DUBUQUE, Iowa, July 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heartland Financial USA, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTLF) today reported net income available to common stockholders of $45.2 million, or $1.26 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to $27.9 million, or $0.85 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2018. Return on average common equity was 12.56% and return on average assets was 1.55% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 9.81% and 1.05%, respectively, for the same quarter in 2018.

Net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $76.7 million or $2.17 per diluted common share, compared to $51.1 million or $1.61 per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Return on average common equity was 11.13% and return on average assets was 1.35% for the first six months of 2019, compared to 9.58% and 1.01% for the same period in 2018.

Commenting on Heartland’s first quarter results, Lynn B. Fuller, Heartland’s executive operating chairman, said, "Heartland set new quarterly and year-to-date net income records for the period ended June 30, 2019. Net income of $45.2 million represents a 62 percent increase over the second quarter of 2018, while year-to-date net income of $76.7 million represents a 50 percent increase over the previous year."

On May 10, 2019, Heartland completed the acquisition of Blue Valley Ban Corp ("BVBC") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Blue Valley, headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. Based on Heartland's closing common stock price of $44.78 per share on May 10, 2019, the aggregate consideration paid to BVBC common shareholders was $92.3 million, which was paid by delivery of Heartland common stock. Immediately following the closing of the transaction, Bank of Blue Valley was merged with and into Heartland's wholly-owned Kansas subsidiary, Morrill & Janes Bank and Trust Company, and the combined entity operates under the Bank of Blue Valley brand. As of the closing date, BVBC had, at fair value, total assets of $766.2 million, total loans held to maturity of $542.0 million, and total deposits of $617.1 million. Heartland also assumed, at fair value, $16.1 million of trust preferred debt. The systems conversion for this transaction is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2019.

In keeping with its focus on core businesses and execution of strategic priorities, during the second quarter of 2019, Heartland completed the sale of two branches of Dubuque Bank and Trust Company, two branches of Illinois Bank & Trust and one branch of Citywide Banks, which resulted in a reduction of loans of $27.1 million and deposits of $107.8 million. On April 30, 2019, Dubuque Bank and Trust Company closed on the sale of substantially all its mortgage servicing rights to PNC Bank, N.A. The mortgage servicing rights had a book value of $21.0 million and an estimated fair value of $37.1 million as of March 31, 2019. In the agreement, which includes customary terms and conditions, Dubuque Bank and Trust Company is providing interim servicing of the loans until the transfer date, which is expected to be in August 2019.

Heartland is utilizing a portion of the net gains from these sales transactions, which totaled approximately $19.8 million and are recorded in the gain/loss on sales/valuations of assets, net, on the consolidated income statement, to invest in several new technology and process improvement projects. These projects include system upgrades, process automation, and expansion of online and mobile banking capabilities.

"We are excited about the technology and process improvement projects that are currently underway. We believe these projects will allow us to focus on growing our core business, improve our efficiency, and reduce our compliance and operational risks," said Bruce K. Lee, Heartland's president and chief executive officer.

Net Interest Income Increases, Net Interest Margin Decreases, from Second Quarter of 2018

Net interest margin, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, was 4.06% (4.10% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the second quarter of 2019, compared to 4.12% (4.18% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the first quarter of 2019 and 4.23% (4.30% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the second quarter of 2018.

"Our fully tax-equivalent net interest margin declined eight basis points during the second quarter of 2019, compared to the first quarter, primarily due to increased deposit market rates. We will remain competitive, yet disciplined in our deposit pricing strategies as we navigate through the ever-changing interest rate environment," Lee said.

Growth in total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was primarily due to recent increases in market interest rates and the increase in average earning assets. Total interest income for the second quarter of 2019 was $127.0 million compared to $113.4 million recorded in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $13.6 million or 12%. The tax-equivalent adjustment for income taxes saved on the interest earned on nontaxable securities and loans was $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 and $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2018. With these adjustments, total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $128.3 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $13.3 million or 12%, compared to total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $115.0 million for the second quarter of 2018. Average earning assets of $10.55 billion increased $937.4 million or 10% from the second quarter of 2018, which was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions. The average rate on earning assets increased 8 basis points to 4.88% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to 4.80% for the same quarter in 2018.

Increases in total interest expense were primarily due to recent increases in market interest rates and deposit growth from recent acquisitions. Total interest expense for the second quarter of 2019 was $20.3 million, an increase of $8.3 million or 69% from $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2018. The average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing liabilities increased to 1.18% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to 0.78% for the second quarter of 2018, which was primarily due to recent increases in market interest rates. Average interest bearing deposits increased $713.3 million or 12% to $6.50 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, from $5.79 billion in the same quarter in 2018, which was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions. The average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing deposits increased 44 basis points to 0.99% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to 0.55% for the same quarter in 2018. Average borrowings decreased $46.0 million or 11% to $369.3 million during the second quarter of 2019 from $415.3 million during the same quarter in 2018. The average interest rate paid on Heartland's borrowings was 4.52% for the second quarter of 2019 compared to 3.88% in the second quarter of 2018.

Net interest income was $106.7 million during the second quarter of 2019 compared to $101.4 million during the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $5.3 million or 5%. After the tax-equivalent adjustment discussed above, net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $108.0 million during the second quarter of 2019 compared to net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $103.0 million during the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $5.0 million or 5%.

Noninterest Income Increases and Noninterest Expense Decreases from Second Quarter of 2018

Total noninterest income was $32.1 million during the second quarter of 2019 compared to $27.6 million during the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $4.4 million or 16%. Significant changes by noninterest income category were:

  • Service charges and fees increased $2.6 million or 21% to $14.6 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $12.1 million for the same quarter of 2018. Service charges related to credit card income increased $1.2 million or 37% to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 from $3.0 million for the same quarter of 2018. The remainder of the increase in service charges was primarily attributable to Heartland's larger customer base as a result of recent acquisitions.
  • Securities gains, net, totaled $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to net securities losses of $259,000 in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Net gains on sale of loans held for sale totaled $4.3 million during the second quarter of 2019 compared to $6.8 million during the same quarter in 2018, which was a decrease of $2.5 million or 36%, primarily due to the outsourcing of Heartland's legacy mortgage lending operations in the fourth quarter of 2018.
  • Other noninterest income totaled $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, which was an increase of $515,000 or 44%.

For the second quarter of 2019, total noninterest expense was $75.1 million compared to $88.9 million during the second quarter of 2018, a decrease of $13.8 million or 16%. Significant changes by noninterest expense category were:

  • Net gains on sales/valuations of assets totaled $18.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to net losses on sales/valuations of assets of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net gains from the branch sales totaled $6.5 million, and the gain on the sale of the mortgage servicing rights totaled $13.3 million.

"Organic non-time deposit growth was $141.6 million for the first six months of 2019, which represents a 2 percent increase since year-end 2018. Non-time deposits represented 89 percent of total deposits at June 30, 2019," Lee stated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains references to financial measures which are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes the non-GAAP measures are helpful for investors to analyze and evaluate Heartland's financial condition and operating results. However, these non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations and should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, because non-GAAP measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP measures in this press release with other companies' non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure may be found in the financial tables in this press release.

Below are the non-GAAP measures included in this press release, management's reason for including each measure and the method of calculating each measure:

  • Annualized return on average tangible common equity is net income available to common stockholders plus  core deposit and customer relationship intangibles amortization, net of tax, divided by average common stockholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit and customer relationship intangibles, net. This measure is included as it is considered to be a critical metric to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.
  • Annualized net interest margin, fully tax-equivalent, adjusts net interest income for the tax-favored status of certain loans and securities. Management believes this measure enhances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.
  • 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 reconciliation contained in this press release.
  • Tangible book value per common share is total common stockholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit and customer relationship intangibles, net, divided by common shares outstanding, net of treasury. This measure is included as it is considered to be a critical metric to analyze and evaluate use of equity, financial condition and capital strength.
  • Tangible common equity ratio is total common stockholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit and customer relationship intangibles, net, divided by total assets less goodwill and core deposit and customer relationship intangibles, net. This measure is included as it is considered to be a critical metric to analyze and evaluate use of equity, financial condition and capital strength.
