HELENA, Mont., July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBMT), (the “Company,” “Eagle”), the holding company of Opportunity Bank of Montana (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $1.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter, and $2.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023. In the first six months of 2024, net income was $3.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2023.
Eagle’s board of directors increased its quarterly cash dividend to $0.1425 per share on July 22, 2024. The dividend will be payable September 6, 2024, to shareholders of record August 16, 2024. The current dividend represents an annualized yield of 4.27% based on recent market prices.
“We produced solid second quarter results, fueled by disciplined loan growth, pristine credit quality metrics and net interest margin expansion, compared to the previous quarter,” said Laura F. Clark, President and CEO. “We continue to attract high quality loans, achieving loan growth of 6.8% year-over-year, even in the current rate environment. Additionally, the increase in loan yields more than offset the increase in funding costs, contributing to net interest margin expansion for the second consecutive quarter. We are one of three publicly traded financial institutions based in Montana, and with our strong deposit franchise and healthy capital levels we are well positioned to continue to grow in our markets.”

Balance Sheet Results

Eagle originated $60.6 million in new residential mortgages during the quarter and sold $53.2 million in residential mortgages, with an average gross margin on sale of mortgage loans of approximately 3.01%. This production compares to residential mortgage originations of $50.4 million in the preceding quarter with sales of $43.6 million and an average gross margin on sale of mortgage loans of approximately 3.25%. Mortgage volumes remain low as rates have continued to be elevated relative to rates on existing mortgages.

“Our deposit mix continues to shift towards higher yielding deposits due to the higher interest rate environment. However, the increase in our overall cost of deposits has slowed, and we anticipate deposit rates will continue to stabilize over the next several quarters,” said Miranda Spaulding, CFO.
Total deposits increased 2.6% to $1.62 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $1.58 billion at June 30, 2023, and decreased 1.0% compared to $1.64 billion at March 31, 2024.

The average cost of total deposits was 1.70% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 1.62% in the preceding quarter and 1.05% in the second quarter of 2023. The estimated amount of uninsured deposits at both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, was approximately $284.0 million, or 17% of total deposits.
Shareholders’ equity was $170.2 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $162.7 million a year earlier and $168.9 million three months earlier. Book value per share was $21.23 at June 30, 2024, compared to $20.37 a year earlier and $21.07 three months earlier. Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangible, by common shares outstanding, was $16.25 at June 30, 2024, compared to $15.19 a year earlier and $16.05 three months earlier.
Operating Results
“Our NIM expanded eight basis points during the second quarter compared to the preceding quarter, boosted by growth and higher yields on interest earning assets in addition to a slowdown in cost of funds expansion,” said Clark. “We anticipate continued improvement in our cost of funds as we continue through this rate cycle.”
Eagle’s NIM was 3.41% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 3.33% in the preceding quarter, and a six basis-point contraction compared to 3.47% in the second quarter a year ago. The interest accretion on acquired loans totaled $304,000 and resulted in a seven basis-point increase in the NIM during the second quarter of 2024, compared to $118,000 and a three basis-point increase in the NIM during the preceding quarter. Funding costs for the second quarter of 2024 were 2.78%, compared to 2.67% in the first quarter of 2024 and 2.06% in the second quarter of 2023. Average yields on interest earning assets for the second quarter of 2024 increased to 5.64%, compared to 5.47% in the first quarter of 2024 and 5.06% in the second quarter a year ago. For the first six months of 2024, the NIM was 3.37% compared to 3.66% for the first six months of 2023.
Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, increased 2.7% to $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $15.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, and increased 2.4% compared to $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. Year-to-date, net interest income decreased 2.7% to $30.8 million, compared to $31.7 million in the same period one year earlier.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 increased 3.8% to $19.9 million, compared to $19.2 million in the preceding quarter and decreased 7.3% compared to $21.5 million in the second quarter a year ago. In the first six months of 2024, revenues were $39.1 million, compared to $42.6 million in the first six months of 2023. The decrease compared to the first six months a year ago was largely due to lower volumes in mortgage banking activity.
Total noninterest income increased 8.0% to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $4.0 million in the preceding quarter, and decreased 31.2% compared to $6.2 million in the second quarter a year ago. Net mortgage banking income, the largest component of noninterest income, totaled $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $2.2 million in the preceding quarter and $3.9 million in the second quarter a year ago. This decrease compared to the second quarter a year ago was largely driven by a decline in net gain on sale of mortgage loans. This was impacted by mortgage margin compression and lower loan volumes. In the first six months of 2024, noninterest income decreased 24.4% to $8.2 million, compared to $10.9 million in the first six months of 2023. Net mortgage banking income decreased 33.6% to $4.6 million in the first six months of 2024, compared to $6.9 million in the first six months of 2023. These decreases were driven by a decline in net gain on sale of mortgage loans.
Eagle’s second quarter noninterest expense increased 1.6% to $17.3 million, compared to $17.0 million in the preceding quarter and decreased 7.9% compared to $18.8 million in the second quarter a year ago. Lower salaries and employee benefits contributed to the decrease compared to the year ago quarter. In the first six months of 2024, noninterest expense decreased 2.8% to $34.3 million, compared to $35.3 million in the first six months of 2023.
For the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $444,000. This compared to an income tax expense of $370,000 in the preceding quarter and income tax expense of $344,000 in the second quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 20.3%, compared to 14.6% for the second quarter of 2023. The year-to-date effective tax rate was 18.3% for 2024 compared to 20.9% for the same period in 2023.
Credit Quality
During the second quarter of 2024, Eagle recorded a provision for credit losses of $412,000. This compared to a $135,000 recapture to its provision for credit losses in the preceding quarter and a $319,000 provision for credit losses in the second quarter a year ago. The allowance for credit losses represented 330.8% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2024, compared to 227.6% three months earlier and 156.7% a year earlier. Nonperforming loans were $5.1 million at June 30, 2024, $7.2 million at March 31, 2024, and $9.9 million a year earlier.
Net loan charge-offs totaled $2,000 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to net loan recoveries of $65,000 in the preceding quarter and net loan recoveries of $151,000 in the second quarter a year ago. The allowance for credit losses was $16.8 million, or 1.11% of total loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $16.4 million, or 1.10% of total loans, at March 31, 2024, and $15.6 million, or 1.09% of total loans, a year ago.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States, or GAAP, the Financial Ratios and Other Data contains non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures include: 1) core efficiency ratio, 2) tangible book value per share and 3) tangible common equity to tangible assets. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and performance trends, and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. In particular, the use of tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets is prevalent among banking regulators, investors and analysts.
The numerator for the core efficiency ratio is calculated by subtracting acquisition costs and intangible asset amortization from noninterest expense. Tangible assets and tangible common shareholders’ equity are calculated by excluding intangible assets from assets and shareholders’ equity, respectively. For these financial measures, our intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangible. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding. We believe that this measure is consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and present this measure to facilitate the comparison of the quality and composition of our capital over time and in comparison, to our competitors.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure of tangible book value per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for book value per share or total shareholders’ equity determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies.
