RALEIGH, N.C., July 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("BancShares") (NASDAQ:FCNCA) reported earnings for the second quarter and year to date period ended June 30, 2022.

Chairman and CEO, Frank B. Holding, Jr. on second quarter results, "We are pleased to announce another quarter of solid results. Our integration efforts remain on track, and we completed our first major customer conversion of the OneWest Bank division and certain CIT treasury management customers. Merger integration is now substantially complete with some optimization efforts continuing into 2023. In addition, we are excited to announce that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan which will allow us to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of our Class A common stock over the next 12 months. Returning excess capital to our shareholders is a key strategic focus and we are excited about the opportunity to execute on the plan.

"Loan growth was strong this quarter, and pre-provision net revenue continued its momentum as our net interest margin expanded, our fee income producing lines of business performed well and expense control remained solid. We remain committed to achieving our cost savings goal as we continue to optimize our operations."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Second quarter net income available to common stockholders was $238 million, or $14.86 per share, compared to first quarter net income available to common stockholders of $264 million or $16.70 per share. Adjusted for notable items, second quarter net income available to common stockholders was $270 million or $16.86, down from $299 million, or $18.95 per share in the first quarter of 2022.

The primary driver of the decline in adjusted net income was a provision expense in the second quarter totaling $42 million versus a $49 million benefit in the first quarter. The increase in provision expense was largely offset by solid pre-provision net revenue growth.

BancShares completed the acquisition of CIT Group, Inc. ("CIT") on January 3, 2022 (the "CIT Merger"). BancShares' financial information presented for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 reflects the acquisition of CIT. Certain historical financial information referenced as "Combined" in the commentary below reflects the combination of BancShares and CIT for historical periods prior to completion of the CIT Merger. For Combined financial information, refer to pages 8 through 12. For GAAP financial information, refer to pages 5 through 7. Certain financial results referenced as "Adjusted" in the commentary below excludes notable items, which are detailed on page 10. For Adjusted financial information, refer to page 11. The Combined and Adjusted financial information are non-GAAP measures.

2Q22 vs 1Q22:

Adjusted pre-provision net revenue increased by $60 million over the first quarter due to growth in net revenue as net interest margin expanded and fee income grew, while expenses declined.
Net interest income increased by $51 million. Interest income increased $47 million due to higher interest income on loans, as earning asset yields rose, and we experienced strong loan growth. Interest expense declined by $4 million as an increase in interest expense on deposits was more than offset by a decline in interest on borrowings.
Net interest margin expanded from 2.73% to 3.04% due primarily to higher loan yields and balances, the impact of the $3 billion debt redemption in the first quarter and higher yields on investment securities and overnight investments, partially offset by higher deposit rates and lower SBA-PPP income.
Adjusted noninterest income increased by $3 million. The increase was primarily due to higher capital markets and wealth management revenue, partially offset by a decline in rental income on operating leases, net.
Adjusted noninterest expense decreased by $6 million primarily due to a decline in personnel expense.
Provision for credit losses, adjusted for the CECL Day 2 provision, increased by $91 million primarily due to changes in CECL macroeconomic forecasts and loan growth.
Total loans increased $2.2 billion or by 13.5% on an annualized basis. We experienced strong growth in our branch network and residential mortgage portfolio as well as in our commercial bank from a number of our industry verticals, middle market banking and business capital.
Deposits declined $2.3 billion or by 9.9% on an annualized basis. The main components of the decline were a $3.0 billion decline in interest-bearing deposits (money market deposits and time deposits) as we saw sensitive customers begin to move funds in response to recent rate increases. The reductions were primarily concentrated in acquired higher cost channels including the direct bank and legacy OneWest branches, offset by growth in our branch network. These declines in interest-bearing deposits were offset by growth in noninterest-bearing deposits of $747 million, or 11.6% annualized.

2Q22 vs 2Q21 (Combined):

Adjusted pre-provision net revenue increased by $114 million or 37.6% due to double digit percentage growth in net revenue as net interest margin expanded and fee income grew, while expenses increased at a modest pace.
Net interest income increased by $88 million. Interest income increased $24 million due to higher yields on investment securities and overnight investments, partially offset by reduced accretion income on acquired loans and SBA-PPP income. Interest expense declined $64 million driven primarily by lower borrowings.
Net interest margin improved from 2.56% to 3.04% due primarily to the impact of the $3 billion debt redemption in the first quarter, higher earning asset yields, partially offset by lower SBA-PPP income, lower accretion income and a reduction in loan balances.
Adjusted noninterest income increased by $37 million primarily due to higher rental income on operating leases, net and increases in wealth management income, service charges on deposits and card income.
Adjusted noninterest expense increased $11 million due to higher personnel costs, increased occupancy and equipment expense and higher third-party processing fees, partially offset by declines in professional fees and FDIC insurance expense.
Provision for credit losses increased by $136 million primarily due to changes in CECL macroeconomic forecasts, releases of COVID-related reserves in the second quarter of 2021 and loan growth.
Loans increased $1.3 billion or by 2.0%. Excluding the impact of SBA-PPP loans and purchase accounting adjustments, loans increased $2.8 billion or by 4.3%. Growth was attributable to the same factors as noted for the linked quarter above.
Deposits declined $367 million or by 0.4% compared to the prior year quarter. The decline was a result of a $2.5 billion reduction in interest-bearing deposits partially offset by a $2.1 billion increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. The changes are due to similar reasons as noted for the linked quarter.
