Truxton Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter 2019 Results

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Truxton Corporation (OTCPK: TRUX), the parent company for Truxton Trust Company (“Truxton” or “the Bank”) and subsidiaries, announced its operating results for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2019.  Fourth quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $2.5 million or $0.88 per diluted share compared to $2.1 million or $0.76 per diluted share for the same quarter in 2018.  Net income rose by 17% and earnings per diluted share rose by 16% for the quarter when compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, net income increased by 19% to $9.7 million from $8.2 million in 2018.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, earnings per diluted share rose from $2.95 to $3.46, an increase of 17%.

“Truxton had a remarkable 2019,” said Truxton Trust Chairman and CEO Tom Stumb.  “We achieved double-digit loan growth for the year and returned 15.8% on our average equity capital despite very conservative capital ratios.  These profitability levels allowed us to declare $2.00 per share in cash dividends in 2019 including the $1.00 special dividend payable next week.  Truxton’s dedicated staff continued to attract and meet the needs of new clients with complex financial needs.”

Key Highlights

  • Non-interest income grew to $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 7% from the same period of 2018.  Wealth management services constituted 93% of non-interest income in the quarter ended December 31, 2019. 
  • Net loans rose by 10% to $360 million compared to December 31, 2018, and were up 7% compared to September 30, 2019. 
  • Average deposits increased 7% compared to December 31, 2018.  Truxton continues to fund its growth from a single banking location through superior deposit operations service and technology. 
  • Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 3.21%.  That represents a decline of 5 basis points from the 3.26% experienced in the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and a decline of 4 basis points from the quarter ended December 31, 2018.  Cost of funds decreased to 0.95% in the fourth quarter of 2019 from 0.98% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, but rose from 0.94% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. 
  • Asset quality remains sound at Truxton.  Truxton had no non-performing assets at December 31, 2019.  Truxton had no charge-offs in the quarter ended December 31, 2019, and none in the trailing quarter, nor in the same quarter a year ago. 
  • Allowance for loan losses was $3.4 million, $3.4 million, and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2019, September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.  At those same dates, the bank’s allowance was 0.94%, 1.01%, and 1.01%, respectively, of gross loans outstanding at period end.
  • The Bank’s capital position remains strong.  Tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.3% for December 31, 2019, 11.33% for September 30, 2019, and 10.76% for December 31, 2018.  Book value per common share was $22.84, $23.28, and $20.63 at December 31, 2019, September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, Truxton Corporation paid dividends of $1.00 per common share and declared a $1.00 per share special dividend to be paid on February 3, 2020.  December 31, 2019 book value reflects the payment of the special dividend which is shown at year end as a “dividend payable” deducted from shareholder’s equity.

Yield Table Assumptions - Average loan balances are inclusive of nonperforming loans. Yields computed on tax-exempt instruments are on a tax equivalent basis. Net interest spread is calculated as the yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the result of net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets for the period. Changes in net interest income are attributed to either changes in average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for earning assets and sources of funds on which interest is received or paid. Volume change is calculated as change in volume times the previous rate while rate change is change in rate times the previous volume. Changes not due solely to volume or rate changes are allocated to volume change and rate change in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each category.

Yield Table Assumptions - Average loan balances are inclusive of nonperforming loans. Yields computed on tax-exempt instruments are on a tax equivalent basis. Net interest spread is calculated as the yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the result of net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets for the period. Changes in net interest income are attributed to either changes in average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for earning assets and sources of funds on which interest is received or paid. Volume change is calculated as change in volume times the previous rate while rate change is change in rate times the previous volume. Changes not due solely to volume or rate changes are allocated to volume change and rate change in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each category.
