Curtis Griffith, South Plains’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am very proud of our performance once again this quarter as we delivered net interest
income growth despite continued pressure on our funding costs. We have benefited from the strong loan growth delivered during the first half of 2023 combined with a healthy rise in our loan portfolio’s yield, which increased an additional sixteen
basis points to 6.10% in the third quarter. We also believe we have ample opportunities to reprice both our commercial loan and indirect auto portfolios over the next year which will continue to drive interest income growth even if our balance sheet
only experiences moderate growth given the slowing economy. Importantly, we have not sacrificed credit quality as the credit metrics of our loan portfolio remain strong, evidenced by our nonperforming assets being at their lowest level since before
our IPO in 2019. While we continue to deliver solid growth and strong credit metrics, our share price has remained below what we believe to be intrinsic value. As a result, we repurchased 355,000 shares for total proceeds of $9.3 million in the
third quarter.”
Results of Operations, Quarter Ended September 30, 2023
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $35.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $34.6 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $35.1 million for
the third quarter of 2022. Net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.52% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 3.65% for the second quarter of 2023 and 3.70% for the third quarter of 2022. The average yield on loans was
6.10% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 5.94% for the second quarter of 2023 and 5.12% for the third quarter of 2022. The average cost of deposits was 207 basis points for the third quarter of 2023, which is 40 basis points higher than the
second quarter of 2023 and 157 basis points higher than the third quarter of 2022.
Interest income was $56.5 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $50.8 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $41.1 million for the
third quarter of 2022. Interest income increased $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2023 from the second quarter of 2023, which was mainly comprised of an increase of $3.4 million in loan interest income and $2.3 million in interest income on other
interest-earning assets. The growth in loan interest income was primarily due to an increase of $111.6 million in average loans outstanding and the rising short-term interest rate environment, as the yield on loans rose 16 basis points. The
additional interest income on other interest-earning assets was predominately a result of increased liquidity maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and increased rates. Interest income increased $15.7 million in the third quarter of 2023
compared to the third quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase of average loans of $334.5 million and higher market interest rates during the period, resulting in growth of $11.8 million in loan interest income.
Interest expense was $20.8 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $16.2 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $6.0 million for the
third quarter of 2022. Interest expense increased $4.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2023 and $14.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of significantly rising short-term interest rates on interest-bearing
liabilities, with the increase being mainly comprised of interest expense on deposits. Additionally, interest-bearing deposits have grown during both of the period comparisons. Average brokered deposits increased approximately $175 million during the
third quarter 2023 from the second quarter 2023.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income was $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $47.1 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $20.9 million for
the third quarter of 2022. The decrease from the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the $33.5 million gain on sale of Windmark Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Windmark”) in the second quarter of 2023. Additionally, bank card services and
interchange revenue decreased $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2023, after increasing $1.1 million during the second quarter. The increase in the second quarter was mainly as a result of incentives and
rebates received during the period. The decrease in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to a reduction of $4.8 million in income from insurance activities due to the sale of
Windmark and a decrease of $1.7 million in mortgage banking revenues as originations of mortgage loans held for sale declined $50.1 million as mortgage interest rates have risen which has slowed mortgage activity. Additionally, there was $2.1 million
of income in legal settlements during the third quarter of 2022.
Noninterest expense was $31.5 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $40.5 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $37.4 million for
the third quarter of 2022. The $9.0 million decrease from the second quarter of 2023 was largely the result the second quarter having $4.5 million in personnel and transaction expenses as part of the Windmark sale plus related incentive compensation
and a $3.4 million loss on the sale of securities. The decrease in noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by a reduction of $2.9 million in Windmark expenses due to the sale, a
reduction of $1.8 million in mortgage personnel costs due to the decline in mortgage loan originations and a decrease of $759 thousand in legal expenses incurred largely as a result of a vendor dispute, which was resolved and accounted for by the end
of 2022.
Loan Portfolio and Composition
Loans held for investment were $2.99 billion as of September 30, 2023, compared to $2.98 billion as of June 30, 2023 and $2.69 billion as of
September 30, 2022. The $14.5 million, or 1.9% annualized, increase during the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 occurred primarily in commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans, seasonal agricultural
loans, and energy loans, partially offset by $16.5 million in loan payoffs of nonperforming credits as detailed below. As of September 30, 2023, loans held for investment increased $303.2 million, or 11.3% year over year, from September 30, 2022,
primarily attributable to strong organic loan growth.
Deposits and Borrowings
Deposits totaled $3.62 billion as of September 30, 2023, compared to $3.57 billion as of June 30, 2023 and $3.46 billion as of September 30, 2022.
Deposits increased by $46.1 million, or 1.3%, in the third quarter of 2023 from June 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, deposits increased $160.1 million, or 4.6% year over year, from September 30, 2022. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $1.05
billion as of September 30, 2023, compared to $1.10 billion as of June 30, 2023 and $1.26 billion as of September 30, 2022. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28.9% of total deposits as of September 30, 2023. The quarterly growth in deposits
was mainly the result of an increase of $71 million in brokered deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $14 million in public-fund deposits. The year-over-year increase in deposits is primarily a result of growth of $152 million in brokered
deposits in the second and third quarters of 2023 given the overall focus on improving liquidity.
Asset Quality
The Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2023 of $0.7 million, compared to $3.7 million in the second
quarter of 2023 and a negative provision of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. The negative provision during the third quarter of 2023 was largely attributable to a reduction of $1.3 million in specific reserves, partially offset by organic
loan growth and net charge-off activity during the third quarter. The reduction in specific reserves was a result of the full repayment of a $13.3 million nonaccrual relationship in the third quarter. Classified loans declined $16.8 million during
the third quarter of 2023 to $50.7 million from $67.4 million at June 30, 2023.
The ratio of allowance for credit losses to loans held for investment was 1.41% as of September 30, 2023, compared to 1.45% as of June 30, 2023 and
1.47% as of September 30, 2022.
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets as of September 30, 2023 was 0.12%, compared to 0.51% as of June 30, 2023 and 0.20% at September
30, 2022. Annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) were 0.05% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 0.05% for the second quarter of 2023 and (0.10)% for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in nonperforming assets was a result of the full
repayment of the $13.3 million relationship noted above and full repayment of a $3.3 million nonperforming relationship during the third quarter.
Capital
Book value per share decreased to $22.39 at September 30, 2023, compared to $23.13 at June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease
in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and by $9.3 million in share repurchases, partially offset by an increase of $11.3 million of net income after dividends paid. The decrease in AOCI was attributed to the after-tax decline in fair
value of our available for sale securities, net of fair value hedges, as a result of significant increases in long-term market interest rates during the period.
