A table reconciling GAAP to non-GAAP measures is presented below under the caption Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Measures.

Key highlights for the third quarter:

  • Loans: Total loans, net of discounts and deferred fees, grew $57.0 million during the third quarter of 2015 to $1.84 billion at September 30, 2015, a result of net organic loan growth during the third quarter. Commercial real estate ("CRE") comprised 41% of new loan originations for the third quarter of 2015, based upon the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2015. Residential loans accounted for 19% of the new loan originations; commercial and industrial ("C&I") was 16%; construction was 12% of new originations with the remaining balance in consumer and other loans. The loan production for the current quarter was comprised of 67% variable rate loans, with approximately 48% of the variable rate loans tied to LIBOR. Total loan growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately 7.7%.

  • Asset Quality: Total loans past due 30 - 89 days, excluding nonaccrual loans, were $2.8 million at September 30, 2015, up $100,000 from June 30, 2015. Nonaccrual loans were $6.4 million at September 30, 2015, or 0.35% of total loans, up from $4.6 million at June 30, 2015, or 0.26% of total loans.

The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, remained virtually unchanged at 4.32% for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to 4.31% for the second quarter of 2015.

New loan originations were $144.7 million during the third quarter of 2015, with fundings of $114.7 million. As of September 30, 2015, outstanding commitments were approximately $422.3 million with approximately $117.8 million representing new approved loan originations and approximately $97.9 million in unfunded construction commitments.

Deposits increased to $1.95 billion at September 30, 2015 from $1.93 billion at June 30, 2015. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $9.8 million to $389.7 million at September 30, 2015, and represented approximately 20% of total deposits. This decline was primarily due to the transfer of one account for about $8.8 million into a money market account. At September 30, 2015, money market accounts surpassed the $1 billion mark as they increased $55.2 million from June 30, 2015. Time deposits decreased approximately $16.0 million during the third quarter of 2015 due to runoff of acquired deposits that were priced above the market.

Credit Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

As of September 30, 2015, Stonegate's past due and nonaccrual loans totaled $9.2 million and were 0.50% of total loans as compared to $7.3 million or 0.41% of total loans at June 30, 2015. Loans past due and nonaccrual acquired from Community Bank of Broward ("CBB") totaled $2.8 million as of September 30, 2015. Loans past due 30-89 days were $2.8 million at September 30, 2015, up slightly from $2.7 million at June 30, 2015. Nonaccrual loans stood at $6.4 million at September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.8 million from $4.6 million at June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to the addition of two loans for $1.2 million acquired from CBB, three loans for $1.2 million acquired from Florida Shores Bank - Southwest and two legacy loans for $900,000 that were transferred to nonaccrual status; offset by the transfer of two loans for $1.3 million to Other Real Estate Owned; and the payoff of one loan for approximately $25,000. Legacy nonaccrual loans were approximately $1.0 million at September 30, 2015 versus $221,000 as of June 30, 2015. Commercial real estate loans classified as nonaccrual were $4.1 million or 64.0% of the nonaccrual loans and residential loans classified as nonaccrual were $1.1 million or 17.8% of the nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, Stonegate did not have any loans past due 90 days or more that were still accruing. There remained approximately $10.8 million in nonaccretable discounts on loans acquired as of September 30, 2015. Stonegate does not have any loans under which it participates in a loss share arrangement.

Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned) were $9.0 million as of September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.9 million from June 30, 2015. Other real estate owned increased to $2.6 million as of September 30, 2015 as compared to $2.4 million as of June 30, 2015. The increase was the result of the transfer of two loans offset by the sale of one property during the quarter.

The following table outlines nonperforming assets for the periods ended:

Loans modified as a troubled debt restructuring were $9.9 million and $12.5 million at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively. The decrease of $2.6 million is due to the transfer of one loan to OREO and the sale of another note. Loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring and on nonaccrual decreased to $450,000 at September 30, 2015 from $1.2 million as of June 30, 2015. There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructuring during the third quarter of 2015 as compared to one loan which was modified as troubled debt restructuring during the second quarter of 2015. Specific reserves allocated to loans modified as troubled debt restructuring were $117,000 at September 30, 2015, a decrease from $894,000 at June 30, 2015.

At September 30, 2015, the allowance for loan losses was $18.0 million, an increase of $609,000 from June 30, 2015.

Additionally, the allowance represented 1.40% of total legacy loans as of September 30, 2015. Only legacy loans are covered by the allowance as acquired loans are recorded at their fair value on the date of acquisition and have not experienced significant deterioration above their initial estimate.

Net Interest Income and Margin

On a tax equivalent basis, Stonegate's net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $22.7 million, an increase of approximately $705,000 from the second quarter of 2015 and an increase of $8.6 million from the third quarter 2014. The increase from the second quarter of 2015 was a result of net organic loan growth while the increase from the third quarter of 2014 was primarily a result of the loans and other interest-earning assets acquired from CBB and organic growth. Average loans for the second quarter of 2015 were $1.80 billion as compared to $1.74 billion for the second quarter of 2015 and $1.22 billion for the third quarter of 2014.

The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis increased slightly from 4.31% for the second quarter of 2015 to 4.32% for the third quarter of 2015. The net interest margin was 3.67% for the third quarter of 2014. The net interest margin was augmented for the third quarter of 2015 due to the recognition of nonaccretable discounts. Without these discounts the net interest margin would have been approximately 4.00%. During the second quarter of 2015 Stonegate recognized approximately $130,000 in time deposit fair value amortization from the CBB acquisition that was not repeated in the third quarter. The net interest margin would have been 4.28% had this reduction in interest expense not occurred during the second quarter of 2015. Additionally, the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2015 was slightly higher due to recognition of nonaccretable discounts on several acquired loans which were paid off during the current quarter. The average yield on total earning assets was 4.72% for the third quarter of 2015 versus 4.68% for the second quarter of 2015. This increase was due primarily to the shift of approximately $31.2 million from deposits with interest at banks to loans. The average yield on paying liabilities increased 5 basis points from 0.48% from the second quarter of 2015 to 0.53% for the third quarter of 2015. However, the yield on paying liabilities for the second quarter of 2015 would have been 4 basis points higher at 0.52% if the reduction of interest expense had not occurred during the second quarter. As such, the actual increase over the second quarter was only 1 basis point. Stonegate's cost of funds has declined from 0.49% for the September 2014 month-to-date average to 0.43% for the September 2015 month-to-date average. The cost of funds increased slightly from the June 2015 month-to-date average due to the shift of deposits from noninterest-bearing deposits to interest-bearing.

The following table recaps yields and costs by various interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability account types for the current quarter, the previous quarter and the same quarter last year.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income of $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2015 increased from $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased from $13.3 million at June 30, 2015 to $12.4 million and was greater than the $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Salaries and employee benefits were $6.8 million for both the third and second quarter of 2015. This compares with $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. During the second quarter of 2015 there was approximately $200,000 of salary and benefit costs associated with the CBB acquisition. During the third quarter of 2015 there was an adjustment made to the Bank's 2015 incentive accrual which resulted in salaries and employee benefits remaining the same as in the second quarter.

Occupancy and equipment expenses were $2.2 million, $2.4 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease, when compared to the second quarter of 2015, was due to the costs associated with a merger-related branch closing during the second quarter of 2015. The increase from the quarter ended September 20, 2014 is due to the additional facilities acquired from CBB.

Data processing expense decreased from $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2015 to $445,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. This decrease was due to the conversion costs associated with CBB that were expensed during the second quarter. Professional fees decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $546,000. This compared to professional fees of $657,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $692,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 there were no merger related professional fees. However, during the third quarter of 2014, the Bank had approximately $213,000 of merger related professional fees.

The table below outlines the expenses for the quarters ended:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Stonegate's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of Stonegate's performance. These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to exclude the effects of the amortization of intangibles and include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant activities or transactions that in management's opinion can distort period-to-period comparisons of Stonegate's performance. Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of Stonegate's core business. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP disclosures in this press release are set forth below.
