    GREEN BAY, Wis., Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Associated Banc-Corp (NYSE:ASB) ("Associated" or "Company") today reported net income available to common equity ("earnings") of $112 million, or $0.72 per common share for the year ended December 31, 2024. These amounts compare to earnings of $171 million, or $1.13 per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported a loss of $164 million, or $1.03 per common share. These amounts compare to a loss of $94 million, or $0.62 per common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and earnings of $85 million, or $0.56 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

    The Company's results for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2024 were impacted by several nonrecurring items associated with the balance sheet repositioning announced during the fourth quarter. Excluding the impact of these nonrecurring items, the Company reported adjusted earnings of $367 million, or $2.38 per common share1 for the year, and $91 million, or $0.57 per common share1 for the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter nonrecurring items consisted of a $130 million loss on a mortgage portfolio sale, a $148 million net loss on a sale of investments, a $14 million loss on prepayments of FHLB advances, a $1 million increase in provision, and a $39 million tax benefit.

    "2024 was a year of significant progress for Associated," said President and CEO Andy Harmening. "We bolstered our executive team with several high-quality leaders, enhanced our consumer value proposition, expanded our commercial team, and complemented these actions with an equity raise and balance sheet repositioning. In the fourth quarter, the emerging momentum from these actions drove strong core financial results, with robust commercial loan growth, core customer deposit1 growth, and stable credit trends."

    "We're entering 2025 with several tailwinds including record-high customer satisfaction scores, net customer household growth, balance sheet growth, and a strengthened profitability profile. We feel well-positioned to deliver enhanced value for all of our stakeholders in 2025, and we look forward to providing updates throughout the year."

    2024 SUMMARY (all comparisons on a period end basis compared to 2023)

    • Diluted GAAP earnings per common share of $0.72; Adjusted diluted earnings per common share of $2.381

    Noninterest Income

    Full year 2024 noninterest income of negative $9 million decreased $73 million from the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by nonrecurring items associated with the balance sheet repositioning announced during the fourth quarter of 2024, including a $130 million loss on a mortgage portfolio sale and a $148 million net loss on a sale of investments. With respect to 2024 noninterest income line items:

    Fourth quarter 2024 total noninterest income of negative $207 million decreased $274 million from the prior quarter and decreased $76 million from the same period last year. The decrease was primarily driven by nonrecurring items associated with the balance sheet repositioning announced during the fourth quarter of 2024, including a $130 million loss on a mortgage portfolio sale and a $148 million net loss on a sale of investments. With respect to fourth quarter 2024 noninterest income line items:

    • Investment securities gains (losses) decreased $148 million from the prior quarter and decreased $89 million from the same period last year, driven primarily by a $148 million net loss on a sale of investments associated with the balance sheet repositioning announced during the fourth quarter of 2024.
    • Loss on mortgage portfolio sale increased $130 million from the prior quarter and decreased $6 million from the same period last year, driven by a $130 million loss on sale of mortgages associated with the balance sheet repositioning announced during the fourth quarter of 2024.

    • Capital markets, net increased $5 million from the prior quarter and was down slightly compared to the same period last year.
    • Mortgage banking, net increased $1 million from the prior quarter and increased $2 million from the same period last year.

    After adjusting to exclude the impact of the mortgage and investment securities sales announced during the fourth quarter of 2024, we expect total noninterest income growth of between 0% and 1% in 2025.

    Noninterest Expense

    Full year 2024 noninterest expense of $818 million increased 1%, or $5 million, from the prior year, including a $14 million expense for a loss on prepayments of FHLB advances associated with the balance sheet repositioning announced during the fourth quarter of 2024. With respect to full year 2024 noninterest expense line items:

    • FDIC assessment expense decreased $29 million from the prior year, driven primarily by a $31 million expense for the special assessment during the fourth quarter of 2023.
    • Personnel expense increased $20 million from the prior year, largely driven by increased investment in our colleagues.
    • Technology expense increased $6 million from the prior year, driven by investments tied to our strategic initiatives.

    Fourth quarter 2024 noninterest expense of $224 million increased $24 million from the prior quarter, driven primarily by a $14 million expense for a loss on prepayments of FHLB advances associated with the balance sheet repositioning announced during the fourth quarter of 2024, and decreased $15 million from the same period last year, driven primarily by a $31 million expense for the FDIC special assessment during the fourth quarter of 2023. With respect to fourth quarter 2024 noninterest expense line items:

    • Personnel expense increased $5 million from the prior quarter and increased $5 million from the same period last year.
    • FDIC assessment expense increased $1 million from the prior quarter and decreased $32 million from the same period last year, primarily driven by the $31 million special assessment during the fourth quarter of 2023.
    • Technology expense decreased slightly from the prior quarter and decreased $1 million from the same period last year.

    After adjusting to exclude the $14 million impact of the loss on prepayments of FHLB advances recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024, we expect total noninterest expense to grow by 3% to 4% in 2025.

    Taxes

    The fourth quarter of 2024 had a tax benefit of $16 million compared to $20 million of tax expense in the prior quarter and $47 million of tax benefit in the same period last year. The tax benefit recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024 was driven primarily by a loss on income before income taxes as a result of nonrecurring items associated with the previously announced balance sheet repositioning.

    In 2025, we expect the annual effective tax rate to be between 19% and 21%, assuming no change in the corporate tax rate.

    Credit

    Full year 2024 provision for credit losses was $85 million, compared to a provision of $83 million in the prior year. The increase in provision in 2024 was primarily driven by loan growth related to our strategic initiatives.

    The fourth quarter 2024 provision for credit losses was $17 million, compared to a provision of $21 million in the prior quarter and a provision of $21 million in the same period last year. With respect to fourth quarter 2024 credit quality:

    • Nonaccrual loans of $123 million decreased $5 million, or 4%, from the prior quarter and decreased $26 million, or 17%, from the same period last year. The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio was 0.41% in the fourth quarter, down from 0.43% in the prior quarter and down from 0.51% in the same period last year.
    • Net charge offs of $12 million decreased $1 million, or 7%, from the prior quarter and decreased $3 million, or 22%, from the same period last year.
    • The allowance for credit losses on loans (ACLL) of $402 million increased $5 million from the prior quarter and increased $16 million from the same period last year. The ACLL to total loans ratio was 1.35% in the fourth quarter, up from 1.33% in the prior quarter and up from 1.32% in the same period last year.

    In 2025, we expect to adjust provision to reflect changes to risk grades, economic conditions, loan volumes, and other indications of credit quality.

    Capital

    The Company's capital position remains strong, with a CET1 capital ratio of 10.00% at December 31, 2024. The Company's capital ratios continue to be in excess of the Basel III "well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks on a fully phased in basis.

    Numbers may not sum due to rounding.

    (a)

    The ratio tangible common equity to tangible assets excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, net. This financial measure has been included as it is considered to be a critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and strength.

    (b)

    Adjusted net income and adjusted net income available to common equity, which are used in the calculation of return on average tangible assets and return on average tangible common equity, respectively, add back other intangible amortization, net of tax.

    (c)

    These capital measurements are used by management, regulators, investors, and analysts to assess, monitor, and compare the quality and composition of our capital with the capital of other financial services companies.

    (d)

    These financial measures have been included as they provide meaningful supplemental information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations.

    (e)

    Management believes this measure is meaningful because it reflects adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators, and analysts to evaluate the adequacy of earnings per common share, provide greater understanding of ongoing operations, and enhance comparability of results with prior periods.

    (f)

    The efficiency ratio as defined by the Federal Reserve guidance is noninterest expense (which includes the provision for unfunded commitments) divided by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains (losses), net. The fully tax-equivalent efficiency ratio is noninterest expense (which includes the provision for unfunded commitments), excluding other intangible amortization, divided by the sum of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains (losses), net. The adjusted efficiency ratio is noninterest expense (which includes the provision for unfunded commitments), excluding other intangible amortization, FDIC special assessment costs, and announced initiatives, divided by the sum of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains (losses), net and announced initiatives. Management believes the adjusted efficiency ratio is a meaningful measure as it enhances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources and provides a better measure as to how the Corporation is managing its expenses by adjusting for nonrecurring costs like the FDIC special assessment and announced initiatives.
