Shore Bancshares Reports First Quarter 2015 Financial Results

EASTON, Md., April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Shore Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ - SHBI) reported net income of $1.409 million or $0.11 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2015, compared to net income of $1.226 million or $0.10 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2014, and net income of $1.258 million or $0.15 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2014.

When comparing the first quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2014, the primary reason for the improved results was a $614 thousand increase in noninterest income partially offset by a decrease in net interest income of $97 thousand and an increase in noninterest expense of $194 thousand. When comparing the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2014, the primary reasons for the improved results were increases in net interest income of $216 thousand and a decrease in provision for credit losses of $325 thousand. While noninterest income and noninterest expense decreased $703 thousand and $411 thousand during the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, the decreases were almost solely due to the sale of Tri-State General Insurance Agency, LTD ("Tri-State") in the second quarter of 2014 and the corresponding lack of insurance commissions and commission expense related to Tri-State in the 2015 period. Excluding the commission expense for the 2014 period, noninterest expense was relatively flat between the two periods, reflecting the Company's efforts to contain operating expenses and increase efficiency.

"We are pleased to report our continuing improved earnings over the linked quarter and the first quarter of 2014 and the addition of our new Dover Branch which opened on January 21, 2015," said Lloyd L. "Scott" Beatty, Jr., president and chief executive officer. "As we continue our focus on expanding our market share by enhancing our business relationships and offering an array of new products to our customers we expect a continued positive earnings trend throughout 2015.

Balance Sheet Review
Total assets were $1.094 billion at March 31, 2015, a $6.3 million, or less than 1%, decrease when compared to $1.100 billion at the end of 2014. The decrease in total assets included a decline in interest-bearing deposits with other banks of $20.1 million which was offset by the increase in gross loans of $10.9 million, or a 6% annualized growth for the period, and the increase in investment securities available for sale of $4 million. This transition of assets allowed the Company to increase its net interest margin to 3.43% for the quarter from 3.36% for the fourth quarter of 2014.

Total deposits decreased $8.2 million, or 1%, when compared to December 31, 2014. The decrease in total deposits was mainly due to declines in time deposits of $11.3 million and $4.7 million in money market and savings deposits, which were offset by an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $7.7 million. Total stockholders' equity increased $2.3 million, or 1.6%, when compared to the end of 2014. At March 31, 2015, the ratio of total equity to total assets was 13.05% and the ratio of total tangible equity to total tangible assets was 11.98%.

Total assets at March 31, 2015 increased $44.6 million, or 4.3%, when compared to total assets at March 31, 2014. The increase in total assets was primarily due to leveraging the proceeds from the capital raise in the second quarter of 2014 to increase securities by $87.9 million and net loans by $20.2 million. These increases were offset by the decline in interest-bearing deposits with other banks of $61.4 million.

Review of Quarterly Financial Results
Net interest income was $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2015, compared to $8.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and $8.3 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in net interest income when compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 was primarily due to the downward re-pricing of loans which occurred in the first quarter of 2015. The lower yields were partially offset by an increase in volume on loans and investments and with lower volumes of and rates paid on time deposits. The Company's net interest margin improved by 8 basis points to 3.43% over the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase in net interest income when compared to the first quarter of 2014 was primarily due to higher volumes of investment securities as well as a lower cost of deposits, offset by lower rates paid on loans. The Company's net interest margin when compared to the first quarter of 2014 decreased 6 basis points to 3.43%, due to lower yields earned on loans, partially offset by lower volumes of and rates paid on time deposits.

The provision for credit losses was $650 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The comparable amounts were $650 thousand and $975 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Although the provision for credit losses remained flat between the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2014, the amount of charge-offs decreased $1 million between the comparative quarters with the amount of gross loans increasing $10.9 million. The lower level of provision for credit losses when comparing the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2014 was primarily due to decreases in loan charge-offs and nonaccrual loans. Net charge-offs were $547 thousand for the first quarter of 2015, and $1.6 million for both the fourth and first quarters of 2014. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans was 0.31% for the first quarter of 2015, 0.88% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 0.93% for the first quarter of 2014. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period-end loans at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was 1.08% and 1.43% at March 31, 2014.

Nonperforming assets excluding troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) were $16.4 million at March 31, 2015, $17.2 million at December 31, 2014 and $23.9 million at March 31, 2014. Nonperforming assets including accruing TDRs at March 31, 2015 were $33.1 million, compared to $33.9 million at December 31, 2014 and $49.3 million at March 31, 2014. The decreases in nonperforming assets and TDRs are the result of the continued work out efforts and charge-offs period over period. At March 31, 2015, the ratio of nonaccrual loans to total assets was 1.18%, compared to 1.22% and 1.83% at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. In addition, the ratio of accruing TDRs to total assets at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was 1.52%, improving from 2.41% at March 31, 2014.

Total noninterest income for the first quarter of 2015 increased $614 thousand when compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 and decreased $703 thousand when compared to the first quarter of 2014. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2014 was the result of higher insurance agency commissions, mainly from contingency payments which are typically received in the first quarter of each year and are based on the prior year's performance. The decrease from the first quarter of 2014 was due to the loss of wholesale commission fees of $1.2 million resulting from the sale of Tri-State which was partially offset by an increase in retail insurance commissions of $418 thousand. In addition, service charges on deposit accounts and trust and investment fee income increased by $114 thousand in the aggregate.

Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2015 increased $194 thousand when compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 and decreased $411 thousand when compared to the first quarter of 2014. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 was primarily due to higher costs associated with employee benefits of $200 thousand, which included higher insurance premiums for group insurance and federal unemployment insurance which is usually paid the first two quarters of the year. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2014 was primarily the result of the sale of Tri-State which reduced insurance agency commission expense and general operating expenses by $1.1 million, offset by an increase in other noninterest expenses of $276 thousand which was primarily the result of increased professional fees and marketing expenses.
