SUMMIT FINANCIAL GROUP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2024 EARNINGS OF $1.14 PER SHARE

MOOREFIELD, WV – April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Summit Financial Group, Inc. (“Company” or “Summit”) (NASDAQ: SMMF) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2024, revealing a strong earnings performance marked by growth in loans. The Company’s continued success underscores its position as an exceptional community bank, reflecting a sound strategy and solid operational execution.

The Company, which serves commercial and individual clients across West Virginia, the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, Virginia, Kentucky, the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Delaware through Summit Community Bank, Inc., reported net income applicable to common shares of $16.8 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $16.4 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $13.9 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023.

"We had a strong start to the year highlighted by solid earnings, a stable top quartile peer net interest margin, an enviable efficiency ratio and best-in-class return on tangible common equity” noted H. Charles Maddy, III, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Now as we look forward to the consummation of our strategic partnership with Burke & Herbert, which brings together two organizations dedicated to a community banking model that places an emphasis on service and dedication to the people who live and work among us, I could not be more excited by the combined organization’s prospects for robust growth and for enhancing shareholder value.”

Key Highlights for the First Quarter of 2024

● Our pending merger of equals with Burke & Herbert Financial Services Corp. (“Burke & Herbert”) has received all required regulatory approvals or waivers and is expected to close May 3, 2024.

● Tangible Book Value Per Common Share (“TBVPCS”) increased by $1.02 to $24.91 during the first quarter of 2024, representing a 4.3 percent increase. This increase was primarily due to net retained earnings.

● Our net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased 1 basis point to 3.75 percent from the linked quarter.

● The first quarter saw a modest increase in total loans, excluding mortgage warehouse lines of credit and acquired loans, registering an increase of 0.48 percent (1.93 percent annualized). This performance was further underscored by year-over-year growth of 6.7 percent.

● Summit's core deposits likewise experienced a modest increase in the first quarter of 2024, up 0.91 percent (3.63 percent annualized)  from the linked quarter.

● The Company recorded no provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $1.50 million in the linked quarter.

● Summit’s efficiency ratio was 48.29 percent compared to 47.33 percent in the linked quarter, indicating optimized use of resources.

Results from Operations

Net interest income totaled $39.9 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 16.8 percent from the prior-year first quarter, and a decrease of 2.1 percent from the linked quarter. NIM for the first quarter 2024 was 3.75 percent compared to 3.76 percent for the linked quarter and 3.83 percent for the prior-year quarter.

Summit recorded no provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $1.50 million in both the linked quarter and the year ago quarter.

Noninterest income, consisting primarily of service fee income from community banking activities and trust and wealth management fees, for first quarter 2024 was $5.08 million compared to $5.80 million for the linked quarter and $4.39 million for the comparable period of 2023. The Company recorded realized securities losses on available for sale debt securities of $94,000 in the first quarter of 2024 and gains of $15,000 in the linked quarter. In addition, the Company recognized net gains on equity investments of $40,000 in the first quarter 2024 compared to $365,000 in the linked quarter.

Total noninterest expense decreased to $23.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, down 4.0 percent from $23.9 million in the linked quarter and up 18.3 percent from $19.4 million for the prior-year first quarter.

Salary and benefit expenses of $12.1 million in the first quarter of 2024 increased from $11.4 million for the linked quarter and $10.8 million from the prior-year first quarter. The year over year increase was primarily due to the PSB acquisition and higher group health insurance premiums.

Acquisition-related expenses were $53,000 for Q1 2024 compared to $839,000 for the linked quarter and $331,000 for Q1 2023.

Other expenses were very controlled at $3.44 million for Q1 2024 compared to $4.35 million for the linked quarter and $2.97 million in the year-ago period.

Summit’s efficiency ratio was 48.29 percent in the first quarter of 2024, up from 48.00 percent for the first quarter of 2023 and marginally higher compared to 47.33 percent in the linked quarter. Non-interest expense to average assets was 1.99 percent in first quarter of 2024 compared to 2.05 percent in the linked quarter and 1.97 percent in the year-ago quarter.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2024, total assets were $4.6 billion, an increase of $8.56 million, or 0.2 percent since December 31, 2023.

Total loans net of unearned fees increased 0.4 percent (1.7 percent annualized) to $3.70 billion as of March 31, 2024, from $3.68 billion at December 31, 2023. Total loans, excluding those related to mortgage warehouse lending and acquired loans, reached $3.2 billion as of March 31, 2024. This represents an increase of 0.48 percent (or 1.93 percent when annualized) during the quarter just ended.

Deposits totaled $3.7 billion on March 31, 2024, a 0.9 percent (or 3.6 percent annualized) increase during the first quarter. Core deposits increased 0.9 percent (3.6 percent annualized) during the first quarter 2024 to $3.7 billion.  Adjusted uninsured deposits (excluding uninsured public deposits otherwise secured or collateralized as required by law) were 34.4 percent of total deposits at March 31, 2024 compared to 34.8 percent at year-end 2023 and 29.3 percent at the year-ago period end.

Total shareholders’ equity was $454.3 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $440.2 million at December 31, 2023. Summit paid a quarterly common dividend of $0.22 per share in the first quarter of 2024.

During the first quarter 2024, TBVPCS increased $1.02 to $24.91. In addition to the positive impact of retained earnings, TBVPCS was positively impacted by unrealized net gains on interest rate caps and swaps held as hedges against higher interest rates totaling $0.20 per common share (net of deferred income taxes) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  However, these gains were nearly offset by unrealized net losses on AFS debt securities of $0.18 per common share (net of deferred income taxes), also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, in the same period.

Summit had 14,686,738 outstanding common shares at March 31, 2024, compared to 14,683,457 at year-end 2023.

Asset Quality

The Company recorded net loan recoveries of $93,000 during first quarter 2024 compared to net loan recoveries of $188,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $63,000 in the year-ago period.

Summit recorded no provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses was $1.50 million for both the linked quarter and the first quarter of 2023.

Summit’s allowance for loan credit losses was $49.2 million on March 31, 2024, $48.1 million at the end of the linked quarter, and $40.8 million on March 31, 2023.

The allowance for loan credit losses stood at 1.33 percent of total loans at March 31, 2024 compared to 1.31 percent at December 31, 2023. The allowance was 227.6 percent of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2024, compared to 388.2 percent at year-end 2023.

Summit’s allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was $6.69 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $7.74 million at the end of the linked quarter. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments decreased $1.05 million during the most recent quarter, principally as a result of a change in the mix of unfunded commitments. Construction loan commitments, which on average have a higher historical loss ratio than do other loans, decreased, while commercial unfunded lines of credit, which carry a lower loss factor and lower utilization rates, increased.

As of March 31, 2024, nonperforming assets (“NPAs”), consisting of nonperforming loans, foreclosed properties, and repossessed assets, totaled $25.1 million, or 0.54 percent of assets, compared to NPAs of $16.2 million, or 0.35 percent of assets at year-end 2023.
