Macatawa Bank Corporation

HOLLAND, Mich., April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Macatawa Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: MCBC), the holding company for Macatawa Bank (collectively, the “Company”), today announced its results for the first quarter 2024.

• Net income of $9.8 million in first quarter 2024 – a decrease from $12.0 million earned in first quarter 2023 and an increase from $9.5 million earned in fourth quarter 2023

• Net interest margin of 3.26% in first quarter 2024 versus 3.44% in first quarter 2023 and 3.28% in fourth quarter 2023

• Continued loan portfolio growth – $3.8 million, or 1.1% annualized growth rate, for first quarter 2024, and $121.3 million, or 9.9%, in the last 12 months

• Deposit portfolio balances decreased $131.3 million in the first quarter 2024 due to seasonal fluctuations in municipal and business deposits

• Strong credit quality metrics – non-performing assets total less than $1,000, allowance to total loans coverage of 1.30% as of March 31, 2024

• No provision for credit losses required in first quarter 2024

• Entered into a definitive merger agreement on April 15, 2024 with Wintrust Financial Corporation (“Wintrust”)

• Approximately $300,000 in merger related expenses decreased earnings in the first quarter 2024

The Company reported net income of $9.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in first quarter 2024 compared to $12.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in first quarter 2023.

"We are pleased to report strong profitability and balance sheet results for the first quarter 2024,” said Jon Swets, President and CEO of the Company. “We have started the year right where we left off with continued loan portfolio growth and maintained our excellent asset quality.  On the funding side of the balance sheet we continue to see a slowing of the shift in our deposits to higher interest bearing types."

Mr. Swets continued, "We believe our balance sheet is well positioned in the current environment.  In addition to the $331.4 million of overnight funds we have at the end of the first quarter, we have over $270 million of investment securities maturing over the next twelve months.  Over $100 million of that total is expected to mature in the second quarter 2024.  Deploying those funds into loans or even additional overnight funds will be accretive to our interest income.  Our liquidity, high level of capital, and excellent asset quality put us in a good position to seize loan growth opportunities in our markets.”

Regarding the pending merger with Wintrust, Mr. Swets noted, “We are excited for the opportunities this combination will provide our customers, our community and our employees.  We share a core community banking philosophy and know that this combination allows us to continue focusing on serving our customers and growing our presence in the markets we serve. We remain committed to the conservative and well-disciplined approach to running the Company that has resulted in strong and consistent financial performance.”

Operating Results
Net interest income for the first quarter 2024 totaled $20.7 million, a decrease of $714,000 from fourth quarter 2023 and a decrease of $1.9 million from first quarter 2023. Net interest margin for first quarter 2024 was 3.26% percent, down 2 basis points from fourth quarter 2023 and down 18 basis points from first quarter 2023. Net interest income in first quarter 2024 versus first quarter 2023 was impacted by increases in deposit rates and significant shifting of deposits from noninterest bearing types to money market and certificate of deposit accounts in response to the significant increases in the federal funds rate over the past two years.   Interest on commercial loans increased $390,000 in the first quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and by $2.5 million compared to first quarter 2023 due to increases in both rate and average portfolio balances. Interest on federal funds in the first quarter 2024 decreased by $974,000 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and by $1.7 million compared to first quarter 2023 due to lower average balances held more than offsetting the impact of higher rates paid. Interest on investment securities in the first quarter 2024 decreased by $140,000 over fourth quarter 2023 and by $53,000 over first quarter 2023, reflecting portfolio contraction. Interest expense totaled $8.4 million in the first quarter 2024 compared to $8.2 million in fourth quarter 2023 and $4.7 million in the first quarter 2023 as rates paid on deposits increased and given the shift into interest bearing deposit types.

Non-interest income decreased $24,000 in first quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and increased $132,000 from first quarter 2023. Deposit service charge income, including treasury management fees, was down $33,000 in first quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and was up $9,000 from first quarter 2023. The decrease from fourth quarter 2023 and slight increase from first quarter 2023 was primarily due to treasury management income.  Brokerage income was down $17,000 in first quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and was up $33,000 compared to first quarter 2023. The higher rate environment continued to have a negative effect on gains on sales of mortgage loans in first quarter 2024, which were $8,000, down $20,000 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and down $3,000 from first quarter 2023. The Company originated $402,000 in mortgage loans for sale in first quarter 2024 compared to $1.2 million in fourth quarter 2023 and $179,000 in first quarter 2023. All three periods reflected low originations for sale as the Company intentionally shifted its fixed rate originations to hold in portfolio given the relatively high interest rates on production in those periods as well as customer preference for variable rate mortgages, which the Company holds in portfolio.  Trust fees were up $165,000 in first quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and were up $187,000 compared to first quarter 2023, due largely to changes in underlying trust asset valuations. Income from debit and credit cards was down $33,000 in first quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and was down $79,000 compared to first quarter 2023 due primarily to customer usage behavior.

Non-interest expense was $13.2 million for first quarter 2024, compared to $14.0 million for fourth quarter 2023 and $12.2 million for first quarter 2023. The largest component of non-interest expense was salaries and benefits expenses. Salaries and benefits expenses were down $1.2 million compared to fourth quarter 2023 and were up $252,000 compared to first quarter 2023. The decrease compared to fourth quarter 2023 was primarily due to $1.3 million in expenses related to the CEO retirement agreement effective November 1, 2023 incurred in the fourth quarter 2023. The table below identifies the primary components of the changes in salaries and benefits between periods.

Occupancy expenses were up $51,000 in first quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and were down $138,000 compared to first quarter 2023. Furniture and equipment expenses were up $8,000 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and were up $31,000 compared to first quarter 2023 due primarily to costs associated with equipment and software service contracts. Legal and professional fees were up $212,000 in first quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023 and were up $316,000 compared to first quarter 2023 due to higher use of corporate counsel in the first quarter 2024, including executive management transition and other strategic matters, including fees related to the Company’s pending merger with Wintrust.  Other categories of non-interest expense were relatively flat compared to fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2023 due to a continued focus on expense management.

Federal income tax expense was $2.3 million for first quarter 2024, $2.3 million for fourth quarter 2023, and $3.0 million for first quarter 2023. The effective tax rate was 19.35% for first quarter 2024, compared to 19.27% for fourth quarter 2023 and 19.86% for first quarter 2023.

Asset Quality
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, commonly referred to as “CECL” on January 1, 2023. The impact on adoption was an increase to the allowance for credit losses of $1.5 million. No provision for credit losses was taken in first quarter 2024. A provision for credit losses of $400,000 was taken in fourth quarter 2023 and no provision for credit losses was taken in first quarter 2023. The provision in fourth quarter 2023 was largely driven by loan growth during the quarter.  Net loan chargeoffs for first quarter 2024 were $2,000, compared to fourth quarter 2023 net loan recoveries of $41,000 and first quarter 2023 net loan recoveries of $33,000. At March 31, 2024, the Company had experienced net loan recoveries in thirty-four of the past thirty-seven quarters. Total loans past due on payments by 30 days or more amounted to $340,000 at March 31, 2024, versus $44,000 at December 31, 2023 and $277,000 at March 31, 2023.  Further, the weighted average loan grade of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio decreased to 3.49 at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, compared to 3.51 at March 31, 2023. A lower loan grade, which is more favorable, decreases the need for providing for credit losses on our portfolio.

The allowance for credit losses of $17.4 million was 1.30% of total loans at both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and $16.8 million or 1.38% at March 31, 2023. The coverage ratio of allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans continued to be strong and significantly exceeded 1-to-1 coverage at 17,440-to-1 as of March 31, 2024.

At March 31, 2024, the Company's nonperforming loans were $1,000, representing 0.00% of total loans. This compares to $1,000 (0.00% of total loans) at December 31, 2023 and $75,000 (0.01% of total loans) at March 31, 2023.   The Company sold its final other real estate owned property in first quarter 2023, recognizing a net gain of $356,000 and has had no other real estate owned since then. Total nonperforming assets, including other real estate owned and nonperforming loans, decreased by $74,000 from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital

Total assets were $2.61 billion at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $133.8 million from $2.75 billion at December 31, 2023 and a decrease of $22.2 million from $2.64 billion at March 31, 2023.

The Company’s investment securities portfolio primarily consists of U.S. treasury and agency securities, agency mortgage backed securities and various municipal securities. Total securities were $792.0 million at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $48.4 million from $840.3 million at December 31, 2023 and a decrease of $82.4 million from $874.3 million at March 31, 2023. The decrease from fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2023 was attributable primarily to the Company's decision to pause investment purchase activity, allowing maturities and paydowns to be used to fund loan growth and provide additional liquidity in overnight funds.  The overall duration of the Company’s investment securities portfolio at March 31, 2024 was relatively short, at 2.12 years. This provides a reliable source of cash inflows as investment securities mature to support liquidity.

Total loans were $1.34 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $3.8 million from $1.34 billion at December 31, 2023 and an increase of $121.3 million from $1.22 billion at March 31, 2023.

Commercial loans increased by $72.5 million from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, along with an increase of $47.2 million in the residential mortgage portfolio and an increase of $1.6 million in the consumer loan portfolio. Within commercial loans, commercial real estate loans increased by $29.4 million and commercial and industrial loans increased by $43.0 million. The loan growth experienced in this time period was the direct result of both new loan prospecting efforts and existing customers beginning to draw more on existing lines and borrow more for expansion of their businesses.

The composition of the commercial loan portfolio is shown in the table below:

Total deposits were $2.28 billion at March 31, 2024, down $131.3 million, or 5.4%, from $2.42 billion at December 31, 2023 and down $46.5 million, or 2.0%, from $2.33 billion at March 31, 2023. While the Company experienced an overall decline in deposit balances compared to the prior year, some of this was attributable to balances moving into wealth management accounts at the Bank, so these balances should continue to benefit the Company.

Macatawa’s deposit base is primarily made up of many small accounts, and balances at March 31, 2024 were comprised of 46% personal customers and 54% business customers. Core deposits - which Management defines as deposits sourced within its local markets - represented 100% of total deposits at March 31, 2024. Total deposit balances of $2.28 billion at March 31, 2024 remained elevated, reflecting a $579.0 million increase, or 34%, over pre-pandemic totals of $1.71 billion as of March 31, 2020.

Noninterest bearing demand deposits were down $28.7 million at the end of first quarter 2024 compared to the end of fourth quarter 2023 and were down $76.1 million compared to the end of first quarter 2023. Interest bearing demand deposits, money market deposits and savings deposits were down $98.8 million from the end of fourth quarter 2023 and were down $106.5 million from the end of first quarter 2023. Certificates of deposit were down $3.8 million at March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 and were up $136.1 million compared to March 31, 2023 as customers reacted to increases in market interest rates. All certificates of deposit are to local customers as the Company does not have any brokered deposits at March 31, 2024. The Company continues to be successful at attracting and retaining core local deposit customers. Customer deposit accounts remain insured to the highest levels available under FDIC deposit insurance.

Management has actively pursued initiatives to maintain a strong liquidity position. The Company has had no brokered deposits on balance sheet since December 2011 and continues to maintain significant on-balance sheet liquidity. At March 31, 2024, balances held in federal funds sold and other short-term investments amounted to $331.4 million. In addition, the Company had total additional borrowing capacity of approximately $373.4 million as of March 31, 2024. Because Management has maintained the discipline of buying shorter-term bond durations in the investment securities portfolio, there are $411.0 million in bond maturities and paydowns coming into the Company in the next 24 months ending March 31, 2026.

The Company's total risk-based regulatory capital ratio at March 31, 2024 was consistent with the ratio at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023. Macatawa Bank’s risk-based regulatory capital ratios continue to be at levels considerably above those required to be categorized as “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory capital guidelines. As such, the Bank was categorized as "well capitalized" with $151.3 million in excess capital over well capitalized minimums at March 31, 2024.
