Stonegate Bank Announces First Quarter 2016 Operating Results


/EINPresswire.com/ -- POMPANO BEACH, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 04/26/16 -- Stonegate Bank (NASDAQ: SGBK) ("Stonegate") reported net income of $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2016 or $0.51 per diluted common share ($0.53 per share net operating income, a non-GAAP measurement described below), as compared to net income of $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 or $0.56 per diluted common share.

Net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measurement used by management to evaluate and monitor financial results of operations excluding certain non-recurring items such as merger and acquisition related expenses. Information related to our use of non-GAAP financial measures and a table reconciling GAAP to non-GAAP measures used in this press release are presented below under the caption Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Measures.

Key highlights for the first quarter:

  • Loans: Total loans, net of discounts and deferred fees, grew $28.6 million during the first quarter of 2016 to $1.89 billion at March 31, 2016, a result of net organic loan growth during the quarter. Commercial real estate ("CRE") comprised 38% of new loan originations for the first quarter of 2016, based upon the outstanding balance as of March 31, 2016. Commercial and industrial ("C&I") accounted for 35% of the new loan originations; 4% of the new originations were construction; residential loans were 9% of new originations with the remaining balance in consumer and other loans. The loan production for the first quarter was comprised of 51% fixed rate loans. Approximately 44% of the variable rate loans originated in the first quarter were tied to LIBOR. On an annualized basis organic loan growth was approximately 6.2%.

  • Asset Quality: Total loans past due 30 - 89 days, excluding nonaccrual loans, were $454,000 at March 31, 2016, a decrease of $410,000 from December 31, 2015. Nonaccrual loans were $4.9 million at March 31, 2016, or 0.26% of total loans, a decrease from $6.6 million at December 31, 2015, or 0.36% of total loans. Other real estate owned was $561,000 at March 31, 2016, a decrease of $829,000 from December 31, 2015.

  • Net Interest Income and Margin: Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $689,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015. Net interest income totaled $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, declined to 3.92% for the first quarter of 2016 as compared to 4.06% for the fourth quarter of 2015 and a decrease over the net interest margin of 4.15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2016 in the margin was primarily a result of a decrease in the amount of accretable and nonaccretable discounts that were recognized during the first quarter.

  • Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense increased slightly to $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $12.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

  • Capital: Stonegate remained well-capitalized as of March 31, 2016 with capital of $289.5 million as compared to $282.6 million at December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016, Stonegate's total risk-based capital ratio was 12.2%; Stonegate's Tier 1 and Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio were each 11.3%; and Stonegate's leverage capital ratio was 10.2%.

Credit Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans past due 30-89 days were $454,000 at March 31, 2016, a decrease from $864,000 at December 31, 2015. The decrease in past due loans was partially a result of one loan for $200,000 being transferred to nonaccrual status during the current quarter. All past due loans at March 31 2016, were from the acquired portfolios. Nonaccrual loans stood at $4.9 million at March 31, 2016, a decrease from $6.6 million at December 31, 2015. This decrease was largely due to the payoff of three loans for $1.8 million, including one legacy loan of $1.7 million. Legacy nonaccrual loans were approximately $2.1 million at March 31, 2016 versus $3.6 million as of December 31, 2015. Residential loans classified as nonaccrual were $2.0 million or 40.9% of the nonaccrual loans and commercial real estate loans classified as nonaccrual were $1.8 million or 37.0% of the nonaccrual as of March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, Stonegate did not have any loans past due 90 days or more that were still accruing. At March 31, 2016, there remained approximately $8.1 million in nonaccretable discounts on loans previously acquired. None of the acquired loans are subject to a loss share arrangement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned) were $5.5 million as of March 31, 2016, a decrease of $2.5 million from December 31, 2015. Other real estate owned decreased to $561,000 as of March 31, 2016 as compared to $1.4 million as of December 31, 2015. The decrease was the result of the sale of one property during the quarter that was outstanding at December 31, 2015.

The following table outlines nonperforming assets for the periods ended:

Specific reserves decreased to $744,000 at March 31, 2016 from $778,000 at December 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.98% of total loans as of both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Additionally, the allowance represented 1.33% of total legacy loans as of March 31, 2016. Only legacy loans are covered by the allowance as acquired loans are recorded at their fair value on the date of acquisition and none of these loans have 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 March 31, 2016 was $21.1 million, a decrease of approximately $689,000 from the fourth quarter of 2015 and an increase of $922,000 from the first quarter 2015. While earning assets grew from the fourth quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2016, the decrease in net interest income from the fourth quarter of 2015 was a result of the decrease in accretable discounts and nonaccretable discounts recognized in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase from the first quarter of 2015 was primarily a result of the organic growth. Average loans for the first quarter of 2016 were $1.87 billion as compared to $1.84 billion for the fourth quarter of 2015 and $1.68 billion for the first quarter of 2015.

The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis decreased from 4.06% for the fourth quarter of 2015 to 3.92% for the first quarter of 2016. The net interest margin was 4.15% for the first quarter of 2015. The average yield on total earning assets was 4.36% for the first quarter of 2016 versus 4.48% for the fourth quarter of 2015. The average yield on paying liabilities increased 3 basis points from 0.54% from the fourth quarter of 2015 to 0.57% for the first quarter of 2016. Stonegate's cost of funds has increased from 0.45% for the March 2015 month-to-date average to 0.46% for the March 2016 month-to-date average.

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.

On an on-going basis management reviews our noninterest expenses for potential efficiencies. As part of the most recent review, the decision was made, subject to regulatory approval, to merge the Hallandale Beach office into the Hollywood Beach office. It is anticipated the closing of the Hallandale Beach office will take place during the third quarter of 2016 with projected annual savings of approximately $500,000 from the date of closing. We remain committed to providing the highest level of customer service to all our customers and, as we begin this consolidation, we will strive to work with each customer to determine how best to continue to service individual financial needs.

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.
