Commenting on Heartland’s second quarter results, Lynn B. Fuller, Heartland’s chairman and chief executive officer said, "Heartland’s second quarter 2017 financial performance was excellent. Net income available to common stockholders of nearly $22.0 million exceeded the same quarter last year by 5 percent. Results were fueled in part by a solid net interest margin of 4.14 percent on a fully tax-equivalent basis and improvement in our efficiency ratio."

On February 28, 2017, Heartland completed the acquisition of Founders Bancorp, parent company of Founders Community Bank, based in San Luis Obispo, California. Based on Heartland's closing common stock price of $49.55 per share as of February 28, 2017, the aggregate consideration was $31.0 million, with 30% of the consideration paid in cash and 70% by delivery of Heartland common stock. Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction, Founders Community Bank merged into Heartland's Premier Valley Bank subsidiary. As of the close date, Founders Community Bank had, at fair value, total assets of $213.3 million, total loans of $96.4 million and total deposits of $181.5 million. The systems conversion for this transaction occurred two weeks after the closing.

On July 7, 2017, Heartland completed the acquisition of Citywide Banks of Colorado, Inc., parent company of Citywide Banks, headquartered in Aurora, Colorado. Simultaneous with the close, Citywide Banks merged into Heartland's Centennial Bank and Trust subsidiary. The aggregate consideration was approximately $211.2 million, of which $58.6 million was cash, and the remainder was settled by delivery of 3,216,161 shares of Heartland common stock. The combined entity operates as Citywide Banks. As of June 30, 2017, Citywide Banks had total assets of $1.38 billion, including $1.00 billion in net loans outstanding, and $1.20 billion of deposits. The systems conversion for this transaction is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Commenting on merger and acquisition activity, Fuller stated, "Earlier this month, we announced the completion of our acquisition of Citywide Banks of Colorado with $1.4 billion in assets. This transaction represents the largest acquisition in our history and adds sizable market share in Denver, one of America's best growth markets."

Fully Tax-Equivalent Net Interest Margin Remains Above 4.00%

Net interest margin, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, was 3.94% (4.14% on a fully tax-equivalent basis) during the second quarter of 2017, compared to 3.95% (4.16% on a fully tax-equivalent basis) during the first quarter of 2017 and 3.95% (4.12% on a fully tax-equivalent basis) during the second quarter of 2016.

Fuller said, "We are very pleased to see net interest margin remained strong at 4.14 percent on a fully tax-equivalent basis reflecting reductions in funding costs and improved yields in the securities portfolio."

Interest income for the second quarter of 2017 was $82.1 million compared to $81.3 million recorded in the second quarter of 2016. The taxable equivalent adjustment for income taxes saved on the interest earned on nontaxable securities and loans was $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2017 and $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2016. With these adjustments, interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $85.9 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.4 million or 2%, compared to $84.5 million for the second quarter of 2016. The increase in interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to the second quarter of 2016, was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets, which totaled $7.59 billion during the second quarter of 2017 compared to $7.45 billion during the second quarter of 2016, a $139.4 million or 2% increase.  This growth is attributable to the Founders Bancorp acquisition completed on February 28, 2017, and an increase in the average balance of the securities portfolio.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $7.5 million, a decrease of $732,000 or 9% from $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Average interest bearing liabilities decreased $217.2 million or 4% to $5.15 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, from $5.36 billion in the same quarter in 2016, while the average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing deposits and borrowings declined 4 basis points from 0.62% in the second quarter of 2016 to 0.58% in the second quarter of 2017.

Net interest income was $74.6 million during the second quarter of 2017 compared to $73.1 million during the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $1.5 million or 2%. After the tax-equivalent adjustment discussed above, net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $78.4 million during the second quarter of 2017 compared to $76.3 million during the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $2.1 million or 3%.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expenses Decrease From Second Quarter 2016

Noninterest income totaled $25.6 million during the second quarter of 2017 compared to $31.0 million during the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $5.4 million or 17%. Service charges and fees totaled $9.7 million during the second quarter of 2017 compared to $8.0 million during the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $1.7 million or 21%. This increase was primarily attributable to a larger demand deposit customer base, a portion of which was the result of the CIC Bancshares, Inc. acquisition completed during the first quarter of 2016 and the Founders Bancorp acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2017, and increased interchange revenue from commercial card activity. Securities gains, net, were $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2017 compared to $4.6 million recorded during the same quarter in 2016, a decrease of $3.2 million or 70%. Net gains on sale of loans held for sale totaled $6.8 million during the second quarter of 2017 compared to $11.3 million during the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $4.5 million or 40%, due to lower mortgage loan activity.

For the second quarter of 2017, noninterest expenses totaled $69.3 million compared to $71.0 million during the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $1.7 million or 2%. The category with the most significant decrease was salaries and employee benefits, which decreased $859,000 or 2%. At June 30, 2017, Heartland had 1,862 full time equivalent employees compared to 1,888 full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2016.

"Heartland continues to carefully manage noninterest expenses, and we are pleased to see positive results as reflected in our efficiency ratio, which dropped into the 65% range for the quarter," added Fuller.

Heartland's effective tax rate was 26.85% for the second quarter of 2017 compared to 32.37% for the second quarter of 2016. Federal low-income housing tax credits included in the determination of Heartland's income taxes totaled $310,000 during the second quarter of 2017 compared to $304,000 for the second quarter of 2016. Also included in the second quarter of 2017 tax computation was a state tax credit of $830,000 related to a partnership investment in tax credit projects. Heartland's effective tax rate was also affected by the level of tax-exempt interest income which, as a percentage of pre-tax income, was 23.49% during the second quarter of 2017 compared to 18.86% during the second quarter of 2016.

Loans Decrease and Deposits Increase Since December 31, 2016

Total assets were $8.20 billion at June 30, 2017, a decrease of $42.4 million or 1% from $8.25 billion at year-end 2016. Exclusive of the $213.9 million of assets acquired at fair value in the Founders Bancorp transaction, total assets decreased $256.3 million or 3% since December 31, 2016. Securities represented 25% and 26% of total assets at June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Total loans held to maturity were $5.33 billion at June 30, 2017, compared to $5.35 billion at year-end 2016, a decrease of $26.6 million or less than 1%. This change includes $96.4 million of total loans held to maturity acquired at fair value in the Founders Bancorp transaction. Exclusive of this transaction, total loans held to maturity decreased $123.1 million or 2% since December 31, 2016.

Total deposits were $6.93 billion as of June 30, 2017, compared to $6.85 billion at year-end 2016, an increase of $82.8 million or 1%. This increase included $181.5 million of deposits, at fair value, acquired in the Founders Bancorp transaction. Exclusive of this transaction, total deposits decreased $98.7 million since December 31, 2016. Demand deposits totaled $2.36 billion at June 30, 2017, which increased $153.4 million or 7% since year-end 2016, with $94.4 million of the increase attributable to the Founders Bancorp transaction. Savings deposits decreased $83.5 million or 2% to $3.70 billion at June 30, 2017 from $3.79 billion at December 31, 2016. Excluding savings deposits of $63.3 million acquired in the Founders Bancorp transaction, savings deposits decreased $146.8 million since year-end 2016.

Fuller said, "Total deposits eased a bit in the second quarter, though the key category, demand deposits, increased and now represents 34% of total deposits."

Nonperforming Assets Increase Since December 31, 2016

Nonperforming assets were $76.0 million or 0.93% of total assets at June 30, 2017, compared to $74.8 million or 0.91% of total assets at December 31, 2016. Nonperforming loans were $66.1 million or 1.24% of total loans at June 30, 2017, compared to $64.4 million or 1.20% of total loans at December 31, 2016.

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2017, was 1.02% of loans and 81.78% of nonperforming loans, compared to 1.02% of loans and 84.37% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2016. The provision for loan losses was $889,000 for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, provision expense was $4.5 million compared to $4.2 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

(1) Efficiency ratio, fully tax-equivalent, expresses noninterest expenses as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income. This efficiency ratio is presented on a tax-equivalent basis, which adjusts net interest income and noninterest expenses for the tax favored status of certain loans, securities and tax credit projects. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the financial results as it enhances the comparability of income and expenses arising from taxable and nontaxable sources and excludes specific items, as noted in the table. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
(2) Computed on a tax-equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 35%.
