Community Bank System Reports First Quarter 2019 Results

CBU

SYRACUSE, N.Y.

Community Bank System, Inc. (NYSE:CBU) reported first quarter 2019 net income of $41.9 million, or $0.80 per fully diluted share. This compares to $40.1 million of net income, or $0.78 per share reported for the first quarter of 2018. The $0.02 increase in earnings per share was attributable to an increase in net interest income and decreases in the provision for loan losses and income taxes, offset in part by a decrease in bank noninterest revenues, higher operating expenses and an increase in fully-diluted shares outstanding. Comparatively, the Company recorded $0.78 in fully diluted earnings per share for the linked fourth quarter of 2018. Operating earnings per share, which excludes acquisition expenses and unrealized gain on equity securities, were $0.81 for the first quarter of 2019, a $0.03 improvement over the first quarter 2018 operating earnings per share.

First Quarter 2019 Performance Highlights:

  • First quarter GAAP EPS of $0.80; up $0.02 over first quarter of 2018
  • First quarter Operating EPS of $0.81; up $0.03 over the first quarter of 2018
  • Net interest margin of 3.80% increased 9 basis points over first quarter of 2018
  • Deposit funding costs of 0.20%
  • Return on assets of 1.59%
  • Return on tangible equity of 17.61%
  • Noninterest revenues represent 39.1% of operating revenues
  • Announced the acquisition of Kinderhook Bank Corp.

“Our improved first quarter 2019 operating results were driven by a combination of net interest income growth, increased financial services revenue and a continuation of excellent credit quality metrics, “said Mark E. Tryniski, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The strong performance of our core banking business worked to offset a $0.05 reduction in earnings per share related to the Durbin debit interchange price restrictions which became effective for the Company in the third quarter of 2018. Net interest income was up $2.2 million over the first quarter of 2018 and the net interest margin increased nine basis points to 3.80%, reflecting an increase in total loans and the favorable effect of certain loan pre-payment fees, which added four basis points to the net interest margin. Total deposits increased $297.3 million, or 3.6%, in the quarter primarily from significant increases to transaction and savings accounts. In January, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire Kinderhook Bank Corp., parent company of National Union Bank of Kinderhook. This transaction will extend our banking footprint into the attractive Capital District markets which are similar to the other Upstate New York markets in which we are a strong competitor. This investment also complements the financial commitment we made in 2018 when we added an experienced commercial banking team focused on the greater Albany area. We’re pleased with a first quarter performance that’s reflective of consistent and effective execution of our ongoing business strategy.”

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $142.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 0.3%, over the prior year quarter. Net interest income increased $2.2 million, or 2.6%, to $86.9 million due to an improvement in the net interest margin, while noninterest revenues decreased $1.8 million, or 3.1%, between comparable quarters. A $3.0 million decrease in banking noninterest revenues, due primarily to the impact of Durbin-related debit interchange price restrictions, and a $0.3 million decrease in wealth management services revenues was offset, in part, by a $1.0 million, or 4.6% increase in employee benefit services revenues and a $0.5 million, or 6.8%, increase in the insurance services revenues. Noninterest revenues of $55.7 million comprised 39.1% of the Company’s total revenues during the first quarter of 2019, similar to 2018 full year results.

Interest income and fees on loans increased $4.3 million versus the comparable prior year quarter due to both an increase in average total loans outstanding and an increase in the yield on all categories of loans, reflective of higher market rates. The results for the quarter were favorably impacted by $1.0 million in one-time loan fees. Comparatively, the first quarter of 2018 was favorably impacted by $0.7 million in impaired loan accretion. A $0.4 million increase in interest income on cash equivalents between comparable annual quarters was partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in interest income on the investment securities portfolio due primarily to a $65.4 million decrease in average outstanding balances on the Company’s non-taxable municipal investment securities portfolio. The average yield on cash equivalents increased from 1.54% in the first quarter of 2018 to 2.33% in the first quarter of 2019, reflective of increases in short-term market interest rates, and the average balance of cash equivalents increased $30.9 million. Interest expense was $2.0 million higher than the previous year’s first quarter, driven by an increase in the average cost of deposit liabilities. The average cost of deposits was 0.20% in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to 0.10% in the first quarter of 2018, reflective of market driven rate increases for deposits between the periods. By comparison, the average cost of deposits during the linked fourth quarter of 2018 was 0.16%.

The quarterly provision for loan losses of $2.4 million was $1.3 million lower than the first quarter of 2018 reflective of moderate improvements in the Company’s credit quality metrics. Non-performing loans decreased to 0.39% of total loans outstanding, as compared to 0.48% of total loans outstanding at the end of the first quarter of 2018 and 0.40% at the end of the linked fourth quarter. Similarly, delinquent loans to total loans outstanding decreased to 0.88% at the end of the first quarter of 2019. This compares to 1.01% at the end of the first quarter of 2018 and 1.00% at the end of the linked fourth quarter. Net-charge offs decreased $0.6 million from the first quarter of 2018, due largely to a decrease in net charge-offs in the business lending and consumer indirect loan portfolios.

Employee benefit services revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $24.1 million. This represents a $1.0 million, or 4.6%, increase over first quarter 2018 revenues. The improvement in revenues was driven by growth in the Company’s collective investment fund administration and trust business, as well as growth in actuarial services revenues. The Company recorded $7.9 million in insurance services revenues during the first quarter of 2019, a $0.5 million, or 6.8%, increase over first quarter 2018 results, reflective of solid new business generation. Wealth management revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $6.3 million. This compares to wealth management revenues of $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2018. Banking noninterest revenues decreased $3.0 million due to a net $3.1 million decrease in debit interchange fees and a $0.3 million decrease in other banking fees, including mortgage banking and deposit service fees, offset in part by a $0.4 million gain on life insurance.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $88.7 million, representing a $2.3 million, or 2.7%, increase from the first quarter of 2018 due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, data processing and communications, business development and marketing expenses, and acquisition expenses. These increases were offset by decreases in occupancy and equipment expense, amortization of intangible assets, legal and professional fees, office supplies and postage, FDIC insurance premiums and other expenses. Exclusive of $0.5 million of acquisition expenses, total operating expenses increased $1.8 million, or 2.1%, between the comparable quarterly periods.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was 18.5%, down from 23.0% in the first quarter of 2018. The Company had significantly higher levels of deductions related to stock based compensation activity in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to the first quarter of 2018. Exclusive of stock-based compensation tax benefits, the Company’s effective tax rate was 21.8% in the first quarter of 2019.

The Company also provides supplemental reporting of its results on an “operating,” “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, expenses associated with acquisitions, the unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities and loss on debt extinguishment. The amounts for such items are presented in the tables that accompany this release. Although these items are non-GAAP measures, the Company’s management believes this information helps investors understand the effect of acquisition and other non-recurring activity in its reported results. Diluted adjusted net earnings per share were $0.85 in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $0.82 in the first quarter of 2018, a 3.7% increase.

Financial Position

Average earning assets were up $67.0 million, or 0.7%, on a linked quarter basis, from $9.31 billion during the fourth quarter of 2018 to $9.37 billion during the first quarter of 2019. Average loan balances during the first quarter of 2019 were $6.27 billion, down $2.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2018. Average deposit balances were up $48.8 million, or 0.6%, from fourth quarter 2018 levels, due largely to an increase in public fund deposits as seasonally anticipated. Ending deposits were also up $297.3 million, or 3.6%, with growth in all categories of deposits, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing checking, savings, money market and time deposits. Average borrowings, including customer repurchase agreements, in the first quarter of 2019 of $373.7 million, were down $15.7 million, or 4.0%, from the fourth quarter 2018 average of $389.4 million.

Ending loans at March 31, 2019 were $6.27 billion. This was down $15.0 million, or 0.2%, from the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, but up $39.1 million, or 0.6%, when compared to March 31, 2018. During the first quarter of 2019 and consistent with seasonal expectations, outstanding balances in the consumer indirect, consumer direct and home equity portfolios decreased $30.5 million. This was partially offset, by a $13.5 million increase in the business lending portfolio and a $2.0 million increase in consumer mortgage balances.

Investment securities totaled $2.97 billion at March 31, 2019, down $15.5 million, or 0.5%, from the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 and down $66.5 million, or 2.2% from March 31, 2018. The net unrealized gain in this portfolio was $7.9 million at March 31, 2019, as compared to a $16.0 million unrealized loss at December 31, 2018, a $23.9 million increase due to changes in market interest rates. These compare to a net unrealized loss of $17.9 million at March 31, 2018. The effective duration of the portfolio was 3.0 years at the end of the first quarter of 2019.

Shareholders’ equity of $1.76 billion at March 31, 2019 was $43.3 million, or 2.5%, higher than the fourth quarter of 2018 and $125.7 million, or 7.7%, higher than March 31, 2018. The Company’s net tangible equity to net tangible assets ratio was 9.83% at March 31, 2019, up from 8.42% a year earlier and 9.68% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.27% at the end of the first quarter of 2019, up from 10.19% a year earlier. These results are primarily a result of strong earnings generation and capital retention over the last four quarters.

As previously announced in December 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock during a twelve-month period starting January 1, 2019. 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 pursuant to the program in 2019.

Asset Quality

The Company’s asset quality metrics continue to illustrate the long-term effectiveness of the Company’s disciplined risk management and underwriting standards. Total net charge-offs were $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2019. This compares to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in net charge-offs between the periods was due primarily to decreases in net charge-offs in business lending and the consumer indirect portfolios. Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of average loans measured 0.17% in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to 0.21% in the first quarter of 2018. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans at the end of the first quarter of 2019 were 0.39%. This compares to 0.40% at the end of the linked fourth quarter of 2018 and 0.48% at March 31, 2018, decreases of one basis point and nine basis points, respectively. The total loan delinquency ratio of 0.88% at the end of the first quarter of 2019 was 12 basis points lower than the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 and 13 basis points lower than the level one year earlier. The first quarter 2019 provision for loan losses of $2.4 million was $1.3 million lower than the first quarter of 2018 and $0.1 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2018. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 202% at March 31, 2019, compared with 197% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 and 162% a year earlier. The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $49.1 million, or 0.78%, of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2019, as compared to $48.1 million, or 0.77% of total loans outstanding at the end of the first quarter of 2018.

Dividend Increase

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per share on its common stock, up 11.8% from the $0.34 dividend declared in the first quarter of 2018, representing an annualized yield of 2.4% based upon the $62.38 closing price of the Company’s stock on April 18, 2019. The four cent increase declared in the third quarter of 2018 marked the 26th consecutive year of dividend increases for the Company. “The improvement of our earnings and cash flow results continue to provide further strength to capital accumulation and dividend capacity,” said Mr. Tryniski.

Kinderhook Bank Corp.

On January 22, 2019, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Kinderhook Bank Corp., parent company of National Union Bank of Kinderhook, pursuant to which the Company will acquire Kinderhook Bank Corp. in an all cash transaction representing total consideration valued at approximately $93.4 million (the “Merger”). The Merger will extend the Company’s footprint into the Capital District of Upstate New York. Upon completion, Community Bank, N.A., the Company’s banking subsidiary, will add 11 branch locations across a five county area with approximately $630 million in assets, and deposits of $550 million. The Company has received the regulatory approvals necessary to complete the Merger, including approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and a waiver from filing an application with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. At the present time, the Company expects the Merger to close early in the third quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the shareholders of Kinderhook Bank Corp.
