Brookline Bancorp Announces Fourth Quarter Results



Net Income of $10.8 million, EPS of $0.15

BOSTON, Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookline Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRKL) (the "Company") today announced net income of $10.8 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $11.6 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014. Excluding the $1.4 million in other income from the litigation settlement, net income would have been $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported net income of $42.8 million, or $0.61 per basic and diluted share, compared to $35.4 million, or $0.51 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Paul Perrault, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brookline Bancorp, Inc., stated: "We are pleased to report over 20 percent growth in earnings for 2014. Our continued loan growth, exceptional asset quality and solid momentum has us well positioned for success in 2015."

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets of $5.8 billion at December 31, 2014 increased $81.9 million from September 30, 2014, and increased $474.8 million from December 31, 2013. The growth in total assets was driven by growth in the loan portfolio. At December 31, 2014, total loans and leases were $4.8 billion, representing an increase of $86.6 million from September 30, 2014, and an increase of $460.1 million from December 31, 2013. During the fourth quarter of 2014, total loans and leases grew 7.3 percent on an annualized basis. Strong loan growth continued in our commercial real estate and commercial loan and lease portfolios, which increased $110.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2014, or 12.5 percent on an annualized basis. At December 31, 2014, the commercial real estate and commercial loan and lease portfolios totaled $3.6 billion, or 75.4 percent of total loans and leases, as compared to $3.5 billion, or 74.4 percent at September 30, 2014, and $3.2 billion, or 72.6 percent at December 31, 2013.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities decreased $2.2 million to $614.0 million, or 10.6 percent of total assets at December 31, 2014, as compared to $616.2 million, or 10.8 percent of total assets at September 30, 2014, and increased $28.6 million from $585.4 million, or 11.0 percent of total assets at December 31, 2013.

Total deposits of $4.0 billion at December 31, 2014 increased $68.9 million from September 30, 2014, and increased $123.1 million from December 31, 2013. Core deposits, which consist of demand checking, NOW, savings, and money market accounts, increased at a 4.0 percent annualized rate in the fourth quarter of 2014. The core deposit ratio decreased slightly to 76.1 percent at December 31, 2014 from 76.7 percent at September 30, 2014, but increased from 75.6 percent at December 31, 2013.

Total borrowings at December 31, 2014 were $1.1 billion, a decrease of $6.5 million as compared to September 30, 2014, and an increase of $313.8 million as compared to December 31, 2013.

The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 11.05 percent at December 31, 2014, as compared to 11.06 percent at September 30, 2014 and 11.53 percent at December 31, 2013. The ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets was 8.66 percent at December 31, 2014, as compared to 8.63 percent at September 30, 2014 and 8.88 percent at December 31, 2013.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $0.3 million to $47.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2014 from the linked quarter. The increase of $0.9 million in interest income from loans and leases was driven by an increase of $1.1 million due to volume offset by a decrease of $0.2 million due to lower interest rates. In addition, interest income from investments increased $0.3 million, primarily driven by higher average balances and yields. The increase in interest income from loans and leases and investments was offset by a $0.9 million increase in interest expense from borrowed funds, primarily due to a full quarter of interest expense on the subordinated notes issued in mid-September. The net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 3.50 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from the linked quarter.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Despite a slight increase in nonperforming loans and leases, provision for credit losses decreased $0.3 million to $1.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, from $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was due to favorable trends in the credit characteristics of the commercial real estate, construction and indirect automobile portfolios, offset by additional reserves required for loan growth in the originated portfolios and credit deterioration in the acquired portfolios during the quarter.

Net charge-offs increased slightly to $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2014. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis remained constant at 0.07 percent for the fourth and third quarters of 2014.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.11 percent of total loans and leases at December 31, 2014, compared to 1.12 percent at September 30, 2014.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 decreased $1.6 million to $4.1 million from the linked quarter. The decrease was largely driven by a litigation settlement of $1.4 million recorded during the third quarter.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company suspended the indirect automobile line of business and recognized $0.2 million in severance expense related to the origination staff and $0.1 million in occupancy costs associated with the remaining lease terms. Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 increased $0.5 million to $32.5 million from the linked quarter. Several factors contributed to the increase. Loan expenses increased $0.2 million due to timing and origination volume in the fourth quarter of 2014. Expenses associated with collections and other real estate owned properties also increased $0.2 million in the same period.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The return on average assets decreased during the fourth quarter of 2014 to 0.75 percent at December 31, 2014 from 0.82 percent for the third quarter of 2014. The return on average tangible assets decreased to 0.77 percent for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 0.84 percent for the third quarter of 2014.

The return on average stockholders' equity decreased during the fourth quarter of 2014 to 6.74 percent from 7.32 percent for the third quarter of 2014. The return on average tangible stockholders' equity decreased to 8.85 percent for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 9.66 percent for the third quarter of 2014.

ASSET QUALITY

Nonperforming loans and leases increased $1.0 million to $18.3 million at December 31, 2014 from September 30, 2014. In the same period, the ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases increased 1 basis point to 0.38 percent at December 31, 2014. Nonperforming assets decreased slightly to $19.7 million at December 31, 2014 from $19.8 million at September 30, 2014. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets also decreased slightly to 0.34 percent at December 31, 2014 from 0.35 at September 30, 2014.
