The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Quarterly Banking Profile shows first-quarter net income grew 16.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. However, when excluding the effects of the acquisition of two failed banks on the acquirers' incomes, the quarter-over-quarter net income would have remained relatively flat. Total deposits declined for the fourth consecutive quarter and at a faster rate than in prior quarters.

The growth in net income was driven by strong noninterest income, which includes the accounting treatment of the acquisition of the two failed institutions and the record-high trading revenue at large banks. Net interest income declined, and noninterest expenses increased, contributing to a more modest overall increase in net income.

First-quarter profits for Nebraska banks were 5.15% lower than during the same period in 2022 but remained steady from the previous quarter. Deposits were up 2.31% from the fourth quarter of last year.

Federal Reserve Report Examines Bank Deposit Runs

A new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis calls recent runs on bank deposits historically "extraordinarily fast and large." It points to the connected, concentrated nature of the depositors at the failed banks as a defining factor in the speed and size of the deposit runs. "The depositors at Silvergate, Signature and SVB were heavily concentrated in specific industries and connected to each other. As a result, these depositors were much more likely to behave in coordinated or similar ways," the report states.

Overdraft, NSF Revenues Decline

According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), overdraft and non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee revenue decreased by 48% between the fourth quarters of 2019 and 2022. The CFPB attributes this reduction to changes in bank policies related to overdraft and NSF fees. The CFPB also stated its intention to continue monitoring overdraft and NSF fees and is considering potential rulemaking activities related to these fees.
