SAN ANTONIO, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (NYSE:CFR) today reported second quarter 2021 results. Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2021 was $116.4 million, compared to $93.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. On a per-share basis, net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.80 per diluted common share, compared to $1.47 per diluted common share reported a year earlier. Returns on average assets and average common equity were 1.02 percent and 11.18 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 0.99 percent and 9.60 percent, respectively, for the same period a year earlier.
For the second quarter of 2021, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $280.0 million, up 3.8 percent, compared to the same quarter in 2020. Average loans for the second quarter of 2021 decreased $303.2 million, or 1.7 percent, to $17.2 billion, from the $17.5 billion reported for the second quarter a year earlier. Excluding PPP loans, second quarter average loans of $14.6 billion represented a 3.0 percent decrease compared to the second quarter of 2020. Average deposits for the quarter were $38.3 billion, up $7.0 billion, or 22.2 percent, compared to the $31.3 billion reported for last year's second quarter.
"Since the end of the quarter, we've begun to see stabilization in non-PPP loans," said Phil Green, Cullen/Frost Chairman and CEO. "As we emerge from the pandemic lockdown and the economy reopens, our company is in a strong position to benefit from the rebound in economic activity. During the second quarter, we completed our 25-branch expansion program in the Houston market area. Based on the success of our new Houston area locations to date, we've announced a similar organic expansion effort in Dallas, as well as some follow-on new location openings in the Houston area. At the same time, we continue to take steps to enhance the Frost experience for our customers and our employees."
For the first six months of 2021, net income available to common shareholders was $230.3 million, up 64.1 percent compared to $140.3 million for the first six months of 2020. Diluted EPS available to common shareholders for the first six months of 2021 was $3.57 compared to $2.21 in the year-earlier period, representing an increase of 61.5 percent. Returns on average assets and average common equity for the first six months of 2021 were 1.05 percent and 11.16 percent, respectively, compared to 0.79 percent and 7.24 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2020.
Noted financial data for the second quarter of 2021 follows:
- The Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios at the end of the second quarter of 2021 were 13.60 percent, 14.21 percent and 16.17 percent, respectively, and continue to be in excess of well-capitalized levels and exceed Basel III minimum requirements.
- Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $280.0 million, an increase of 3.8 percent, compared to the prior year period. Net interest margin was 2.65 percent for the second quarter of 2021, down 7 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2021 net interest margin of 2.72 percent. Net interest margin decreased 48 basis points compared to 3.13 percent for the same period in 2020.
- Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $91.2 million, an increase of $13.6 million, or 17.6 percent, from the $77.6 million reported for the second quarter of 2020. Trust and investment management fees increased $6.8 million, or 21.9 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase in trust and investment management fees was primarily the result of increases in equity valuations and the number of customer accounts as well as an increase in estate fees. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $2.3 million or 12.9 percent compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly driven by increases in overdraft charges on consumer and commercial accounts (up $887,000 and $314,000, respectively) and an increase in commercial service charges (up $974,000). Other income for the second quarter increased by $1.8 million, or 23.6 percent compared to the year-earlier period. This increase was largely driven by gains on sales of assets, up $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2021, due to a $1.8 million gain on sale of real estate. Net interchange and card transaction fees increased by $1.7 million, or 56.5 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2020, driven by increased transaction volumes as well as new card products and partly offset by increases in network costs. Other charges, commissions and fees increased $1.0 million, or 12.7 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily related to an increase in income from the sale of mutual fund accounts (up $1.1 million).
- Non-interest expense was $215.3 million for the quarter, up $15.6 million, or 7.8 percent, compared to the $199.7 million reported for the second quarter a year earlier. Salaries and wages expense increased $6.7 million, or 7.4 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2020, impacted by decreased PPP-related expense deferrals in the second quarter of 2021. Salaries and wages during the second quarter of 2020 were impacted by $5.5 million of salary costs deferred as loan origination costs in connection with the high volume of PPP loan originations during that quarter, which reduced salaries expense. The comparable PPP-related salaries expense deferral for the second quarter of 2021 was $399,000. Other non-interest expense increased $5.7 million, or 15.7 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The overall increase included increases in donations expense (up $2.0 million); advertising/promotions expense (up $1.8 million); and fraud losses (up $873,000); among other things. Donations expense during the second quarter of 2021 was impacted by a $1.8 million contribution to the Frost Charitable Foundation. The increase in other non-interest expense was also partly due to a decrease in costs deferred as loan origination costs, down $1.6 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily in connection with the high volume of PPP loan originations during the second quarter of 2020. Technology, furniture and equipment expense increased $2.0 million, or 7.5 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily related to increases in cloud services expense (up $1.1 million), depreciation of furniture and equipment (up $689,000) and software maintenance (up $407,000). Net occupancy expense increased $1.4 million, or 5.5 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily related to increases in repairs and maintenance/service contracts expense (up $1.4 million) and depreciation on leasehold improvements (up $532,000), among other things, partly offset by a decrease in lease expense (down $754,000).
- For the second quarter of 2021, the company did not report a credit loss expense. For the second quarter of 2020, the company recorded a $27.2 million credit loss expense related to loans and $41.0 million in net charge-offs. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.54 percent at June 30, 2021, compared to 1.46 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2021 and 1.39 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2020. Excluding PPP loans, which carry a guarantee from the SBA, the allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.74 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2021, compared to 1.77 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2021 and 1.69 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2020. Non-accrual loans were $57.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 2021, compared to $51.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2021 and $79.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020.
The Cullen/Frost board declared a third-quarter cash dividend of $0.75 per common share, representing an increase of 4 percent from the previous quarterly dividend of $0.72. The dividend on common stock is payable September 15, 2021 to shareholders of record on August 31 of this year.
