First Capital, Inc. Reports Quarterly Earnings

CORYDON, Ind., July 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FCAP), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $2.8 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

Net interest income after provision for credit losses increased $335,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Interest income increased $1.6 million when comparing the periods due to an increase in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 3.88% for the second quarter of 2023 to 4.42% for the second quarter of 2024. The average balance of interest-earning assets was $1.12 billion for the second quarters of 2023 and 2024. The increase in the tax-equivalent yield was primarily due to an increase in the tax equivalent yield on loans to 5.99% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 5.56% for the same period in 2023.   Interest expense increased $1.3 million when comparing the periods due to an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.12% for the second quarter of 2023 to 1.71% for the second quarter of 2024, in addition to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from $813.9 million for the second quarter of 2023 to $830.7 million for the second quarter of 2024. The Company had average outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of $3.6 million and $4.5 million with an average rate of 5.71% and 5.19% during the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had average outstanding borrowings under the Federal Reserve Bank’s Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) of $33.6 million and $6.1 million with an average rate of 4.84% and 5.01% during the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s total average outstanding balance of borrowings were $37.2 million and $10.6 million with an average rate of 4.93% and 5.09% during the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a result of the changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the tax-equivalent net interest margin increased from 3.06% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to 3.15% for the same period in 2024.  

Based on management’s analysis of the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) on loans and unfunded loan commitments, the provision for credit losses increased from $350,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to $360,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to loan growth during the period, the increase in the nonperforming assets during the quarter described later in this release, as well as management’s consideration of macroeconomic uncertainty. The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $30,000 and $158,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Noninterest income increased $160,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023.   The Company recognized a $65,000 increase in gains on sale of loans, when comparing the two periods. In addition, the Company recognized a $6,000 loss on equity securities for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to a $92,000 loss for the same quarter in 2023.

Noninterest expense increased $334,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, due primarily to increases in compensation and benefits and professional fees of $160,000 and $138,000, respectively. The increase in compensation and benefits is due to standard increases in salary and wages as well as increases in the cost of Company-provided health insurance benefits. The increase in professional fees is primarily due to increased costs associated with the Company’s annual audit and fees being accrued for the Company’s ongoing core contract negotiations.

Income tax expense increased $59,000 for the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to the initial recognition of benefits from tax credit entity investments during 2023. As a result, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was 14.7% compared to 13.6% for the same period in 2023.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported net income of $5.8 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.5 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses decreased $343,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Interest income increased $3.3 million when comparing the two periods due to an increase in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 3.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 4.36% for the same period in 2024.   The increase in the tax-equivalent yield was primarily due to an increase in the tax equivalent yield on loans to 5.95% for the first six months of 2024 compared to 5.48% for the same period in 2023. Interest expense increased $3.5 million as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 0.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 1.63% for the same period in 2024, in addition to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from $801.1 million for the first six months of 2023 to $832.2 million for the same period of 2024. The Company had average outstanding advances from the FHLB of $3.5 million and $2.3 million with an average rate of 5.67% and 5.19% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had average outstanding borrowings under the Federal Reserve Bank’s BTFP of $32.8 million and $3.0 million with an average rate of 4.82% and 5.01% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s total average outstanding balance of borrowings were $36.3 million and $5.3 million with an average rate of 4.90% and 5.09% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As a result of the changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased from 3.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 3.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Based on management’s analysis of the ACL on loans and unfunded loan commitments, the provision for credit losses increased from $543,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $640,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.   The increase was due to loan growth during the period, the increase in the nonperforming assets during the second quarter described later in this release, as well as management’s consideration of macroeconomic uncertainty. The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $85,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $361,000 for the same period in 2023.  

Noninterest income increased $68,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to increases in gains on the sale of loans and other income of $80,000 and $65,000, respectively. The increase in other income is primarily due to the recognition of a $57,000 distribution related to the Company’s investment in a technology fund during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to no such distribution during the six months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, the Company recognized a $32,000 net gain on sale of available for securities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a $14,000 net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The six months ended June 30, 2024 also included a $74,000 loss on equity securities compared to a $45,000 gain on equity securities during the same period in 2023.

Noninterest expenses increased $690,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. This was primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits, professional fees and other expenses of $214,000, $211,000 and $146,000, respectively, when comparing the two periods. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to increases in fraud losses of $68,000, FDIC insurance premiums of $46,000 and the Company’s support of local communities through sponsorships and donations which increased $59,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Income tax expense decreased $203,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 resulting in an effective tax rate of 14.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 15.5% for the same period in 2023. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily due to the Company’s recognition of six months of benefits from tax credit entity investments during 2024 which were only initiated during the latter part of the second quarter of 2023.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023

Total assets were $1.16 billion at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Net loans receivable and total cash and cash equivalents increased $15.6 million and $11.9 million from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024, respectively, while securities available for sale decreased $23.0 million, during the same period. Deposits decreased $11.0 million from $1.03 billion at December 31, 2023 to $1.01 billion at June 30, 2024. The Bank had $33.6 million in borrowings outstanding through the Federal Reserve Bank’s BTFP at June 30, 2024 compared to $21.5 million at December 31, 2023. Nonperforming assets (consisting of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and foreclosed real estate) increased from $1.8 million at December 31, 2023 to $4.1 million at June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the nonaccrual classification of a $2.0 million borrowing relationship during the second quarter of 2024, the loans of which are secured by commercial business assets.
