors.
A detailed discussion of factors that could
affect our results is included in our SEC filings, including Item
1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2023.
We undertake no duty to update any
forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual
results or changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance or

NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
(1) |
|
Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a tax
equivalent basis using a 21 percent federal tax rate. Valley
believes that this presentation provides comparability of net
interest income and net interest margin arising from both taxable
and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and
SEC rules. |
(2) |
|
Non-GAAP Reconciliations. This press release
contains certain supplemental financial information, described in
the Notes below, which has been determined by methods other than
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that
management uses in its analysis of Valley's performance. The
Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful supplemental information to both management and investors in
understanding Valley’s underlying operational performance, business
and performance trends, and may facilitate comparisons of our
current and prior performance with the performance of others in the
financial services industry. Management utilizes these measures for
internal planning, forecasting and analysis purposes. Management
believes that Valley’s presentation and discussion of this
supplemental information, together with the accompanying
reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, also allows
investors to view performance in a manner similar to management.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial measures
calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial
measures may also be calculated differently from similar measures
disclosed by other companies. |
