MANITOWOC, Wis, July 16, 2024 -- Bank First Corporation (NASDAQ: BFC) (“Bank First” or the “Bank”), the holding company for Bank First, N.A., reported net income of $16.1 million, or $1.59 per share, for the second quarter of 2024, compared with net income of $14.1 million, or $1.37 per share, for the prior-year second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Bank First earned $31.5 million, or $3.10 per share, compared to $24.8 million, or $2.46 per share for the same period in 2023. After removing the impact of one-time expenses related to acquisitions as well as gains and losses on sales of securities and other real estate owned (“OREO”), the Bank reported adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $15.7 million, or $1.56 per share, for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $14.6 million, or $1.42 per share, for the prior-year second quarter. For the first six months of 2024 adjusted net income (non-GAAP) totaled $31.1 million, or $3.06 per share, compared to $29.3 million, or $2.92 per share for the same period in 2023.
Operating Results
Net interest income (“NII”) during the second quarter of 2024 was $33.0 million, down $0.3 million from the previous quarter and down $1.3 million from the second quarter of 2023. The impact of net accretion and amortization of purchase accounting related to interest-bearing assets and liabilities from past acquisitions (“purchase accounting”) increased NII by $1.2 million, or $0.09 per share after tax, during the second quarter of 2024, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.09 per share after tax, during the previous quarter and $2.5 million, or $0.18 per share after tax, during the second quarter of 2023.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.63% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 3.62% for the previous quarter and 3.77% for the second quarter of 2023. NII from purchase accounting increased NIM by 0.13%, 0.13% and 0.27% for each of these periods, respectively. While the Bank’s average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities continued to rise during the second quarter of 2024, the momentum of these increases has begun to slow while average rates earned on interest-earning assets continued a steady move higher. The increase in yields on interest-earnings assets was due to fixed-rate loans which matured and were renewed at higher rates during the quarter as well as higher prevailing market rates on recent new loan growth compared to the loan portfolio as a whole. The beneficial impact of the Bank’s high percentage of noninterest-bearing deposits also had a positive impact, adding 89 basis points to NIM during the second quarter of 2024 compared to 84 basis points and 65 basis points for the prior quarter and second quarter of 2023, respectively.
Bank First did not record a provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2024, compared to recording a provision of $0.2 million during the previous quarter. The Bank also did not record a provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2023. Provision expense was $0.2 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to $4.2 million for the same period during 2023. The acquisition of the loan portfolio of Hometown Bancorp, Ltd. (“Hometown”) during the first quarter of 2023 resulted in a day 1 provision for credit losses expense of $3.6 million. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans exceeded currently charged-off loans by $0.8 million through the first six months of 2024, compared to recoveries exceeding charge-offs by $0.1 million through the first six months of 2023. Also, due to a reduction in unfunded loan commitments and an increase in outstanding loans, the Bank moved $0.5 million from its liability for potential credit losses in unfunded commitments to its allowance for credit losses in its loan portfolio. While this move had no impact on the Bank’s profitability for the quarter, it did increase the allowance for potential loan credit losses to correspond with the increase in overall loan portfolio balances.
Noninterest income was $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $4.4 million and $4.6 million for the prior quarter and second quarter of 2023, respectively. Service charge income increased by $0.5 million, or 28.6%, and $0.3 million, or 19.0%, from the prior quarter and prior-year second quarter, respectively, primarily due to a recently negotiated vendor incentive program related to the Bank’s credit and debit card payments processing. Income provided by the Bank’s investment in Ansay & Associates, LLC totaled $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2024, up $0.4 million from both the prior quarter and the prior-year second quarter. Finally, the Bank experienced a $0.3 million positive valuation adjustment to its mortgage servicing rights asset during the second quarter of 2024 which compared favorably to $0.3 million and $0.5 million in negative valuation adjustments during the prior quarter and prior-year second quarter, respectively.
Noninterest expense was $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $20.3 million during the prior quarter and $19.9 million during the second quarter of 2023. Personnel expense remained well-managed, down $0.9 million from the prior quarter, as employee retirements in the first quarter of 2024 allowed certain acquired branches to reach expected long-term staffing levels. Outside service fees were a notable exception to overall lower noninterest expenses during the second quarter of 2024. Included in outside service fees during the most recent quarter was $0.2 million paid to an advisory firm which assisted the Bank in negotiations with a vendor, resulting in projected savings for the Bank of $1.1 million over the next five years. Also included in outside service fees during the most recent quarter was $0.3 million in commissions paid related to sales of former branch buildings which were no longer in use by the Bank. These sales resulted in net gains on sale of other real estate owned totaling $0.5 million during the quarter, comparing favorably to negligible gains on similar sales in the prior quarter and net losses totaling $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Balance Sheet
Total assets were $4.15 billion at June 30, 2024, a $76.0 million decline from December 31, 2023, but a $53.7 million increase from June 30, 2023.
Total loans were $3.43 billion at June 30, 2024, up $85.7 million from December 31, 2023, and up $114.2 million from June 30, 2023.
Total deposits, nearly all of which remain core deposits, were $3.40 billion at June 30, 2024, down $33.0 million from December 31, 2023, and down $5.8 million from June 30, 2023. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits comprised 28.7% of the Bank’s total core deposits at June 30, 2024, compared to 30.6% and 31.8% at December 31 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Like most in the banking industry, the Bank has seen a modest shift in its deposit portfolio from noninterest-bearing deposits to interest-bearing deposits as prevailing interest rates have increased over the last several quarters. Even with this shift, the Bank’s noninterest-bearing deposit percentage remains high and continues to assist its strong financial performance. During the second quarter of 2024 Bank First entered $55.0 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank with maturities ranging from one to three years. The Bank intends to use these borrowings to fund loan demand by our customer base as it has recently outpaced deposit growth.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2024 remained negligible, totaling $11.0 million compared to $9.1 million and $7.2 million at the end of the fourth and second quarters of 2023, respectively. Nonperforming assets to total assets ended the second quarter of 2024 at 0.27%, compared to 0.21% and 0.18% at the end of the fourth and second quarters of 2023, respectively. Including the most recent quarter, the Bank has seen recoveries of previously charged-off loans exceed currently charged-off loans for six consecutive quarters.
Capital Position
Stockholders’ equity totaled $614.6 million at June 30, 2024, a decrease of $5.2 million from the end of 2023 but an increase of $43.7 million from June 30, 2023. Dividends totaling $7.1 million and repurchases of BFC common stock totaling $29.5 million outpaced earnings of $31.5 million through the first six months of 2024, causing the decline in capital. The Bank’s book value per common share totaled $61.27 at June 30, 2024 compared to $59.80 at December 31, 2023 and $54.95 at June 30, 2023. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) totaled $41.42 at June 30, 2024 compared to $40.30 at December 31, 2023 and $35.18 at June 30, 2023.
Dividend Declaration
Bank First’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per common share, payable on October 9, 2024, to shareholders of record as of September 25, 2024. This dividend represents a 14.3% and 33.3% increase from the dividend from the prior quarter and prior-year second quarter, respectively.

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to the timing, benefits, costs, and synergies of the merger with Hometown, statements relating to our projected growth, anticipated future financial performance, financial condition, credit quality and management’s long-term performance goals, and statements relating to the anticipated effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations from expected developments or events, our business, growth and strategies. These statements can generally be identified by the use of the words and phrases “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “goal,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “target,” “aim,” “predict,” “continue,” “seek,” “projection,” and other variations of such words and phrases and similar expressions.
These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon current expectations, estimates, and projections, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond Bank First’s control. The inclusion of these forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by Bank First or any other person that such expectations, estimates, and projections will be achieved. Accordingly, Bank First cautions shareholders and investors that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, (1) business and economic conditions nationally, regionally and in our target markets, particularly in Wisconsin and the geographic areas in which we operate, (2) changes in government interest rate policies, (3) our ability to effectively manage problem credits, (4) the risks associated with Bank First’s pursuit of future acquisitions, (5) Bank First’s ability to successful execute its various business strategies, including its ability to execute on potential acquisition opportunities, and (6) general competitive, economic, political, and market conditions.
This communication contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted earnings return on assets, tangible book value per common share, and tangible common equity to tangible assets. Management believes such measures to be helpful to management, investors and others in understanding Bank First's results of operations or financial position. When non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the GAAP financial measures, are provided. See " Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. The non-GAAP net income measure and related reconciliation provide information useful to investors in understanding the operating performance and trends of Bank First and also aid investors in comparing Bank First's financial performance to the financial performance of peer banks. Management considers non-GAAP financial ratios to be critical metrics with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strengths. While non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a corporation, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.
Further information regarding Bank First and factors which could affect the forward-looking statements contained herein can be found in Bank First's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Many of these factors are beyond Bank First’s ability to control or predict. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, shareholders and investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this press release, and Bank First undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Bank First to predict their occurrence or how they will affect the company.
