1st Capital Bank Announces Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results; Record Loan Portfolio
MONTEREY, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 27, 2016 / 1st Capital Bank (OTC Pink: FISB) reported unaudited net income of $645 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of 59.2% compared to net income of $405 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and a decrease of 6.3% compared to income of $689 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2016, the immediately preceding quarter. Earnings per share were $0.15 (diluted), compared to $0.17 (diluted) for the prior quarter.
On a year-to-date basis, unaudited net income increased 19.4% to $2.04 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $1.71 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, when operating results included $249 thousand of non-recurring, non-taxable bank-owned life insurance benefits.
Net loans increased $28 million during the third quarter, from $378 million at June 30, 2016 to $406 million at September 30, 2016. Organic growth was concentrated in commercial real estate loans, which grew $10 million, or 5.5%, in the third quarter. The single-family residential portfolio increased $17 million, or 13.9%, as the result of a $20 million loan pool purchase, while the commercial and industrial loan portfolio decreased $2 million, or 4.2%, during the third quarter. Because of the increase in the loan portfolio, the Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $255 thousand in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $365 thousand in the third quarter of 2015 and $40 thousand in the second quarter of 2016.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 was $4.18 million, an increase of 2.5% compared to $4.08 million recognized in the three-month period ended June 30, 2016. On a year-over-year basis, quarterly net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $402 thousand, or 10.6%, from $3.78 million recognized in the third quarter of 2015, and year-to-date net interest income before provision for loan losses increased 12.6%, from $11.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $12.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net interest margin increased from 2.99% in the second quarter of 2016 to 3.20% in the third quarter of 2016.
“We continue to be pleased with the growth in our core loan portfolio. Excluding purchased loans, our portfolio grew 9.8% over the past twelve months, and 4.8% in the third quarter of 2016. Consequently, it was necessary to build our allowance for loan losses to a level commensurate with our outstanding loans, which now exceed $400 million,” said Thomas E. Meyer, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“We believe the current level of the allowance for loan and lease losses is consistent with the inherent risk of the portfolio,” added Dale R. Diederick, Chief Credit Officer, “and we are happy to report that we received payment in full in October 2016 of a $1.5 million land loan that was on non-accrual status at September 30, 2016. This will add approximately $80 thousand of non-recurring interest income to our October operating results.”
Total assets declined $22 million in the third quarter, to $524 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $546 million at June 30, 2016, as a result of a decrease in deposits of $23 million, or 4.6%, from $498 million at June 30, 2016 to $475 million at September 30, 2016. Over the same period, deposits placed into Promontory Interfinancial Network’s Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) product but not carried on the Bank’s balance sheet increased $16 million, from $11 million at June 30, 2016 to $27 million at September 30, 2016. These funds may be moved back into the Bank’s deposit portfolio at the Bank’s discretion. The overall decline in the level of deposits under the Bank’s management of $7 million, or 1.4%, from $509 million at June 30, 2016 to $502 million at September 30, 2016 reflects normal seasonal trends, particularly among the Bank’s agricultural industry depositors.
The Bank’s investment portfolio decreased $5 million, or 5.6%, due to normal amortization and principal prepayments in its portfolios of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, and the Bank’s cash position decreased $45 million, from $67 million at June 30, 2016 to $22 million at September 30, 2016, as funds were moved into the ICS program and invested in the loan portfolio.
“During the third quarter, our net interest margin expanded as we put our on-balance sheet liquidity to work in the loan portfolio and moved excess funds off our balance sheet and into the ICS program, providing us with a source of recurring fee income. This had the added benefit of increasing our leverage capital ratio to a level more in line with our risk appetite,” said Michael J. Winiarski, Chief Financial Officer. The Bank’s leverage capital ratio increased from 8.33% at June 30, 2016 to 8.94% at September 30, 2016.
NET INTEREST INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Net interest income before provision for credit losses was $4.18 million for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $402 thousand, or 10.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2015 and an increase of $103 thousand, or 2.5%, compared to $4.08 million for the second quarter of 2016.
Average earning assets were $519 million during the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of 5.3% compared to $548 million in the second quarter of 2016. The yield on earning assets was 3.33% in the third quarter, compared to 3.14% in the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to a significant reduction in the Bank’s interest-bearing cash balances and an increase in the average balance of loans from $383 million in the second quarter of 2016 to $390 million in the third quarter of 2016.
The cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined from 0.26% in the second quarter of 2016 to 0.23% in the third quarter of 2016, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from $313 million in the second quarter of 2016 to $282 million in the third quarter of 2016, as the Bank experienced a seasonal decrease in deposits, particularly from larger depositors, and funds were placed into the ICS program. The average balance of noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts (“DDAs”) was stable at $194 million in both the second and third quarters of 2016. The Bank’s overall cost of funds decreased three basis points, from 0.16% in the second quarter of 2016 to 0.13% in the third quarter of 2016.
Gross loans receivable increased $28 million, or 7.3%, to $412 million at September 30, 2016 from $384 million at June 30, 2016 and increased $26 million, or 6.6%, from $387 million outstanding at September 30, 2015. During the third quarter of 2016, the Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio increased 5.5%, from $190 million to $201 million. Year over year, the commercial real estate portfolio grew 14.0%. Within the commercial real estate portfolio, loans on multi-family residential properties increased $4 million, from $50 million at June 30, 2016 to $54 million at September 30, 2016. Single-family residential loans, increased $17 million, or 13.9%, as normal amortization and prepayments offset the purchase of a $20 million pool of hybrid adjustable loans. Commercial and industrial loans outstanding decreased $3 million, from $50 million outstanding at June 30, 2016 to $47 million at September 30, 2016. Year over year, commercial and industrial loans increased 4.1%.
Non-performing loans were substantially unchanged, declining slightly to $1.6 million at September 30, 2016 from $1.7 million at June 30, 2016. Loans over 90 days past due (all of which were on non-performing status) were $79 thousand and $1.5 million at June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectively.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses is a charge against current earnings in an amount determined by management to be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb estimated probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio in light of losses historically incurred by the Bank and adjusted for qualitative factors associated with the loan portfolio. In the third quarter of 2016, the Bank recorded a $255 thousand provision for losses, compared to provisions for losses of $40 thousand in the second quarter of 2016 and $365 thousand in the third quarter of 2015, in each case primarily to recognize the increased exposure to credit losses associated with growth in the loan portfolio.
The increase in the provision reflects the growth of the portfolio, changes in the mix of loan types within the portfolio and their respective loss histories, as well as management’s assessment of the amounts expected to be realized from certain loans identified as impaired. Impaired loans totaled $9.5 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $9.7 million at June 30, 2016, and $9.4 million at September 30, 2015.
At September 30, 2016, non-performing loans were 0.39% of the total loan portfolio, compared to 0.45% at June 30, 2016 and 0.49% at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2016, the allowance for loan losses was 1.52% of outstanding loans, compared to 1.56% at June 30, 2016 and 1.53% at September 30, 2015, respectively. The Bank recorded net recoveries of $13 thousand in the third quarter of 2016, compared to net recoveries of $8 thousand in the second quarter of 2016.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income recognized in the third quarter of 2016 was $74 thousand, compared to $104 thousand in the second quarter of 2016, when it included $19 thousand in gain on sale of Small Business Administration guaranteed loans. This represented a decrease of $30 thousand compared to second quarter of 2016, and a decrease of $32 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2015.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Non-interest expenses decreased $62 thousand, or 2.1%, to $2.91 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $2.98 million for the second quarter of 2016, and increased $77 thousand, or 2.7%, compared to $2.84 million recognized in the third quarter of 2015. Salaries and benefits decreased $82 thousand, or 4.3%, from $1.88 million in the second quarter of 2016 to $1.80 million in the third quarter of 2016.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, non-interest expenses were $8.92 million, an increase of $603 thousand, or 7.2%, compared to $8.32 million recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Salaries and benefits increased $505 thousand, or 10.0%, from $5.07 million to $5.58 million over the same period, reflecting an increase in average headcount from 66 employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 73 employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, including the opening of a branch office in San Luis Obispo, California in June 2015.
The efficiency ratio (non-interest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses and non-interest income) was 68.4% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 71.1% for the second quarter of 2016 and 73.0% for the third quarter of 2015. Annualized non-interest expenses as a percent of average total assets were 2.21%, 2.16%, and 2.31% for the third quarter of 2016, the second quarter of 2016, and the third quarter of 2015, respectively.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Bank’s effective book tax rate was 40.7% in the third quarter of 2016, compared to 41.1% for the second quarter of 2016 and 40.9% for the third quarter of 2015.
