Financial Results

Income Statement -- Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Park Sterling reported net income of $5.6 million, or $0.11 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 ("2016Q2"). This compares to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.05 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 ("2016Q1") and net income of $4.3 million, or $0.10 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 ("2015Q2"). The increase in net income from both 2016Q1 and 2015Q2 resulted primarily from reduced merger -related costs in 2016Q2 as well as an increase in net interest income from 2015Q2 and noninterest income compared to 2016Q1 and 2015Q2.

Park Sterling reported adjusted net income, which excludes merger-related expenses and gain or loss on sale of securities, of $6.4 million, or $0.12 per share, in 2016Q2. This compares to adjusted net income of $6.2 million, or $0.12 per share, in 2016Q1 and adjusted net income of $4.4 million, or $0.10 per share, in 2015Q2. Compared to 2016Q1 and 2015Q2, adjusted net income reflects higher noninterest income and lower noninterest expense.

Net interest income totaled $26.1 million in 2016Q2, which represents a $547 thousand, or 2%, decrease from $26.6 million in 2016Q1 and a $5.4 million, or 26%, increase from $20.6 million in 2015Q2. Average total earning assets increased $9.5 million in 2016Q2 to $2.84 billion, compared to $2.83 billion in 2016Q1 and increased $657.7 million, or 30%, compared to $2.19 billion in 2015Q2. The increase in average total earning assets in 2016Q2 from 2016Q1 included an increase in average loans (including loans held for sale) of $23.7 million, or 1%, offset by decreases in average marketable securities of $5.0 million, or 1%, and average other interest-earning assets of $9.3 million, or 17%. The increase in average total earning assets in 2016Q2 from 2015Q2 resulted primarily from a $654.7 million, or 40%, increase in average loans (including loans held for sale) as a result of both organic growth and the acquisition of First Capital and a $9.4 million, or 2%, increase in average marketable securities, offset by a $6.4 million, or 12%, decrease in average other earning assets.

Net interest margin was 3.69% in 2016Q2, representing a 9 basis point decrease from 3.78% in both 2016Q1 and 2015Q2. The decrease in net interest margin from 2016Q1 resulted primarily from a 12 basis point decrease in yield on loans to 4.68%, as the yield on loans in 2016Q1 was driven by a higher level of accretion of the acquired performing fair value mark related to the acquisition of First Capital loans. In addition, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 2 basis points from 2016Q1 as the cost of wholesale funding increased slightly. The reduction in net interest margin yield from 20152Q is significantly impacted by the merger with First Capital which was completed on January 1, 2016. The change was primarily driven by higher rates on interest bearing deposits and the cost associated with the $30 million senior term loan that was used to partially fund the merger, offset in part by the addition of higher yielding earning assets as a result of the merger.

The Company reported $882,000 of provision expense in 2016Q2, compared to $556,000 of provision recorded in 2016Q1, and a provision of $134,000 in 2015Q2. Allowance for loan loss levels increased to 0.47% of total loans at 2016Q2 compared to 0.43% at 2016Q1 due to an increase in the qualitative component of the allowance.

Noninterest income increased $648,000, or 14%, to $5.4 million in 2016Q2, compared to $4.7 million in 2016Q1 and increased $1.1 million, or 25%, compared to $4.3 million in 2015Q2. The increase from 2016Q1 was driven primarily by a $699,000 volume-related increase in capital markets income, as well as a $203,000 increase in ATM and card income that resulted from year-to-date EMV-chip card conversion cost adjustments. Other increases include a $122,000, or 83%, decrease in FDIC loss share indemnification asset and true-up liability expense as we approach the expiration date of another agreement and a $98,000, or 13%, increase in mortgage banking income. Partially offsetting these increases was a $462,000, or 47%, decrease in BOLI income due in part to $402,000 of death benefits received in 2016Q1 and an additional $81,000 of losses on the sale of securities. The increase in noninterest income from 2015Q2 reflects higher capital markets income, as well as higher service charges on deposit accounts and lower amortization on the FDIC loss share indemnification asset and true-up liability expense, offset partially by lower income from mortgage banking and wealth management activities.

Noninterest expenses decreased $4.2 million, or 16%, to $21.9 million in 2016Q2 compared to $26.2 million in 2016Q1, and increased $3.7 million, or 20%, compared to $18.2 million in 2015Q2. Adjusted noninterest expenses, which exclude merger-related expenses ($1.3 million in 2016Q2, $5.2 million in 2016Q1 and $167,000 in 2015Q2), decreased $282 thousand, or 1%, to $20.7 million in 2016Q2 compared to $21.0 million in 2016Q1, and increased $2.6 million, or 14%, compared to $18.1 million in 2015Q2. Overall the decrease in adjusted noninterest expenses from 2016Q1 was due primarily to a $351,000 decrease in salaries and compensation expense due to the 2016Q1 increase in the incentive accrual and the realization of additional merger related cost savings. The other notable decrease was the net cost of operation of OREO, which in 2016Q1 included a loss on the sale of a branch that had been transferred to OREO in 2015. Offsetting these decreases was an increase in loan and collection expense due to a recent HELOC program for which the company absorbs borrower closing costs, as well as the timing of loan activity. The increase in adjusted noninterest expenses from 2015Q2 is primarily a function of the merger with First Capital.

The company's effective tax rate was 35.4% in 2016Q2, compared to 40.6% in 2016Q1 and 34.7% in 2015Q2. During 2016Q1, the rate was impacted by certain non-deductible merger-related expenses and adjustments made to deferred tax assets for the true-up in tax rates and re-measurement due to the First Capital merger, partially offset by the non-taxable BOLI death benefits received in 2016Q1.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $20.3 million, or 1%, to $3.2 billion at 2016Q2, as compared to total assets of $3.2 billion at 2016Q1. Cash and equivalents decreased $22.6 million, or 28%, to $69.9 million and total securities, including non-marketable securities, decreased $4.8 million, to $509.7 million. Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $47.8 million, or 8% annualized, to $2.3 billion at 2016Q2.

Loan mix remained relatively consistent with 2016Q1. The combination of commercial and industrial and owner-occupied real estate loans decreased slightly from 31.1% to 30.6% of total loans, and investor-owned commercial real estate loans increased from 31.7% to 32.8% of total loans. Acquisition, construction and development loans decreased to 13.8% from 14.2% of total loans. Total consumer loans remained flat at 22% of total loans.

In terms of accounting designations, compared to 2016Q1: (i) non-acquired loans, which include certain renewed and/or restructured acquired performing loans that are re-designated as non-acquired, increased $119.3 million, or 8%, to $1.6 billion; (ii) acquired performing loans decreased $64.1 million, or 9%, to $661.9 million; and (iii) purchase credit impaired ("PCI") loans decreased $7.4 million, or 7%, to $98.7 million. At 2016Q2, noncovered performing acquired loans (which totaled $660.7 million) included a $4.9 million net acquisition accounting fair market value adjustment, representing a 0.74% "mark;" noncovered PCI loans (which totaled $85.4 million) included a $22.8 million adjustment, representing a 21.1% "mark;" and covered performing acquired and PCI loans (which totaled $14.5 million) included a $3.5 million adjustment, representing a 19.7% "mark."

Total deposits decreased $24.6 million, or 1%, to $2.5 billion at 2016Q2, as compared to total deposits of $2.5 billion at 2016Q1. Noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $27.1 million, or 6%, to $496.2 million (20% of total deposits). Non-brokered money market, NOW and savings deposits decreased $22.6 million, or 2%, to $1.2 billion (47% of total deposits). Time deposits less than $250,000 decreased $9.1 million, or 2%, to $547.6 million (22% of total deposits) and time deposits greater than $250,000 decreased $11.7 million, or 10%, to $108.1 million (4% of total deposits). Finally, brokered deposits decreased $8.3 million, or 5%, to $152.2 million (6% of total deposits). Core deposits, which exclude time deposits greater than $250,000 and brokered deposits, represented 89.5% of total deposits at 2016Q2 and 88.8% of total deposits at 2016Q1.

Total borrowings increased $29.9 million, or 11%, to $297.8 million at 2016Q2 compared to $268.0 million at 2016Q1. Borrowings at 2016Q2 included $235.0 million in FHLB borrowings, $29.7 million in a senior unsecured term loan at the bank holding company level, and $33.2 million of acquired trust preferred securities, net of acquisition accounting fair market value adjustments.

Total shareholders' equity increased $4.9 million, or 1%, to $354.5 million at 2016Q2 compared to $349.5 million at 2016Q1, driven by an increase in retained earnings and higher unrealized gains related to available-for-sale securities and balance sheet interest rate hedges. The company's ratio of common equity to assets increased to 11.17% at 2016Q2 from 11.08% at 2016Q1. The company's ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets increased to 9.00% at 2016Q2 from 8.87% at 2016Q1. The company's Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") ratio decreased to 11.14% at 2016Q2 compared to 11.11% at 2016Q1 due to an increase in risk weighted assets. The company's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.06% at 2016Q2 compared to 9.76% at 2016Q1.

Asset Quality

Asset quality continues to remain strong. Nonperforming assets were $11.0 million at 2016Q2, or 0.35% of total assets, compared to $14.0 million at 2016Q1, or 0.44% of total assets. Nonperforming loans were $7.8 million at 2016Q2, and represented 0.33% of total loans, compared to $9.6 million at 2016Q1, or 0.42% of total loans. The settlement of two loan relationships that were past due in 2016Q1 as well as the continued sales of other real estate owned contributed to the declines in both ratios. The company reported net recoveries of $159,000, or 0.03% of average loans (annualized), in 2016Q2, compared to net recoveries of $212,000, or 0.04% of average loans (annualized), in 2016Q1.

The allowance for loan losses increased $1 million, or 11%, to $10.9 million, or 0.47% of total loans, at 2016Q2, compared to $9.8 million, or 0.43% of total loans, at 2016Q1. The increase in allowance included (i) a $255,000, or 16%, decrease in the quantitative component, resulting from lower historic loss rates due to a net recovery in 2016Q2 and (ii) a $1.2 million or 15%, increase in the qualitative component, reflecting management's judgment of inherent loss in the loan portfolio not represented in historic loss rates, based on heightened general economic market uncertainty and increased financial market volatility which emerged toward the end of 2016Q2.

As contemplated during the Bank's 2010 public offering, the Company awarded certain performance-based restricted shares to officers and directors following the holding company reorganization. These shares vest one-third each when the Company's stock price per share reaches the following performance thresholds for 30 consecutive trading days: (i) 125% of offer price ($8.13); (ii) 140% of offer price ($9.10); and (iii) 160% of offer price ($10.40). These anti-dilutive restricted shares are issued (and thereby have voting rights), but are not included in earnings per share or tangible book value per share calculations until they vest (and thereby have economic rights). There were 436,590 shares outstanding at each of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 and 554,400 shares outstanding at each of the reported quarters of 2015.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Tangible assets, tangible common equity, tangible book value, adjusted average tangible common equity, adjusted net income, adjusted noninterest income, adjusted operating revenues, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted allowance for loan losses, and related ratios and per share measures, including adjusted return on average assets and adjusted return on average equity, as used throughout this release, are non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses (i) tangible assets, tangible common equity and tangible book value (which exclude goodwill and other intangibles from equity and assets), and related ratios, to evaluate the adequacy of shareholders' equity and to facilitate comparisons with peers; (ii) adjusted allowance for loan losses (which includes net FMV adjustments related to acquired loans) as supplemental information for comparing the combined allowance and fair market value adjustments to the combined acquired and non-acquired loan portfolios (fair market value adjustments are available only for losses on acquired loans); and (iii) adjusted net income and adjusted noninterest income (which exclude merger-related expenses and gain or loss on sale of securities, as applicable), adjusted noninterest expense (which excludes merger-related expenses), adjusted operating expense (which excludes merger-related expenses and amortization of intangibles) and adjusted operating revenues (which includes net interest income and noninterest income and excludes gain or loss on sale of securities, as applicable) to evaluate core earnings and to facilitate comparisons with peers.
