Denver, CO – October 27, 2022 – InBankshares, Corp (OTCQX: INBC) (the “Company”), parent company of InBank (“InBank” or the “Bank”), today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The Company reported consolidated net income of $3.1 million or $0.27 per share, for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $2.1 million, or $0.20 per share, for the second quarter of 2022, and $621,000, or $0.08 per share, for the third quarter of 2021.
Net income for the third and second quarters of 2022 include pre-tax acquisition costs of $1.0 million and $876,000, respectively, related to the acquisition of Legacy Bank (“Legacy”), which was completed on April 29, 2022. These acquisition costs reduced earnings by $0.07 per common share for each quarter. The third quarter of 2021 did not include acquisition costs.
Highlights for the quarter:
- Successfully completed the core system conversion of Legacy on July 25, 2022
- Net income was $3.1 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 48.7%, from the linked quarter
- EPS was $0.27, compared to $0.20 in Q2 2022 and $0.08 in Q3 2021
- ROAA was 1.01%, compared to 0.79% in Q2 2022, and 0.35% in Q3 2021
- Net interest margin was 4.56%, compared to 4.17% in Q2 2022, and 3.45% in Q3 2021
- Pre-provision, pre-tax net revenue (“PPNR”) was $5.4 million, compared to $4.2 million for the linked quarter, and $1.2 million for Q3 2021
- Core loans increased $400.5 million, or 101.0%, compared to the same quarter last year and decreased $1.6 million, or 0.2%, compared to the linked quarter
- Nonperforming assets declined $5.7 million, improving the nonperforming assets to total assets ratio to 0.11%
- Total deposits increased $453.5 million, or 75.5%, compared to the same quarter in 2021 and remained flat compared to the linked quarter
Ed Francis, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We are pleased to report record earnings and strong operating results for the third quarter of 2022, building upon the momentum from the second quarter following the acquisition of Legacy. The third quarter represented the first full quarter of combined operations, while the second quarter included two months; however, both quarters were negatively impacted by merger-related expenses. During the third quarter, we completed the Legacy core systems conversion and continued to integrate our operating processes.
“Our record third quarter EPS increased 35% compared to the second quarter of 2022 and more than tripled compared to third quarter of 2021. Our net interest margin continued to expand as we benefited from higher earning asset yields and only modest increases in our cost of funds. We improved our efficiency ratio with the benefit of scale and operating leverage as our revenue growth outpaced our noninterest expense growth. In addition, we significantly improved our credit metrics during the quarter by successfully working out $5.5 million in nonperforming loans and disposing of the remainder of our OREO properties, which improved our nonperforming asset ratio by 47 basis points.
“After strong organic loan and deposit growth in the prior four quarters, the loan and deposit growth slowed in the third quarter of 2022 due to our focus on integrating Legacy’s customers and the initial impact of rising market interest rates. With interest rates continuing to rise and the potential that the US economy may also experience a significant slowdown in economic activity, we believe the Company is well positioned given our strong net interest margin, improved asset quality metrics, and liquidity metrics – 75.2% loan to deposit ratio, 42.8% noninterest-bearing deposits, no FHLB borrowings or brokered deposits as of September 30, 2022.
We believe we can operate within our conservative risk management framework, while continuing to grow market share,” Mr. Francis concluded.
Results of Operations
Net income for the third quarter of 2022 increased $1.0 million, or $0.07 per share, to $3.1 million, compared to the linked quarter, and increased $2.5 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to the same quarter last year. The increases over the linked quarter and the same quarter last year were significantly impacted by the acquisition of Legacy during the second quarter 2022. The third quarter of 2022 included three months of combined operations, compared to two months included in the second quarter of 2022. The acquisition resulted in favorable variances in net interest income and noninterest income, which were partially offset by unfavorable variances in provision for loan loss, noninterest expense, and income tax expense. During the third quarter of 2022, the Bank sold a $4.5 million nonaccrual real estate loan, resulting in a recognition of loan interest and fee income of $983,000. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was
$5.7 million, or $0.56 per share, representing an increase of $3.6 million, or 175.7%, compared to $2.1 million, or $0.27 per share, for the same period in 2021.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 was $13.2 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 26.8%, over the linked quarter, and an increase of $7.3 million, or 124.6%, over the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of the impact of the Legacy acquisition and, the loan interest and fee recovery described above.
- Interest income increased $3.0 million, or 27.0%, to $14.1 million during the third quarter of 2022, compared to $11.1 million during the linked quarter, and increased $7.9 million, or 126.5%, compared to $6.2 million during the same quarter last year.
o The increase from the linked quarter was primarily due to an increase of $146.1 million in average interest earning assets (both loans and investments) due to the Legacy acquisition as well as higher loan and investment yields.
o The third quarter of 2022 included the $983,000 recovery of loan interest and fee income described above and the second quarter of 2022 included a one-time recognition of $766,000 in prior period charged-off loan interest income collected on purchase credit impaired loans.
o The increase compared to the same quarter last year was primarily due to an increase of $471.9 million increase in average interest earning assets and higher yields on investments and core loans, partially offset by a decrease in PPP loan interest and fee income of $468,000.
o Accretion of the discount on acquired loans was $706,000 in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $436,000 in the linked quarter, and $150,000 in the third quarter of 2021.
- Interest expense was $857,000 during the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $204,000, or 31.2%, compared to $653,000 during the linked quarter, and an increase of $528,000, or 160.5% compared to $329,000 during the same quarter last year.
o The increase over the linked quarter was primarily due to an $65.5 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits and a three-basis point increase in the cost of funds.
o The increase from the same quarter last year was due to an increase of $277.1 million in average interest-bearing deposits and a nine-basis point increase in the cost of funds. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company issued $20 million of subordinated debentures.
Net interest margin (NIM), expressed as net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets, was 4.56% during the third quarter of 2022, compared to 4.17% during the linked quarter, and 3.45% during the same quarter last year. Adjusting the third quarter of 2022 for the one-time loan interest recognition described above, NIM in the third quarter of 2022 would have been 4.22%. The NIM expansion compared to the linked quarter was primarily the result of increases in yields on all earning-assets due to higher market interest rates. Margin expansion from the same quarter a year ago was primarily attributable to an increase in loan and investment balances as a percentage of earning assets.
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2022 was $1.1 million, an increase of $154,000, or 15.9%, over the linked quarter, and an increase of $26,000, or 2.4%, from the same quarter last year. The increase over the linked quarter was primarily due to an increase of $118,000 in service charge income and fees, a
$39,000 increase in gains on sale of SBA loans, and a $39,000 increase in mortgage fee income, partially offset by a decrease of $26,000 in other noninterest income and a $16,000 loss on sale of other real estate (“OREO”). The increase from the same quarter last year was due to a $423,000 increase in service charge income and fees, partially offset by a $208,000 decrease in other noninterest income, a $169,000 decrease in gain on sales of investment securities, SBA loans, and OREO, and a $20,000 decrease in mortgage income. The decrease in other noninterest income compared to the same quarter last year was primarily due to a one-time restitution payment from one of the Bank’s vendors received in the third quarter of 2021.
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2022 was $9.9 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 22.3%, when compared to the linked quarter, and an increase of $4.1 million, or 69.9%, from the same quarter last year. The increase over the linked quarter was primarily due to increases in non-core merger and acquisition expense of $138,000 and intangible amortization of $113,000 in connection with the Legacy transaction, plus increases of $1.6 million in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and software, and other expenses combined, primarily due to the addition of Legacy’s operating expenses for a full quarter. The increase over the same quarter last year was also primarily due to increases in non-core merger and acquisition expense of $1.0 million and intangible amortization of $321,000 primarily in connection with the Legacy transaction, and $2.7 million across most categories of operating expenses due to the Legacy acquisition and organic growth. Full-time equivalent employees were 168 at September 30, 2022, compared to 166 at June 30, 2022 and 112 at September 30, 2021.
The Company’s core efficiency ratio, which excludes gain on sales of securities and merger and acquisition expense, was 62.0% in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 63.4% in the linked quarter and 85.1% in the third quarter of 2021.

Noninterest-bearing deposits grew by 10.0% from the linked quarter, and increased by 83.8% from September 30, 2021, representing 42.8% of total deposits at September 30, 2022. The fair value of the deposits acquired as part of the Legacy transaction was $417.2 million.

- Excluding PPP loans, core loans were $797.0 million at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 0.2% during the quarter primarily due to the sale of a nonaccrual real estate loan of $4.5 million, and increased $400.5 million, or 101.0%, from September 30, 2021.
- The fair value of the loans acquired as part of the Legacy transaction was $295.9 million.
- Organic net loan growth, excluding PPP and acquired loans, totaled $104.7 million or 26.4% compared to the same quarter last year.
Subordinated debentures and other borrowings, combined, were $27.5 million on September 30, 2022, and June 30, 2022, and increased $12.6 million compared to the same quarter in the prior year. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a $5 million revolving line of credit, and the Company had $3.0 million outstanding on the line as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022.
Compared to the same quarter last year, subordinated debentures balances increased $19.6 million primarily due to the completion of a private placement in the fourth quarter of 2021 of $20 million of 3.75% Fixed-to- Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031. The Bank decreased its short-term Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings to zero from $10.0 million in the same quarter last year, which was partially offset by the $3.0 million increase in the Company’s previously noted line of credit.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets, which include nonperforming loans and OREO, decreased $5.7 million to $1.3 million, or 0.11% of total assets at September 30, 2022, compared to $7.0 million, or 0.58% of total assets at June 30, 2022, and increased $609,000 compared to $691,000, or 0.10% of total assets at September 30, 2021.

The decrease in nonperforming loans during the quarter was primarily due to the sale of a single $4.5 million real estate loan during the third quarter 2022. OREO balances decreased $200,000 during the third quarter due to the sale of the Bank’s remaining OREO property during the third quarter.
Loans delinquent (past due) 30-89 days were $1.2 million, or 0.15% of total loans HFI at September 30, 2022, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.14% of total loans HFI at June 30, 2022.
The allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) totaled $4.8 million, or 0.60% of total loans HFI at September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company also had $8.3 million in purchase discounts on loans acquired in the acquisition of Legacy in the second quarter of 2022 and the Bank in 2018. When combined, the purchase discounts and ALLL represented 1.62% of total loans HFI plus purchase discounts at the end of the quarter. Provision for loan losses expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, totaled $525,000, compared to $497,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and $375,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The Company recorded $55,000 of net recoveries for the third quarter of 2022 primarily related to prior period accrued interest on the nonperforming real estate loan described above.
Capital
Capital ratios of the Company and InBank continue to exceed the “well-capitalized” regulatory thresholds. At September 30, 2022, InBank’s leverage ratio was 9.44% and the total risk-based capital ratio was 11.45%.
At September 30, 2022, the Company had tangible common equity of $80.0 million and tangible book value of $6.86 per share, with 11,671,815 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the same date. Tangible common equity increased $567,000 compared to June 30, 2022, due to an increase in surplus and retained earnings of $3.2 million, partially offset by a $3.1 million decline in accumulated other comprehensive income on investment securities due to rising market interest rates. During the third quarter 2022, the Bank transferred $39.0 million par value of investment securities from available-for-sale to held-to- maturity designation. The Company’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.76% at September 30, 2022. The Company and the Bank paid no dividends during the third quarter of 2022.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial measures included in this press release are not measures of financial performance recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include: (i) tangible common equity, (ii) tangible assets, (iii) tangible common equity to tangible assets, (iv) tangible book value per share, (v) return on average tangible common equity, (vi) pre-provision pre-tax net revenue, or PPNR, (vii) core efficiency ratio, (viii) adjusted return on average assets excluding M&A, and (ix) core loans. Tangible common equity is computed by subtracting goodwill and core deposit intangibles from total stockholders’ equity. Tangible assets is computed by subtracting goodwill and core deposit intangibles from total assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is computed by dividing tangible common equity by tangible assets. Tangible book value per share is computed by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding. Return on average tangible common equity is computed by dividing net income, less intangible amortization, tax effected, by average stockholders’ equity less average intangible assets. PPNR is computed by adding provision for loan losses expense, merger and acquisition expense, and income tax expense to net income. Core efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense, less merger and acquisition expense, by the sum of noninterest income exclusive of gain/loss on sale of securities and net interest income. Adjusted return on average assets excluding M&A is computed by dividing net income, less merger and acquisition expense, tax effected, by average assets. Core loans is computed by subtracting PPP loans from total loans held for investment. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial position and performance. These non- GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies.
