Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share of $1.21 vs. $0.21 in 1Q20

Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE: SNV) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Highlights

  • Net income available to common shareholders of $178.8 million or $1.19 per diluted share, up $0.23 sequentially and $0.99 compared to prior year.
    • Adjusted diluted EPS of $1.21, up $0.13 sequentially and $1.00 compared to prior year.
  • Period-end loans increased $552.1 million or 1% sequentially.
    • Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans increased $170.1 million and third-party consumer loan balances, including a prime auto purchase of $476 million, increased $503.2 million sequentially.
  • Core transaction deposits (non-interest bearing, NOW/savings, and money market deposits excluding public and brokered funds) increased $2.05 billion or 6% sequentially.
  • Total deposit costs of 0.22% down 6 bps sequentially due to ongoing repricing and product remixing.
  • Net interest income of $373.9 million declined $12.1 million sequentially as lower deposit costs and deployment of excess liquidity partially offset a lower day count, continued fixed-rate asset repricing, and accelerated prepayment activity.
    • Net interest margin of 3.04% vs 3.12% sequentially.
  • Non-interest revenue declined $3.8 million sequentially and increased $7.1 million compared to prior year.
    • Adjusted non-interest revenue increased $0.6 million sequentially as broad-based growth helped offset normalization of net mortgage revenue.
  • Non-interest expense declined $35.4 million sequentially and $9.1 million compared to prior year.
    • Adjusted non-interest expense declined $8.5 million sequentially led by reduction in professional fees, partially offset by seasonal increases in payroll taxes and benefits.
  • Reversal of provision for credit losses of $18.6 million, primarily from a more favorable economic outlook.
    • Allowance for credit losses coverage ratio (to loans) of 1.58%, or 1.69% excluding PPP loans.
  • Credit quality metrics remain relatively stable with a net charge-off ratio of 0.21%; non-performing assets, non-performing loans, and past dues remained near prior cycle lows.
  • Preliminary CET1 ratio increased 8 bps sequentially to 9.74%, with strong core earnings helping offset a $1.20 billion increase in risk-weighted assets.
  • In April, executed share repurchases of approximately $10 million as part of the $200 million authorization for 2021.

“Our results in the first quarter of 2021 reflect strong financial performance as we continue to position the company for long-term growth,” said Kessel Stelling, Synovus Chairman and CEO. “Solid earnings drove capital growth, core transaction deposits grew $2 billion from the previous quarter, credit quality remained strong, and our efficiency initiatives enabled additional investments in improving the customer experience. We continued to support our customers and communities through the Paycheck Protection Program in the first quarter, including approximately $1 billion in phase two fundings. As the economic recovery accelerates and Kevin Blair steps in as CEO, the energy and optimism among our team are high, and I have never been more confident in our future.”

Kevin Blair, Synovus President and COO, said, “I’m honored for the opportunity to lead this exceptional team, and to build upon our strong foundation in driving growth as we deliver differentiated, value-adding solutions and advice to attract and build relationships with our clients.”

Core Performance

  • Net interest income of $373.9 million in the first quarter, down $12.1 million sequentially as lower deposit costs and deployment of excess liquidity helped offset declines from continued fixed-rate repricing and accelerated prepayment activity.
    • Net PPP fee accretion of $24.9 million, up $0.1 million sequentially.
    • Net interest margin was 3.04%, down 8 bps sequentially.
  • Non-interest revenue decreased $3.8 million, or 3% sequentially, and increased $7.1 million, or 7% compared to prior year. Adjusted non-interest revenue increased $0.6 million, or 1% sequentially, and $13.6 million, or 14% compared to prior year.
    • Broad-based growth including $3.2 million in capital markets income helped offset normalization of net mortgage revenue, which declined $2.1 million sequentially.
  • Non-interest expense decreased $35.4 million, or 12% sequentially. Adjusted non-interest expense decreased $8.5 million, or 3% sequentially.
    • Seasonal increases in employment-related expenses such as payroll taxes and benefits more than offset by lower headcount and day count as well as lower professional fees associated with Synovus Forward and COVID/PPP.
  • Reversal of provision for credit losses of $18.6 million; allowance for credit losses coverage ratio (to loans) of 1.58%, or 1.69% excluding PPP loans.
  • Tax expense was $49.2 million, an increase of $12.4 million driven by higher taxable income.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and certain of our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through Synovus’ use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “assumes,” “should,” “predicts,” “could,” “would,” “intends,” “targets,” “estimates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential” and other similar words and expressions of the future or otherwise regarding the outlook for Synovus’ future business and financial performance and/or the performance of the banking industry and economy in general. These forward-looking statements include, among others, our expectations regarding our future operating and financial performance; our expectations regarding net interest income and net interest margin; expectations on our growth strategy, expense and revenue initiatives, capital management, balance sheet management, and future profitability; expectations on credit quality and performance; and the assumptions underlying our expectations. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Synovus to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the information known to, and current beliefs and expectations of, Synovus’ management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this press release. Many of these factors are beyond Synovus’ ability to control or predict.

These forward-looking statements are based upon information presently known to Synovus’ management and are inherently subjective, uncertain and subject to change due to any number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the risks and other factors set forth in Synovus’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, under the captions “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” and in Synovus’ quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date that they are made. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The measures entitled adjusted non-interest revenue; adjusted non-interest expense; total adjusted revenue; adjusted tangible efficiency ratio; adjusted net income available to common shareholders; adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted return on average assets; adjusted return on average common equity; return on average tangible common equity; adjusted return on average tangible common equity; and tangible common equity ratio are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are total non-interest revenue; total non-interest expense; total FTE revenue; efficiency ratio-FTE; net income available to common shareholders; diluted earnings per share; return on average assets; return on average common equity; and the ratio of total shareholders' equity to total assets, respectively.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Synovus to assist management and investors in evaluating Synovus’ operating results, financial strength, the performance of its business, and the strength of its capital position. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of operating results or capital position as reported under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as additional views of the way our financial measures are affected by significant items and other factors, and since they are not required to be uniformly applied, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures at other companies. Total adjusted revenue and adjusted non-interest revenue are measures used by management to evaluate total FTE revenue and non-interest revenue exclusive of net investment securities gains (losses) and changes in the fair value of private equity investments, net. Adjusted non-interest expense and the adjusted tangible efficiency ratio are measures utilized by management to measure the success of expense management initiatives focused on reducing recurring controllable operating costs. Adjusted net income available to common shareholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, and adjusted return on average common equity are measures used by management to evaluate operating results exclusive of items that are not indicative of ongoing operations and impact period-to-period comparisons. Return on average tangible common equity and adjusted return on average tangible common equity are measures used by management to compare Synovus’ performance with other financial institutions because it calculates the return available to common shareholders without the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization, thereby allowing management to evaluate the performance of the business consistently. The tangible common equity ratio is used by management to assess the strength of our capital position. The computations of these measures are set forth in the tables below.
