ROCKAWAY, N.J., Oct. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sussex Bancorp (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:SBBX), the holding company for Sussex Bank (the “Bank”), today announced a 49.1% increase in net income to $2.0 million, or $0.33 per basic and diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $1.3 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. Also, the Company announced a 29.5% increase in net income or $1.00 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $0.86 for the same period last year.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net income and earnings per share were impacted by costs related to the pending acquisition of Community Bank of Bergen County, NJ (“Community”) and expenses incurred in connection with a S-3 registration statement (“S-3 registration”) filed in the second quarter of 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Diluted earnings per share, excluding expenses net of tax related to the pending acquisition of Community, expenses related to the S-3 registration net of tax and the weighted average number of shares issued in the capital raise completed in the second quarter of 2017, increased 36.1%, or $0.31, to $1.18 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 

“I am very excited about the momentum in our business units.  As a result, I am pleased to report a 49% increase in net income, which was driven by 20% and 19% growth in loans and deposits, respectively,” said Anthony Labozzetta, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sussex Bancorp and Bank.  Mr. Labozzetta also stated, “We continue to execute our plan to build a better bank and as such we have a couple of strategic initiatives that we expect to complete within the next few months: first, our partnership with Community, which we expect to close in early January; second, we are also very excited about the future opening of our newest regional banking and lending center in Weehawken, NJ (Hudson County NJ).  Much like our successful banking centers in Oradell, NJ and Astoria, NY, it is a market that we are familiar with and in which we are already doing business.  Once we have a physical presence, we expect more rapid growth in that market.”

Previously Announced Merger with Community Bank of Bergen County, NJ (OTCMKTS: CMTB)
The Company has received regulatory approvals from The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the FDIC to complete the previously announced merger of Community with and into Sussex Bank. 

The merger is still subject to a number of conditions, including shareholder and final regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.  Sussex Bancorp has filed a S-4 registration and joint proxy statement with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The merger is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2018.

The Company, Sussex Bank and Community entered into the merger agreement on April 10, 2017.  Under the terms of the merger agreement Community will merge with and into Sussex Bank and each outstanding share of Community common stock will be exchanged for 0.97 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The merger will enhance and expand Sussex Bank’s presence in Bergen County, New Jersey with the addition of 3 full service branch locations in that county, which will complement Sussex Bank’s existing location in Oradell, New Jersey.  As of December 31, 2016, Community headquartered in Maywood, New Jersey, had approximately $341 million of total assets, $229 million of loans and $304 million of deposits.  Based on financials as of December 31, 2016, the combined company will have approximately $1.2 billion in assets, $925 million in gross loans, and $965 million in deposits upon completion of the transaction. 

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
On October 27, 2017,  the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share, which is payable on November 24, 2017 to common shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10, 2017.

Financial Performance
Net Income. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported net income of $2.0 million, or $0.33 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.  The increase in net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was driven by a $1.2 million, or 19.3%, increase in net interest income resulting from strong loan and deposit growth of 19.9% and 18.7%, respectively, which is partially offset by a $454 thousand increase in overall interest expense partly related to the $15.0 million  private placement of subordinated notes completed in the fourth quarter of 2016 and an increase in interest expense related to growth and higher costs for interest bearing deposits. The aforementioned growth in net interest income was partly offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $643 thousand mostly due to costs to support the Company’s growth and expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported net income of $5.2 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, or a 29.5% increase, as compared to net income of $4.0 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the same period last year. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was largely due to an increase in net interest income of $3.4 million, which was partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $1.9 million. The increase in non-interest expenses was largely due to an $1.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and expenses related to the pending acquisition of Community of $482 thousand. Excluding expenses net of tax related to the pending acquisition of Community and expenses related to the S-3 registration net of tax, net income increased $1.6 million, or 39.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $1.3 million, or 19.8%, to $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2016.  The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $131.7 million, or 17.2%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $126.0 million, or 19.3%. The net interest margin increased by 8 basis points to 3.42% for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016.  The net interest margin increase was attributed to $205 thousand in prepayment penalties.  

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $3.6 million, or 19.8%, to $21.7 million for the first nine months of 2017 as compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2016. Included in the increase in net interest income was $457 thousand in prepayment penalties on $31.4 million of commercial loans.  For the nine months of 2017 and 2016, net interest margin was unchanged at 3.37%.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses decreased $118 thousand to $340 thousand for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to $458 thousand for the same period in 2016.

Provision for loan losses increased $73 thousand, or 6.9%, to $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $255 thousand, or 14.4%, to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to the same period last year.  The increase was principally due to growth of $173 thousand in insurance commissions and fees relating to Tri-State Insurance Agency, $71 thousand in other income and $70 thousand in bank owned life insurance.  The aforementioned was partly offset by a reduction in gain on sales of securities of approximately $115 thousand. 

The Company’s non-interest income increased $200 thousand, or 3.3%, to $6.3 million for the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the same period last year.  The increase was principally due to growth of $303 thousand in insurance commissions and fees relating to Tri-State Insurance Agency and an increase of $153 thousand in bank owned life insurance, mostly due to an increase in investments in bank owned life insurance.  The aforementioned was partly offset by  a reduction in gain on sales of securities of approximately $310 thousand.

Non-interest Expense. The Company’s non-interest expenses increased $643 thousand, or 11.4%, to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to the same period last year. The increase for the third quarter of 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, was largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $512 thousand and expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate of $123 thousand.    

The Company’s non-interest expenses increased $1.9 million, or 11.5%, to $18.8 million for the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the same period last year.  The increase for the first nine months of 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, was largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.3 million, expenses of $482 thousand related to the pending acquisition of Community, other expenses of $317 thousand which includes $75 thousand related to S-3 registration, and professional fees of $208 thousand and was partly offset by a decrease of $186 thousand in FDIC assessment.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 was largely due to an increase in personnel to support our growth.   

Financial Condition
At September 30, 2017, the Company’s total assets were $956.8 million, an increase of $108.1 million, or 12.7%, as compared to total assets of $848.7 million at December 31, 2016.  The increase in total assets was largely driven by growth in loans receivable of $99.9 million, or 14.4%. 

Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $99.9 million, or 14.4%, to $795.1 million at September 30, 2017, as compared to $695.3 million at December 31, 2016.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had $139.5 million in commercial loan production, which was partly offset by $31.4 million in commercial loan payoffs.

The Company’s total deposits increased $81.0 million, or 12.3%, to $741.9 million at September 30, 2017, from $660.9 million at December 31, 2016.  The growth in deposits was primarily due to an increase in interest bearing deposits of $64.6 million, or 12.2%, at September 30, 2017, as compared to December 31, 2016. Included in the aforementioned deposit total is $85.3 million with a cost of 0.59% attributed to our branch in Oradell, New Jersey, which opened in the beginning of March 2016, an increase of $25.3 million or 42.2% from December 31, 2016.  Additionally, the Company’s wholesale deposits increased $23.4 million, or 27.7%, to $108.0 million at September 30, 2017 from $84.6 at December 31, 2016. 

At September 30, 2017, the Company’s total stockholders’ equity was $93.9 million, an increase of $33.9 million when compared to December 31, 2016.  The increase was largely due to the capital raise of $28.0 million and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The Company completed the capital raise on June 21, 2017 which was the primary driver in the book value increase of 22.7% from $12.67 to $15.55.  At September 30, 2017, the leverage, Tier I risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and common equity Tier I capital ratios for the Bank were 12.14%, 14.82%, 15.80% and 14.82%, respectively, all in excess of the ratios required to be deemed “well-capitalized.”

The ratio of NPAs, which include non-accrual loans, loans 90 days past due and still accruing, troubled debt restructured loans currently performing in accordance with renegotiated terms and foreclosed real estate, to total assets decreased to 1.03% at September 30, 2017 from 1.10% at December 31, 2016.  NPAs increased $471 thousand, or 5.0%, to $9.8 million at September 30, 2017, as compared to $9.3 million at December 31, 2016.  There were no loans 90 days past due and still accruing at September 30, 2017 as compared to $468 thousand at December 31, 2016.  Non-accrual loans increased $771 thousand, or 13.2%, to $6.6 million at September 30, 2017, as compared to $5.8 million at December 31, 2016.  Loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $1.6 million at September 30, 2017, representing a decrease of $212 thousand, or 11.5%, as compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2016.

The Company continues to actively market its foreclosed real estate properties, which decreased $92 thousand to $2.3 million at September 30, 2017 as compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2016.  At September 30, 2017, the Company’s foreclosed real estate properties had an average carrying value of approximately $253 thousand per property.
