KANSAS CITY, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UMB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: UMBF), a financial services company, announced results for the first quarter of 2020. “On a GAAP basis, we reported a net loss of $3.4 million, driven by the adoption of a new accounting standard on January 1, 2020, which resulted in significantly higher provision expense based on the possibility of future credit losses under the current environment created by the COVID-19 crisis,” said Mariner Kemper, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Excluding this impact, business and financial results remained strong as demonstrated by a 5.6 percent increase in pre-tax pre-provision income, to $83.7 million, from the linked quarter. As many industry participants have noted, the ill-timed adoption of this new accounting standard has resulted in adding more undue volatility in this critical environment and rendered comparability of financial results across the banking industry extremely difficult.”
2020 First Quarter Highlights
- Average loan balances increased $385 million, or 11.6 percent, on a linked-quarter annualized basis.
- Average deposits grew $439 million to $20.8 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.
- GAAP book value per share of $55.33, a 15.5 percent increase, and tangible book value per share of $51.04, a 16.1 percent increase compared to a year ago.
- Efficiency ratio improved to 68.93 percent compared to 70.00 percent a year ago.
- Credit quality remained strong, with net charge-offs of just 0.23 percent of average loans, consistent with the company’s historical performance.
“As we, as a nation, navigate our way through this unprecedented and challenging time, I have never been prouder of how the banking industry and UMB associates have rallied in response to the COVID-19 crisis,” said Kemper. “Our deepest gratitude goes to all those at the frontline combating this crisis. We are humbled to be in a position to offer critical financial support and services to our clients as we all adapt to these global impacts. As we’ve worked through the CARES Act legislation and helped our customers navigate the Paycheck Protection Program during the past few weeks, I have been inspired by the enduring sense of service, duty and patriotic responsibility demonstrated by UMB associates. To date, we have processed more than 3,000 applications in excess of $1.4 billion as part of this program. Our capital and liquidity remain strong. Our legacy is built on being there for our customers and communities, and our history of prudent risk management gives us the strength and flexibility to serve our customers in their greatest hour of need.”
For the first quarter of 2020, the company recognized a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $66.5 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019 (linked quarter) and net income of $57.7 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019. The results for 2020 include significantly higher provision expense related to the implementation of the current expected credit losses (CECL) methodology for estimating allowance for credit losses, including the current and forecasted economic downturn related to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
Pre-tax, pre-provision income (PTPP), a non-GAAP measure which is reconciled to the nearest comparable GAAP measure later in this release, was $83.7 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $79.3 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, for the linked quarter, and $80.6 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019. These PTPP results represent increases of 5.6 percent on a linked-quarter basis and 3.9 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019.

Net interest income
- Net interest income totaled $173.9 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 0.9 percent, from linked quarter levels, driven by a $384.7 million, or 2.9 percent, increase in average loans, and a 4.3 percent increase in average earning assets. These benefits were offset by the impact of recent reductions in short-term interest rates on net interest margin.
- Net interest spread of 2.67 percent for the first quarter represents an increase of one basis point as compared to the linked quarter despite a 150-basis-point reduction in short-term interest rates.
- Net interest margin for the first quarter was 2.97 percent, down five basis points from the linked quarter, in large part due to lower short-term interest rates. Earning asset yields declined 18 basis points from the linked quarter, driven by declining yields in the loan portfolio due to recent reductions in short-term interest rates. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 19 basis points to 0.91 percent, driven by an 18-basis-point decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and lower borrowing costs.
- On a year-over-year basis, the increase in net interest income was driven by a $1.3 billion, or 10.7 percent, increase in average loans, and a $0.8 billion, or 10.5 percent, increase in average investment securities. These benefits were partially offset by declining yields in the loan portfolio due to recent reductions in short-term interest rates.
- Average deposits increased 2.2 percent on a linked-quarter basis and 11.2 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposit balances increased 1.5 percent on a linked-quarter basis and 8.5 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019.
Noninterest income
-
First quarter 2020 noninterest income decreased $11.9 million, or 10.8 percent, on a linked-quarter basis, largely due to:
- Decreases of $16.6 million in company-owned life insurance income, reflecting the impact of lower market valuations of the underlying investments, and $0.8 million in derivative income, both recorded in other income. The decrease in company-owned life insurance income is offset by a proportionate decrease in deferred compensation expense noted below.
- A decrease of $5.0 million in trading and investment banking, primarily driven by a decrease of $3.5 million in market valuation of investments in the company’s trading portfolio due to the overall market decline in March.
-
These decreases were partially offset by the following increases:
- An increase of $5.7 million in healthcare income, recorded in service charges on deposits, related to customer transfer and conversion fees recorded in the first quarter.
- An increase of $1.0 million in brokerage fees, primarily driven by higher 12b-1 income.
- An increase of $2.0 million in equity earnings on alternative investments and a $1.9 million gain on the sale of a building, both recorded in other income.
-
Compared to the prior year, noninterest income in the first quarter of 2020 decreased $9.0 million, or 8.3 percent, primarily driven by:
- Decreases of $19.2 million in company-owned life insurance and $1.1 million in derivative income, both recorded in other income. The decrease in company-owned life insurance income is offset by a proportionate decrease in deferred compensation expense noted below.
- A decrease of $3.9 million in trading and investment banking, primarily driven by a decrease of $4.3 million in market valuations of investments in the company’s trading portfolio due to the overall market decline in March.
-
These decreases were partially offset by the following increases:
- An increase of $5.0 million in trust and securities processing, driven by an increase of $2.7 million in corporate trust income and $1.8 million in fund servicing revenue.
- An increase of $3.8 million in service charges on deposits, largely driven by healthcare customer transfer and conversion fees recorded in the first quarter of 2020 in the company’s healthcare services business.
- An increase of $2.6 million in brokerage fees, due to higher 12b-1 and money market income.
- An increase of $1.9 million in equity earnings on alternative investments and a $1.9 million gain on sale of other assets, both recorded in other income.

- GAAP noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2020 was $188.6 million, a decrease of $14.8 million, or 7.3 percent, from the linked quarter and a decrease of $2.0 million, or 1.1 percent, from the first quarter of 2019.
-
The linked quarter decrease in noninterest expense was driven by:
- A decrease of $9.7 million in salaries and employee benefits, largely driven by a $15.7 million decrease in deferred compensation expense, which is offset by the decrease in company-owned life insurance income noted above. Additionally, there was a decrease of $2.0 million in bonus and commission expense. These decreases were partially offset by a seasonal increase of $8.1 million in payroll taxes, insurance, and 401(k) expense recognized in the first quarter.
- A decrease of $3.9 million in legal and consulting expense and $3.7 million in marketing and business development due to the timing of multiple projects.
- A decrease of $2.1 million in supplies and services expense largely driven by a decline in postage expense related to reduced credit card campaign mailings in the first quarter of 2020.
- These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $4.2 million in derivative expense, recorded in other expense.
-
The year-over-year decrease in noninterest expense was driven by:
- A $5.0 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits, primarily due to a decrease of $15.5 million in employee benefits expense, offset by increases of $6.0 million in salary and wage expense and $4.5 million in bonus and commission expense. The decrease in employee benefits expense was primarily driven by a decrease of $18.0 million in deferred compensation expense, which is offset by the decrease in company-owned life insurance income noted above.
- These decreases were partially offset by increases of $1.6 million in equipment expense and $1.3 million in processing fees due to investments in digital channel and integrated platform solutions to support business growth and the ongoing modernization of the company’s core systems.
Income taxes
- The company recognized an income tax benefit of $0.8 million, or 19.2 percent, on a pre-tax loss of $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to income tax expense of $10.5 million, or 15.4 percent, on pre-tax income of $68.3 million for the same period in 2019. The amount of tax benefit recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflects management’s estimate of the annual effective tax rate applied to the year-to-date loss adjusted for the tax impact of items discrete to the quarter.
Balance sheet
- Average total assets for the first quarter of 2020 were $26.0 billion compared to $25.1 billion for the linked quarter and $22.9 billion for the same period in 2019.

- On January 1, 2020, the company adopted CECL, a new accounting standard that establishes an allowance for credit losses (ACL) on all financial assets. The ACL is based on an estimation of credit losses over the full remaining expected life with consideration to current and expected changes in key macroeconomic conditions.
- At adoption on January 1, 2020, the company’s ACL increased by $9.0 million, or 8.9 percent. This increase in the ACL resulted in a $7.0 million decrease to retained earnings, net of deferred tax balances.
- The subsequent increase in ACL and provision through March 31, 2020 largely reflects the impact of the current and forecasted deterioration of key macroeconomic variables related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to a lesser extent, to cover net charge-offs, loan growth, and the impairment of one commercial loan transferred to nonaccrual status.
- Provision for credit losses for the first quarter totaled $88.0 million, an increase of $86.0 million from the linked quarter, and $75.7 million from the first quarter of 2019. The provision expense for 2020 includes increased provision expense related to the implementation of CECL, coupled with the impact on various economic variables due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Increased expense for credit loss provision under CECL resulted in a buildup of reserves which now stand at a strong 1.3 percent of assets at amortized cost.
- Net charge-offs totaled $7.7 million, or 0.23 percent, of average loans, compared to $7.6 million, or 0.23 percent, of average loans in the linked quarter.
Dividend Declaration and Common Share Repurchase Authorization
At the company’s quarterly board meeting, the Board of Directors declared a $0.31 per share quarterly cash dividend, payable on July 1, 2020, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 10, 2020.
As in prior years, the Board has approved the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of the company’s common stock. Share repurchases may occur from time to time at any point until the regular meeting of the Board that immediately follows the 2021 annual meeting of the company’s shareholders. Shares acquired under the repurchase program may be available for reissuance or resale, including in connection with the company’s compensation plans and dividend reinvestment plan. Under the repurchase program, the company may acquire the shares from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, at the discretion of management.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
In this release, we provide information about net operating (loss) income, operating (losses) earnings per share – diluted (operating EPS), operating return on average equity (operating ROE), operating return on average assets (operating ROA), operating noninterest expense, operating efficiency ratio, pre-tax, pre-provision income, pre-tax, pre-provision earnings per share – diluted (PTPP EPS), tangible shareholders’ equity, and tangible book value per share, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. This information supplements the results that are reported according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. The differences between the non-GAAP financial measures – net operating income, operating EPS, operating ROE, operating ROA, operating noninterest expense, operating efficiency ratio, PTPP, PTPP EPS, tangible shareholders’ equity, and tangible book value per share – and the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures are reconciled later in this release.
