FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Horizon Bancorp, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 EPS of $0.55

Strong Loan Growth Continues to Offset Non–interest Income and Expense Headwinds

Michigan City, Indiana, October 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – (NASDAQ GS: HBNC) – Horizon Bancorp, Inc. (“Horizon” or the “Company”) announced its unaudited financial results for the three– and nine–months ending September 30, 2022.

“We are proud of the performance achieved by our business banking and consumer lending teams who delivered annualized loan growth of 7.8% in the third quarter, excluding PPP loans and sold commercial participation loans,” Chairman and CEO Craig M. Dwight said. “This continued strong loan growth led to the increase in net interest income and substantially offset headwinds from lower residential mortgage lending activity and lower wealth management fees, as well as the increase in cost of funds related to rapidly rising interest rates. While the current economic environment remains challenged by rising inflation and supply chain disruption, we remain focused on positioning ourselves to continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We believe our investments in talent to enhance our capabilities and prepare for the future support our disciplined growth trajectory, and with the benefit of our balance sheet strength and solid asset quality metrics, will continue to elevate our performance through the end of 2022 and into 2023.”

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

•Return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 1.29% year–to–date and 1.24% for the third quarter.

•Return on average tangible equity was 18.73% year–to–date and 18.71% for the third quarter.

•Total loans, excluding Federal Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans and sold commercial participation loans, grew by an annualized rate of 14.5% year–to–date and an annualized rate of 7.8% quarter over quarter.

•Commercial loans, excluding PPP loans and sold commercial participation loans, grew by an annualized rate of 13.8% year–to–date and an annualized rate of 7.2% quarter over quarter to a record $2.35 billion.

•Consumer loans grew by an annualized rate of 31.7% year–to–date and an annualized rate of 23.9% quarter over quarter to a record $899.9 million at period end.

•Asset quality remains solid with total loan delinquency at 0.12% of total loans, net charge–offs to average loans of 0.00% and a reversal of credit loss expense during the quarter.

•Net interest income increased by $387,000 to $53.4 million during the third quarter compared to $53.0 million for the previous quarter.

•Reported net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.13% and adjusted NIM was 3.08%, with reported NIM decreasing by six basis points and adjusted NIM decreasing by four basis points from the second quarter of 2022. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Net Interest Margin” table below for the definition of this non–GAAP calculation of adjusted NIM.)

Horizon Bancorp, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 EPS of $0.55

•Non–interest income is down $2.2 million for the quarter due to lower residential mortgage loan volume, resulting in lower gain on sale income and from lower wealth management fees related to year–to–date declines in equity and bond markets.

•Non-interest expense was $38.4 million in the quarter, or 1.99% of average assets on an annualized basis, compared to $36.4 million, or 1.95%, in the second quarter of 2022. Year–to–date non–interest expense continues to be well managed at $111.3 million, or 1.99% of average assets on an annualized basis which is below our target of 2.00% of average assets.

•The effective tax rate for the third quarter dropped to 7.8% due to the recognition of solar tax credits as projects were put into service during the quarter.

•Net income totaled $23.8 million, down 4.2% from the linked quarter and up 3.3% from the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.55 was down from $0.57 for the second quarter of 2022 and up from $0.52 for the third quarter of 2021.

•Asset sensitivity decreased in the quarter compared to the previous quarter end, as deposit betas increased with rising rates. Deposit beta is defined as the change in deposit costs as a percentage of the change in Fed Funds over a particular period. Current estimates for parallel rate shocks to the balance sheet, at 100 basis points and 200 basis points, decrease net interest income by approximately $3.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively.

•Deposit betas increased to 23% on total interest bearing deposits in the third quarter compared to a 3% beta during the previous quarter.

•During the third quarter of 2022, the continued steepening of the yield curve resulted in unrealized losses on available for sale investments of $161.8 million compared to unrealized losses of $122.0 million at June 30, 2022. The impact to the tangible capital ratio was a decrease of 3.55% from 6.48% at June 30, 2022 to 6.25% at September 30, 2022.

•The Bank’s capital position is still robust with leverage and risk based capital ratios of 8.84% and 13.65%, respectively. The annualized dividend yield was 3.56% as of September 30, 2022.

Net interest margin	3.13		%	3.19		%	3.17		%
Adjusted net interest margin	3.08		%	3.12		%	3.12		%

Mr. Dwight continued, “Net interest income increased by $387,000 for the quarter as a result of Horizon’s solid loan growth. To support this level of growth, we were required to increase borrowings and that impacted the adjusted net interest margin by four basis points during the quarter. Overall cost of funds was contained at 0.69% providing a strong spread for new loans coming on the books. Competitive pressure on deposit pricing is starting to accelerate as we see several smaller banks and credit unions aggressively seeking lower cost deposit funding. Horizon’s deposit betas were 23% for the third quarter and in line with our expectations of approximately 35%; however additional pressure is expected as the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will likely continue to rapidly increase rates over the next several months.”

“Our results this quarter were positively impacted by the significant progress towards achieving our goal of an annualized non–interest expense to average assets ratio of less than 2.00%, at 1.99% for the period ended September 30, 2022," Mr. Dwight continued. “We remain disciplined and focused on expense management, a critical component of our strategy given the economic uncertainty and rise in inflation. However, we are confident in our ability to continue to reduce our annualized target to be less than 2.00%. We expect the higher expense run rate we incurred during the third quarter to be greatly reduced starting in Q1 2023. In addition, in 2023 we expect to see the benefit from a full year of seven additional branch closings and their related cost savings.”

Income Statement Highlights

Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $23.8 million, or $0.55 diluted earnings per share, compared to $24.9 million, or $0.57, for the linked quarter and $23.1 million, or $0.52, for the prior year period.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $23.8 million, or $0.55 diluted earnings per share, compared to $24.2 million, or $0.56, for the linked quarter and $23.0 million, or $0.52, for the prior year period. Adjusted net income, which is not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is a measure that Horizon uses to provide a greater understanding of operating profitability. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Net Income” table below.)

The improvement in net income for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same prior year period reflects an increase in net interest income of $6.9 million, a decrease in credit loss expense of $1.7 million and a decrease in income tax expense of $2.0 million. These results are offset by a decrease in non–interest income of $5.9 million and an increase in non–interest expense of $4.0 million.

Horizon Bancorp, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 EPS of $0.55

Net income for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2022 reflects expansion of net interest income of $387,000, improvement in credit loss expense of $841,000 and a decrease of income tax expense of $2.0 million. These items were offset by lower non–interest income of $2.2 million and an increase in non–interest expense of $2.0 million.

Third quarter 2022 income from the gain on sale of mortgage loans totaled $1.4 million, down from $2.5 million in the linked quarter and down from $4.1 million in the prior year period.

Certain revenue streams that generated higher income in the prior year quarter were replaced in the most recent quarter with earning assets that have higher margins. Income from PPP lending, gain on sale of mortgage loans and mortgage servicing income net of impairment totaled $7.9 million during the prior year quarter. For the quarter ending September 30, 2022, the income from those same revenue streams totaled $1.8 million. The ability to replace this income and increase overall gross income in the third quarter was attributed to the strategies management implemented to focus on higher earning assets.

Non–interest expense of $38.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 reflected a $656,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $429,000 increase in loan expense, a $370,000 increase in outside services and consultants, a $292,000 increase in other expense and a $269,000 increase in professional fees from the linked quarter.

Pre–tax, pre–provision net income totaled $25.2 million, down 13.2% from the linked quarter and 10.6% from the prior year period. This non–GAAP financial measure is utilized by many banks to provide a greater understanding of pre–tax profitability before the impact of credit loss expense. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Pre–Tax, Pre–Provision Net Income” table below.) Horizon recorded a provision release of $601,000 in the quarter, a provision expense of $240,000 in the linked quarter, and a provision expense of $1.1 million in the prior year period.

Net Interest Margin

Horizon’s net interest margin decreased to 3.13% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 3.19% for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in net interest margin reflects the impact of the increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities of 35 basis points which was partially offset by the increase in the yield on interest earning assets of 22 basis points. Interest income from acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments was $317,000 lower during the third quarter of 2022 when compared to the second quarter of 2022.

Net interest margin decreased to 3.13% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 3.17% for the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in net interest margin reflects the impact of the increased cost of interest bearing liabilities of 31 basis points which was partially offset by the increase in the yield on interest earning assets of 22 basis points.

Adjusted net interest margin, which excludes acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments, was 3.08% for the third quarter of 2021, compared to 3.12% for the linked quarter and 3.12% for the third quarter of 2021. Interest income from acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments was $906,000, $1.2 million and $875,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Lending Activity

Total loan balances increased to $4.01 billion, or $3.96 billion excluding PPP loans and sold commercial participation loans, on September 30, 2022 when compared to $3.94 billion, or $3.89 billion excluding PPP loans and sold commercial participation loans, on June 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, commercial loans, excluding PPP loans and sold commercial participation loans, increased $41.8 million, consumer loans increased $51.1 million, and residential mortgage loans increased $26.3 million, offset by decreases in mortgage warehouse loans of $42.8 million, PPP loans of $2.0 million and loans held for sale of $1.1 million. PPP loan income was $26,000, $198,000 and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Total mortgage origination volume for the third quarter of 2022, including loans placed into the portfolio, totaled $110.9 million, representing a decrease of 3.7% from second quarter 2022 levels, and a decrease of 23.2% from the third quarter of 2021. As a percentage of total mortgage loan originations, 6% of the volume was from refinancings and 94% was from loans for new home purchases during the third quarter of 2022. Total origination volume of mortgage loans sold to the secondary market totaled $50.2 million, representing a decrease of 25.4% from the second quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 51.3% from the third quarter of 2021.

Gain on sale of mortgage loans and mortgage warehousing income was 3.8% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 5.6% for the linked quarter and 9.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Total non–interest expense was $4.0 million higher in the third quarter of 2022 when compared to the third quarter of 2021 primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $1.7 million and an increase in outside services and consultants expense of $525,000, as well as increases in net occupancy expenses due to additional employees hired and branch locations acquired as a result of the 2021 branch acquisition, FDIC insurance expense, other expense due to the amortization of the intangible assets from the solar tax credits and other losses.

Annualized non–interest expense as a percent of average assets was 1.99%, 1.95% and 2.09% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Annualized non–interest expense, excluding acquisition expenses, as a percent of average assets was 1.99%, 1.95% and 2.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Horizon Bancorp, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 EPS of $0.55

Total non–interest expense was $11.4 million higher in the first nine months of 2022 when compared to the first nine months of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits of $6.8 million due to additional employees hired as a result of the 2021 branch acquisition, higher other expense of $1.9 million, higher outside services and consultants expense of $1.6 million, and was partially offset by a decrease of $606,000 in loan expense and a decrease of $505,000 in professional fees.

Annualized non–interest expense as a percent of average assets was 1.99% for the first nine months of 2022 compared to 2.16% for the first nine months of 2021. Annualized non–interest expense, excluding acquisition expenses, as a percent of average assets was 1.99% and 2.14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. (See the “Non–GAAP Calculation and Reconciliation of Efficiency Ratio and Adjusted Efficiency Ratio” table below for these non–GAAP calculations.)

Income tax expense totaled $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $2.0 million when compared to the second quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $2.0 million when compared to the third quarter of 2021 due to the recognition of solar tax credits as projects were put into service during the quarter, which reduced the effective tax rate to 7.8%.

Income tax expense totaled $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.7 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Capital

The capital resources of the Company and the Bank exceeded regulatory capital ratios for “well capitalized” banks at September 30, 2022. Stockholders’ equity totaled $645.0 million at September 30, 2022 and the ratio of average stockholders’ equity to average assets was 9.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Tangible book value per common share (“TBVPS”) declined $1.76 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $10.82, as unrealized net losses on securities available for sale (“AFS”) of $3.10 per common share, reduced accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by $135.0 million in the first nine months of this year.

The following table presents the actual regulatory capital dollar amounts and ratios of the Company and the Bank as of September 30, 2022.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release may contain forward–looking statements regarding the financial performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies of Horizon Bancorp, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Horizon”). For these statements, Horizon claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward–looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this press release should be considered in conjunction with the other information available about Horizon, including the information in the filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Forward–looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward–looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance.

Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward–looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include: changes in the level and volatility of interest rates, changes in spreads on earning assets and changes in interest bearing liabilities; increased interest rate sensitivity; continuing increases in inflation; loss of key Horizon personnel; increases in disintermediation; potential loss of fee income, including interchange fees, as new and emerging alternative payment platforms take a greater market share of the payment systems; estimates of fair value of certain of Horizon’s assets and liabilities; changes in prepayment speeds, loan originations, credit losses, market values, collateral securing loans and other assets; changes in sources of liquidity; continuing risks and uncertainties relating to the COVID–19 pandemic and government responses thereto; legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be adopted and required by regulatory agencies; litigation, regulatory enforcement, and legal compliance risk and costs; rapid technological developments and changes; cyber terrorism and data security breaches; the rising costs of cybersecurity; the ability of the U.S. federal government to manage federal debt limits; climate change and social justice initiatives; material changes outside the U.S. or in overseas relations, including changes in U.S. trade relations related to imposition of tariffs, Brexit, and the phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”); the inability to realize cost savings or revenues or to effectively implement integration plans and other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures; acts of terrorism, war and global conflicts, such as the Russia and Ukraine conflict; and supply chain disruptions and delays. These and additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward–looking statements are discussed in Horizon’s reports (such as the Annual Report on Form 10–K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10–Q, and Current Reports on Form 8–K) filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet website (www.sec.gov). Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward–looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Horizon does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to update any forward–looking statement to reflect the events or circumstances after the date on which the forward–looking statement is made, or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.

Use of Non–GAAP Financial Measures

Certain information set forth in this press release refers to financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we have included non–GAAP financial measures relating to net income, diluted earnings per share, net interest margin, tangible stockholders’ equity and tangible book value per share, efficiency ratio, the return on average assets, the return on average common equity, return on average tangible equity, and pre–tax, pre–provision net income. In each case, we have identified special circumstances that we consider to be non–recurring and have excluded them. We believe that this shows the impact of such events as acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments, among others we have identified in our reconciliations. Horizon believes these non–GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors and provide a greater understanding of our business and financial results without giving effect to the purchase accounting impacts and one–time costs of acquisitions and non–recurring items. These measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure. See the tables and other information below and contained elsewhere in this press release for reconciliations of the non–GAAP information identified herein and its most comparable GAAP measures.

E X C E P T I O N A L S E R V I C E • S E N S I B L E A D V I C E ® Forward-Looking Statements This press release may contain forward–looking statements regarding the financial performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies of Horizon Bancorp, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Horizon”). For these statements, Horizon claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward–looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this press release should be considered in conjunction with the other information available about Horizon, including the information in the filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Forward–looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward– looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward–looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include: changes in the level and volatility of interest rates, changes in spreads on earning assets and changes in interest bearing liabilities; increased interest rate sensitivity; continuing increases in inflation; loss of key Horizon personnel; increases in disintermediation; potential loss of fee income, including interchange fees, as new and emerging alternative payment platforms take a greater market share of the payment systems; estimates of fair value of certain of Horizon’s assets and liabilities; changes in prepayment speeds, loan originations, credit losses, market values, collateral securing loans and other assets; changes in sources of liquidity; continuing risks and uncertainties relating to the COVID–19 pandemic and government responses thereto; legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be adopted and required by regulatory agencies; litigation, regulatory enforcement, and legal compliance risk and costs; rapid technological developments and changes; cyber terrorism and data security breaches; the rising costs of cybersecurity; the ability of the U.S. federal government to manage federal debt limits; climate change and social justice initiatives; material changes outside the U.S. or in overseas relations, including changes in U.S. trade relations related to imposition of tariffs, Brexit, and the phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”); the inability to realize cost savings or revenues or to effectively implement integration plans and other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures; acts of terrorism, war and global conflicts, such as the Russia and Ukraine conflict; and supply chain disruptions and delays. These and additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward–looking statements are discussed in Horizon’s reports (such as the Annual Report on Form 10–K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10–Q, and Current Reports on Form 8–K) filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet website (www.sec.gov). Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward–looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Horizon does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to update any forward–looking statement to reflect the events or circumstances after the date on which the forward–looking statement is made, or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law. Non-GAAP Measures Certain non-GAAP financial measures are presented herein. Horizon believes they are useful to investors and provide a greater understanding of Horizon’s business without giving effect to non-recurring costs and non-core items. For each non-GAAP financial measure, we have presented comparable GAAP measures and reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to those GAAP measures in the Appendix to this presentation.
