First Quarter 2021 Results
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — April 26, 2021 — Community Bank System, Inc. (NYSE: CBU) reported first quarter 2021 net income of $52.9 million, or $0.97 per fully-diluted share. This compares to $40.1 million of net income, or $0.76 per share for the first quarter of 2020. The $0.21, or 27.6%, increase in earnings per share was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income, a significant decrease in the provision for credit losses and lower operating expenses, offset in part by a decrease in noninterest revenues, and increases in income taxes and fully-diluted shares outstanding. Comparatively, the Company recorded $0.86 in fully-diluted earnings per share for the linked fourth quarter of 2020. Operating earnings per share, which excludes acquisition expenses and gain on debt extinguishment, were $0.97 for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to $0.77 in the first quarter of 2020 and $0.85 in the fourth quarter of 2020.

“The Company generated solid quarterly earnings results in the first quarter of 2021 driven by improving economic conditions, lower credit-related costs, higher revenues and lower operating expenses,” said Mark E. Tryniski, President & CEO. “Our 2020 results were challenged by net interest margin headwinds and higher credit-related costs. As we move into 2021, we are encouraged by an improving interest rate environment and better economic conditions. The Company’s financial services businesses continued to perform well during the quarter as the Company recorded higher revenues in all three lines of business - employee benefit services, insurance services and wealth management versus one year earlier. Furthermore, the Company’s cost containment initiatives and other factors, resulted in a decrease in operating expenses as compared to the same quarter in 2020 despite acquiring Steuben Trust Corporation (“Steuben”) in the second quarter of 2020. The Company’s earnings per share of $0.97 were up $0.21, or 27.6%, over the first quarter of 2020. Net interest income increased $3.9 million, or 4.3%, over the first quarter of 2020 despite a 62 basis point decrease in net interest margin, driven by continued growth in earning assets, lower funding costs and recognition of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) deferred loan fees. In addition, the Company booked a $5.7 million net benefit in the provision for credit losses during the first quarter of 2021, as compared to a $5.6 million provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2020, primarily reflective of improvements in the economic outlook. Financial services business revenues were also $2.3 million, or 5.7%, higher than the first quarter of 2020, while total operating expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 0.4%. These improvements were offset, in part, by a $2.5 million, or 13.7%, decrease in banking-related noninterest revenues, a $2.8 million, or 30.4%, increase in income taxes and a 3.4% increase in fully-diluted average shares outstanding. On the credit front, the Company continued to experience low-levels of net charge-offs. More specifically, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $0.4 million, or 0.02% annualized during the first quarter of 2021, which compares favorably to the first quarter 2020 net charge-offs of $1.6 million, or 0.09% annualized.”

The decrease in the Tier 1 leverage ratio in comparison to December 31, 2020 was the result of ending shareholders' equity, excluding intangibles and other comprehensive income items, decreasing 2.5%, primarily from the redemption of $75.0 million of junior subordinated debt partially offset by net earnings retention, while average assets, excluding intangibles and the market value adjustment on investments, increased 2.9%, primarily due to continued inflows of customer deposits as a result of government stimulus payments and the decrease in the after-tax market value adjustment on the available-for-sale investment portfolio.
The Company's sources of noninterest revenues are of four primary types: 1) general banking services related to loans, including mortgage banking, deposits and other core customer activities typically provided through the branch network and digital banking channels (performed by CBNA); 2) employee benefit trust and benefit plan administration services (performed by BPAS and its subsidiaries); 3) wealth management services, comprised of personal trust services (performed by the trust unit within CBNA), investment products and services (performed by Community Investment Services Inc. ("CISI"), OneGroup Wealth Partners, Inc. and The Carta Group, Inc.) and asset management services (performed by Nottingham Advisors, Inc.); and 4) insurance products and services (performed by OneGroup NY, Inc.).
The Company strives to generate growth in its business portfolio in a manner that adheres to its goals of maintaining strong asset quality and producing profitable margins.
32 The Company's core operating objectives are: (i) optimize the branch network and digital banking delivery systems, primarily through disciplined acquisition strategies and divestitures/consolidations, (ii) build profitable loan and deposit volume using both organic and acquisition strategies, (iii) manage an investment securities portfolio to complement the Company's loan and deposit strategies and optimize interest rate risk, yield and liquidity, (iv) increase the noninterest component of total revenues through development of banking-related fee income, growth in existing financial services business units, and the acquisition of additional financial services and banking businesses, and (v) utilize technology to deliver customer-responsive products and services and improve efficiencies.
As reflected in Table 3, the favorable impacts of the volume increase in interest-earning assets of $22.9 million and the decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of $4.5 million were partially offset by the unfavorable impacts of the decrease in the average yield on earning assets of $22.4 million and the volume increase in interest-bearing liabilities of $1.2 million.
