GREEN BAY, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 2025-- 

Nicolet Bankshares, Inc. $(NIC)$ ("Nicolet") announced first quarter 2025 net income of $33 million and earnings per diluted common share of $2.08, compared to net income of $34 million and earnings per diluted common share of $2.19 for fourth quarter 2024, and net income of $28 million and earnings per diluted common share of $1.82 for first quarter 2024.

"Our first quarter profitability metrics likely place us well within the top quartile of community banks and these results continue to demonstrate that our actions match our words as discussed in our annual report letter," said Mike Daniels, Chairman, President, and CEO of Nicolet. "We are growing core relationships in all revenue lines, and we are especially encouraged that our typical seasonal decline in core deposits was much less than in prior years. We are also encouraged that our growth is occurring in a disciplined manner. Even with the recent public market volatility and uncertainty, our team is doing what we do best -- having real conversations with customers and figuring out how to matter to them and our communities."

Daniels continued, "while we continue to have high-level M&A conversations, we remain steadfast in our belief that any deal needs to make Nicolet a better bank and enhance long-term shareholder value. Given the market uncertainty, we believe it makes sense to allow the dust to settle. In the meantime, our Board increased our stock buyback authorization, and affirmed that the best acquisition we can make -- regardless of any market volatility -- is in our own company through share repurchases."

Balance Sheet Review

At March 31, 2025, period end assets were $9.0 billion, an increase of $178 million (2%) from December 31, 2024, mostly from loan growth. Total loans increased $119 million from December 31, 2024, mostly in commercial & industrial loans. Total deposits of $7.6 billion at March 31, 2025, increased $169 million from December 31, 2024, including a $107 million increase in brokered deposits and a $62 million increase in customer (core) deposits. Total capital was $1.2 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $10 million over December 31, 2024, with solid earnings and favorable movements in the securities portfolio market valuation partly offset by common stock repurchases and the quarterly common stock dividend. At March 31, 2025, approximately $10 million remained available for common stock repurchases under the current board authorization. Subsequently, on April 15, 2025, the Board approved a $60 million increase to the common stock repurchase authorization.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets were $29 million and represented 0.33% of total assets at March 31, 2025, minimally changed from both December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses-loans was $67 million and represented 1.00% of total loans at March 31, 2025, compared to $66 million (or 1.00% of total loans) at December 31, 2024, and $64 million (or 1.01% of total loans) at March 31, 2024. Asset quality trends remain solid and loan net charge-offs were negligible.

Income Statement Review - Quarter

Net income was $33 million for first quarter 2025, compared to net income of $34 million for fourth quarter 2024.

Net interest income was $71 million for first quarter 2025, down slightly from fourth quarter 2024, mostly due to higher interest expense from deposit growth, with average interest-bearing deposits up $285 million (5%) over fourth quarter. The net interest margin for first quarter 2025 was 3.58%, down 3 bps from 3.61% for fourth quarter 2024. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 1 bps (to 5.67%), while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for first quarter 2025 decreased 7 bps (to 2.83%) due to lower deposit costs and decreased 9 bps due to lower noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

Noninterest income of $18 million for first quarter 2025 decreased $3 million from fourth quarter 2024, mostly due to seasonably lower net mortgage income from fewer secondary market sales. Wealth income decreased $0.2 million, while other noninterest income declined $0.3 million on lower swap fees. Net asset gains were $0.9 million unfavorable, mostly from changes in the market value of equity securities.

Noninterest expense of $48 million for first quarter 2025 was down slightly from fourth quarter 2024. Occupancy, equipment, and office expense increased $0.6 million on higher software and snowplowing costs, while marketing declined $0.2 million due to donations to support capital campaigns within our communities in fourth quarter 2024 and other noninterest expense declined $0.4 million mostly within legal and professional fees.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This communication contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted common share, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity, and tangible common equity to tangible assets. Management believes such measures to be helpful to management, investors and others in understanding Nicolet's results of operations and financial position. When non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the GAAP financial measures, are provided. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)" below. The non-GAAP net income measure and related reconciliation provide information useful to investors in understanding the operating performance and trends of Nicolet and also aid investors in comparing Nicolet's financial performance to the financial performance of peer banks. Management considers non-GAAP financial ratios to be critical metrics with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strengths. While non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

* During fourth quarter 2024, Nicolet changed the annualization methodology 
utilized for the calculation of net interest margin from actual/360 to 
actual/actual to be more consistent with the methodology typically used by 
peer banks and to cause quarterly results to be more consistent with annual 
results. Prior periods have been restated for this change in methodology. 
There was no change to the reported average balances or interest recognized. 
(1)    Income statement-related ratios for partial-year periods are 
       annualized.

* During fourth quarter 2024, Nicolet changed the annualization methodology 
utilized for the calculation of net interest margin from actual/360 to 
actual/actual to be more consistent with the methodology typically used by 
peer banks and to cause quarterly results to be more consistent with annual 
results. Prior periods have been restated for this change in methodology. 
There was no change to the reported average balances or interest recognized. 
(1)    Nonaccrual loans and loans held for sale are included in the daily 
       average loan balances outstanding. 
(2)    The yield on tax-exempt loans and tax-exempt investment securities is 
       computed on a tax-equivalent basis using a federal tax rate of 21%, and 
       adjusted for the disallowance of interest expense. 
(3)    Loan purchase accounting accretion included in Total loans interest 
       above, and the related impact to net interest margin. 
(4)    Loan nonaccrual interest included in Total loans interest above, and 
       the related impact to net interest margin.
