    SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westamerica Bancorporation (Nasdaq: WABC), parent company of Westamerica Bank, generated net income for the third quarter 2022 of $34.8 million and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") of $1.29, including a life insurance gain equivalent to EPS of $0.03. Third quarter 2022 net income was 37 percent higher than second quarter 2022 net income of $25.3 million and EPS of $0.94.

    "Westamerica’s third quarter 2022 results benefited from the Company’s variable-rate bonds, cash and loans, as well as our valuable deposit base. With 47 percent of average deposits represented by non-interest bearing checking accounts and limited reliance on time deposits, the cost of funding our loan and bond portfolios was 0.03 percent in the third quarter 2022, unchanged from the prior quarter. Operating expenses were well controlled and credit quality remained solid,” said Chairman, President and CEO David Payne. “Third quarter 2022 results generated an annualized 17.1 percent return on average common equity. Shareholders were paid a $0.42 per common share dividend during the third quarter 2022,” concluded Payne.

    Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis was $60.8 million for the third quarter 2022, compared to $48.0 million for the second quarter 2022. The yield earned on loans and bonds for the third quarter 2022 was 3.47 percent, up from 2.77 percent for the second quarter 2022. The cost of funding the loan and bond portfolios was 0.03 percent for both the third quarter and second quarter of 2022. Variable rate assets at September 30, 2022 included $1.6 billion in collateralized loan obligations for which interest rates reset quarterly, and $304.1 million in interest-bearing cash balances for which the interest rate changes concurrently with Federal Open Market Committee adjustments to the federal funds rate.

    Noninterest income for the third quarter 2022 totaled $11.8 million, including a $923 thousand life insurance gain. Noninterest income for the second quarter 2022 was $11.3 million.

    Noninterest expenses for the third quarter 2022 were $24.8 million compared to $24.6 million for the second quarter 2022.

    Footnotes and Abbreviations:

    (1) The Company received a $1.2 million reconciling payment from a payments network in the first quarter 2022.
     
    (2) Debt Securities Held To Maturity and Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions are net of related reserve for expected credit losses of $7 thousand at September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.
     
    (FTE) Fully Taxable Equivalent. The Company presents its net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis using the current statutory federal tax rate. Management believes the FTE basis is valuable to the reader because the Company’s loan and investment securities portfolios contain a relatively large portion of municipal loans and securities that are federally tax exempt. The Company’s tax exempt loans and securities composition may not be similar to that of other banks, therefore in order to reflect the impact of the federally tax exempt loans and securities on the net interest margin and net interest income for comparability with other banks, the Company presents its net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis.
     
    (a) Annualized
     
    Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
