Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. Announces 2013 Second Quarter Net Income of $3.1Million; Strong Loan and Deposit Growth
LOWELL, MA-(GlobeNewswire)-(July 18, 2013) - Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EBTC), parent of Enterprise Bank, announces net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $3.1 million, an increase of $174 thousand, or 6%, compared to the same three-month period in 2012. Diluted earnings per share were $0.31 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $0.01, or 3%, compared to the same period in 2012. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $6.5 million, an increase of $434 thousand, or 7%, compared to the same six-month period in 2012. Diluted earnings per share were $0.66 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $0.03, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2012.
  
As previously announced on July 16, 2013, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.115 per share to be paid on September 3, 2013 to shareholders of record as of August 13, 2013. The quarterly dividend represents a 4.5% increase over the 2012 dividend rate.

Total assets increased $87.6 million, or 5.3%, since December 31, 2012, amounting to $1.75 billion at June 30, 2013. Loans outstanding and deposits, excluding brokered deposits, have increased $87.7 million, or 6.4%, and $54.8 million, or 3.7%, respectively, in the first six months of 2013.

Chief Executive Officer Jack Clancy commented, “Our second quarter results reflect our continued organic growth and market expansion. Total assets and loans have grown 11% and 13%, respectively, on an annualized basis in 2013. Average deposits, excluding brokered deposits, for the first six months of 2013 have increased 6% as compared to the same period in 2012. We continue to focus on investments in technology, our communities, and most importantly, our family of Enterprise employees as we look to continue to strengthen our franchise in Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.
George L. Duncan, Founder and Chairman, commented that “Our expanding branch network and our highly skilled and experienced banking team combined with state-of-the-art products and services position us well for the future. We were extremely grateful for the warm and enthusiastic welcome Enterprise Bankers received in April as we opened our new office at 290 Merrimack Street, in the Riverwalk complex in Lawrence. Our Lawrence team has cultivated many new business and community relationships during its first months in operation.  We are also looking forward to our new Nashua, NH office, which is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2013. We continue to focus our efforts to play a leadership role in all the communities we serve. One example of this deeply- rooted commitment is Enterprise's 'Celebration of Excellence,' held May 7 at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. The evening celebrated the many unsung heroes in our region, including individuals, educators, non-profits and businesses, that make our region so special. We are extremely proud of this signature Enterprise event and look forward to hosting our 5th Celebration of Excellence in late 2014.
Results of Operations
The Company's growth contributed to increases in net interest income, non-interest income and the level of operating expenses for the current year compared to the same 2012 period. Non-interest income also increased as a result of higher gains on securities sales in the current year. Additionally, the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was impacted by a lower loan loss provision compared to the same period in 2012, partially offset by the costs of our community event held in May 2013.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $16.1 million, an increase of $716 thousand, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2012. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $31.9 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2012. This increase in net interest income was due primarily to revenue generated from loan growth, primarily in commercial real estate loans, partially offset by a decrease in tax equivalent net interest margin ("margin"). Average loan balances (including loans held for sale) increased $162.3 million and $150.6 million for the three and six months ended




June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. Net interest margin was 4.08% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to 4.31% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Margin was 4.16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Year-to-date margins were 4.12% and 4.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Consistent with the industry, the margin continued to trend downward, as the yield on interest-earning assets declined faster than the cost of funding, as funding rates have reached a level leaving little room for significant reductions.
  
The provision for loan losses amounted to $534 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the provision for loan losses amounted to $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. In determining the provision to the allowance for loan losses, management takes into consideration the level of loan growth and an estimate of credit risk, which includes such items as adversely classified and non-performing loans, the estimated specific reserves needed for impaired loans, the level of net charge-offs, and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on credit quality. The level of loan growth for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was $87.7 million, compared to $44.7 million during the same period in 2012. The balance of the allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans amounted to $4.2 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $3.6 million at June 30, 2012. Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 1.24% at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.61% at June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded net recoveries of $100 thousand. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net charge-offs were $1.4 million. Management continues to closely monitor the non-performing assets, charge-offs and necessary allowance levels, including specific reserves. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 1.77% at June 30, 2013, 1.78% at December 31, 2012 and 1.79% at June 30, 2012.

Non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $3.6 million and $7.2 million, increases of $601 thousand, or 20%, and $1.3 million, or 21%, respectively compared to the same periods in 2012. The increases over the 2012 periods were primarily due to increases in gains on securities sales, deposit and interchange fees and investment advisory fee income. The year-to-date increase also benefited from gains on loan sales.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $14.5 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 11%, compared to the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, non-interest expense amounted to $27.9 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Increased expenses related to salaries and benefits, occupancy and technology over the comparable periods in the prior year were primarily due to the Company's strategic growth initiatives, including branch expansion. Advertising increased over the prior year periods primarily due to the timing of corporate community events. Partially offsetting these increases were reductions in legal and other professional costs.
