TINTON FALLS, N.J., Jan. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Two River Bancorp (Nasdaq:TRCB) (the "Company"), the parent company of Two River Community Bank ("the Bank"), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2017, highlighted by solid loan growth during the quarter. All share and per share data for all referenced reporting periods have been adjusted for a 5% stock dividend paid on February 28, 2017.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. Among the other changes was a permanent reduction in the Federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. As a result of this change, the Company had to revalue its net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2017. The Company reduced its net deferred tax asset by $1.78 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, which was recorded as a one-time non-cash charge to income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017. The reduction of the Company’s 2018 Federal corporate tax rate to 21% will result in a significant tax benefit in 2018 and beyond and it is anticipated that the majority of this charge will be recouped in 2018. A portion of this tax benefit will be used to reinvest in the Company’s people, fund its growth, and further support the communities it serves. The charge impacted several metrics throughout the quarter and annual results.

Operating and Financial Highlights
(all comparisons to the respective prior year’s period unless otherwise noted)

Fourth Quarter 2017

• Net income was $335,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $2.57 million, or $0.30 per diluted share.  
  -- The 2017 fourth quarter included the above-mentioned charge to income tax expense of $1.78 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. Excluding this one-time charge, 2017 fourth quarter net income was $2.11 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.
• Net interest income increased 12.3% to $8.53 million due to strong loan growth.
• Total loans increased $34.8 million in the fourth quarter to $850.9 million. As a result of this loan growth, the Company reported a $675,000 loan loss provision, compared to a loan loss recovery of $345,000 in the same prior year period.
• Total deposits grew by $39.7 million during the quarter to $861.6 million as core checking deposits increased by $28.0 million.
  

Annual 2017

• Net income was $6.50 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $8.63 million, or $1.01 per diluted share.

Excluding the one-time charge to income tax expense and the BOLI event in the prior year, 2017 net income increased 6.6%.
• Net interest income increased 10.4% to $32.53 million, largely due to higher interest-earning assets driven by loan growth.

Management Commentary
William D. Moss, President and CEO, stated, “The Company achieved exceptional loan and deposit growth in the fourth quarter, which fueled a strong finish to the year and provides a very strong base for 2018. Commercial real estate loans remain the strongest catalyst for this growth, as we benefited from a robust loan pipeline across our geographic footprint. The fee income contributions from both our SBA and mortgage business lines were strong throughout 2017, reflected in a 21.1% and 36.2% increase, respectively. We are pleased to have exceeded the $1.0 billion mark in assets during the year, and expect earnings to benefit by loan growth in future quarters, along with the positive impact of the lower tax rate.”

Dividend Information
On January 17, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.045 per share, payable on February 28, 2018 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 7, 2018. This marks the 20^th consecutive quarterly cash dividend, which is in addition to the 5% stock dividend paid in February 2017.

2017 Fourth Quarter and Year End Financial Review

Net Income  
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $335,000, or $0.04 per diluted common share, compared to $2.57 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, for the same period last year. The decrease in net income was largely the result of the previously mentioned $1.78 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, write-down of the Company’s deferred tax asset from 34% to 21%, which will be the Company’s new corporate tax rate beginning in 2018. Additionally, the provision for loan losses was $675,000 for the quarter due to strong loan growth, compared to a loan loss recovery of $345,000 in the same prior year period, which was the result of a recovery related to a credit previously charged off.

On a linked quarter basis, fourth quarter 2017 net income decreased to $335,000 from $2.24 million for the third quarter of 2017.

Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 decreased to $6.50 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $8.63 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in the same prior year period. Excluding the effect of the previously mentioned deferred tax asset writedown in 2017 and the BOLI death benefit in 2016, net income increased 6.6% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

Net Interest Income  
Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $8.53 million, an increase of 12.3% compared to $7.59 million in the corresponding prior year period. This increase was largely due to an increase of $71.6 million, or 8.4%, in total interest earning assets, primarily attributable to growth in the loan portfolio. On a linked quarter basis, net interest income increased $113,000, or 1.3%, from $8.42 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, net interest income increased 10.4% to $32.5 million from $29.5 million in the prior year.

Net Interest Margin
The Company reported a net interest margin of 3.56% for the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to 3.62% in the third quarter of 2017 and 3.43% reported for the fourth quarter of 2016. The margin improvement from the prior year was primarily the result of slightly higher yielding interest-earning assets coupled with a higher level of average core checking deposits.  

Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 was 3.53%, unchanged from the prior year.

Non-Interest Income  
Non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 totaled $1.34 million, a decrease of $104,000, or 7.19%, compared to the same period in 2016. The Company reported lower loan fees and, to a lesser extent, lower gains from the sale of SBA loans. Residential mortgage banking revenue was $325,000 during the quarter, as compared to $331,000 in the prior year period. 

On a linked quarter basis, non-interest income decreased by $110,000 from the third quarter of 2017, mainly due to decreases in residential mortgage banking income and gains from the sale of SBA loans. Residential mortgage banking revenue decreased $33,000, or 9.2%, from $358,000 during the third quarter of 2017. Gains from the sale of SBA loans decreased $71,000, or 23.2%, from $306,000 during the third quarter of 2017 due to the timing of loan closings.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, non-interest income decreased slightly by $30,000, or 0.5%, to $5.46 million from the prior year due to the BOLI death benefit in 2016. Excluding this death benefit, non-interest income increased $832,000, or 18.0%. Mortgage banking revenue increased by 36.2% to $1.58 million, while gains from the sale of SBA loans increased 21.2% to $1.05 million.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 totaled $5.92 million, an increase from the $5.36 million reported in same period in 2016, primarily due to a rise in salaries and employee benefits along with a one-time $144,000 expense recovery in the fourth quarter of 2016 related to a credit previously charged off. On a linked quarter basis, non-interest expense decreased $256,000, or 4.1%, from $6.18 million due to lower salaries and benefits.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, non-interest expense increased $2.47 million, or 11.5%, to $23.9 million compared to the prior year. The increase in non-interest expense was largely attributable to a rise in salaries and employee benefits coupled with $394,000 of one-time expense recoveries in 2016 relating to both the settlement of an OREO property and the collection from the above-mentioned credit previously charged off.

Provision for Loan Losses  
During the quarter, the Company expensed a $675,000 loan loss provision, compared to a loan loss recovery of $345,000 in the same prior year period. The loan loss provision was largely due to the $34.8 million of loan growth in the fourth quarter 2017. The Company had net charge-offs of approximately $230,000 for the period. 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, a loan loss provision of $1.53 million was expensed, compared to $515,000 for the prior year.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company's allowance for loan losses was $10.67 million, compared to $9.57 million as of December 31, 2016. The loss allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.25% at December 31, 2017, compared to 1.27% at December 31, 2016.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are "tangible book value per common share," "return on average tangible assets," and "return on average tangible equity." This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance because it believes these measures are material and will be used as a measure of our performance by investors.
