Cash Flow, Liquidity, Debt and Capital
- Six-month operating cash flow was $227.9 million, compared with $167.4 million in the prior-year period.
- Investing activities used $507.0 million, primarily reflecting purchases of available-for-sale securities and loan growth.
- Financing activities used $783.2 million, driven primarily by decreases in demand and savings deposits, the redemption of $25.8 million of long-term debt, dividends and treasury-stock purchases.
- Cash and cash equivalents declined by $1.06 billion during the first six months to $1.03 billion at June 30, 2023.
- Debt and other funding included $441.8 million of repurchase agreements, $10.8 million of other borrowed funds and $108.9 million of junior subordinated debentures. The company redeemed $25.0 million of junior subordinated debentures in April 2023.
- Management stated that the company and its subsidiary banks met applicable capital requirements. Consolidated CET1, leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 21.32%, 16.29%, 22.03% and 23.28%, respectively.
- Available-for-sale securities had a fair value of $4.67 billion and gross unrealized losses of $618.3 million at June 30, 2023. Management determined that the unrealized losses were not credit-related and recorded no related ACL.
Material Changes Versus Comparable Periods
- Higher interest rates and a larger investment portfolio materially increased interest income and net interest income, but also sharply increased deposit and repurchase-agreement funding costs.
- Non-interest income declined because of a loss on a merchant banking investment in Q2 2023 and because Q2 2022 benefited from gains on branch-property sales.
- The allowance for credit losses increased to 1.86% of loans from 1.70% at year-end 2022. Management increased certain qualitative loss factors due to economic uncertainty and added a large-loan operational-risk factor in Q2 2023.
- Deposits declined $724.7 million from year-end 2022 due to customer activity, government competition for deposits and aggressive competitor pricing. Management allowed some deposits to run off where competitor pricing exceeded levels it was willing to pay.
- Past-due loans increased to $68.5 million from $18.0 million at year-end 2022, while non-accrual loans declined to $42.1 million from $51.6 million. The increase in loans past due 90 days or more was primarily attributed to oil-and-gas-related equipment and production exposure and a commercial-property loan.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased to $482.3 million from $470.5 million, primarily due to additional unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.
Outlook, Management Commentary, Risks and Unusual Items
Management describes economic conditions as uncertain and expects continued sensitivity to interest rates, deposit pricing, financial-market volatility and potential recessionary conditions. The company is asset-sensitive in its interest-rate repricing analysis, which may support net interest income if rates remain elevated but could reduce earnings if rates decline or funding costs rise more rapidly.
- Key risks include deposit outflows, bank-run contagion and reduced depositor confidence following unrelated 2023 bank failures.
- Liquidity depends on deposits, repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit, Federal Home Loan Bank access and the sizable securities portfolio. The filing does not provide a clear unused borrowing-capacity amount.
- Credit risks include commercial real estate, construction and land development, office and multifamily exposure, large loans, oil and gas borrowers, collateral values and higher interest rates.
- Management believes the ACL is adequate, but acknowledges that changes in economic conditions, interest rates, collateral values, regulatory classifications or forecast assumptions could materially change future credit-loss expense.
- The company maintains a stock-repurchase authorization of up to $124 million through March 15, 2024. It repurchased 83,062 shares for $3.4 million during Q2 2023; $124.6 million remained available under the program at June 30, 2023.
- The board declared a semiannual cash dividend of $0.63 per share on July 25, 2023, payable August 25, 2023.
- Management reported no material weaknesses in disclosure controls and no material changes in internal control over financial reporting.
- Management believes material loss from existing legal proceedings is remote, although proceedings remain subject to further developments.
