Loans and Leases

Net loans and leases held for investment increased $83.9 million, or 8.5%, to $1.06 billion at June 30, 2017, from $981.1 million at March 31, 2017.  Loans held for sale increased $96.6 million, or 18.9%, to $609.1 million at June 30, 2017, from $512.5 million at March 31, 2017. The increase in both portfolios was driven by record volumes of loan and lease originations, which rose by 64.3% above the prior year level to $586.5 million.  The combined total loan and lease portfolio at June 30, 2017, and March 31, 2017, of $1.69 billion and $1.51 billion, respectively, were comprised of approximately 61.7% and 63.4% of unguaranteed loans and leases, respectively.  At June 30, 2017, the total loan and lease portfolio of $1.69 billion increased 66.1% above its level of a year ago.

Average loans and leases were $1.61 billion during the second quarter of 2017 compared to $1.42 billion during the first quarter of 2017.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2017 increased to $18.4 million compared to $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2016. The increase was driven by the significant growth in the combined held for sale and held for investment loan and lease portfolios.  It also reflects the Company's prior decision to grow recurring revenue sources by increasing the level of loans and leases retained on the balance sheet.  Net interest income further benefited from a steadily rising net interest margin, which rose from 3.76% for the for the first quarter of 2017 to 3.92% for the second quarter of 2017 as the rise in yields on interest earnings assets outpaced those on the Company's funding sources.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2017 rose to $26.7 million, compared to $19.3 million for the second quarter of 2016.  Net gains on sales of loans increased to $18.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2016 and decreased slightly versus the $19.0 million in the first quarter of 2017.  The increase from the prior year was due to a higher volume of guaranteed loan sales partially offset by a reduction in the average net gain on sale of guaranteed loans.  The decline from the prior quarter was due to a lower volume of guaranteed loans sold during the second quarter of 2017 partly mitigated by a slight increase in the average net gain on guaranteed loan sales.  Loan servicing revenues of $6.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 rose by $1.1 million from the second quarter of 2016.  The inclusion of Reltco, Inc. and National Assurance Title, Inc. (collectively referred to as "Reltco") which were acquired in February 2017 contributed $2.4 million in noninterest income to the Company in the second quarter of 2017.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $33.3 million compared to $25.1 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $33.0 million for the first quarter of 2017.

The $8.2 million, or 32.5%, increase in noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 was principally driven by increased salaries and employee benefits of $2.6 million, equipment expense of $1.2 million and other expense of $1.0 million.  Salaries and employee benefits were largely influenced by the addition of Reltco personnel during the first quarter of 2017 along with resources to support the ongoing growth of the business platform.  Total stock based compensation expense in the second quarter of 2017 was $1.9 million compared to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2016.  The increase in equipment expense reflected the higher levels of depreciation related to aircraft acquired in the first quarter of 2017 and solar panels acquired to meet leasing commitments, while other expense increased primarily due to the addition of Reltco in the first quarter of 2017 combined with support expenses driven by business growth.

Compared to the first quarter of 2017, noninterest expense increased $315 thousand, or 1.0%.  This modest increase was driven by higher levels of investment in travel, advertising, occupancy, data processing and equipment to support the growing levels of business.  Total stock based compensation expense in the second quarter of 2017 was $1.9 million compared to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2017.

Asset Quality

The unguaranteed exposure of nonperforming loans declined slightly to $3.5 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $3.6 million at March 31, 2017.  Total nonperforming loans also decreased to $21.9 million in the second quarter of 2017 from $22.5 million at the end of the prior quarter.  Total unguaranteed nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment declined to 0.33% at June 30, 2017, compared to 0.36% at March 31, 2017.

Foreclosed assets increased $434 thousand to $2.1 million at June 30, 2017, from March 31, 2017.  The unguaranteed exposure of foreclosed assets increased to $345 thousand at June 30, 2017, from $304 thousand at March 31, 2017.

Net charge-offs decreased to $191 thousand in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 and net recoveries of $240 thousand in the second quarter of 2016.  Net charge-offs (recoveries) as a percentage of average held for investment loans and leases, annualized, for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were 0.07% and (0.18)%, respectively.  Net charge-offs (recoveries) for the first six months of 2017 totaled $1.7 million compared to $(8) thousand for the first six months of 2016.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses for the second quarter of 2017 totaled $1.6 million compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2017 and $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2016.  The second quarter of 2017 provision exceeded net charge-offs and reflects the continued growth of the loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $19.6 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $18.2 million at March 31, 2017, due to the aforementioned growth of the portfolio.  The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment was 1.80% at June 30, 2017, compared to 1.82% at March 31, 2017.

Income Tax

Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2017 totaled $408 thousand compared to an income tax expense of $557 thousand in the second quarter of 2016 and $798 thousand in the first quarter of 2017.  The effective rate of 4.0% in the second quarter of 2017 principally reflected the ongoing generation of investment tax credits by the renewable energy leasing activity which derives from the Company’s broader strategic initiatives in the renewable energy sector.

Deposits

Total deposits increased by $232.6 million, or 14.2%, to $1.87 billion at June 30, 2017, compared to $1.64 billion at March 31, 2017, following successful deposit gathering campaigns.  Average total interest-bearing deposits for the second quarter of 2017 increased $205.3 million, or 13.1%, to $1.74 billion, compared to $1.53 billion for the first quarter of 2017. The ratio of average total loans to average interest-bearing deposits was 92.7% for the second quarter of 2017, unchanged from the first quarter of 2017.

This press release presents the non-GAAP financial measures previously shown. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measures are included where applicable in financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results. The Company believes that excluding the amounts associated with these adjustments to present the non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which will assist regulators, investors, and analysts in analyzing the operating results or financial position of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance of the Company’s business for presentations of Company performance to investors, and for other reasons as may be requested by investors and analysts. The Company further believes that presenting the non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors and analysts to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by shareholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
