Pre-tax expenses of $869,000 for year ended December 31, 2014, $51,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, and $184,000 for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2013 related to the Company's mutual to stock conversion.

2014 HIGHLIGHTS
Successfully completed the mutual to stock conversion in July. The Company sold 27,772,500 shares of common stock, representing the adjusted maximum of the offering range, at $10.00 per share, for gross offering proceeds of $277,725,000, including the sale of 2,277,345 shares to the employee stock ownership plan. Additionally, 694,313 shares of Company common stock and $57,000 in cash were contributed to the Blue Hills Bank Foundation in connection with the conversion and offering.
Acquired Nantucket Bank in January and successfully completed the integration. Despite the normal seasonal decline experienced in the fourth quarter, Nantucket deposits were up slightly at the end of 2014 from $275 million on the acquisition date.
Loans grew 48% to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2014 from the end of 2013 as the Company continued to execute on its balance sheet diversification strategy through an expansion of the residential mortgage, commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios.
Continued to expand the geographic reach of the commercial lending business by hiring a new lending team to cover the South Shore and South Coast areas of Massachusetts (new loan production office was opened in Plymouth, Massachusetts in January 2015).
Over the past few years the company has expanded its residential mortgage capabilities and in 2014 originations totaled $235 million, representing increases of 34% from 2013.

Maintained strong asset quality with net chargeoffs for the year equal to 0.01% of average loans. The reserve/loans ratio was 1.13% and the reserve/non-performing assets ratio was 274 % at December 31, 2014.
Reduced the overall cost of funds to 0.59% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 0.82% for the year ended December 31, 2013. This helped net interest margin improve to 2.78% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 2.21% in the prior year.
In July, redeemed the $18.7 million of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury under the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) preferred stock program.
Continued the expansion of the Company's brand by obtaining the naming rights to the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion concert venue in the Seaport District of Boston.
Opened a new branch office in Milton, Massachusetts in October. Deposits at the branch rose to $15 million at December 31, 2014.
During the course of 2014, donations in excess of $1 million were made to various non-profits reflecting the Company's active involvement in the communities it serves. The bulk of the donations were made through the Blue Hills Bank foundations which support nonprofits in the fields of education and the arts, health and human services, affordable housing and community services.
The Company's stock was added to the Russell 2000 Index at the end of September and to the ABA NASDAQ Community Bank Index at the beginning of December.

Commenting on the Company's progress during 2014, William Parent, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blue Hills Bancorp, said, "In the years to come, we will all look back at 2014 as the most important and transformative year in the history of the Company. Our stock offering, which was completed in July and drew strong demand from depositors and employees, provides us with the capital needed to execute on our plan of becoming a diversified full service community bank."

Mr. Parent continued, "We enter 2015 with strong momentum in all of our business lines and are excited by the growth opportunities that lie ahead of us. As we embark on the next phase of our transformation, we remain committed to making the Blue Hills brand one that is synonymous with excellence in community banking and an institution of which our customers, employees, shareholders, communities, and all major stakeholders can be proud."

BALANCE SHEET
Total assets at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014 were $1.7 billion. Loans increased $20 million, or 2%, driven by higher levels of commercial real estate and commercial business loans. Originations continued to be strong in the fourth quarter and this drove the growth from the end of September. The growth rate, however, was lower than seen in prior quarters as the loan portfolio is gradually becoming more seasoned, which resulted in a higher level of loan paydowns in the fourth quarter than had been seen previously. In addition, $15 million of mortgage loans are included in loans held for sale at the end of the year.

Compared to December 31, 2013, total assets increased $414 million, or 32%. Loans accounted for $372 million of the growth in total assets reflecting a combination of originations, purchases and participations as the Company continued to execute on its strategy to diversify its balance sheet, particularly through an expansion of the residential mortgage, commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios. The January 2014 Nantucket Bank acquisition added approximately $100 million of primarily commercial real estate and home equity loans. By category, nearly two-thirds of the growth in loans since the end of 2013 came from the residential mortgage and commercial real estate categories.

During the final three months of 2014, total deposits increased $60 million, or 5%, to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2014. This was helped by promotional programs conducted during the fourth quarter that attracted new deposits to the Company and also resulted in some movement in deposits into the money market category from regular savings. The opening of a new branch in Milton, Massachusetts in October also contributed to the increase in deposits at the end of 2014 while normal seasonality in Nantucket resulted in a fourth quarter decline in deposits of $25 million. The growth in deposits during the fourth quarter enabled the Company to reduce short-term borrowings by $35 million compared to September 30, 2014.

Compared with December 31, 2013, deposits increased $297 million, or 33%.  The increase was primarily due to deposits assumed in the Nantucket Bank acquisition, which totaled $275 million as of the acquisition date in January 2014 and have grown slightly since then. Approximately 10% of the deposits assumed in the Nantucket Bank acquisition were certificates of deposit and the remainder was demand, savings and money market deposits.  In addition, the growth in deposits from a year ago reflects a higher level of commercial deposits due to the Company’s increased emphasis on leveraging commercial lending

relationships, including those in Nantucket. The increase in deposits from the factors discussed above was partially offset by a decline in brokered CDs and the run-off of higher-yielding consumer deposits, which helped the Company lower the yield on interest bearing deposits to 0.56% in 2014 compared to 0.81% in 2013. 

Stockholders’ equity was $412 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $410 million at September 30, 2014 and $172 million at December 31, 2013. The increase from the end of 2013 reflects the Company's mutual to stock conversion that was completed in July 2014. Proceeds from the stock offering were used to fund asset growth and to pay down debt and, as a result, short-term borrowings declined to $40 million at December 31, 2014 from $170 million at December 31, 2013. As part of the conversion, the Company also (1) redeemed $18.7 million of preferred stock that had been issued to the U. S. Treasury as part of the Small Business Lending Fund Program and (2) established an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") which acquired 8% of the shares issued in the conversion. The $22.0 million related to the ESOP is shown as a reduction to stockholders' equity on the balance sheet. The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio increased to 23.22% at December 31, 2014 from 11.63% at December 31, 2013 as a result of the additional capital received from the mutual to stock conversion.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest and dividend income was $12.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, up 10% from $11.4 million in the third quarter of 2014. Net interest margin improved to 3.07% in the fourth quarter of 2014 from 2.81% in the third quarter of 2014. The improvement in net interest income and margin from the third quarter was mainly driven by an $833,000 increase in dividend income reflecting a higher level of dividends received on mutual fund investments, partially offset by a higher cost of funds reflecting the impact of promotional deposit programs. The growth in net interest income from the third quarter was also helped by a $63 million, or 6%, increase in average loans. Net interest income and margin in both quarters were impacted by purchase accounting accretion related to the January 2014 Nantucket Bank acquisition. Accretion in the fourth quarter contributed $186,000 to net interest income compared to $179,000 in the third quarter and added between 4 and 5 basis points to net interest margin in each quarter. The $3.6 million remaining balance of accretable yield at December 31, 2014 is expected to be recorded to net interest income in future quarters. Loan yield was little changed from the third quarter, down 2 basis points to 3.53% in the fourth quarter.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, net interest and dividend income increased $4.5 million, or 55%, while net interest margin improved 40 basis points. The improvement in both net interest income and margin reflects:
A $771,000 increase in dividend income due to a higher level of dividends received on mutual fund investments.
A significant increase in noninterest bearing funds as average equity increased $238 million due to the Company's mutual to stock conversion and average noninterest bearing deposits which more than tripled to $122 million.
A 4 basis point decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities to 0.65% in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Purchase accounting accretion related to the January 2014 Nantucket Bank acquisition which contributed $186,000 to net interest income and between 4 and 5 basis points to net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Net interest income was also helped by a $428 million, or 59%, increase in average loans driven by higher levels of loans in all categories, with the biggest growth seen in the residential mortgages and commercial real estate portfolios.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income, excluding a $182,000 bank-owned life insurance death benefit recognized in the fourth quarter of 2014 and a $1.3 million pension curtailment gain recognized in the third quarter of 2014, was $2.1 million in each of the final two quarters of 2014. By category, higher levels of securities gains (net of impairment losses) and other income were mostly offset by a decline in loan level derivative income from fewer conversions of commercial loans from floating to fixed rate, lower interchange and ATM fees, and a lower gain from bulk sales of jumbo residential mortgages.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, noninterest income, excluding a $182,000 bank-owned life insurance death benefit recognized in the fourth quarter of 2014, increased $1.4 million, or 178%. The fourth quarter of 2014 included securities gains (net of impairment losses) of $434,000 versus losses of $633,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013. The fourth quarter of 2014 also included a $200,000 gain from the bulk sale of jumbo residential mortgages. In addition, deposit fees increased $178,000 or 109% and interchange and ATM fees grew $142,000, or 68%, primarily driven by the Nantucket Bank acquisition, debit card activity and changes to the fee structure. These improvements were partially offset by a $350,000 or 69% decline in loan level derivative income from fewer conversions of commercial loans from floating to fixed rate.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $10.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $17.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. The third quarter included a $7.0 million expense related to the Company's funding of a new charitable foundation that was set up when the mutual-to-stock conversion was completed on July 21, 2014, $51,000 of costs associated with the Company’s mutual-to-stock conversion and $2,000 of one-time costs associated with the Nantucket Bank acquisition. Excluding those three items, noninterest expense increased $47,000, or less than 1%, from the third quarter.

Noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $9.0 million and included a $1.7 million charge related to the restructuring of incentive and benefit plans, $350,000 of one-time costs related to the January 2014 Nantucket Bank acquisition, and $184,000 related to the Company's mutual to stock conversion. Excluding these items, noninterest expense increased $4.0 million, or 59%, when comparing the fourth quarter of 2014 to the fourth quarter of 2013. The noninterest expense comparison with the prior year quarter was heavily impacted by ongoing expenses related to Nantucket Bank, which was acquired in January 2014. This caused noninterest expense to increase $1.8 million taking into account 2014 operating expenses and core deposit intangible amortization. In addition, operating expenses were boosted in 2014 by higher costs associated with becoming a diversified community bank, including new hires, infrastructure spending to meet the needs associated with the current business plan, an increase in advertising, the opening of the Milton branch in October and the establishment of the Plymouth loan production office. In addition, the fourth quarter of 2014 included employee stock ownership plan expenses of approximately $500,000. On a full time equivalent basis, total employees were 202 at December 31, 2014 compared to 147 at December 31, 2013.

ASSET QUALITY
The provision for loan losses was $270,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The provisions in all quarters reflect management’s assessment of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio and the lower level of provision in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to prior periods is mainly due to (1) a decline in net loan growth and (2) the release of reserves related to a classified loan that was fully paid off.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.13% at both December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014 compared to 1.25% at December 31, 2013. The decline in the allowance coverage ratio from a year ago is due, in part, to placing the loans obtained in the Nantucket Bank acquisition on the balance sheet at estimated fair value. As a result, there was no associated allowance for loan losses established on the Nantucket Bank loans which resulted in an overall lower allowance coverage ratio for the Company.

The Company had net loan chargeoffs of $19,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $9,000 in the third quarter of 2014 and $22,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Nonperforming assets were $4.7 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $4.6 million at September 30, 2014 and $2.0 million at December 31, 2013. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.27% at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014 and 0.23% at December 31, 2013.

The Company’s management believes that the presentation of net income on a non-GAAP basis excluding nonrecurring items provides useful information for evaluating the Company’s operating results and any related trends that may be affecting the Company’s business. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
