Ameris Bancorp (NYSE: ABCB) (the “Company”) today reported net income of $99.2 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared with $80.1 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Excluding the gain on sale of MSRs and natural disaster expenses, adjusted net income(1) was $95.2 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared with $80.1 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

For the year-to-date period ending September 30, 2024, the Company reported net income of $264.3 million, or $3.83 per diluted share, compared with $203.2 million, or $2.94 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023. The year-to-date period ending September 30, 2024 included a provision for credit losses of $46.0 million, compared with $119.7 million for the same period in 2023.

Commenting on the Company’s results, Palmer Proctor, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “This quarter's strong financial performance reflects our core franchise value, disciplined focus on enhancing shareholder returns and commitment to our customers. We achieved core deposit growth, sold additional MSRs at a gain, reduced GNMA nonaccrual exposure and grew tangible book value by over 19% annualized this quarter. We are building capital at a strong pace, with our TCE ratio now over 10% and CET1 ratio at 12%. We remain dedicated to the Southeast markets, which continue to grow and thrive."

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis (TE) was $215.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $2.1 million, or 1.0%, from last quarter and $6.3 million, or 3.0%, compared with the third quarter of 2023. The Company's net interest margin was 3.51% for the third quarter of 2024, down from 3.58% reported for the second quarter of 2024 and from 3.54% reported for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest margin this quarter compared with the second quarter of 2024 is primarily attributable to decreased yield on securities during the period, in addition to an increase in funding costs. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recognized approximately $2.3 million, or 0.04% to margin, related to positive inflation adjustments on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities and accelerated accretion on an early bond payoff. The decrease in net interest margin compared with the same period in 2023 is due to the effect of overall increases in deposit costs over the last year, partially offset by increased yields on earning assets.

Yields on earning assets decreased five basis points during the quarter to 5.81%, compared with 5.86% in the second quarter of 2024. This decrease is primarily related to the $2.3 million in bond income recognized in the second quarter of 2024 noted above. Yields on earning assets increased 19 basis points compared with 5.62% for the third quarter of 2023. Yields on loans increased to 6.01% during the third quarter of 2024, compared with 6.00% for the second quarter of 2024 and 5.81% for the third quarter of 2023.

The Company’s total cost of funds was 2.50% in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of two and 26 basis points compared with the second quarter of 2024 and third quarter of 2023, respectively. Deposit costs increased only seven basis points during the third quarter of 2024 to 2.39%, compared with 2.32% in the second quarter of 2024. Costs of interest-bearing deposits increased during the quarter from 3.37% in the second quarter of 2024 to 3.44% in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting an increase in money market and brokered deposit account balances and costs.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $19.0 million, or 21.4%, in the third quarter of 2024 to $69.7 million, compared with $88.7 million for the second quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of decreased gain on securities and mortgage revenue. The second quarter of 2024 included a gain on conversion of Visa Class B stock of $12.6 million, compared with no such gain in the third quarter of 2024. Mortgage banking activity decreased by $8.5 million, or 18.2%, to $37.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared with $46.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. Gain on sale spreads decreased to 2.17% in the third quarter of 2024 from 2.45% for the second quarter of 2024. Total production in the retail mortgage division decreased $170.1 million, or 12.8%, to $1.16 billion in the third quarter of 2024, compared with $1.33 billion for the second quarter of 2024. The retail mortgage open pipeline was $813.7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2024, compared with $802.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. Included in other noninterest income in the third quarter of 2024 was a $5.2 million gain from the sale of mortgage servicing rights, compared with $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased $3.6 million, or 2.3%, to $151.8 million during the third quarter of 2024, compared with $155.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded natural disaster expenses of $150,000. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a reduction in FDIC special assessment expense of $895,000. Excluding these items, adjusted expenses(1) decreased approximately $4.6 million, or 3.0%, to $151.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 from $156.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in adjusted expenses(1) resulted from a $1.2 million decrease in loan servicing expenses as a result of the sale of mortgage servicing rights beginning in the second quarter of 2024. Also contributing to the decrease in adjusted expenses were $1.0 million of additional deferred origination costs in our equipment finance division and a reduction of $1.0 million in problem loan expenses. Management continues to focus on operating efficiency, and the adjusted efficiency ratio(1) improved to 54.25% in the third quarter of 2024, compared with 55.00% in the second quarter of 2024.

Income Tax Expense

The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 21.2%, compared with 28.2% for the second quarter of 2024. Tax expense during the second quarter of 2024 included a $4.8 million expense related to the termination of certain BOLI policies.

Balance Sheet Trends

Total assets at September 30, 2024 were $26.40 billion, compared with $25.20 billion at December 31, 2023. Debt securities available-for-sale increased to $1.44 billion, compared with $1.40 billion at December 31, 2023. Loans, net of unearned income, increased $695.7 million, or 4.6% annualized, to $20.96 billion at September 30, 2024, compared with $20.27 billion at December 31, 2023. Loans held for sale increased to $553.4 million at September 30, 2024 from $281.3 million at December 31, 2023.

At September 30, 2024, total deposits amounted to $21.88 billion, compared with $20.71 billion at December 31, 2023. During the third quarter of 2024, deposits grew $435.1 million, with noninterest bearing accounts increasing $21.1 million, money market accounts increasing $83.6 million, retail CDs increasing $60.4 million and brokered CDs increasing $403.7 million, with such increases offset in part by a $12.6 million decrease in savings accounts and a 121.0 million decrease in interest bearing demand accounts. Noninterest bearing accounts as a percentage of total deposits was minimally changed, such that at September 30, 2024, noninterest bearing deposit accounts represented $6.67 billion, or 30.5% of total deposits, compared with $6.49 billion, or 31.3% of total deposits, at December 31, 2023.

Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2024 totaled $3.68 billion, an increase of $254.6 million, or 7.4%, from December 31, 2023. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily the result of earnings of $264.3 million during the first nine months of 2024, partially offset by dividends declared, share repurchases and an improvement in other comprehensive loss of $20.2 million resulting from changes in interest rates on the Company's investment portfolio. Tangible book value per share(1) increased $3.87 per share, or 15.4% annualized, during the first nine months of 2024 to $37.51 at September 30, 2024. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets was 10.24% at September 30, 2024, compared with 9.64% at the end of 2023. The Company had no repurchases of its shares in the quarter ending September 30, 2024.

Credit Quality

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $6.1 million, keeping the allowance for credit losses at 1.60% of loans, compared with a provision of $18.8 million in the second quarter of 2024. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets improved 30 basis points to 0.44% during the quarter. Approximately $8.2 million, or 7.0%, of the nonperforming assets at September 30, 2024 were GNMA-guaranteed mortgage loans, which have minimal loss exposure. Excluding these government-guaranteed loans, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets increased two basis points to 0.41% at September 30, 2024, compared with 0.39% at the second quarter of 2024. The Company sold a pool of MSRs during the third quarter of 2024 which reduced exposure to nonperforming GNMA-guaranteed mortgage loans by $85.4 million. The net charge-off ratio improved to 15 basis points for the third quarter of 2024, from 18 basis points in the second quarter of 2024.

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 $8.3 million of its outstanding common stock in the past 12 months.
