TowneBank Reports First Quarter 2019 Earnings

TOWN

SUFFOLK, Va., April 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TowneBank (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TOWN) today reported earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, of $31.41 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $24.71 million or $0.36 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.  Excluding acquisition-related expenses, earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were $31.77 million (non-GAAP), or $0.44 (non-GAAP) per diluted share, compared to $31.79 million (non-GAAP), or $0.46 (non-GAAP) per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

“As we celebrate our twentieth anniversary since the founding of TowneBank, our consistent financial performance continues to enable us to invest in building a solid pathway to the future through our expansion of our North Carolina and Virginia franchise," said G. Robert Aston, Jr., Executive Chairman.

Highlights for the First Quarter of 2019 Compared to the First Quarter of 2018:

  • Total revenues were $133.85 million, an increase of $7.58 million, or 6.0%.
  • Loans held for investment were $8.11 billion, an increase of $0.64 billion, or 8.50%, from March 31, 2018, and $0.09 billion, or 1.09%, from December 31, 2018, or 4.41% on an annualized basis.
  • Total deposits were $8.73 billion, an increase of $0.91 billion, or 11.58%.
  • Noninterest bearing deposits increased by 12.41%, to $2.81 billion, representing 32.23% of total deposits.
  • Annualized return on common shareholders' equity was 8.30% and annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity was 13.39% (non-GAAP).
  • Net interest margin for the quarter was 3.54% and taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.57% (non-GAAP).
  • Effective tax rate of 20.72% in the quarter compared to 19.74% in the first quarter of 2018.

“Deposit growth was robust in the first quarter.  We continue to add to our production teams in North Carolina.  In addition to 11 member-facing hires in Greensboro and Greenville, North Carolina where we have added over $80 million in new deposits, we have added Jack Clayton in Raleigh as President of Business Strategies for North Carolina.  Jack is a 40-year veteran of Wells Fargo where he led the central and northeastern North Carolina regions.  His proven ability to recruit talent from the national banks and his extensive business contacts will enhance our already strong double-digit growth in North Carolina," said J. Morgan Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Quarterly Net Interest Income Compared to the First Quarter of 2018:

  • Net interest income was $87.47 million compared to $76.34 million at March 31, 2018.
  • Taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.57%, including accretion of 11 basis points, compared to 3.54%, including accretion of 15 basis points, for 2018.
  • Total cost of deposits increased to 0.93% from 0.53% at March 31, 2018.
  • Average interest-earning assets totaled $10.02 billion at March 31, 2019 compared to $8.81 billion at March 31, 2018, an increase of 13.73%.
  • Average loans held for investment represented 80.16% of average earning assets at March 31, 2019 compared to 78.95% at March 31, 2018.
  • Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $6.82 billion, an increase of $0.79 billion from prior year.
  • Management periodically reviews the cost of funds charged to TowneBank Mortgage to fund its operations.  Effective January 1, 2019, the line moved a floating-rate structure tied to Federal Home Loan Bank rates.  As a result of the funding change, interest income declined in the Realty Segment.  All intercompany transaction are eliminated in the Banking Segment.

Quarterly Provision for Loan Losses:

  • Recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.44 million compared to $1.95 million one year ago and $2.29 million in the prior quarter.
  • Net charge-offs were $0.23 million compared to $0.35 million one year prior.  The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.01% compared to 0.02% in both the prior quarter and the first quarter of 2018.
  • The allowance for loan losses represented 0.66% of total loans compared to 0.65% at December 31, 2018 and 0.63% at March 31, 2018.  Loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans, excluding purchased loans, decreased to 0.81%, from 0.82% at December 31, 2018 and 0.86% at March 31, 2018.  The allowance for loan losses was 9.36 times nonperforming loans compared to 10.97 times at December 31, 2018 and 10.40 times at March 31, 2018.

Quarterly Noninterest Income Compared to the First Quarter of 2018:

  • Total noninterest income was $46.38 million compared to $49.93 million in 2018.  The increase in insurance commissions and other title fees of $2.21 million was offset by decreases in residential mortgage banking income of $4.10 million and real estate brokerage of $1.16 million.
  • Residential mortgage banking income was $13.51 million compared to $17.60 million in first quarter 2018.  Loan volume in the current quarter was $513.53 million, with purchase loan activity comprising 86.08%, compared to first quarter 2018 loan volume of $662.45 million, and 80.86% purchase loan activity.  Lower volumes and continued pressure on gain on sale margin contributed to the decline in revenue, combined with a reduction in mortgage producers in certain markets as the Company repositions itself to enhance future growth and profitability.
  • Total Insurance segment revenue increased 17.88% to $18.50 million in first quarter due to additional commission income from two insurance agency acquisitions in 2018 and one insurance agency acquisition in January 2019.
  • Property management fee revenue decreased 11.72%, or $1.02 million, due to lower reservation levels in the current year, as compared to first quarter 2018.

Quarterly Noninterest Expense Compared to the First Quarter of 2018:

  • Total noninterest expense was $92.12 million compared to $92.30 million, a decrease of $0.18 million, or 0.20%.  Driving the decrease was a reduction in acquisition-related expenses of $8.32 million, which was partially offset by increases of $2.08 million in salary and benefits expense, $1.05 million in outside processing expenses, $0.78 million in charitable contributions, and $0.71 million in professional fees.
  • Noninterest expense included operational expenses of insurance agencies acquired subsequent to first quarter 2018 of $2.41 million.

Quarterly Income Taxes Compared to the First Quarter of 2018:

  • Income tax expense was $8.21 million compared to $6.08 million, one year prior.  This represents an effective tax rate of 20.72% compared to 19.74% in the first quarter of 2018.

Investment Securities:

  • Total investment securities were $1.20 billion compared to $1.19 billion at December 31, 2018 and $1.34 billion at March 31, 2018.  The weighted average duration of the portfolio at March 31, 2019 was 3.30 years.  The carrying value of the available-for-sale portfolio included $2.22 million of net unrealized losses compared to $11.91 million at December 31, 2018 and $17.95 million in net unrealized losses at March 31, 2018.  The decrease in net unrealized losses was primarily due to interest rate fluctuations.  During the first quarter of 2019, we sold $100.08 million in available-for-sale securities at a loss of $0.78 million, in order to position our portfolio for better yield, going forward.  The carrying value of the held-to-maturity portfolio does not reflect $1.04 million in net unrealized gains compared to $0.67 million in net unrealized gains at December 31, 2018 and $0.88 million in net unrealized gains at March 31, 2018.

Loans and Asset Quality:
