AURORA, IL / ACCESSWIRE / October 18, 2023 / Old Second Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company," "Old Second," "we," "us," and "our") (NASDAQ:OSBC), the parent company of Old Second National Bank (the "Bank"), today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2023. Our net income was $24.3 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $25.6 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023, and net income of $19.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes Visa portfolio and land trust portfolio gains on sale, Visa portfolio liquidation and deconversion costs, and any merger-related costs, as applicable, was $24.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $25.6 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023, and $19.6 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022. See the discussion entitled "Non-GAAP Presentations" below and the tables beginning on page 17 of the full earnings release found under the investor relations tab at oldsecond.com which provides a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
Net income decreased $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the increase of $1.0 million in provision for credit losses, and an increase in noninterest expense of $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, which were partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in noninterest income and a $1.3 million decrease in provision for income taxes. Net income increased $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $7.5 million year over year due to rising market interest rates and a $1.5 million decrease in provision for credit losses. The increase in net income in the third quarter of 2023 was partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in noninterest income and a $1.4 million increase in noninterest expense. The third quarter of 2023 was impacted by a pre-tax net loss on the sale of securities of $924,000, compared to pre-tax net losses on the sale of securities of $1.5 million and $1,000 in the second quarter of 2023 and the third quarter of 2022, respectively. In addition, the third quarter of 2023 was also impacted by $629,000 of deconversion and liquidation costs from the 2022 sale of our Visa credit card portfolio.

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Eccher said "Old Second reported strong results in the third quarter as we earned $24.3 million in net income, ROAA of 1.67% and ROATCE of 22.80%. Adjusting for merger-related expenses, the gain on the land trust sale and Visa portfolio-related items, our earnings per share increased by 28% over the third quarter 2022. Our tangible book value per share has increased by more than 30% over the last year and capital ratios continue to build very quickly with our tangible common equity ratio increasing by 50 basis points on a linked quarter basis to 7.67%. Our focus over the near term will continue to be on assessing risks both within the loan portfolio and more broadly and optimizing the earning asset mix while reducing our overall sensitivity to interest rates. We believe the ability to deliver exceptional returns and compound book value, at a time when marginal spreads in deposit and lending markets are tight, illustrates the quality of the franchise we have built. With a strong balance sheet, low-cost granular funding and continuing excellent overall profitability, Old Second is well positioned for the remainder of 2023 and beyond."
Asset Quality & Earning Assets
Non-GAAP Presentations
Management has disclosed in this earnings release certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and measure our performance, including the presentation of adjusted net income, net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis, and our efficiency ratio calculations on a taxable equivalent basis. The net interest margin fully taxable equivalent is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average earning assets for the period. Consistent with industry practice, management has disclosed the efficiency ratio including and excluding certain items, which is discussed in the noninterest expense presentation on page 7 of the full filing of this release; see the investor relations tab at oldsecond.com for this full release.
We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision-making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe these measures provide investors with information regarding balance sheet profitability, and we believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing, and comparing past, present and future periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, and we strongly encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this earnings 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 earnings release with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. The tables beginning on page 17 of the full filing of this release provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent; see the investor relations tab at oldsecond.com for the full release.
