Forward guidance
Amerant expects to achieve a number of near-term digital milestones, including a full rollout of Salesforce CRM across all business lines and support functions as well as nCino for Commercial use by the end of the year. nCino for retail use is expected to be rolled out next year.
Tailwinds
- The Company expects to reprice CDs at lower market rates upon maturity over the next two quarters bringing down the average cost of CDs by approximately 50bps
- Amerant continued to aggressively reprice deposits and seek lower-rate alternatives to replace brokered CDs
- Actively implement floor rates in the loan portfolio
- Assess risk and increase spreads during extensions and renewals in order to optimize yields
- Maximize high-yield investments consisting primarily of financial institutions subordinated debt
Headwinds
- Ongoing low-interest rate environment will continue to pressure NII and NIM
- Potential runoff of Amerant’s low-cost foreign deposits will continue to pressure NII and NIM
- Loan production across all segments in the third quarter of 2020 continued to be challenged by the decline in economic activity and more stringent credit underwriting standards associated with the pandemic
- Lower NII versus the second quarter of 2020 is mainly due to lower average market rates on variable-rate loans, declines in average yields and balances on securities available for sale and the full-quarter impact of interest costs associated with the senior notes issued in late June.
- The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly driven by higher salaries and employee benefits and other operating expenses related to the absence of the deferral of direct origination costs associated with the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) recorded in the second quarter of 2020, FDIC assessments and insurance as well as marketing expenses, partially offset by a decrease in professional and other services fees.
