  • Net income of $31 million or adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $28 million for fourth quarter 2023, compared to net income of $17 million or adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $23 million in prior quarter, and net income of $28 million or adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $28 million for fourth quarter 2022
  • Net income of $62 million and adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $101 million for 2023, compared to $94 million and adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $99 million for 2022, significantly impacted by first quarter balance sheet repositioning

Nicolet Bankshares, Inc. (NYSE: NIC) (“Nicolet”) announced fourth quarter 2023 net income of $31 million and earnings per diluted common share of $2.02, compared to net income of $17 million and earnings per diluted common share of $1.14 for third quarter 2023, and net income of $28 million and earnings per diluted common share of $1.83 for fourth quarter 2022. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $62 million and earnings per diluted common share of $4.08, compared to net income of $94 million and earnings per diluted common share of $6.56 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Net income reflected certain non-core items and the related tax effect of each, including the first quarter U.S. Treasury securities sale loss, the change in Wisconsin state tax law that impacted the third quarter, expected loss (provision expense) on a bank subordinated debt investment, a fourth quarter early contract termination charge, merger-related expenses, Day 2 credit provision expense required under the CECL model, as well as gains / (losses) on other assets and investments. These non-core items positively impacted earnings per diluted common share $0.17 for fourth quarter 2023, compared to a negative impact of $0.40 for third quarter 2023, and $0.01 for fourth quarter 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, these non-core items negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share $2.64, and negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share $0.34 for full year 2022.

“I’m pleased to say Nicolet produced the highest quarterly core net income in our 23-year history,” said Mike Daniels, Chairman, President and CEO of Nicolet. “The actions we took this year to position Nicolet for long-term success came to fruition as the year ended. We saw strong loan growth, solid growth in fee income, resilience in our credit quality, and a continued increase in net interest margin.”

Daniels continued, “2023 was not the year we thought it would be, but we certainly made the most of the year it became. Our employees continue to shine during macroeconomic uncertainty, which shows in the fact that we grew organically in all three main revenue areas (commercial, retail, and wealth). Our value proposition and entrepreneurial spirit continue to resonate in the communities we serve. The proactive balance sheet repositioning at the beginning of the year produced the results we thought it would, as we have a clean balance sheet and a rising net interest margin. The results we saw at the end of this year give us confidence that we are well positioned to maintain our momentum into 2024. Lastly, I’d be remiss to not thank my co-founder, Bob Atwell, for his contributions to Nicolet over the past 23 years. While his transition from Chairman is complete, we look forward to his ongoing commitment and energy as a Board member to this organization.”

Nicolet’s 2023 results were impacted by the Wisconsin State Budget signed in July 2023 and retroactive to January 1, 2023, which included language that provides financial institutions with an exemption from state taxable income for interest, fees, and penalties earned on loans to existing Wisconsin-based business or agriculture purpose loans that are $5 million or less in balance on January 1, 2023, and to new loans that meet the criteria. The impact of this tax law change to Nicolet moving forward will be a reduction / elimination of State income taxes being expensed, resulting in an estimated effective tax rate of 19.5% (compared to a 25% effective tax rate previously). However, the elimination of State income tax expense also required a valuation allowance to be established for the State-related deferred tax asset as of the effective date of the legislation, and a one-time $9.1 million charge to state income tax expense was recognized in third quarter to establish this valuation allowance.

Nicolet’s financial performance and certain balance sheet line items also were impacted by the timing and size of Nicolet’s August 2022 acquisition of Charter Bankshares, Inc. (“Charter”). Certain income statement results, average balances, and related ratios for 2022 include contributions from Charter from the acquisition date. At acquisition, Charter added assets of $1.1 billion, loans of $827 million, and deposits of $869 million.

Balance Sheet Review

At December 31, 2023, period end assets were $8.5 billion, an increase of $53 million (1%) from September 30, 2023, mostly growth in loans, partly offset by lower cash balances. Total loans increased $115 million (2%) from September 30, 2023, with growth in agricultural, commercial and industrial, and residential real estate loans. Total deposits of $7.2 billion at December 31, 2023, increased slightly ($15 million) from September 30, 2023. Total borrowings declined $31 million due to the early redemption of one subordinated note issuance. Total capital was $1.0 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $65 million over September 30, 2023, with earnings and favorable market valuations on available for sale securities, partly offset by the quarterly common stock dividend.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets were $28 million and represented 0.33% of total assets at December 31, 2023, compared to $32 million or 0.37% at September 30, 2023, and $40 million or 0.46% at December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses-loans was $64 million and represented 1.00% of total loans at December 31, 2023, compared to $63 million (or 1.01% of total loans) at September 30, 2023, and $62 million (or 1.00% of total loans) at December 31, 2022. Asset quality trends remain solid and loan net charge-offs were negligible.

Income Statement Review - Year

Net income was $62 million and adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $101 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $94 million and adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $99 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Net interest income was $242 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, up $2 million from the year ended December 31, 2022, the net of $109 million higher interest income and $107 million higher interest expense. The higher interest income was largely attributable to the repricing of new and renewed loans in a rising interest rate environment, as well as the reinvestment of security sales and maturities (mostly U.S. Treasury securities) into investable cash balances at higher rates. The increase in interest expense was due to both higher average balances and higher average rates, reflecting the rising interest rate environment as well as a shift to higher rate deposit products. The net interest margin for 2023 was 3.18%, down 22 bps from 3.40% for 2022. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 114 bps (to 5.02%) due to the rising interest rate environment, as well as the sales and maturities of securities reinvested as investable cash, while the cost of funds increased 194 bps (to 2.65%) for 2023, attributable mainly to the repricing of deposits and funding in the higher interest rate environment.

Noninterest income of $36 million for full year 2023 was down $22 million from full year 2022, significantly impacted by the first quarter balance sheet repositioning. Excluding net asset gains (losses), noninterest income for 2023 was $69 million, a $14 million increase over 2022. The year-over-year increase included higher wealth revenue (from growth in accounts and assets under management) and card interchange income, a favorable change in the fair value of nonqualified deferred compensation plan assets, and higher net LSR income, partly offset by lower net mortgage income.

Noninterest expense of $186 million for full year 2023 reflected an increase of $25 million over 2022. Personnel expense increased $10 million due to higher salaries and fringe benefits (mostly health insurance). Non-personnel expenses increased $15 million year-over-year mostly data processing (including a $3 million early contract termination charge and higher volume-based system processing) and office expense.

Income tax expense was $25 million (effective tax rate 28.99%) for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $31 million (effective tax rate 25.03%) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The change in income tax expense included a $9.1 million charge to income tax expense to establish a tax valuation allowance for the Wisconsin tax law change noted above.

Income Statement Review - Quarter

Net income was $31 million and adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $28 million for fourth quarter 2023, compared to net income of $17 million and adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $23 million for third quarter 2023.

Net interest income was $64 million for fourth quarter 2023, up $3 million from third quarter 2023. Interest income increased $4 million mostly due to the repricing of new and renewed loans in a rising interest rate environment, while interest expense increased $1 million due to both higher average funding balances and higher average rates. The net interest margin for fourth quarter 2023 was 3.30%, up 14 bps from 3.16% for third quarter 2023. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 17 bps (to 5.32%) due to the sale of U.S. Treasury securities reinvested as investable cash, as well as the rising interest rate environment, while the cost of funds increased 7 bps (to 2.90%) for fourth quarter 2023, attributable mainly to the repricing of deposits and funding in the higher interest rate environment.

Noninterest income of $24 million for fourth quarter 2023 increased $8 million over third quarter 2023, mostly due net asset gains of $6 million in fourth quarter 2023, which included a $9 million pre-tax gain on the sale of Nicolet’s member interest in UFS, LLC, partly offset by a $3 million loss on the sale of certain securities. Excluding the net asset gains (losses), noninterest income for fourth quarter 2023 was $18 million, a $2 million increase from third quarter 2023, mostly due to favorable changes in the fair value of nonqualified deferred compensation plan assets.

Noninterest expense of $50 million for fourth quarter 2023, increased $5 million over third quarter 2023. Personnel expense increased $3 million on higher health insurance and an increase in the fair value of nonqualified deferred compensation plan liabilities. Non-personnel expenses increased $2 million (7%) between the sequential quarters, mostly higher data processing (from the early contract termination charged noted above).

Income tax expense was $7 million (effective tax rate 18.06%) for fourth quarter 2023, compared to $15 million (effective tax rate 46.09%) for third quarter 2023. Third quarter 2023 income tax expense included a $9.1 million charge to income tax expense to establish a tax valuation allowance, partly offset by a $3.0 million reduction to income tax expense to reverse amounts recorded in the first half of 2023, both related to the Wisconsin tax law change noted above.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This communication contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted common share, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity, and tangible common equity to tangible assets. Management believes such measures to be helpful to management, investors and others in understanding Nicolet’s results of operations or financial position. When non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the GAAP financial measures, are provided. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)” below. The non-GAAP net income measure and related reconciliation provide information useful to investors in understanding the operating performance and trends of Nicolet and also aid investors in comparing Nicolet’s financial performance to the financial performance of peer banks. Management considers non-GAAP financial ratios to be critical metrics with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strengths. While non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a corporation, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

Note: Numbers may not sum due to rounding.

(1)

The adjusted net income measure and related reconciliation provide information useful to investors in understanding the operating performance and trends of Nicolet and also to aid investors in the comparison of Nicolet’s financial performance to the financial performance of peer banks.

(2)

Provision expense for 2023 is attributable to the expected loss on a bank subordinated debt investment, and the provision expense for 2022 is attributable to the Day 2 allowance from the acquisition of Charter Bankshares, Inc.

(3)

The effective tax rate for periods prior to the July 1, 2023, effective date of the Wisconsin tax law change assumed an effective tax rate of 25%, and periods subsequent to the effective date assumed an effective tax rate of 19.5%.

(4)

The adjusted net income reconciliation for first and second quarter 2023 is as originally reported, and has not been restated to reflect the $3 million excess tax expense of those quarters that was subsequently reversed in third quarter 2023 due to the Wisconsin tax law change. Thus, the adjusted net income reconciliation for the quarters of 2023 will not sum to the full year impact.

(5)

The ratios of tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity, and tangible common equity to tangible assets exclude goodwill and other intangibles, net. These financial ratios have been included as they are considered to be critical metrics with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.
