National Commerce Corporation Announces Third Quarter 2017 Earnings

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Commerce Corporation (Nasdaq:NCOM) (“NCC” or the “Company”), the parent company of National Bank of Commerce (“NBC”), today reported third quarter 2017 net income to common shareholders of $6.7 million, compared to $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2016.  Diluted net earnings per share were $0.46 in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $0.48 in the second quarter of 2017 and $0.43 in the third quarter of 2016. In connection with the Company’s June 2017 public offering of common stock, the Company issued 1,104,000 additional shares that were outstanding for the entire third quarter of 2017, increasing the diluted share count and thereby decreasing diluted net earnings per share by approximately $0.04.

“We are pleased with the Company’s growth, profitability, and asset quality in the third quarter,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Murray, IV.  “With continued focus and hard work, we believe that we are in position to have a strong year in 2017.”

As previously announced, the Company closed the acquisition of Patriot Bank on August 31, 2017.  Accordingly, the third quarter results include Patriot Bank’s operations for one month.  In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 706,702 shares of its common stock and approximately $3.0 million in cash to Patriot Bank shareholders for all of the outstanding shares of Patriot Bank common stock.

“We welcome the Patriot Bank shareowners, customers, and team members to our Company,” said Murray.  “We are excited about our future growth in the greater Tampa Bay market under the leadership of David Key and his team.”

Several important measures from the third quarter of 2017 are as follows:

  • Net Interest Margin (taxable equivalent) of 4.58% for the third quarter of 2017, compared to 4.34% for the second quarter of 2017 and 4.18% for the third quarter of 2016.  The third quarter 2017 margin increased 0.24% compared to the 2017 second quarter due to a change in the earning asset mix (lower levels of cash and cash equivalents) and a 0.07% increase in loan yields, offset slightly by a 0.01% increase in the cost of deposits.  Interest income on loans for the third quarter of 2017 included $1.1 million in loan accretion income, compared to $1.2 million of loan accretion income for the second quarter of 2017.
     
  • Return on Average Assets of 1.08% for the third quarter of 2017, identical to the third quarter of 2016.  Return on Average Tangible Common Equity of 9.94% for the third quarter of 2017, compared to 10.90% for the third quarter of 2016.  The third quarter of 2017 measure includes the additional common stock issued in the Company’s June 2017 public offering.

  • Third quarter 2017 loan growth (excluding mortgage loans held-for-sale and $121.6 million of loans acquired from Patriot Bank) of $56.2 million. Excluding factored receivables in the Company’s factoring subsidiary, Corporate Billing, LLC, and loans acquired from Patriot Bank, third quarter 2017 loan growth was approximately $51.5 million.

  • Excluding the acquired deposits from Patriot Bank totaling $127.7 million, deposits decreased $34.9 million during the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to a decline in a few large deposit relationships and the maturity of a $9.8 million brokered certificate of deposit.

  • $122.7 million in 2017 third quarter mortgage production, compared to $133.1 million for the second quarter of 2017 and $91.6 million for the third quarter of 2016.  The 2017 second and third quarter production totals include mortgages closed by the mortgage division that the Company acquired in the Private Bancshares, Inc. transaction.

  • $259.5 million in 2017 third quarter purchased volume in the factoring division, compared to $251.0 million for the second quarter of 2017 and $172.4 million for the third quarter of 2016.

  • An increase in non-acquired non-performing assets to $1.9 million at September 30, 2017, from $1.2 million at June 30, 2017. 

  • Annualized net charge-offs of 0.05% of average loans for the third quarter of 2017, compared to net charge-offs of 0.07% for the second quarter of 2017 and 0.02% for the third quarter of 2016.

  • Provision for loan losses of $1.1 million during the third quarter of 2017, compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $373 thousand in the third quarter of 2016.  The increase during the third quarter of 2017 was attributable to growth in non-acquired loans.

  • During the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized merger-related expenses of $417 thousand, for an after-tax impact of approximately $340 thousand (considering the non-deductibility of certain items), representing approximately $0.02 per diluted share.
     
  • Ending tangible book value per share of $18.84.

  • Ending book value per share of $26.97.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures presented in this press release and included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements are not measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).  These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, efficiency ratio and operating efficiency ratio.  The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of the Company’s performance.

  • “Tangible common equity” is total shareholders’ equity less goodwill, other intangible assets and minority interest not included in intangible assets. 

  • “Average tangible common equity” is defined as the average of tangible common equity for the applicable period.

  • “Return on average tangible common equity,” or ROATCE, is defined as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common equity.

  • “Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding.  This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

The Company’s management believes that these measures, each of which utilizes the concept of tangible common equity rather than total common equity, provide useful information to management and investors because they eliminate the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets created in an acquisition.  These measures are commonly used by investors when assessing financial institutions.

  •  “Efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue (which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income), excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities.  This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

  • “Operating efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue, excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities and one-time gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition activities.  This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.    

The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, the Company acknowledges that the non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations.  As such, the Company cautions readers that these disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these disclosures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.  These non-GAAP financial measures exclude various items detailed in the attached “Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”
