Guaranty Bancorp Announces 2016 Second Quarter Financial Results


/EINPresswire.com/ -- DENVER,CO--(Marketwired - July 20, 2016) - Guaranty Bancorp (NASDAQ: GBNK)

  • Previously announced merger of Home State Bancorp expected to close in the third quarter 2016
  • Successfully raised $40 million of subordinated debt at an initial rate of 5.75%
  • Expanded quarterly operating return on average assets (ROAA) to 1.03% from 1.01% in the first quarter 2016; second quarter 2016 GAAP ROAA was 0.97%, compared to 0.94% in the first quarter 2016
  • Grew loans by 13.8% during the last twelve months

Guaranty Bancorp (NASDAQ: GBNK) ("we", "our" or "the Company"), a community bank holding company based in Colorado, today announced second quarter 2016 net income of $5.7 million, or $0.27 per basic and diluted common share, an increase of $0.2 million, or 3.8% and an increase of $0.01 per basic and diluted common share as compared to the second quarter 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net income was $11.2 million or $0.53 per basic common share and $0.52 per diluted common share, an increase of $0.7 million, or 6.2% and an increase of $0.03 per basic common share and $0.02 per diluted common share as compared to the same period in 2015.

Operating earnings1 increased $0.5 million, or 8.3% for the second quarter 2016, as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The $0.5 million increase in operating earnings was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in net interest income resulting from a $226.9 million, or 14.0% increase in average loans, partially offset by an increase in income taxes due to higher pretax income. The $0.2 million increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in the prior year was due to a $0.9 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by $0.3 million of merger-related expenses incurred in the second quarter 2016 and a $0.3 million decline in noninterest income, mostly due to lower gains on sales of loans and a loss on sale of securities incurred during the second quarter 2016.

"We are extremely pleased with the progress that has been made with respect to our previously announced merger with Home State Bancorp," said Paul W. Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our goal remains to close the merger in the third quarter and complete the integration of all operations by the end of the year. We expect the merger will result in many benefits to our combined company, including increased market share, a lower loan-to-deposit ratio and a reduced commercial real estate concentration ratio. The market has responded very positively to the merger with $40 million in subordinated debt raised for the cash consideration payable in connection with the merger. This subordinated debt bears an initial interest rate of 5.75% which ranks among the lowest of recent reported issuances for bank holding companies of similar size and credit rating."

Mr. Taylor continued, "In addition to the merger activity, we continue to grow our business while successfully managing expenses. Our seasoned bankers are actively consulting with our customers and local Colorado businesses to provide them the resources they need to further their growth. These efforts have resulted in 13.8% loan growth and 6.0% deposit growth over the last twelve months. We also remain focused on the fundamentals with continued improvement in quarterly operating earnings, an operating return on average assets of 1.03% and an efficiency ratio of 59.1%."

On July 18, 2016, the Company completed its offering of $40.0 million of unsecured, fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due July 20, 2026 (Notes). The Notes will initially bear a fixed interest rate of 5.75% per annum. On July 20, 2021, and, thereafter, the interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly, at an annual floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR as determined by the applicable quarterly period, plus 4.73%. The Company received a BBB investment grade rating from Kroll Bond Rating Agency on the Notes.

As compared to the first quarter 2016, second quarter 2016 operating earnings increased $0.1 million, or 2.2% to $6.0 million. Operating ROAA increased to 1.03% in the second quarter 2016 compared to 1.01% in the first quarter 2016. Second quarter 2016 net income increased $0.2 million to $5.7 million, as compared to the first quarter 2016 primarily due to declines in merger-related expense and salaries and employee benefits. ROAA (GAAP) during the second quarter 2016 was 0.97% compared to 0.94% in the first quarter 2016.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, operating earnings increased 11.9%, or $1.3 million, as compared to the same period in 2015 due to a $3.7 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in interest expense and an increase in income taxes due to higher pretax income. The $3.7 million increase in interest income was mostly due to a $257.4 million, or 16.4% increase in average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. The $1.6 million increase in interest expense was related to a $149.4 million, or 14.1% increase in average interest-bearing deposits and an increase in the average cost of borrowings of 58 basis points. Net income increased $0.7 million for the first six months of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in net income was the result of a $3.7 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in interest expense, $1.0 million in merger-related expenses incurred during the first six months of 2016 and an increase in income taxes as a result of higher pretax income.

(1) See reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding   
 GAAP measurement in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" later in this document.  
(2) The efficiency ratio equals noninterest expense adjusted to exclude     
 amortization of intangible assets, prepayment penalties on long-term debt, 
 impairment of long-lived assets and merger-related expenses, divided by    
 the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and tax equivalent           
 noninterest income. To calculate tax equivalent net interest income and    
 noninterest income, the interest earned on tax exempt loans and investment 
 securities and the income earned on bank-owned life insurance has been     
 adjusted to reflect the amount that would have been earned had these       
 investments been subject to normal income taxation.

Net interest income increased $0.9 million in the second quarter 2016, as compared to the same quarter in 2015, due to a $1.7 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of a $226.9 million, or 14.0% increase in average loan balances in the second quarter 2016 as compared to the same quarter in 2015. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to a $0.5 million increase in interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings, resulting from hedged borrowings, $25.0 million of which became effective in the third quarter 2015 and $25.0 million of which became effective in the first quarter 2016. Additionally, interest expense on certificates of deposits increased $0.3 million in the second quarter 2016 as compared to the same quarter in 2015, primarily as a result of a $74.4 million increase in average certificates of deposit.

As compared to the first quarter 2016, net interest income decreased by $0.2 million mostly due to an increase in interest expense. The increase in interest expense during the second quarter 2016, as compared to the first quarter 2016, was primarily due to an increase in the cost of Company's FHLB borrowings and certificates of deposit.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net interest income increased $2.1 million, as compared to the same period in 2015, due to a $3.7 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in interest expense. The year-to-date increase in interest income was driven by a $257.4 million, or 16.4% increase in average loans, as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in interest expense during the first six months of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily a result of the increased cost of our FHLB borrowings and increased interest expense on certificates of deposit. The increased cost of FHLB borrowings was the result of the Company's hedged borrowings becoming fully effective as outlined above and the impact of the December 2015 Federal Reserve Board's federal funds interest rate increase on overnight funding. The increase in interest expense on certificates of deposit in the first six months of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was the result of an increase in average cost and an increase in average balances.

Second quarter 2016 noninterest income was $4.1 million as compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter 2016 and $4.4 million in the second quarter 2015.

The decline in noninterest income in the second quarter 2016, as compared to the second quarter 2015, was primarily attributable to the net losses recognized on security sales in the second quarter 2016 and a decline in gains on the sale of SBA loans. Similarly, the decline in noninterest income in the second quarter 2016, as compared to the first quarter 2016, was primarily the result of decreases in net gains generated by the sale of SBA loans and securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, noninterest income decreased $0.2 million to $8.3 million as compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2015. The primary reason for the decrease in noninterest income was due to a decline in gains on the sale of SBA loans.

Noninterest expense increased by $0.2 million to $15.1 million in the second quarter 2016 as compared to $15.0 million in the second quarter 2015. The primary cause of the increase in noninterest expense was $0.3 million in merger related expenses associated with the Company's previously announced merger with Home State Bancorp incurred in the second quarter 2016.

During the second quarter 2016, noninterest expense decreased $0.7 million, as compared to the first quarter 2016, primarily as a result of a $0.3 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits due to a decline in payroll taxes related to the timing of the annual payroll cycle and a $0.3 million decline in merger-related expenses. The Company's tax equivalent efficiency ratio was 59.08% for the second quarter 2016, as compared to 59.92% in the first quarter 2016, and 59.77% in the second quarter 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, noninterest expense was $30.9 million as compared to $30.2 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in noninterest expense during the first six months of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily due to the $1.0 million in merger-related expenses incurred during the first six months of 2016 and a $0.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, partially offset by a $0.7 million decline in occupancy expense. The $0.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits during the first six months of 2016, as compared to the prior year was mostly due to a $0.3 million increase in base salaries, a $0.2 million increase in the Company's self-funded medical plan and a $0.2 million increase in equity compensation expense. The $0.7 million decline occupancy expense was primarily the result of a $0.5 million reduction in rent and depreciation expense related to the restructure of the lease for the Company's corporate office.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had total assets of $2.4 billion, reflecting an increase of $26.5 million as compared to December 31, 2015, and an increase of $125.5 million as compared to June 30, 2015. The $26.5 million increase in total assets during the first six months of 2016 was comprised of an increase in loans of $84.0 million, partially funded by a $55.7 million reduction in investments and a $45.5 million increase in deposits. The $125.5 million increase in total assets at June 30, 2016 as compared to June 30, 2015, was due to a $229.9 million increase in loans, partially offset by a $73.8 million decrease in investments and a $24.7 million decrease in cash.

During the second quarter 2016, loans net of deferred costs and fees increased $68.3 million which was comprised of a $120.5 million increase in commercial and residential real estate loans, including a $30.7 million increase in 1-4 family residential real estate loans, and a $6.1 million increase in commercial loans, partially offset by a $61.3 million decline in construction loans. The $61.3 million decline in construction loans during the second quarter 2016 was primarily the result of the completion of the underlying construction projects and the conversion of the short-term construction loan to permanent financing. Second quarter 2016 net loan growth consisted of $209.3 million in new loans and net existing credit advanced, partially offset by $142.5 million in net loan pay-downs and maturities. In addition to contractual loan principal payments and maturities, the second quarter 2016 included $48.1 million in early payoffs related to the sale of the borrower's assets, $15.2 million in payoffs due to our strategic decision to not match certain financing terms offered by competitors, and $19.5 million in pay-downs related to revolving line of credit fluctuations.

For the twelve months ended June 30, 2016, loans net of deferred costs and fees increased by $229.9 million, or 13.8%. Net loan growth was comprised of a $281.9 million increase in commercial and residential real estate loans partially offset by a $59.0 million decrease in construction loans. The growth in loans was the result of the development of new customer relationships and growth in existing customer relationships. The utilization rate on commercial lines of credit was 47.0% at June 30, 2016, as compared to 41.2% at December 31, 2015, and 41.0% as of June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2016, 1-4 family residential real estate loans were $374.0 million, as compared to $349.1 million at December 31, 2015, and $273.4 million as of June 30, 2015.

At June 30, 2016, all of our regulatory capital ratios remained well above minimum requirements for a "well-capitalized" institution. The Company's consolidated Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratios increased relative to December 31, 2015 as a result of increased capital due to year-to-date earnings, partially offset by growth in risk-weighted assets.

During the second quarter 2016, nonperforming assets decreased by $0.1 million from March 31, 2016 and $0.7 million from June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, nonperforming loans included one out-of-state loan syndication with a balance of $9.4 million.

At June 30, 2016, classified assets represented 10.6% of bank-level Tier 1 risk-based capital plus allowance for loan losses, as compared to 11.7% at December 31, 2015, and 13.9% at June 30, 2015.

Immaterial net recoveries were recognized during the first and second quarters 2016. Net recoveries in the second quarter 2015 were $0.2 million. The Bank considered recoveries, historical charge-offs, level of nonperforming loans, loan growth and other factors when determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the resulting amount of loan loss provision to be recognized during the quarter.
