Signature Bank SBNY is expected to report its first quarter 2022 results before the opening bell on April 19. The company’s revenues and profits are expected to have seen year-over-year increases.

Signature Bank is one of the leading banks in the cryptocurrency industry, with large deposits coming from its digital asset business. In the most recently reported quarter, the bank’s earnings beat the Zacks consensus estimate on the back of an increase in non-interest income and record growth in loan and deposit balances. However, an increase in operating expenses was the slowing factor.

Notably, Signature Bank has an impressive track record of earnings surprises. It has exceeded estimates in the past four quarters, generating an earnings surprise of 10.8% on average.

The company’s business in the reportable quarter was enough to earn analysts’ confidence. As a result, Zacks’ consensus estimate for first-quarter earnings of $4.31 has risen slightly over the past month. Additionally, the figure indicates a 33% increase from the number reported a year ago. The consensus revenue estimate is pegged at $604.5 million, suggesting 37.6% year-over-year growth.

Now let’s discuss the factors that may have had an impact on the company’s quarterly performance:

Loans: Credit activity accelerated in the first quarter. According to the latest data from the Fed, commercial and consumer loans, including credit cards, commercial and industrial loans, and residential and commercial real estate loans, were considerably strong in January and February.

In 2021, the bank onboarded eight private client banking teams – two in New York, four on the West Coast, a corporate mortgage finance team and a Small Business Administration (SBA) origination team.

Therefore, even though the first quarter is generally a seasonal quarter for SBNY’s lending business, these past efforts should have driven loan growth in the SBA lending, mortgage warehouse, commercial real estate and banking businesses. funds during the quarter.

Based on management guidance, first quarter non-multifamily commercial real estate loans are expected to increase by $250 million to $750 million.

Net interest income (NII): Management expects loan and investment securities balances to increase by $3 billion to $7 billion in the first quarter of 2022. This should have resulted in interest income in the first quarter of 2022, in turn driving the average balance of interest-earning assets.

Additionally, the low-cost source of funding, non-interest bearing deposits, representing 41.8% of total deposits (as of December 31, 2021), is expected to have reduced interest expense and eased pressure on the NII as of first trimester.

Therefore, average interest-earning assets and strong average growth in deposits and loans likely contributed to the growth of the MNI in the first quarter.

The consensus estimate for NII before provision for credit losses is set at $573 million, suggesting sequential growth of 6.9%.

Non-interest income: Supported by its continued business growth, west coast expansion and digital filing initiative, commissions are expected to have increased. The consensus mark for the same is set at $4.1 million, indicating a marginal sequential increase.

Business expansion and deposit growth are expected to incur fees and service charges. Zacks’ consensus estimate for the same is pegged at $23.3 million, suggesting an 8.2% increase from the previous quarter’s reported figure.

Overall, Zacks’ consensus estimate for non-interest revenue is pegged at $34.8 million, suggesting a 4.1% increase from the prior quarter’s reported figure. Management expects first quarter fee income to grow 10% year over year.

Expenses: Signature Bank’s costs are expected to have continued to increase in the quarter under review, given investments in technology and digitization efforts. As the business continues to expand, the hiring of private banking teams and operational support to meet the bank’s needs is expected to result in higher payroll costs.

Additionally, rising inflation should have led to higher non-interest expenses in the reportable quarter. Such an increase is likely to have hampered earnings growth in the first quarter.
