Community Bank System Reports Record Third Quarter 2017 Results
- Reported GAAP EPS of $0.68 per share and Operating EPS of $0.69 per share
- Increased dividends to shareholders for the 25 th consecutive year
Community Bank System, Inc. (NYSE:CBU) reported third quarter 2017 net income of $35.2 million, or $0.68 per fully diluted
share, compared with $27.2 million, or $0.61 per share reported for the third quarter of 2016. Third quarter 2017’s results
included $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share of acquisition expenses related to the completed acquisition of Merchants Bancshares,
Inc. (“Merchants”). Excluding acquisition expenses, quarterly earnings per share were $0.69 per share, a new quarterly high for the
Company. Diluted earnings per share totaled $1.60 for the first nine months of 2017, compared to $1.74 per share in the first nine
months of 2016. Excluding acquisition expenses, year-to-date earnings per share were $1.96, or 12.6% above the first nine months of
2016.
“We realized another record performance reflecting full third quarter contributions from our Northeast Retirement Services, Inc.
(“NRS”) acquisition completed in February, and from our Merchants Bancshares merger which closed in May,” said President and Chief
Executive Officer Mark E. Tryniski. “Both of these high-value transactions have performed above our initial expectations. NRS
continued to grow both its top and bottom line performance at a double-digit pace, and the Merchants integration has proceeded
smoothly with cost synergies running ahead of plan. Our accelerated operating performance, reflects improvements in expense
management, credit quality and growth in non-interest income, all of which contributed to the 13% increase in per share results
(excluding acquisition expenses) compared with the third quarter of 2016. We are well positioned to continue delivering a high
level of operating performance for the benefit of our shareholders.”
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2017 were $137.3 million, an increase of $28.9 million, or 26.7%, over the
prior year quarter, and included a full quarter of revenues from both the Merchants and NRS transactions completed in the first
half of this year. Higher revenues were generated as a result of a 23.0% increase in average earning assets and continued growth in
noninterest income, partially offset by a three basis-point decline in the net interest margin from the prior year quarter. A
combination of acquired and organic growth resulted in a $10.6 million, or 47.9% increase in wealth management, insurance, and
employee benefit services revenues. Deposit service fees increased 23.7% year-over-year, primarily the result of the addition of
Merchants, as well as increased card-related revenues. Other banking services declined $1.2 million from the third quarter of 2016,
almost entirely related to an insurance-related gain experienced last year. The quarterly provision for loan losses of $2.3
million was $0.5 million higher than the third quarter of 2016, primarily reflective of modestly higher quarterly
net charge-off levels. Benefitting from the addition of the Merchants’ loan portfolios, non-performing asset and delinquent loan
ratios were lower than the end of the third quarter of 2016. Total third quarter operating expenses were $83.8 million, and
included $0.6 million of non-recurring acquisition expenses related to the Merchants transaction. Excluding acquisition expenses
from both periods, total operating expenses of $83.2 million for the third quarter were $17.0 million, or 25.6% above the
third quarter of 2016, and included the operating expenses from Merchants and NRS, as well as an additional $3.6 million of
intangible amortization, primarily from the two transactions.
Third quarter 2017 net interest income was $84.4 million, an increase of $15.9 million, or 23.3%, compared to the third quarter
of 2016, and included a full quarter from Merchants. A two basis-point increase in combined funding costs and a slight decline in
earning asset yields, which included an incremental $1.3 million in purchased loan accretion, resulted in a three basis-point
decrease in net interest margin quarter-over-quarter. Average loan balances grew $1.43 billion, or 29.1%, principally related to
the Merchants transaction, while average loan yields increased one basis point quarter-over-quarter, including the incremental
purchased loan accretion. Investment interest income was $1.4 million higher than the third quarter of 2016, as average investment
securities (including cash equivalents) balances increased by $340.1 million, while the yield on investments declined 18 basis
points. Interest expense was $1.2 million higher than the previous year’s quarter, driven by a $213.5 million increase in average
borrowings (including customer repurchase agreements) and a $1.56 billion increase in average deposit balances, principally related
to the Merchants transaction, and a net two basis point increase in the cost of funds.
Wealth management and insurance services revenues increased to $12.1 million, $1.1 million, or 10.3%, higher than the third
quarter of 2016, driven by both acquired and organic growth. Employee benefit services revenues of $20.8 million increased $9.5
million from the third quarter of 2016, primarily from the NRS acquisition.
Excluding acquisition expenses related to the Merchants’ transaction, third quarter 2017 operating expenses of $83.2 million,
which included a full quarter of operating activities from both Merchants and NRS, increased $17.0 million over the third quarter
of 2016. Salaries and employee benefits increased $8.3 million, or 21.6%, and included the personnel added from both transactions,
as well as planned merit increases. All other expenses increased 31.2%, and reflected the occupancy, equipment and other operating
costs of both Merchants and NRS, including significantly higher intangible amortization, compared to the third quarter of 2016.
During the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for share-based transactions. That guidance
requires that all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with share-based compensation be recognized as income tax
expense or benefit in the income statement. Previously, tax effects resulting from changes in the Company’s share price subsequent
to the grant date of equity instruments were recorded through shareholders’ equity at the time of vesting or exercise. The adoption
of the amended accounting guidance resulted in a $2.2 million reduction of income tax expense in the first quarter of 2017, or
$0.04 of diluted earnings per common share, and a $0.3 million reduction of income tax expense in both the second and third
quarters, or less than $0.01 per share each quarter. The third quarter 2017 effective income tax was 31.2%, down from 32.8% in the
prior year quarter, and reflected the $0.3 million reduction in income tax expense related to this change in accounting for
share-based transactions, and also included the impact of the non-recurring acquisition expenses incurred in the first nine months
of 2017.
The Company also provides supplemental reporting of its results on a “net adjusted” or “tangible” basis, from which it excludes
the after-tax effect of amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets (and the related goodwill, core deposit intangible
and other intangible asset balances, net of applicable deferred tax amounts), accretion on non-impaired purchased loans, and
expenses associated with acquisitions. The amounts of such expenses are presented in the tables that accompany this release.
Although “adjusted net income” as defined by the Company is a non-GAAP measure, the Company’s management believes this information
helps investors understand the effect of acquisition activity in its reported results. Adjusted net earnings per share were $0.73
in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $0.62 in the third quarter of 2016, or a 17.7% increase.
Financial Position
Average earning assets of $9.45 billion for the third quarter of 2017 were up $1.77 billion, or 23.0% from the third quarter of
2016, and included a full quarter from the Merchants transaction. Similarly, average deposit balances grew $1.56 billion, or 22.4%
compared to the third quarter of 2016. Average borrowings (including customer repurchase agreements) in the third quarter of 2017
of $541.0 million, were $213.5 million, or 65.2%, higher than the third quarter of last year.
Ending loans at September 30, 2017 increased $1.37 billion, or 27.7%, year-over-year, reflecting the Merchants acquisition.
Investment securities totaled $3.13 billion at September 30, 2017, down slightly from the end of the second quarter, and up from
the previous three quarter-ends due to investments added from Merchants, and partially offset by limited reinvestment of securities
cash flows over the last twelve months.
Shareholders’ equity of $1.59 billion at September 30, 2017 was $352.7 million, or 28.4%, higher than the prior year period, a
result of strong earnings generation and capital retention over the last four quarters, as well as incremental shares issued in
conjunction with the NRS and Merchants acquisitions. The Company’s net tangible equity to net tangible assets ratio was 8.37% at
September 30, 2017, down from 9.66% a year earlier, a result of the two acquisitions completed in the first half of 2017. The
Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.54% at the end of the third quarter, compared to 10.35% a year earlier.
As previously announced in December 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the
repurchase of up to 2.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock during a twelve-month period starting January 1, 2017. Such
repurchases may be made at the discretion of the Company’s senior management based on market conditions and other relevant factors
and will be acquired through open market or privately negotiated transactions as permitted under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and other applicable legal requirements. There were no shares repurchased in the first nine months of
2017.
Asset Quality
The Company’s asset quality metrics continue to be favorable relative to comparative peer and industry averages and illustrate
the long-term effectiveness of the Company’s disciplined risk management and underwriting standards. Net charge-offs were $1.8
million for the third quarter, compared to $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $1.1 million for the second quarter of
2017. Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of average loans measured 0.11% in the third quarter of 2017, compared to 0.12%
in last year’s third quarter and 0.08% in the second quarter of 2017. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans at
September 30, 2017 were 0.37%, improved from 0.47% at September 30, 2016 and generally consistent with 0.36% at June 30, 2017. The
total loan delinquency ratio of 1.05% at the end of the third quarter was one basis point lower than the level at September 30,
2016, and six basis points higher than this year’s second quarter-end. The third quarter provision for loan losses of $2.3 million
was $0.5 million higher than the third quarter of 2016, and $0.9 million higher than the second quarter of 2017. The allowance for
loan losses to nonperforming loans was 205% at September 30, 2017, compared with the 201% and 207% levels at the end of the third
quarter of 2016 and second quarter of 2017, respectively.
Dividend Increase
During the third quarter of 2017 the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share on its common stock, compared
to a $0.32 dividend declared in the second quarter of 2017 and the third quarter of 2016. This increase marked the 25th
consecutive year of dividend increases for the Company. President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark E. Tryniski, commented, “The
payment of a meaningful and growing dividend is an important component of our commitment to provide consistent and favorable
long-term returns to our shareholders. The increase reflected the continued strength of our current operating performance and
capital position.” The two cent, or 6.3%, increase in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend over the same quarter of the prior
year, represents an annualized yield of 2.44% based upon its’ closing price of $55.74 on October 20, 2017.
Merchants Bancshares, Inc.
On October 24, 2016, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Merchants Bancshares, Inc.
("Merchants"), parent company of Merchants Bank headquartered in South Burlington, Vermont, for approximately $345.2 million in
