Northwest Bancshares, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2024 Earnings and Quarterly Dividend

118th consecutive quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share declared.

Columbus, Ohio — April 22, 2024

Northwest Bancshares, Inc., (the “Company”), (NasdaqGS: NWBI) announced net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $29 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. This represents a decrease of $5 million, or 13%, compared to the same quarter last year, when net income was $34 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. The annualized returns on average shareholders’ equity and average assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were 7.57% and 0.81% compared to 9.11% and 0.97% for the same quarter last year.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share payable on May 15, 2024 to shareholders of record as of May 2, 2024. This is the 118th consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend. Based on the market value of the Company’s common stock as of March 31, 2024, this represents an annualized dividend yield of approximately 6.9%.

The Company is announcing its intentions to pursue a limited, strategic repositioning of the securities portfolio to optimize its balance sheet by liquidating lower-yielding securities in an effort to generate additional future earnings. This initiative will be accomplished through the sale of up to 15% of the Company’s investment securities portfolio. The securities losses recognized will be limited to $40 million, equivalent to approximately $30 million after tax. The Company expects a yield pickup of 375-400 basis points from the repositioning and will look to manage the payback period so that it will be approximately three years. The characteristics of investment securities to be sold have an average yield less than 2.00% with a remaining maturity of greater than four years. The proceeds will be used to reduce borrowings in the short term while also opportunistically reinvesting into securities with similar risk, maturity and duration characteristics.

Louis J. Torchio, President and CEO, added, “As part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to enhance future profitability, we have proactively chosen to reposition our securities portfolio. By executing this strategic securities transaction, we will significantly improve the Company’s future earnings potential while simultaneously maintaining our robust capital levels and liquidity. This strategic move aligns with our commitment to long-term financial stability and growth, ensuring that we are well-positioned to capitalize on future opportunities and navigate any potential challenges in the market.”

“In addition, we are proud of our first quarter earnings, which demonstrate our focus and commitment to achieving solid results in a challenging environment. Our strong performance is a testament to our robust business model, dedicated team, and the trust of our customers,” added Mr. Torchio. “Despite industry headwinds, we have emerged stronger by staying true to our core values, prioritizing growth and transformation, and maintaining a customer-centric approach. Our first quarter results provide a solid foundation for continued growth. We are grateful for the support of our employees, customers, partners, and shareholders. Together, we will continue driving success and shape the future of our organization.”

Balance Sheet Highlights

Quarter ended
March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Dollar change Percent change
Average loans receivable $ 11,345,308 10,887,132 458,176 4.2 %
Average investments 2,051,058 2,294,393 (243,335) (10.6) %
Average deposits 11,887,954 11,404,035 483,919 4.2 %
Average borrowed funds 469,697 740,218 (270,521) (36.5) %

•Average loans receivable increased 4% from the quarter ended March 31, 2023 driven by commercial loans, which grew by $553 million as we have continued to build-out our commercial lending verticals.

•Average investments declined 11% from the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decline in investments was driven by the sale of investment securities during the prior year.

•Average deposits grew 4% from the quarter ended March 31, 2023 driven by a $1.404 billion increase in our average time deposits as we continued competitively positioning our deposit products. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in money market balances as customers shifted balances into higher yielding time deposit accounts.

•Compared to the quarter ending March 31, 2023, average borrowings saw a significant 37% reduction, primarily attributable to the strategic pay down of wholesale borrowings. This decrease was made possible by a substantial increase in cash reserves, resulting from a notable rise in the average balance of deposits.

Income Statement Highlights

Quarter ended
March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Dollar change Percent change
Interest income $ 160,239 134,940 25,299 18.7 %
Interest expense 57,001 22,476 34,525 153.6 %
Net interest income $ 103,238 112,464 (9,226) (8.2) %
Net interest margin 3.10 % 3.46 % N/A

Net interest income decreased 8%, and net interest margin decreased to 3.10% from the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in net interest income resulted primarily from:

•A $25 million increase in interest income as cash and marketable securities were redeployed into higher yielding loans, which, along with higher market interest rates, caused the yield on loans to improve to 5.33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 from 4.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

•A $35 million increase in interest expense as the result of higher costs of deposits and borrowings due to the higher interest rate environment and competitive pressure for liquidity. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.28% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 from 0.96% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Quarter ended
March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Dollar change Percent change
Provision for credit losses - loans $ 4,234 4,870 (636) (13.1) %
Provision for credit losses - unfunded commitments (799) 126 (925) (734.1) %
Total provision for credit losses expense $ 3,435 4,996 (1,561) (31.2) %

The provision for credit losses decreased by 31% from the quarter ended March 31, 2023 primarily driven by a decline in our reserves for unfunded commitments in the current period based on the timing of origination and funding of commercial construction loans and lines of credit coupled with improvements in the economic forecasts. Additionally, the Company continued to experience low levels of classified loans with a slight increase to $229 million or 1.99% of total loans at March 31, 2024 from $209 million, or 1.88% of total loans, at March 31, 2023.

Quarter ended
March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Dollar change Percent change
Noninterest income:
Gain on sale of SBA loans $ 873 279 594 212.9 %
Service charges and fees 15,523 13,189 2,334 17.7 %
Trust and other financial services income 7,127 6,449 678 10.5 %
Gain on real estate owned, net 57 108 (51) (47.2) %
Income from bank-owned life insurance 1,502 1,269 233 18.4 %
Mortgage banking income 452 524 (72) (13.7) %
Other operating income 2,429 2,151 278 12.9 %
Total noninterest income $ 27,963 23,969 3,994 16.7 %

Noninterest income increased 17% from the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in service charges and fees driven by deposit-related fees based on customer activity as well as commercial loans fees, gain on sale of SBA loans, and improvements in trust and other financial services income.

Quarter ended
March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023 Dollar change Percent change
Noninterest expense:
Personnel expense $ 51,540 46,604 4,936 10.6 %
Non personnel expense 38,484 40,846 (2,362) (5.8) %
Total noninterest expense $ 90,024 87,450 2,574 2.9 %

Noninterest expense increased 3% from the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This increase primarily resulted from a rise in personnel expense driven by the build-out of the commercial business and related credit, risk management and internal audit support functions over the past year. This was offset by a decrease in non-personnel expense related to a decline in merger, asset disposition and restructuring expense due to the severance and fixed asset charges related to the branch optimization and personnel reduction announced during the fourth quarter of 2022 as well as improvements in marketing expense and professional services expense.

The provision for income taxes decreased by $1.7 million, or 17%, to $8.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 from $10.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 due primarily to lower income before income taxes.
