ROCKAWAY, N.J., July 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sussex Bancorp (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:SBBX), the holding company for Sussex Bank (the “Bank”), today announced a 26.3% increase in net income per diluted common share to $0.24 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $0.19 for the same period last year. Also, the Company announced a 45.0% increase in net income per diluted common share to $0.58 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $0.40 for the same period last year. For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $1.1 million, as compared to net income of $884 thousand for the same period last year.  The improvement for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period last year was mostly driven by a 17.3% increase in net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis as a result of strong growth in average loans and deposits, which increased $132.1 million, or 27.8%, and $73.8 million, or 18.3%, respectively.    

“Our principal business lines continue to generate outstanding results. As such, we produced another quarter of strong financial performance for Sussex Bancorp. In the second quarter our commercial loans and total deposits grew at an annualized rate of 46.7% and 13.6%, respectively, which, resulted in a substantial improvement in net interest income over the prior year. Our insurance company also increased its pretax earnings 271.4% as compared to the same quarter last year,” said Anthony Labozzetta, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sussex Bank.   

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share, which is payable on August 24, 2016 to common shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 10, 2016.

Financial Performance
Net Income. For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $1.1 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $884 thousand, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.  The increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was driven by an $872 thousand, or 17.3%, increase in net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis resulting from strong loan and deposit growth and an increase in non-interest income of $325 thousand, mostly due to the performance of Tri-State Insurance Agency’s (“Tri-State”) insurance commissions and fees.  The aforementioned was partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses and an increase in provision for loan losses, which was largely due to loan growth.  The increase in non-interest expenses was mostly due to higher salary and benefits, data processing costs and an increase in expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was mostly attributed to higher Tri-State salary and benefits expense related to Tri-State’s revenue growth. The increase in data processing was largely due to the costs associated with the outsourcing of our core processing systems.

Income before income taxes increased $352 thousand, or 26.9%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $1.3 million for the same period last year.  Tri-State’s contribution to the Company’s income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $76 thousand, or 271.4%, to $104 thousand as compared to $28 thousand for the same period last year.  The increase in Tri-State’s contribution to the Company’s income before income taxes was mostly due to an increase in insurance commissions and fees for the three months ended June 30, 2016 of $303 thousand, or 41.2%, as compared to the same period last year.  The Company’s income before income taxes, excluding Tri-State, increased $276 thousand, or 21.6%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $2.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, or a 45.0% increase, as compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the same period last year.  The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was largely due to increases in net interest income of $1.7 million and non-interest income of $948 thousand, which were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $1.2 million. The increase in non-interest expense was largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, mostly due to an increase in personnel to support our growth and higher incentive and commission costs related to the Bank’s and Tri-State’s performance, and data processing costs largely resulting from outsourcing of its core processing systems.

Income before income taxes increased $1.4 million, or 52.1%, to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to $2.6 million for the same period last year. Tri-State’s contribution to the Company’s income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $512 thousand, or 119.6%, to $940 thousand as compared to $428 thousand for the same period last year.  The increase in Tri-State’s contribution to the Company’s income before income taxes was mostly due to an increase in contingency fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $411 thousand, or 122.8%, and growth in insurance commissions and fees of $458 thousand as compared to the same period last year.  The Company’s income before income taxes, excluding Tri-State, increased $861 thousand, or 39.1%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period last year.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $872 thousand, or 17.3%, to $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2016, as compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2015.  The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $133.3 million, or 22.9%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $132.1 million, or 27.8%.  The improvement in net interest income was partly offset by a decline in the net interest margin of 16 basis points to 3.31% for the second quarter of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015.  The decline in the net interest margin was mostly attributed to a 19 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on loans, which is mostly due to loan growth and loan repricing in a low rate environment. Also included in the net interest margin decrease is a 9 basis point increase in the average rate on interest bearing deposits, which was primarily driven by market competition and an increase in wholesale funding.

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $1.7 million, or 17.2%, to $11.7 million for the first six months of 2016 as compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2015.  The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $117.6 million, or 20.5%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable and the securities portfolio, which increased $110.6 million, or 23.4% and $6.0 million, or 6.4%, respectively.  The Company’s net interest margin was 3.39% and 3.49% for the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decline in net interest margin is due to loan growth and loan repricing in a low rate environment along with an increase in the average rate on interest bearing deposits, primarily driven by market competition and an increase in wholesale funding.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses increased $185 thousand, or 92.5%, to $385 thousand for the second quarter of 2016, as compared to $200 thousand for the same period in 2015.

Provision for loan losses increased $91 thousand, or 18.0%, to $596 thousand for the first six months of 2016, as compared to $505 thousand for the same period in 2015.

The increases for both periods were mostly attributable to the Company’s loan growth.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $325 thousand, or 21.7%, to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2016, as compared to the same period last year.  The increase was primarily due to higher insurance commissions and fees, which increased $303 thousand, or 41.2%, for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015.   

The Company reported an increase in non-interest income of $948 thousand, or 27.9%, to $4.4 million for the first six months of 2016 as compared to the same period last year.  The increase in non-interest income was largely due to increases in insurance commissions and fees of $869 thousand.  The growth in Tri-State’s commissions and fees was largely due to growth in contingency fee income of $411 thousand, or 122.8%, and growth in insurance commissions and fees of $458 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period last year.

Non-interest Expense. The Company’s non-interest expenses increased $676 thousand, or 13.7%, to $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2016, as compared to the same period last year. The increase for the second quarter of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $287 thousand, data processing of $119 thousand and expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate of $109 thousand. 

The Company’s non-interest expenses increased $1.2 million, or 12.2%, to $11.2 million for the first six months of 2016 as compared to the same period last year.  The increase for the first six months of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $860 thousand and data processing of $314 thousand. 

The increase in salaries and employee benefits for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 as compared to the same periods in was largely due to an increase in personnel to support our growth, including the opening of our Oradell, New Jersey branch in the first quarter of 2016, and higher incentive and commission costs related to the Bank’s and Tri-State’s performance.  The aforementioned increases were partly offset by the elimination of our in-house data operations center during the fourth quarter of 2015 and the closing of our Port Jervis, New York branch during the second quarter of 2016.   The increase in data processing was largely due to the costs associated with the outsourcing of its core processing systems and higher costs related to the Company’s growth and introduction of new products and services during 2016.

Financial Condition
At June 30, 2016, the Company’s total assets were $789.8 million, an increase of $105.3 million, or 15.4%, as compared to total assets of $684.5 million at December 31, 2015.  The increase in total assets was largely driven by growth in loans receivable of $96.8 million, or 17.8%. 

Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $96.8 million, or 17.8%, to $640.2 million at June 30, 2016, as compared to $543.4 million at December 31, 2015.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had $112.3 million in commercial loan production, which was partly offset by $6.2 million in commercial loan payoffs.

The Company’s total deposits increased $76.9 million, or 14.9%, to $594.8 million at June 30, 2016, from $517.9 million at December 31, 2015.  The growth in deposits was due to increases in both interest bearing deposits of $43.2 million, or 10.0%, and non-interest bearing deposits of $33.7 million, or 38.7%, at June 30, 2016, as compared to December 31, 2015. Additionally there was an increase in borrowings of $23.2 million, or 24.3%, to $118.9 million at June 30, 2016 from $95.7 million at December 31, 2015 due to substantial loan growth.  Included in the aforementioned deposit total is $41.7 million in deposit balances with a cost of 0.61% attributed to our newest branch in Oradell, New Jersey, which opened in the beginning of March, 2016.  Also, included is $63.0 million in deposit balances with a cost of 0.44% attributed to our branch in Astoria, New York, which opened in Mid-March of 2015. 

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s total stockholders’ equity was $56.9 million, an increase of $2.9 million when compared to December 31, 2015.  The increase was largely due to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  At June 30, 2016, the leverage, Tier I risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and common equity Tier I capital ratios for the Bank were 8.75%, 10.50%, 11.46% and 10.50%, respectively, all in excess of the ratios required to be deemed “well-capitalized.”
