Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Profitability: Net income attributable to First Capital increased to $2.83 million in Q2 2024 from $2.73 million in Q2 2023. However, YTD net income decreased to $5.78 million from $6.54 million in the prior year.
• Interest Income/Expense: Total interest income rose $1.6 million QoQ (vs. prior year) due to higher yields on loans (5.99% vs. 5.56%). Interest expense increased $1.3 million due to higher costs of interest-bearing liabilities (1.71% vs. 1.12%).
• Net Interest Margin (NIM): The tax-equivalent NIM improved to 3.15% in Q2 2024 from 3.06% in Q2 2023, but declined slightly on a YTD basis to 3.15% from 3.22%.
• Asset Growth: Total assets increased $5.7 million to $1.16 billion. Net loans grew $15.6 million, driven by increases in commercial real estate and construction loans, partially offset by declines in commercial business loans.
• Deposit Trends: Total deposits decreased $11.0 million to $1.01 billion, reflecting outflows in checking and savings accounts partially offset by growth in time deposits.
• Provision for Credit Losses: The provision increased to $360,000 in Q2 2024 from $350,000 in Q2 2023, attributed to loan growth and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Liquidity Strategy: The company utilized the Federal Reserve's Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP), increasing borrowings to $33.6 million at period end (from $21.5 million at year-end 2023) to fund asset growth and manage liquidity. The BTFP ceased making new loans in March 2024.
• Capital Position: The subsidiary bank opted into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) framework, reporting a ratio of 10.44% at June 30, 2024, exceeding the 9% minimum requirement. The bank is considered "well-capitalized."
• Investment Portfolio: Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities increased to $33.5 million due to rising interest rates, resulting in a $1.6 million reduction in equity via Other Comprehensive Loss.
• Nonperforming Assets: Total nonperforming loans increased to $4.12 million from $1.75 million at year-end 2023, primarily due to a $2.0 million commercial business loan modification.
• Regulatory Risk: The company dissolved its captive insurance subsidiary in December 2023 due to potential tax liabilities from proposed IRS regulations. No material tax liability has been estimated as final regulations are pending.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Deposit Stability: Verify the sustainability of deposit outflows in checking and savings accounts amidst high interest rate competition.
• Nonperforming Loans: Review the specific details of the $2.0 million commercial business loan modification and its impact on future charge-offs.
• Interest Rate Sensitivity: Assess the impact of the BTFP borrowing ($33.6M) on future interest expense as these loans mature, given the program is closed to new loans.
• Securities Portfolio: Monitor the unrealized losses on the $414 million available-for-sale securities portfolio and potential impacts on capital if sales are required.
• Expense Management: Track the trend in professional fees and compensation expenses, which drove the increase in noninterest expenses.
