Westamerica Bancorporation Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., July 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westamerica Bancorporation (Nasdaq: WABC), parent company of Westamerica Bank, generated net income for the second quarter 2024 of $35.5 million and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") of $1.33. Second quarter 2024 results compare to first quarter 2024 net income of $36.4 million and EPS of $1.37.

"Westamerica’s second quarter 2024 results benefited from the Company’s low-cost operating principles. The annualized cost of funding our interest-earning loans, bonds and cash was 0.35 percent for the second quarter 2024. The Company recognized no provision for credit losses due to $73 thousand of net loan recoveries in the second quarter 2024 and $1.6 million in nonperforming loans at June 30, 2024, while the allowance for credit losses on loans was $16.0 million at June 30, 2024. Westamerica operated efficiently, spending 35 percent of its revenue on operating costs in the second quarter 2024”, said Chairman, President and CEO David Payne. “Second quarter 2024 results generated an annualized 14.4 percent return on average common equity. Shareholders were paid a $0.44 per common share dividend during the second quarter 2024,” concluded Payne.

Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis was $64.1 million for the second quarter 2024, compared to $66.1 million for the first quarter 2024. The annualized yield earned on loans, bonds and cash for the second quarter 2024 was 4.50 percent, unchanged from the first quarter 2024. The annualized cost of funding the loan and bond portfolios was 0.35 percent for the second quarter 2024, compared to 0.20 percent for the first quarter 2024.

The Company provided no provision for credit losses in the second quarter 2024 compared to $300 thousand in the first quarter 2024. The Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans was $16.0 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $15.9 million at March 31, 2024.

Noninterest income for the second quarter 2024 totaled $10.5 million compared to $10.1 million for the first quarter 2024; the increase is attributable to higher merchant processing fees and higher debit card fees.

Noninterest expenses were $26.1 million for the second quarter 2024 and the first quarter 2024.

The income tax rate on a fully-taxable equivalent basis was 26.8 percent for the second quarter 2024 compared to 26.9 percent for the first quarter 2024.

Westamerica Bancorporation’s wholly owned subsidiary Westamerica Bank, operates commercial banking and trust offices throughout Northern and Central California.

Footnotes and Abbreviations:
(1) A recovery of a previously charged off loan in the first quarter 2023 resulted in a 1,550 thousand reversal of the allowance for credit loss provision in the first quarter 2023.
(2) Debt Securities Held To Maturity and Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions are net of related reserve for expected credit losses of 1 thousand at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023.
(FTE) Fully Taxable Equivalent. The Company presents its net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis using the current statutory federal tax rate. Management believes the FTE basis is valuable to the reader because the Company’s loan and investment securities portfolios contain a portion of municipal loans and securities that are federally tax exempt. The Company’s tax exempt loans and securities composition may not be similar to that of other banks, therefore in order to reflect the impact of the federally tax exempt loans and securities on the net interest margin and net interest income for comparability with other banks, the Company presents its net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis.
