Japan firms must prepare for Trump tariff fallout, Suntory chief says in Davos

By Divya Chowdhury and Rocky Swift

DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) – Japanese companies remain bullish about investing in the United States but need to prepare for supply chain shocks that could arise during Donald Trump’s presidency, the chief executive of drinks giant Suntory Holdings said on Wednesday.

Takeshi Niinami, who also heads one of Japan’s biggest business lobbies, said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Davos meeting that it is important for firms to show that their investments will create jobs in the U.S..

A survey last week showed that most Japanese firms operating in the United States are bracing for new tariffs.

“Tariff imposing by the Trump administration would create huge, unexpected changes in the supply chain landscape,” Niinami told the Reuters Global Markets Forum.

“Japanese companies have to be agile to respond to any change,” he added.

Japan maintains a sizable trade surplus with the U.S., a sore point for Trump, but that friction may ease as the Asian nation bulks up its military through purchases of American-made weapons, he said.

Niinami, 65, is one of Japan’s most influential executives, serving as chair of the Keizai Doyukai business lobby and as an economic adviser to former prime ministers.

In 2014, he became the first non-founding family member to lead century-old Suntory, engineering a $16 billion takeover of U.S. spirits maker Beam that year. He will cede the role of president to Nobuhiro Torii, the great-grandson of Suntory’s founder, in March while remaining CEO.

Niinami held out hope that Nippon Steel’s $14.9 billion bid for U.S. Steel could be revived after the deal was blocked by then President Joe Biden earlier this month.

Nippon Steel has sued to overturn Biden’s decision. If the Japanese firm can make the case that the companies would be stronger together against China and can revitalise U.S. industry, that may sway the case, Niinami said.

As for his own company, Suntory is reconsidering investments in China due to a lack of positive signs in the market, but it is eager to grow in India through local partnerships and manufacturing.

“We want to be somebody in India,” he said.

  • Abbott projects full-year 2025 organic sales growth to be in the range of 7.5% to 8.5%

ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Abbott ABT today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2024.

  • Fourth-quarter sales increased 7.2 percent on a reported basis, 8.8 percent on an organic basis, and 10.1 percent on an organic basis, excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales.
  • Fourth-quarter GAAP diluted EPS of $5.27 and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.34, which excludes specified items (see table titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Financial Information”).
  • Full-year 2024 sales of $42.0 billion increased 4.6 percent on a reported basis, 7.1 percent on an organic basis, and 9.6 percent on an organic basis, excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales.
  • Full-year 2024 gross margin as a percent of sales improved 60 basis points on a GAAP basis compared to 2023 and improved 70 basis points on an adjusted basis.
  • Full-year 2024 GAAP diluted EPS of $7.64 and adjusted diluted EPS of $4.67, which excludes specified items (see table titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Financial Information”).
  • For the full-year 2024, Abbott achieved the upper end of the initial guidance ranges the company provided in January 2024 for both organic sales growth and adjusted earnings per share.
  • During 2024, Abbott announced more than 15 new growth opportunities coming from the company’s highly productive R&D pipeline. These include a combination of new product approvals and new treatment indications.
  • Abbott projects full-year 2025 organic sales growth to be in the range of 7.5% to 8.5%.
  • Abbott projects full-year 2025 adjusted operating margin to be 23.5% to 24.0% of sales, which reflects an increase of 150 basis points at the midpoint compared to 2024.
  • Abbott projects full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS of $5.05 to $5.25, which reflects double-digit growth at the midpoint.

“We finished the year with very strong momentum. Sales growth and earnings per share growth in the fourth quarter were the highest of the year,” said Robert B. Ford, chairman and chief executive officer, Abbott. “We continued our track record for delivering on our commitments by achieving the upper end of our initial guidance ranges for 2024 and are well-positioned to deliver another year of strong growth in 2025.”

FOURTH-QUARTER BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Management believes that measuring sales growth rates on an organic basis, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange and the impact of discontinuing the ZonePerfect® product line in the Nutrition business, is an appropriate way for investors to best understand the core underlying performance of the business. Management further believes that measuring sales growth rates on an organic basis excluding COVID-19 tests is an appropriate way for investors to best understand underlying base business performance in 2024, as the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted to an endemic state, resulting in significantly lower demand for COVID-19 tests.

Note: In order to compute results excluding the impact of exchange rates, current year U.S. dollar sales are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then those amounts are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the prior year average foreign exchange rates.

As expected, Diagnostics sales growth in the fourth quarter was negatively impacted by year-over-year declines in COVID-19 testing-related sales3. Worldwide COVID-19 testing sales were $176 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $288 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

Excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales, global Diagnostics sales increased 4.3 percent on a reported basis and increased 6.1 percent on an organic basis.

Excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales, growth in Rapid Diagnostics was driven by strong demand for Abbott’s portfolio of respiratory disease tests used to diagnose influenza, strep throat, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

*Abbott completed the acquisition of CSI on April 27, 2023. For purposes of calculating organic sales growth, the impact from this acquired business has been excluded from January through April 2024.

 

ABBOTT’S GUIDANCE
Abbott projects full-year 2025 organic sales growth to be in the range of 7.5% to 8.5%.

Abbott projects full-year 2025 adjusted operating margin to be 23.5% to 24.0% of sales.

Abbott projects full-year 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $5.05 to $5.25 and first-quarter 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.05 to $1.09.

Abbott has not provided the related GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis for these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the timing and impact of certain items such as restructuring and cost reduction initiatives, charges for intangible asset impairments, acquisition-related expenses, and foreign exchange, which could significantly impact Abbott’s results in accordance with GAAP. 

ABBOTT DECLARES 404th CONSECUTIVE QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
On Dec. 13, 2024, the board of directors of Abbott declared the company’s quarterly dividend of $0.59 per share. Abbott’s cash dividend is payable Feb. 14, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Jan. 15, 2025.

Abbott has increased its dividend payout for 53 consecutive years and is a member of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index, which tracks companies that have annually increased their dividend for at least 25 consecutive years.

Stock market today: Nasdaq jumps to lead US futures higher as Netflix soars, AI buzz returns

The Nasdaq led US stock futures higher on Wednesday after Donald Trump’s boost to AI demand hopes outweighed fresh tariff threats from the new US president.

Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) jumped 0.8%, bolstered by surprisingly strong earnings from Netflix (NFLX), and S&P 500 futures (ES=F) climbed 0.4%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) were up 0.1%, coming off a rise of over 500 points on a winning Tuesday on Wall Street.

Trump is in the driving seat for markets, with investors on alert for any fresh move in the president’s fast-flowing overhaul of policy. His latest push to make the US a leader in AI — an $500 billion private-sector investment plan and a roll-back of Biden-era safety measures — continued to give a bump to techs.

Shares in Oracle (ORCL), a partner in the “Stargate” venture, continued to rise, up almost 9% in pre-market trading on the prospect of higher AI spending. In Tokyo, SoftBank (9984.T, SFTBY) stock jumped 10%.

Meanwhile, Netflix stock soared 15% in early trading after it reported record new subscriber additions and beats on earnings and revenue.

Spirits were high despite heightened worries about a Trump-spurred trade war. The president said Tuesday his administration was considering imposing a 10% duty on China imports on Feb. 1, as he vowed to hit the EU with additional tariffs.

The stepped-up tariff threats come after US stocks rallied on Tuesday amid relief that China wasn’t targeted in Trump’s first policy moves, which promised new duties for Mexico and Canada. Chinese stocks fell on Wednesday as markets were rattled by the new trade-defense plan.

Earnings continued to roll in. Before the bell, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) posted quarterly sales and profit above estimates thanks to strong sales of cancer treatments. Shares of Procter & Gamble (PG) popped after its sales also beat forecasts.

HBT Financial, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Fourth Quarter Highlights

  • Net income of $20.3 million, or $0.64 per diluted share; return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 1.61%; return on average stockholders’ equity (“ROAE”) of 14.89%; and return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”)(1) of 17.40%
  • Adjusted net income(1) of $19.5 million; or $0.62 per diluted share; adjusted ROAA(1) of 1.56%; adjusted ROAE(1) of 14.36%; and adjusted ROATCE(1) of 16.77%
  • Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.16% and net charge-offs to average loans of 0.08%, on an annualized basis
  • Net interest margin and net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis)(1) nearly unchanged at 3.96% and 4.01%, respectively

BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HBT Financial, Inc. HBT (the “Company” or “HBT Financial” or “HBT”), the holding company for Heartland Bank and Trust Company, today reported net income of $20.3 million, or $0.64 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. This compares to net income of $18.2 million, or $0.57 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2024, and net income of $18.4 million, or $0.58 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

J. Lance Carter, President and Chief Executive Officer of HBT Financial, said, “We ended 2024 with another quarter of strong earnings. Adjusted net income(1) of $19.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, increased from $19.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024. Underpinning this strong financial performance was our resilient net interest margin (tax equivalent basis)(1) of 4.01% for the fourth quarter of 2024, down only 2 basis points from the third quarter of 2024 despite the Federal Reserve cutting the federal funds target range by 100 basis points since September 18, 2024. Our strong earnings generated good returns with adjusted ROAA(1) of 1.56% and adjusted ROATCE(1) of 16.77% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 1.50% and 17.19%, respectively, for the full year of 2024. Tangible book value per share(1) continued to increase during the quarter and has increased 14.7% during 2024. In addition to our strong earnings and profitability, our balance sheet remains strong with all capital ratios increasing during the fourth quarter of 2024. Finally, asset quality remains exceptional with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.16% at December 31, 2024 and net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis of only 0.08% during the fourth quarter of 2024 and 0.05% for the full year of 2024.

Looking ahead to 2025, we feel confident that our balance sheet is well positioned to absorb the market’s interest rate outlook, our capital levels and operational structure support attractive acquisition opportunities should the right opportunity arise, and our asset quality remains strong with no significant signs of stress in any specific sector.”
____________________________________

Adjusted Net Income

In addition to reporting GAAP results, the Company believes non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which adjust for acquisition expenses, branch closure expenses, gains (losses) on closed branch premises, net earnings (losses) from closed or sold operations, realized gains (losses) on sales of securities, mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustments, and the tax effect of these pre-tax adjustments, provide investors with additional insight into its operational performance. The Company reported adjusted net income of $19.5 million, or $0.62 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. This compares to adjusted net income of $19.2 million, or $0.61 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2024, and adjusted net income of $19.3 million, or $0.60 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2023 (see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables below for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most closely comparable GAAP financial measures).

Cash Dividend

On January 21, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share on the Company’s common stock (the “Dividend”). The Dividend is payable on February 11, 2025 to shareholders of record as of February 4, 2025. This represents an increase of $0.02 from the previous quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share.

Mr. Carter noted, “We are very pleased to announce that our strong financial performance and capital ratios have enabled us to further increase our quarterly cash dividend by $0.02 per share, or 10.5%, while maintaining more than sufficient capital to support the continued growth of the Company.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $47.4 million, a decrease of 0.7% from $47.7 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower yields on loans and deposits with banks, driven by the recent cuts to short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve, which were mostly offset by lower funding costs and higher yields on debt securities.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, net interest income increased 0.7% from $47.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to improved interest-earning asset yields which were mostly offset by an increase in funding costs.

Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 3.96%, compared to 3.98% for the third quarter of 2024, and net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis)(1) for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 4.01%, compared to 4.03% for the third quarter of 2024. Lower loan yields, which decreased 13 basis points to 6.32%, were largely offset by a decrease in funding costs, with the cost of funds decreasing 8 basis points to 1.39%, and an increase in debt securities yields, which increased 9 basis points to 2.41%.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, net interest margin increased 3 basis points from 3.93% and net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis)(1) increased 2 basis points from 3.99%. These increases were primarily attributable to increases in interest-earning asset yields outpacing increases in funding costs.
____________________________________
(1) See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most closely comparable GAAP financial measures.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $11.6 million, an increase from $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to changes in the mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) fair value adjustment, with a $1.3 million positive MSR fair value adjustment included in the fourth quarter 2024 results compared to a $1.5 million negative MSR fair value adjustment included in the third quarter 2024 results. Additionally, a $0.5 million increase in wealth management fees was primarily driven by an increase in farm real estate brokerage fees, and a $0.2 million increase in income on bank owned life insurance was primarily attributable to a $0.2 million gain on life insurance proceeds. Partially offsetting these increases was a $0.3 million loss on the sale of $2.4 million of debt securities during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, noninterest income increased 26.3% from $9.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.3 million positive MSR fair value adjustment included in the fourth quarter 2024 results compared to a $1.2 million negative MSR fair value adjustment included in the fourth quarter 2023 results.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $30.9 million, a 1.3% decrease from $31.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.5 million decrease in salaries, primarily driven by lower vacation accruals, and a $0.3 million decrease in employee benefits, primarily driven by lower medical benefits expense. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $0.4 million increase in data processing expense.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, noninterest expense increased 1.7% from $30.4 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.4 million increase in data processing expense and a $0.3 million increase in occupancy expense, driven in part by planned building maintenance projects. These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in marketing and customer relations expense.

On February 1, 2023, HBT Financial completed its acquisition of Town and Country Financial Corporation (“Town and Country”) with the core system conversion successfully completed in April 2023. Acquisition-related expenses recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 are summarized below.

Total loans outstanding, before allowance for credit losses, were $3.47 billion at December 31, 2024, compared with $3.37 billion at September 30, 2024, and $3.40 billion at December 31, 2023. The $96.3 million increase from September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to new originations to recurring customers and higher usage on existing lines of credit in our commercial and industrial portfolio. Higher line usage in our commercial and industrial portfolio was driven in part by a $11.3 million seasonal increase in grain elevator line balances as well as $12.0 million drawn on two customers’ lines which were funded shortly before and paid off shortly after year-end.

Deposits

Total deposits were $4.32 billion at December 31, 2024, compared with $4.28 billion at September 30, 2024, and $4.40 billion at December 31, 2023. The $37.6 million increase from September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to higher balances maintained in retail accounts and a $17.2 million increase in wealth management customer reciprocal deposits included in money market accounts. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in public funds and a $30.0 million decrease in brokered deposits due to planned repayment at scheduled maturity.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans totaled $7.7 million, or 0.22% of total loans, at December 31, 2024, compared with $8.2 million, or 0.24% of total loans, at September 30, 2024, and $7.9 million, or 0.23% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. Additionally, of the $7.7 million of nonperforming loans held as of December 31, 2024, $1.6 million is either wholly or partially guaranteed by the U.S. government. The $0.5 million decrease in nonperforming loans from September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to a decrease in one-to-four family residential nonaccrual balances.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses primarily reflects a $1.5 million increase in required reserves driven by increased loan balances and changes within the portfolio; a $0.6 million decrease in required reserves resulting from changes in economic forecasts; and a $0.2 million decrease in specific reserves.

The Company had net charge-offs of $0.7 million, or 0.08% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net charge-offs of $0.6 million, or 0.07% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the third quarter of 2024, and net charge-offs of $0.5 million, or 0.06% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses was 1.21% of total loans and 549% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2024, compared with 1.22% of total loans and 499% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2024. In addition, the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending-related commitments totaled $3.1 million as of December 31, 2024, compared with $4.1 million as of September 30, 2024.

Capital

As of December 31, 2024, the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under Basel III as summarized in the following table:

    December 31, 2024   For Capital
Adequacy Purposes
With Capital
Conservation Buffer
         
Total capital to risk-weighted assets   16.51 %   10.50 %
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets   14.50     8.50  
Common equity tier 1 capital ratio   13.21     7.00  
Tier 1 leverage ratio   11.51     4.00  
             

The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets(1) increased to 9.42% as of December 31, 2024, from 9.35% as of September 30, 2024, and tangible book value per share(1) increased by $0.25 to $14.80 as of December 31, 2024, when compared to September 30, 2024.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company did not repurchase shares of its common stock under its stock repurchase program. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program that took effect upon the expiration of the Company’s prior stock repurchase program on January 1, 2025. The new stock repurchase program will be in effect until January 1, 2026 and authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $15 million of its common stock.
