Signature Bank (Nasdaq: SBNY), a New York-based full-service commercial bank, today announced results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Net income for the 2021 fourth quarter was $272.0 million, or $4.34 diluted earnings per share, versus $173.0 million, or $3.26 diluted earnings per share, for the 2020 fourth quarter. The increase in net income for the 2021 fourth quarter, versus the comparable quarter last year, is primarily the result of an increase in net interest income, fueled by strong average deposit and loan growth, as well as a higher provision for credit losses booked in the fourth quarter of 2020 predominantly due to the effects of COVID-19 on the U.S. economy. Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings were $385.4 million for the 2021 fourth quarter, representing an increase of $123.9 million, or 47.4 percent, compared with $261.5 million for the 2020 fourth quarter.

Net interest income for the 2021 fourth quarter rose $140.9 million, or 35.7 percent, to $535.9 million, when compared with the fourth quarter of 2020. This increase is primarily due to growth in average interest-earning assets. Total assets reached $118.45 billion at December 31, 2021, expanding $44.56 billion, or 60.3 percent, from $73.89 billion at December 31, 2020. Average assets for the 2021 fourth quarter reached $112.73 billion, an increase of $40.92 billion, or 57.0 percent, versus the comparable period a year ago.

Deposits for the 2021 fourth quarter increased $10.57 billion, or 11.1 percent to $106.13 billion, including non-interest bearing deposit growth of $9.98 billion. Non-interest bearing deposits now represent 41.8 percent of total deposits. Overall deposit growth for the last twelve months was 67.6 percent, or $42.82 billion, when compared with deposits at the end of 2020. Average total deposits for 2021 were $85.31 billion, growing $34.75 billion, or 68.7 percent, versus average total deposits of $50.56 billion for 2020.

“2021, which marks Signature Bank’s 20th anniversary, was a sensational year in terms of growth and achievements. All our businesses contributed to the Bank’s stellar performance -- whether it be from our established New York banking franchise and emerging West Coast presence to our newer, nationwide businesses. The performance includes a multitude of accomplishments, such as record growth in deposits of $42.8 billion, which comes on the heels of our 2020 record deposit growth of $22.9 billion. Additionally, growth in non-interest bearing deposits, core loans and investment securities, all reached record levels. It is our founding, client-centric model that drives this robust organic growth, and, when combined with the inherent, best-in-class operating efficiencies of Signature Bank, it results in record revenue growth and record net income. In 2021, we did in fact execute on all we said we would -- and then some. Throughout the 20 years we have been in business, we seldom take time to acknowledge our achievements, such as our recent inclusion in the S&P 500 Index, for which we are very honored. Instead, we remain focused on our bright future and commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation as the financial services industry continues to undergo digital transformation,” explained Signature Bank President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph J. DePaolo.

“Signature Bank’s theme for our 20th year anniversary is ‘Looking Forward. Giving Back.’ We plan to make this our permanent purpose and it will be embedded within our distinguished logo. We’re proud of the many strides made this year and value the meaningful ways our 1,800+ colleagues gave back. As we enter another year, we are saddened by the continued effects the pandemic has had on many of our colleagues and their families. We have not yet regained the normalcy we all can recall but look ahead positively by concentrating our efforts on doing more for one other and the world at large. To quote the legendary Winston Churchill, ‘We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give’. And, we will continue to give,” DePaolo concluded.

Scott A. Shay, Chairman of the Board, added: “It is humbling, amazing and gratifying to all of us who were present at the opening of our doors to have gone from perhaps the smallest bank in the country to a $100 billion enterprise, purely organically. No colleague or client is at Signature Bank because they were acquired from a legacy bank. Rather, they all are here because they want to be. We started the Bank with a set of values centered around a single point of contact, depositor safety and top-notch service. Twenty years later, those same tenets remain at our core."

“We have been innovators since we opened our doors. This pertains to all we have achieved, including both our Metro New York and West Coast expansion, formation of our Specialized Mortgage Services, Fund Banking Division, Venture Banking Group, Digital Assets and more. Lastly, our recent admittance to the S&P 500 is acknowledgment of all the hard work of our colleagues put forth each and every day.”

“Financial technologies are rapidly transforming, and remain at the forefront of the new types of industries this disruption is creating. We understood then – and recognize even more now – the importance of this novel arena because of our abilities to adapt to market disruption. We are committed to evolving to better serve our institutional clients as we continue to adapt within the fast-developing world of digital assets,” Shay concluded.

Capital

The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage, common equity Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based capital ratios were approximately 7.27 percent, 9.58 percent, 10.49 percent, and 11.73 percent, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Each of these ratios is well in excess of regulatory requirements. The Bank’s strong risk-based capital ratios reflect the relatively low risk profile of the Bank’s balance sheet. The Bank’s tangible common equity ratio remains strong at 6.02 percent. The Bank defines tangible common equity ratio as the ratio of tangible common equity to adjusted tangible assets and calculates this ratio by dividing total consolidated common shareholders’ equity by consolidated total assets.

The Bank declared a cash dividend of $0.56 per share, payable on or after February 11, 2022 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on January 28, 2022. The Bank also declared a cash dividend of $12.50 per share payable on or after March 30, 2022 to preferred shareholders of record at the close of business on March 18, 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Bank paid a cash dividend of $0.56 per share to common stockholders of record at the close of business on October 29, 2021. The Bank also paid a cash dividend of $12.50 per share to preferred shareholders of record at the close of business on December 17, 2021.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the 2021 fourth quarter was $535.9 million, up $140.9 million, or 35.7 percent, when compared with the same period last year, primarily due to growth in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets of $111.63 billion for the 2021 fourth quarter represent an increase of $40.79 billion, or 57.6 percent, from the 2020 fourth quarter. Due to the current low interest rate environment, the yield on interest-earning assets for the 2021 fourth quarter fell 59 basis points to 2.16 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of last year.

Average cost of deposits and average cost of funds for the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased 23 and 30 basis points, to 0.19 percent and 0.27 percent, respectively, versus the comparable period a year ago.

Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the 2021 fourth quarter was 1.91 percent versus 2.23 percent reported in the 2020 fourth quarter and 1.88 percent in the 2021 third quarter. Excluding loan prepayment penalties in both quarters, linked quarter core net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis increased 2 basis points to 1.89 percent. The 2021 fourth quarter core net interest margin was negatively affected by 52 basis points due to significant excess cash balances driven by record deposit growth.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Bank’s provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $6.9 million, a decrease of $28.72 million, or 80.7 percent, versus the 2020 fourth quarter. The decrease in the provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter was predominantly attributable to improved macroeconomic conditions compared with the same period last year.

Net charge-offs for the 2021 fourth quarter were $33.7 million, or 0.22 percent of average loans, on an annualized basis, versus $17.3 million, or 0.12 percent, for the 2021 third quarter and net charge-offs of $11.4 million, or 0.10 percent, for the 2020 fourth quarter.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest income for the 2021 fourth quarter was $33.5 million, up $9.3 million when compared with $24.2 million reported in the 2020 fourth quarter. The increase was driven by growth of $6.9 million in fees and service charges.

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $183.9 million, an increase of $26.3 million, or 16.7 percent, versus $157.7 million reported in the 2020 fourth quarter. The increase was predominantly due to a rise of $27.4 million in salaries and benefits from the significant hiring of private client banking teams, and operational support to meet the Bank's growing needs.

The Bank’s efficiency ratio improved to 32.3 percent for the 2021 fourth quarter compared with 37.6 percent for the same period a year ago, and 35.4 percent for the third quarter of 2021.

Loans

Loans, excluding loans held for sale, grew $6.28 billion, or 10.7 percent, during the 2021 fourth quarter to $64.86 billion, versus $58.59 billion at September 30, 2021. Core loans (excluding Paycheck Protection Program loans) grew a record $6.82 billion, or 11.9 percent, during the fourth quarter of 2021 to $64.03 billion, compared with $57.21 billion at September 30, 2021. Average loans, excluding loans held for sale, reached $60.50 billion in the 2021 fourth quarter, growing $5.04 billion, or 9.1 percent, from the 2021 third quarter and $13.11 billion, or 27.7 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2020.

At December 31, 2021, non-accrual loans were $218.3 million, representing 0.34 percent of total loans and 0.18 percent of total assets, compared with non-accrual loans of $165.4 million, or 0.28 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2021 and $120.2 million, or 0.25 percent of total loans, at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021, the ratio of allowance for credit losses for loans and leases to total loans, was 0.73 percent, versus 0.85 percent at September 30, 2021 and 1.04 percent at December 31, 2020. Additionally, the ratio of allowance for credit losses for loans and leases to non-accrual loans, or the coverage ratio, was 217 percent for the 2021 fourth quarter versus 303 percent for the third quarter of 2021 and 423 percent for the 2020 fourth quarter.

COVID-19 Related Loan Modifications

As of December 31, 2021, total non-payment deferrals were $8.3 million, or 0.01 percent of the Bank’s total loan portfolio and primarily related to our multi-family commercial real estate portfolio, compared with non-payment deferrals of $1.31 billion, or 2.7 percent of total loans, at December 31, 2020. The positive trend is the result of the continued economic recovery coming out of the lows of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, the Bank has made other COVID-19 related modifications that have resulted in the receipt of modified principal and interest payments totaling 2.9 percent of the loan book.

(2) Based on the 21 percent U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the periods presented. The tax-equivalent basis is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. This ratio is a metric used by management to evaluate the impact of tax-exempt assets on the Bank's yield on interest-earning assets and net interest margin.

(4) We define tangible common equity as the ratio of total tangible common equity to total tangible assets (the "TCE ratio"). Tangible common equity is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The TCE ratio is a metric used by management to evaluate the adequacy of our capital levels. In addition to tangible common equity, management uses other metrics, such as Tier 1 capital related ratios, to evaluate capital levels.

(5) December 31, 2021 ratios are preliminary.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(unaudited)

This press release contains both financial measures based on GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures where management believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP financial measures assists investors when comparing results period-to-period in a more consistent manner and provides a better measure of Signature Bank's results. These non-GAAP measures include the Bank's (i) tangible common equity ratio, (ii) efficiency ratio, (iii) yield on interest-earning assets, tax-equivalent basis, (iv) core net interest margin, tax-equivalent basis excluding loan prepayment penalty income, (v) pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, and (vi) loans and leases to core loans (excluding Paycheck Protection Program loans). These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures and results. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

The following table presents the tangible common equity ratio calculation:
