First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. Announces Key Developments and Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Hammond, Louisiana, July 23, 2024 – First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. ("First Guaranty") (NASDAQ: FGBI), the holding company for First Guaranty Bank, announced its key developments and unaudited financial results for the second quarter and six months ending June 30, 2024.

Key developments are as follows:

•First Guaranty is initiating changes to its business strategy. The changes include slowing the trajectory of the bank’s asset growth, further increasing the capital position, and working with leaner staff while utilizing automation and technological advances. First Guaranty has reduced staff by 71 positions. This reduction represents approximately 15% of the bank’s workforce. Each of the affected employees will receive 60 days of pay, payment for their unused vacation time, their elected healthcare coverage through September 30, 2024, and will have the opportunity to apply for open positions within the bank. First Guaranty will continue its other noninterest expense reductions previously undertaken earlier in the year.

•First Guaranty anticipates that the change to the business strategy will generate a reduction in noninterest expense of approximately $12.0 million pre-tax on an annual basis which includes the reduction in staff. The cost savings are anticipated to impact the fourth quarter of 2024 by about $2.0 million pre-tax. It is anticipated that about $3.0 million in pre-tax savings will be realized per quarter for 2025.

•First Guaranty’s Board of Directors anticipates paying a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share for the third and fourth quarters of 2024.

•As previously announced, on June 28, 2024, the Bank consummated a sale-leaseback transaction relating to two stand-alone branches and a portion of the headquarters building which also contains a branch (collectively, the “Properties”). The aggregate cash purchase price was $14.7 million. The sale-leaseback transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $13.2 million, or $10.4 million after tax. Aggregate first full year of rent expense under the Lease Agreements will be approximately $1.3 million pre-tax, or $1.0 million after tax.

Financial Highlights for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, are as follows:

•Total assets increased $62.8 million and were $3.6 billion at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Total loans at June 30, 2024 were $2.8 billion, an increase of $84.6 million, or 3.1%, compared with December 31, 2023. Total deposits were $3.0 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $34.4 million, or 1.1%, compared with December 31, 2023. Retained earnings were $72.3 million at June 30, 2024, an increase of $4.3 million compared to $68.0 million at December 31, 2023. Shareholders' equity was $255.1 million and $249.6 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

•Net income for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 was $7.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, an increase of $4.5 million or 169.1%. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $9.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively, an increase of $3.4 million or 54.8%.

•Earnings per common share were $0.53 and $0.19 for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.67 and $0.46 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total weighted average shares outstanding were 12,504,717 and 10,913,029 for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 12,497,313 and 10,815,454 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in shares was due to the issuance of 44,341 and 29,293 shares of common stock under the Equity Bonus Plan during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, respectively, and the issuance of 1,714,287 shares of common stock under private placement in 2023.

•The allowance for credit losses was 1.07% of total loans at June 30, 2024 compared to 1.13% at December 31, 2023.

•Net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 was $21.2 million compared to $20.9 million for the same period in 2023. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $43.2 million compared to $43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

•The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 was $6.8 million compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2023. The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.1 million compared to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

•First Guaranty had $1.0 million of other real estate owned as of June 30, 2024 compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2023.

•The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 2.48% which was a decrease of 26 basis points from the net interest margin of 2.74% for the same period in 2023. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 2.53% which was a decrease of 33 basis points from the net interest margin of 2.86% for the same period in 2023. First Guaranty attributed the decrease in the net interest margin to the increase in market interest rates that began in 2022 and continued through 2023 that increased the cost of liabilities. Loans as a percentage of average interest earning assets decreased to 81.1% at June 30, 2024 compared to 83.6% at June 30, 2023.





•Investment securities totaled $358.6 million at June 30, 2024, a decrease of $45.6 million when compared to $404.1 million at December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024, available for sale securities, at fair value, totaled $37.4 million, a decrease of $46.1 million when compared to $83.5 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in available for sale securities was primarily due to the maturity of low yielding Treasury securities of which the proceeds were subsequently reinvested in higher yielding loans and or cash equivalents. At June 30, 2024, held to maturity securities, at amortized cost and net of the allowance for credit losses totaled $321.2 million, an increase of $0.5 million when compared to $320.6 million at December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses for HTM securities was $0.1 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

•Total loans net of unearned income were $2.8 billion at June 30, 2024, a net increase of $84.6 million from December 31, 2023. Total loans net of unearned income are reduced by the allowance for credit losses which totaled $30.3 million at June 30, 2024 and $30.9 million at December 31, 2023, respectively.

•Nonaccrual loans increased $37.1 million to $62.3 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $25.2 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in total nonaccrual loans was concentrated primarily in one commercial real estate relationship that totaled $36.9 million. This relationship is comprised of five loans secured by real estate located in the Midwest. $13.9 million of this relationship was previously reported in 90 day plus but still accruing at December 31, 2023.

•At June 30, 2024, our largest non-performing assets were comprised of the following nonaccrual loans: (1) $36.9 million non-farm non-residential loan relationship comprised of five loans; (2) a $2.0 million loan relationship that is classified as purchased credit deteriorated; (3) a commercial lease loan that totaled $1.8 million; (4) a construction and land development loan that totaled $1.7 million; (5) a commercial lease loan that totaled $1.7 million; and (6) a $1.3 million one- to four-family loan relationship.

•Book value per common share was $17.76 as of June 30, 2024 compared to $17.36 as of December 31, 2023. The increase was due primarily to the recent issuance of new shares and changes in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). AOCI is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, including unrealized losses on available for sale securities at the time of transfer to held to maturity.

•First Guaranty's Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $0.16 per common share in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023. First Guaranty has paid 124 consecutive quarterly dividends as of June 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, we also evaluate our performance based on certain additional metrics. Tangible book value per share and the ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets are not financial measures recognized under GAAP and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measures.
 
Our management, banking regulators, many financial analysts and other investors use these non-GAAP financial measures to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of preferred equity and/or goodwill or other intangible assets, which typically stem from the use of the purchase accounting method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions. Tangible equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per share or related measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total shareholders' equity, total assets, book value per share or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate tangible equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per share and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
 
The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, shareholders' equity (on a GAAP basis) to tangible equity and total assets (on a GAAP basis) to tangible assets and calculates our tangible book value per share.

2 CERTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended with respect to the financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and future performance of the business of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (“First Guaranty,” the “Company” or “FGBI”). These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are those that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors (some of which are beyond our control). Forward-looking statements often include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook” or similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” We caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, including, changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; competition among depository and other financial institutions; inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; adverse changes in the securities markets; changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans; changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends; increases in our provision for loan losses and changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own, which could cause our actual results and experience to differ from the anticipated results and expectations, expressed in such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Statements included in this presentation include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables under the section titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliations.” The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its performance. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparison to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider the Company’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.
