Amalgamated Financial Corp. Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
NEW YORK – (Globe Newswire) -- April 28, 2022: Amalgamated Financial Corp. (the “Company” or “Amalgamated”) (Nasdaq: AMAL), the holding company for Amalgamated Bank (the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

•Deposits increased $617.2 million to $7.0 billion and political deposits increased by $159.9 million to $1.1 billion on a linked quarter basis.
•Industry leading cost of deposits was 0.09%, where non-interest bearing deposits comprised 54% of total deposits.
•Loans, including net deferred costs increased $158.0 million, or 4.8%, to $3.4 billion, on a linked quarter basis.
•PACE assessments grew $96.2 million to $723.6 million on a linked quarter basis, comprised of a $75.5 million increase in residential and a $20.7 million increase in commercial.
•Net interest income grew $1.3 million to $48.4 million as compared to $47.1 million, while the net interest margin remained consistent at 2.76%, compared to 2.77%, each on a linked quarter basis.
•Credit quality improved with criticized assets declining $51.6 million, or 22.3%, to $179.3 million on a linked quarter basis and by $155.0 million, or 46.4%, on a year over year basis.

Priscilla Sims Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our first quarter results demonstrate continued momentum for Amalgamated’s socially responsible product portfolio, as we continue to execute on the four pillars of our “Growth For Good” strategy. We achieved loan growth of 4.8% while emphasizing responsible lending to quality creditors. We continue to invest in our lending platform to meet rising demand for the services we provide to change-makers and organizations that are focused on sustainability, economic justice, community financing and other social causes. We are confident we will deliver high-single-digit loan growth in 2022 and sustained profitability.” She continued, “As we progress through 2022, we expect to further improve performance metrics and valuation through prudent use of capital and a focus on shareholder returns. We believe our balance sheet is well positioned to capitalize on the current rising interest rate environment and our industry leading low cost deposit franchise enables us to drive incremental net interest income and profitability.”
Results of Operations, Quarter Ended March 31, 2022
Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $14.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $15.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $12.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021. The $1.7 million decrease for the first quarter of 2022 from the preceding quarter was primarily the result of the $5.0 million decrease in non-interest income reflecting reduced tax credits on solar equity investments in the first quarter, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in net interest income, a $1.3 million decrease in the provision for loan loss, and a $0.6 million decrease in non-interest expense.
Core net income (non-GAAP)1 for the first quarter of 2022 was $14.4 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $16.8 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $13.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the first

quarter of 2021. Excluded from core net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $0.2 million of non-interest income gains on the sale of securities and $0.4 million of non-interest expenses related to the now-terminated planned merger with Amalgamated Bank of Chicago (“ABOC”), and for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $0.1 million of non-interest income losses on the sale of securities and $0.9 million of non-interest expenses related to ABOC. Excluded from core net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $1.1 million of severance expenses related to the modernization of our Trust department and its related tax impact.
Core net income excluding the effect of tax credits and accelerated deprecation from our solar investments (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2022 was $14.3 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $12.7 million or $0.40 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $15.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021. Excluded from the results was $0.1 million of tax credits (recorded as Equity method non-interest income) for the first quarter of 2022, $5.3 million of tax credits in the fourth quarter of 2021, and $3.8 million of accelerated depreciation (recorded as Equity method non-interest contra income) in the first quarter of 2021. Presentation of the exclusion of the temporary effect of these items reduces the financial statement volatility associated with these investments.
Net interest income was $48.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $47.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $41.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. The $1.3 million increase from the preceding quarter mainly reflected higher income on securities, offset by a decrease in interest income on loans despite average loan balances being up quarter over quarter due to the timing of the loan originations. Adjusted for a $1.0 million one-time recapture of interest income on a reinstated loan recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, loan interest income was flat on a linked quarter basis. The $6.6 million increase from the first quarter of 2021 was primarily attributable to an increase in average securities of $1.1 billion as well as higher yields from our PACE asset originations during the year.
Net interest margin was 2.76% for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of one basis point from 2.77% in the fourth quarter of 2021, and a decrease of nine basis points from 2.85% in the first quarter of 2021. Prepayment penalties earned in loan income contributed three basis points to our net interest margin in the first quarter of 2022, compared to two basis points in the fourth quarter of 2021 and four basis points in the first quarter of 2021.
Provision for loan losses totaled an expense of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to an expense of $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and a recovery of $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2021. The expense in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by higher loan balances, and a $0.4 million charge-off related to a loan that was transferred to held for sale, partially offset by improved credit quality.
Non-interest income was $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $12.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $4.0 million for the first quarter in 2021. The $5.0 million decrease compared to the preceding quarter was primarily driven by the tax credits on solar equity investments in the prior quarter. The $3.4 million increase compared to the corresponding quarter in 2021 was primarily due to a gain of $0.4 million related to equity investments in solar initiatives in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a $3.8 million loss in the first quarter in 2021. This is due to the timing of tax credits and subsequent losses generated before reaching a steady flow of income. These impacts do not include any benefits of new solar equity investments that we may make in the future.
Core non-interest income excluding the effect of tax credits and accelerated deprecation from our solar investments (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2022 was $7.4 million, compared to $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $7.8 million, for the first quarter of 2021. Excluded from the results was $0.1 million of tax credits (recorded as Equity method non-interest income) for the first quarter of 2022, $5.3 million of tax credits in the fourth quarter of 2021, and $3.8 million of accelerated depreciation (recorded as Equity method non-interest contra income) in the first quarter of 2021.
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $34.4 million, a decrease of $0.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2021 and an increase of $1.6 million from the first quarter of 2021. The decrease from the preceding quarter is primarily driven by a $0.5 million decrease in ABOC related costs. The increase from the first quarter of 2021 is primarily driven by
2
a $2.2 million increase in data processing related to the modernization of our Trust Department, offset by decreases in professional fees.
Our provision for income tax expense was $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $4.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2021. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 25.8%, compared to 23.6% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 25.4% for the first quarter of 2021.
Financial Condition
Total assets were $7.7 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $7.1 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase of $0.6 billion was driven primarily by a $43.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $410.4 million increase in investment securities, of which $96.2 million was from PACE assessments, as well as a $158.0 million increase in loans receivable, net.
Total loans, including net deferred costs at March 31, 2022 were $3.4 billion, an increase of $158.0 million, compared to December 31, 2021. The increase in loans was primarily driven by a $79.5 million increase in residential loans mainly from direct originations and a $97.6 million increase in our consumer and other loans, primarily driven by solar loan originations from existing flow arrangements, offset by a combined $19.9 million decrease in the commercial portfolio as payoffs exceeded originations. The volume of payoffs is a result of our continued focus on credit quality improvement in the commercial portfolio with $20.3 million of payoffs from criticized loans in addition to certain other pass grade loans.
Deposits at March 31, 2022 were $7.0 billion, an increase of $617.2 million, as compared to $6.4 billion as of December 31, 2021. Deposits held by politically active customers, such as campaigns, PACs, advocacy-based organizations, and state and national party committees were $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2022, an increase of $159.9 million compared to $989.6 million as of December 31, 2021. Noninterest-bearing deposits represent 53% of average deposits and 54% of ending deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, contributing to an average cost of deposits of 0.09% in the first quarter of 2022, representing no change from the preceding quarter.
Nonperforming assets totaled $61.1 million, or 0.80% of period-end total assets at March 31, 2022, an increase of $6.5 million, compared with $54.6 million, or 0.77% of period-end total assets at December 31, 2021. The increase in non-performing assets at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by a multi-loan new troubled debt restructuring totaling $10.5 million from the same borrower relationship, offset by a $5.1 million decrease in residential nonaccrual loans. While nonperforming assets increased, overall credit quality improved with criticized assets declining $51.6 million, or 22.3%, to $179.3 million on a linked quarter basis and by $155.0 million, or 46.4%, on a year over year basis.
The allowance for loan losses increased $1.6 million to $37.5 million at March 31, 2022 from $35.9 million at December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in loan balances. At March 31, 2022, we had $58.2 million of impaired loans for which a specific allowance of $4.6 million was made, compared to $53.2 million of impaired loans at December 31, 2021 for which a specific allowance of $5.1 million was made. The ratio of allowance to total loans was 1.08% at March 31, 2022 and 1.08% at December 31, 2021.
Capital
As of March 31, 2022, our Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 12.36%, Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 15.16%, and Tier-1 Leverage Capital Ratio was 7.34%, compared to 12.98%, 15.95% and 7.62%, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2022 was $526.8 million, compared to $563.9 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in stockholders’ equity was primarily driven by a $46.3 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the tax effected mark to market on our securities portfolio and a $2.5 million decrease in additional paid-in capital, partially offset by $14.2 million of net income.
3
Our tangible book value per share was $16.45 as of March 31, 2022 compared to $17.56 as of December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of a $46.3 million decline from the previous quarter in the tax effected mark-to-market adjustment for the fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio. The mark-to-market adjustment has no impact on our Tier 1 Capital Ratio or other Risk based ratios.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release (and the accompanying financial information and tables) refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures including, without limitation, “Core operating revenue,” “Core non-interest expense,” “Core net income,” “Tangible common equity,” “Average tangible common equity,” “Core return on average assets,” “Core return on average tangible common equity,” and “Core efficiency ratio.”
Our management utilizes this information to compare our operating performance for March 31, 2022 versus certain periods in 2021 and to prepare internal projections. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate making period-to-period comparisons and are meaningful indications of our operating performance. In addition, because intangible assets such as goodwill and other discrete items unrelated to our core business, which are excluded, vary extensively from company to company, we believe that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare our results to those of other companies.
4
The presentation of non-GAAP financial information, however, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. We strongly encourage readers to review the GAAP financial measures included in this release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial disclosures to comparable GAAP measures found in this release are set forth in the final pages of this release and also may be viewed on our website, amalgamatedbank.com.
Terminology
Certain terms used in this release are defined as follows:
“Core operating revenue” is defined as total net interest income plus non-interest income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and gains on the sale of owned property. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the total of net interest income and non-interest income.
“Core non-interest expense” is defined as total non-interest expense excluding costs related to any branch closures and restructuring/severance costs. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total non-interest expense.
“Core net income” is defined as net income after tax excluding gains and losses on sales of securities, gains on the sale of owned property, costs related to any branch closures, restructuring/severance costs, any acquisition costs, and taxes on notable pre-tax items. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income.
“Tangible common equity”, and “Tangible book value” are defined as stockholders’ equity excluding, as applicable, minority interests, preferred stock, goodwill and core deposit intangibles. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total stockholders’ equity.
“Core return on average assets” is defined as “Core net income” divided by average total assets. We believe the most directly comparable performance ratio derived from GAAP financial measures is return on average assets calculated by dividing net income by average total assets.
“Core return on average tangible common equity” is defined as “Core net income” divided by “Average tangible common equity.” We believe the most directly comparable performance ratio derived from GAAP financial measures is return on average equity calculated by dividing net income by average total stockholders’ equity.
“Core efficiency ratio” is defined as “Core non-interest expense” divided by “Core operating revenue.” We believe the most directly comparable performance ratio derived from GAAP financial measures is an efficiency ratio calculated by dividing total non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and total non-interest income.

3 Safe Harbor Statements cont. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures including, without limitation, “Core Operating Revenue,” “Core Non-interest Expense,” “Tangible Common Equity,” “Average Tangible Common Equity,” “Core Efficiency Ratio,” “Core Net Income,” “Core ROAA,” and “Core ROATCE.” We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures (a) allow management and investors to better assess our performance by removing volatility that is associated with discrete items that are unrelated to our core business, and (b) enable a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Non-GAAP financial measures, however, have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP financial measures, and we strongly encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this presentation and not to place undue reliance on any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial disclosures to what we believe to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures found in this presentation are set forth in the final pages of this presentation and also may be viewed on the bank’s website, amalgamatedbank.com. You should assume that all numbers presented are unaudited unless otherwise noted.
