ATLANTA, Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ameris Bancorp (Nasdaq: ABCB) (the "Company") today reported net income of $80.1 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared with $92.6 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 .
For the year-to-date period ending September 30, 2023, the Company reported net income of $203.2 million, or $2.94 per diluted share, compared with $264.3 million, or $3.81 per diluted share, for the same period in 2022. The year-to-date period ending September 30, 2023 included a provision for credit losses of $119.7 million, compared with $38.8 million for the same period in 2022. The year-to-date period ending September 30, 2022 included a recovery of servicing right impairment of $21.8 million, with no such recovery in the same period in 2023.
Commenting on the Company's results, Palmer Proctor, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are proud of another strong quarter, highlighted by core fundamentals and capital growth, which will continue to serve us well as we move into 2024. The profitability of our Company remains solid with an ROA of 1.25%, PPNR ROA of over 2%, net interest margin of 3.54% and efficiency ratio of just over 52%. We grew core deposits, tangible book value and improved our allowance for loan loss coverage ratio, all of which strengthened our balance sheet during the quarter. All of these things, combined with our focus on controlled growth, position us well for the remainder of 2023 and moving into 2024."
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis (TE) was $208.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 0.8%, from last quarter and $5.2 million, or 2.4%, compared with the third quarter of 2022. The Company's net interest margin was 3.54% for the third quarter of 2023, down from 3.60% reported for the second quarter of 2023 and 3.97% reported for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in net interest margin this quarter is primarily attributable to rising deposit costs in the current interest rate environment.
Yields on earning assets increased ten basis points during the quarter to 5.62%, compared with 5.52% in the second quarter of 2023, and increased 125 basis points from 4.37% in the third quarter of 2022. Yields on loans increased to 5.81% during the third quarter of 2023, compared with 5.66% for the second quarter of 2023 and 4.62% for the third quarter of 2022.
Loan production in the banking division during the third quarter of 2023 was $621.0 million, with weighted average yields of 9.49%, compared with $544.3 million and 9.35%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2023 and $1.12 billion and 6.26%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022. Loan production in the lines of business (including retail mortgage, warehouse lending, SBA and premium finance) amounted to an additional $4.2 billion during the third quarter of 2023, with weighted average yields of 7.28%, compared with $4.7 billion and 6.83%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2023 and $4.6 billion and 5.29%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2022.
The Company's total cost of funds was 2.24% in the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 19 basis points compared with the second quarter of 2023. Deposit costs increased 24 basis points during the third quarter of 2023 to 2.00%, compared with 1.76% in the second quarter of 2023. Costs of interest-bearing deposits increased during the quarter from 2.64% in the second quarter of 2023 to 2.97% in the third quarter of 2023, reflecting a shift in mix to CDs and money market accounts in the rising rate environment.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income decreased $4.2 million, or 6.2%, in the third quarter of 2023 to $63.2 million, compared with $67.3 million for the second quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of decreased mortgage banking activity, which decreased by $4.5 million, or 10.9%, to $36.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared with $40.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. Gain on sale spreads decreased slightly to 2.15% in the third quarter of 2023 from 2.18% for the second quarter of 2023. Total production in the retail mortgage division decreased $157.2 million, or 11.8%, to $1.18 billion in the third quarter of 2023, compared with $1.33 billion for the second quarter of 2023. The retail mortgage open pipeline was $623.9 million at the end of the third quarter of 2023, compared with $652.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. Other noninterest income decreased $749,000, or 5.2%, to $13.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared with $14.3 million for the second quarter of 2023, primarily resulting from a decrease in gain on debt redemption of $905,000 .
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense decreased $7.0 million, or 4.7%, to $141.4 million during the third quarter of 2023, compared with $148.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in noninterest expense was driven by a decrease in problem loan expense of $2.2 million, a $1.0 million decrease in FDIC insurance costs, a $1.4 million decrease in legal and professional fees, a $1.1 million decrease in fraud /forgery and litigation resolution expenses and a decrease in variable compensation related to mortgage production of $965,000 . Management continues to focus on operating efficiency, and the adjusted efficiency ratio(1) decreased to 52.02% in the third quarter of 2023, compared with 53.41% in the second quarter of 2023.
Income Tax Expense
The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 was 23.7%, compared with 24.5% for the second quarter of 2023. The decreased rate for the third quarter of 2023 was primarily a result of decreased permanent differences related to nondeductible compensation and FDIC insurance premiums, compared with the second quarter of 2023.
Balance Sheet Trends
Total assets at September 30, 2023 were $25.70 billion, compared with $25.05 billion at December 31, 2022. Cash and cash equivalents increased 38.2% to $1.55 billion at September 30, 2023, compared with $1.12 billion at December 31, 2022. Debt securities available-for-sale decreased to $1.42 billion, compared with $1.50 billion at December 31, 2022. Loans, net of unearned income, increased $345.8 million, or 2.3% annualized, to $20.20 billion at September 30, 2023, compared with $19.86 billion at December 31, 2022 . Loans held for sale decreased slightly to $381.5 million at September 30, 2023 from $392.1 million at December 31, 2022 .
Investment securities decreased to $1.57 billion, or 6.6% of earning assets at the end of the third quarter of 2023, compared with $1.63 billion, or 7.2% of earning assets at December 31, 2022. The Company did not deploy excess liquidity into the securities portfolio until after rates began rising during 2022; as a result, the unrealized loss position in the Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio remains modest at just 5.2% of the portfolio.
At September 30, 2023, total deposits amounted to $20.59 billion, compared with $19.46 billion at December 31, 2022. During the third quarter of 2023, deposits grew $147.2 million, with money market and savings accounts increasing $359.6 million and retail CDs increasing $156.8 million, with such increases offset in part by a $117.3 million decrease in noninterest bearing accounts and a $252.9 million decrease in interest bearing demand accounts. Due to the increased interest rate environment, the Company continued to see the shift of customer deposits from noninterest bearing accounts into interest bearing accounts, such that at September 30, 2023, noninterest bearing deposit accounts represented $6.59 billion, or 32.0% of total deposits, compared with $7.93 billion, or 40.7% of total deposits, at December 31, 2022.
During the third quarter of 2023, utilizing existing liquidity, the Company reduced borrowings with the FHLB by $325.0 million and redeemed, at a discount, $2.5 million in principal amount of its 4.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes Due 2029.
Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2023 totaled $3.35 billion, an increase of $149.7 million, or 4.7%, from December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily the result of earnings of $203.2 million during the first nine months of 2023, partially offset by dividends declared, share repurchases and an increase in other comprehensive loss of $14.3 million resulting from changes in interest rates on the Company's investment portfolio. Tangible book value per share(1) increased $2.46 per share, or 11.0% annualized, during the first nine months of 2023 to $32.38 at September 30, 2023. The Company recorded dilution of $0.21 per share, or 0.7%, to tangible book value(1) from other comprehensive loss related to the increase in net unrealized losses on the securities portfolio during this same period. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets was 9.11% at September 30, 2023, compared with 8.67% at the end of 2022.
Credit Quality
Credit quality remains strong in the Company. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $24.5 million, compared with a provision of $45.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. The third quarter provision was primarily attributable to the updated economic forecast, partially offset by a decline in loans of $270.7 million during the quarter. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were up one basis point to 0.58% during the quarter. Approximately $80.8 million, or 53.9%, of the nonperforming assets at September 30, 2023 were GNMA-guaranteed mortgage loans, which have minimal loss exposure. Excluding these government-guaranteed loans, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets improved three basis points to 0.27% at September 30, 2023, compared with 0.30% at the second quarter of 2023. The net charge-off ratio was 23 basis points for the third quarter of 2023, compared with 28 basis points in the second quarter of 2023.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company's board of directors, on October 26, 2023, authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. Repurchases of shares, which are authorized to occur through October 31, 2024, will be made, if at all, in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made from time to time in the open market or by negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases will be based on a variety of factors, including share acquisition price, regulatory limitations and other market and economic factors. The program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares. The board's authorization is a continuation of and increase in the Company's previously announced share repurchase program which was set to expire on October 31 and under which the Company has repurchased $13.5 million of its outstanding common stock in the past 12 months.
