Hamilton, Bermuda - February 10, 2025: The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited ("Butterfield" or the "Bank") (BSX: NTB.BH; NYSE: NTB) today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $216.3 million, or $4.71 per diluted common share, compared to $225.5 million, or $4.58 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2023. Core net income1 for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $218.9 million, or $4.77 per diluted common share, compared to $231.5 million, or $4.70 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The return on average common equity for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 21.4% compared to 24.2% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The core return on average tangible common equity1 for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 24.0%, compared to 27.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 60.4% compared with 59.8% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The core efficiency ratio1 for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 60.0% compared with 58.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Michael Collins, Butterfield's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During 2024, we continued to deliver strong returns through our diversified fee income, low credit risk, Treasury/Agency investment portfolio, and effective capital management. We had an excellent finish to the year with seasonally higher non-interest income, lower funding costs, and a steady net interest margin driving a higher tangible book value per share. The positive

performance in the last quarter can also be attributed to the seasonal strength of both Cayman tourism and consumer credit card spend.

"As we position the Bank for sustainable growth in 2025, we continue to manage expenses by expanding our Halifax service center while investing in the technology required to provide an enhanced client experience. Butterfield is committed to increasing shareholder value by returning excess capital, improving our operating efficiency, and exploring offshore bank and fee business acquisitions."

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $59.6 million, or $1.34 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $52.7 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share, for the previous quarter and $53.5 million, or $1.11 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. Core net income1 for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $59.6 million, or $1.34 per diluted common share, compared to $52.8 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share, for the previous quarter and $55.3 million, or $1.15 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2023.
The return on average common equity for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 22.9% compared to 20.3% for the previous quarter and 22.5% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The core return on average tangible common equity1 for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 25.2%, compared to 22.5% for the previous quarter and 25.4% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 58.2%, compared to 60.3% for the previous quarter and 61.7% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The core efficiency ratio1 for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 58.2% compared with 60.2% in the previous quarter and 60.5% for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Net income and core net income1 were up in the fourth quarter of 2024 versus the prior quarter primarily due to higher non-interest income, higher net interest income, and lower provision for credit losses, which were partially offset by higher non-interest expenses.
Net interest income (“NII”) for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $88.6 million, or $0.6 million higher compared with NII of $88.1 million in the previous quarter and $1.7 million higher from $86.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. NII was higher during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower cost of deposits and higher investment yields partially offset by lower loan and treasury yields following interest rate cuts by central banks during the quarter. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, the increased NII in the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily due to higher treasury and investment volumes.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) for the fourth quarter of 2024 remained constant with the previous quarter at 2.61% and down 12 basis points from 2.73% in the fourth quarter of 2023. NIM in the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 due to lower treasury and loan yields, partially offset by increased yields on investments.
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $63.2 million, an increase of $7.2 million from $56.0 million in the previous quarter and $3.2 million higher than $60.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter was due to higher card volume due to seasonality, higher third party volume incentives and higher foreign exchange volume. Non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2024 was higher than the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher card volume due to seasonality and volume incentives, and increases in asset management fees, as a result of increased asset valuations and assets under management.
Non-interest expenses were $90.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $88.8 million in the previous quarter and $92.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Core non-interest expenses1 of $90.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 were higher than the $88.6 million incurred in the previous quarter and comparable to the $90.4 million incurred in the fourth quarter of 2023. Core non-interest expenses1 in the fourth quarter of 2024 were higher compared to the prior quarter due to higher marketing expenses related to credit card products and increased professional and outside services costs.
Period end deposit balances were $12.7 billion, an increase of 6.3% compared to $12.0 billion at December 31, 2023, primarily due to deposit increases in Bermuda and the Channel Islands. Average deposits were $12.5 billion in the quarter ended December 31, 2024, which is higher than the prior quarter.
Tangible book value per share at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 is $21.70 per share, slightly lower than $21.90 per share at the end of the prior quarter and an increase over the $19.29 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023.
The Bank maintained its balanced capital return policy. The Board again declared a quarterly dividend of $0.44 per common share to be paid on March 10, 2025 to shareholders of record on February 24, 2025. During the fourth quarter of 2024, Butterfield repurchased 1.3 million common shares under the Bank's existing share repurchase program. On December 9, 2024, the Board approved a new share repurchase program to replace its expiring


(1)    See table "Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings" below for reconciliation of US GAAP results to non-GAAP measures.         2



program, authorizing the purchase of up to 2.7 million common shares through to December 31, 2025. The new share repurchase authorization took effect on January 1, 2025.

The current total regulatory capital ratio as at December 31, 2024 was 25.8% as calculated under Basel III, compared to 25.4% as at December 31, 2023. Both of these ratios remain conservatively above the minimum Basel III regulatory requirements applicable to the Bank.

QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 COMPARED WITH THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

Net Income
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was $59.6 million, up from $52.7 million in the prior quarter.
The $6.9 million change in net income during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to the previous quarter are attributable to the following:
•$7.2 million increase in non-interest income driven by (i) $6.8 million increase in banking fees from increased card services fees and higher volume and incentives; and (ii) $1.0 million increase in foreign exchange revenue driven by volume;
•$0.6 million increase in net interest income before provision for credit losses driven by lower cost of deposits and higher investment yield, partially offset by lower loan and treasury yields and lower treasury asset volumes;
•$1.0 million decrease in provision for credit losses driven by a commercial real estate facility in Bermuda; and
•$1.9 million increase in non-interest expenses driven by (i) $1.1 million increase in marketing expenses from event costs and sponsorship; and (ii) $0.9 million increase in professional and outside services fees in the current quarter.

Non-Core Items1
There were no non-core items in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Management does not believe that comparative period expenses, gains or losses identified as non-core are indicative of the results of operations of the Bank in the ordinary course of business.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023

Net Income
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $216.3 million, down $9.2 million from $225.5 million in the prior year.
The $9.2 million change in net income in the year ended December 31, 2024 was due principally to the following:
•$17.7 million increase in non-interest income driven by (i) $4.9 million increase in banking fees due to increased card services and wire fees and volume incentives; (ii) $3.9 million increase in asset management fees due to increases in asset valuations and assets under management; (iii) $5.1 million increase in foreign exchange revenue due to higher volumes; and (iv) $3.6 million increase in trust income earned from clients acquired from Credit Suisse;
•$15.8 million decrease in net interest income before provision for credit losses primarily due to increasing deposit costs outpacing yields on interest earning assets;
•$2.8 million decrease in provision for credit losses due to the recognition in 2023 of increased specific provisions, net write-offs and cost associated with the recovery of collateral and lower average loan volume;
•$3.4 million decrease in total other gains (losses) due to a gain realized on the liquidation settlement from a legacy investment in 2023 that was previously written-off;
•$6.7 million increase in non-interest expenses, driven by higher property costs due to increased depreciation on Head Office renovations, higher amortization of intangible assets associated with the 2023 Credit Suisse trust asset acquisition, higher technology and communications driven by increased software maintenance costs and higher professional and outside services for project work. These were partially offset by lower staff-related costs as a result of redundancy expenses recognized in 2023 as part of a group-wide restructuring; and
•$3.8 million increase in income tax expenses due to higher net income in the Channel Islands and the initial recognition of a deferred tax asset in Singapore in 2023.

Non-Core Items1
Non-core items resulted in expenses, net of gains, of $2.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to expenses, net of gains, of $6.0 million in the prior year. Non-core items for the year relate mainly to (i) fees relating to corporate restructuring; (ii) final costs relating to the acquisition of assets from Credit Suisse; and (iii) costs associated with the departure of a senior executive.
Management does not believe that comparative period expenses, gains or losses identified as non-core are indicative of the results of operations of the Bank in the ordinary course of business.

BALANCE SHEET COMMENTARY AT DECEMBER 31, 2024 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 2023
Total Assets
Total assets of the Bank were $14.2 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $0.9 billion from December 31, 2023. The Bank maintained a highly liquid position at December 31, 2024, with $9.3 billion of cash, bank deposits, reverse repurchase agreements and liquid investments representing 65.3% of total assets, compared with 61.0% at December 31, 2023.
Loans Receivable
The loan portfolio totaled $4.5 billion at December 31, 2024, which was $0.3 billion lower than December 31, 2023 balances. The decrease was driven primarily by maturities and prepayments in excess of originations across the residential mortgage portfolios.
4

The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2024 totaled $25.7 million, which remains flat compared to $25.8 million at December 31, 2023.
The loan portfolio represented 31.4% of total assets at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: 35.5%), while loans as a percentage of total deposits was 35.1% at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: 39.6%). The decrease in both ratios was attributable principally to a decrease in loan balances and increase in total deposits at December 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023.
As at December 31, 2024, the Bank had gross non-accrual loans of $76.7 million, representing 1.7% of total gross loans, an increase of $15.6 million from $61.0 million, or 1.3% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. The increase in non-accrual loans was driven by a commercial facility secured by real estate in Bermuda and residential mortgages in the Channel Islands and UK segment.
Other real estate owned (“OREO”) decreased by $0.5 million compared to December 31, 2023 driven by the sale of a residential property in Bermuda.
Investment in Securities
The investment portfolio was $5.5 billion at December 31, 2024, which was $0.2 billion higher than the December 31, 2023 balances.
The investment portfolio is made up of high-quality assets with 100% invested in A-or-better-rated securities. The investment book yield was 2.51% during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared with 2.39% during the previous quarter. Total net unrealized losses on the available-for-sale portfolio remained relatively flat at $163.3 million, compared with total net unrealized losses of $163.9 million at December 31, 2023.
Deposits
Average total deposit balances were $12.5 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 which is higher than the $12.4 billion in the prior quarter, while period end balances as at December 31, 2024 were $12.7 billion, an increase of $0.8 billion compared to December 31, 2023 and consistent with the prior quarter.

Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings
The table below shows the reconciliation of net income in accordance with US GAAP to core earnings, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes certain significant items that are included in our US GAAP results of operations. We focus on core net income, which we calculate by adjusting net income to exclude certain income or expense items that are not representative of our business operations, or “non-core”. Core net income includes revenue, gains, losses and expense items incurred in the normal course of business. We believe that expressing earnings and certain other financial measures excluding these non-core items provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Bank and predicting future performance. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Bank on the same basis as management.

Certain statements in this release involve the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We believe such measures provide useful information to investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with US GAAP; however, our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, investors should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with US GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use. See "Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings" for additional information.
