Northwest Bancshares, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2024 net income of $33 million, or $0.26 per diluted share


Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $35 million, or $0.27 per diluted share

Net interest margin expands 9 basis points to 3.42%, inclusive of 6bps from an interest recovery

Efficiency ratio improved to 61.8%

121st consecutive quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share declared

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Bancshares, Inc., (the "Company"), (Nasdaq: NWBI) announced net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 of $33 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. This represents an increase of $4 million compared to the same quarter last year, when net income was $29 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, and a decrease of $1 million compared to the prior quarter, 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 December 31, 2024 were 8.20% and 0.91% compared to 7.64% and 0.80% for the same quarter last year and 8.50% and 0.93% from the prior quarter.

Compared to adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $34 million, or $0.26 per diluted share in the prior quarter, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) increased by $1 million to $35 million, or $0.27 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. This increase was driven by an increase in noninterest income which was offset by an increase in provision expense of $17 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to $4.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The adjusted annualized returns on average shareholders' equity (non-GAAP) and average assets (non-GAAP) for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 were 8.71% and 0.97% compared to 8.51% and 0.93% for the prior quarter.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share payable on February 14, 2025 to shareholders of record as of February 3, 2025. This is the 121st consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend. Based on the market value of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2024, this represents an annualized dividend yield of approximately 6.1%.

Remarking on the results, President and CEO Louis J. Torchio said, "We are pleased with our fourth quarter earnings, which demonstrate the success of our business model focused on strategic growth and transformation. Our focus on commercial banking and deposit growth has delivered an increase in average C&I loans and sustainable deposit generation while maintaining a stable cost of funds. We've entered 2025 with significant momentum driven by improvements in our net interest margin and efficiency ratio, thanks to the commitment of our entire team to produce results while managing risks and taking care of our customers.

Notably in the fourth quarter, we were pleased to announce that we entered into an agreement to acquire Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. This transaction marks another milestone in our long-term growth strategy and will place Northwest in the nation's top 100 largest banks. Our combination of companies will be strongly positioned to serve communities that are familiar to Northwest while also expanding into new markets across North Central and Northeastern Pennsylvania. We look forward to continuing our long-standing tradition of customer-focused banking in these new markets and across the entire Northwest footprint.

I am pleased to announce that for the 121st consecutive quarter, we will provide a $0.20 per share dividend, which demonstrates our continued commitment to providing value to our shareholders. Our dedication to financial stability, outstanding performance and sustainable growth remains steadfast this year, as we work to deliver benefits to our shareholders, customers, and communities."

  • Average loans receivable decreased $47 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2023 driven by our personal banking portfolio, which decreased by $448 million as cash flows from this portfolio were reinvested in our commercial portfolios. This was partially offset by a growth in our commercial banking portfolio, which grew by $401 million in total, including a $368 million increase in our commercial and industrial portfolio as we have continued to build-out our commercial lending verticals. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, average loans receivable decreased by $19 million.  Growth was muted in the quarter as we continue to reinvest cash flows from our personal banking portfolio into our commercial banking portfolio and focus on profitability and credit discipline.
  • Average investments declined $43 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and increased $35 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The decline from the prior year was driven by the investment portfolio restructure which occurred in the second quarter as a portion of the proceeds from the investment sale were used to reduce outstanding borrowings. The growth in average investments compared to the third quarter was due to an increase in net portfolio purchases during the quarter to reach a normalized percentage of total assets for liquidity purposes.
  • Average deposits grew $232 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2023, driven by a $224 million increase in our average time deposits as we competitively positioned our deposit products over the last year. 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 third quarter of 2024, average deposits declined $68 million, driven by a $159 million decrease in time deposits due a decline in the need for brokered CDs. This was partially offset by a $69 million increase in our average interest-bearing checking deposits.
  • Average borrowings saw a reduction of $326 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and a $2 million increase compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in average borrowings is primarily attributable to the pay-down of wholesale borrowings made possible by the increase in the average balance of deposits noted above coupled with the proceeds from our investment portfolio restructuring.

Compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023, net interest income increased $8 million and net interest margin increased to 3.42% from 3.16% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. This increase in net interest income resulted primarily from:

  • A $13 million increase in interest income that was the result of cash and marketable securities being redeployed into higher yielding loans. Driven by higher market interest rates, the average yield on loans improved to 5.56% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 from 5.19% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. This increase includes an  interest recovery of $2.1 million on a non-accrual commercial loan payoff. Excluding this interest recovery, the adjusted yield on loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was 5.48% and the adjusted net interest margin was 3.36%.
  • A $5 million increase in interest expense as the result of higher costs of deposits due to the higher interest rate environment and competitive pressure for liquidity. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.27% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 from 2.04% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

Compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, net interest income increased $3 million and net interest margin increased to 3.42% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 from 3.33% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This increase in net interest income resulted from the following:

  • A $4 million decrease in interest expense driven by lower interest expense on deposits as average yield improved compared to the prior quarter to 2.14% from 2.27% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
  • A $1 decrease in interest income,  as lower interest yields were partially offset by an interest recovery of $2.1 million on a non-accrual commercial loan payoff.

During the quarter the Company took several steps to de-risk our loan portfolio and reduce our levels of nonperforming, criticized and classified loans by completing two loan pool sales and transferring certain loans within our Long Term Healthcare portfolio into held for sale as of December 31, 2024. As a result we saw an elevated level of charge-offs during the fourth quarter as the loans noted above were written-down to fair market value prior to sale. Total charge-offs related to the loan sales and transfer to loans held-for-sale was a combined $15 million. Additionally, the Company saw a decrease in classified loans to $272 million, or 2.44% of total loans, at December 31, 2024 from $320 million, or 2.83% of total loans, at September 30, 2024.

The total provision for credit losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $16.6 million primarily driven by the elevated charge-offs discussed above, coupled with growth in our commercial lending portfolio and changes in the economic forecasts in the current period.

Compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, noninterest expense increased due to a $3 million decrease in personnel expense driven by a decline in contract employee expense and employee benefit expenses, which were more than offset by an increase in non-personnel expense of $8 million due to $3 million of merger and  restructuring expenses in the current quarter as well as an increase in processing and other expense due to technology investments and the timing of charitable contributions.
