Analysis · MSBI · Finance
Earnings nearly doubled year over year and rose 16% sequentially, and the credit story improved on every metric management has been judged on: nonperforming assets fell to 0.86% of assets, net charge-offs dropped to 0.50% of average loans from 1.17%, and the allowance still covers nonperforming loans at 103.68%. The margin expanded to 4.03%, though $1.6 million of that came from a one-time interest recovery on a nonaccrual loan payoff, so the underlying run rate is closer to the prior quarter. The offset is tangible book value: it fell to $19.52 per share from $21.41 as the AOCI loss widened to $122.2 million from $67.9 million, pushing tangible common equity to tangible assets down to 5.97% against management's stated goal of over 7.0%. Deposits shrank $89.8 million, but that was deliberate runoff of savings and brokered balances rather than flight, and the loan-to-deposit ratio of 76.2% leaves ample liquidity.
