Mercantile Bank Corporation Reports First Quarter 2015 Results

Improved core profitability and continued strength in loan originations

 

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 21, 2015 – Mercantile Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: MBWM) ("Mercantile") reported net income of $6.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015, compared with net income of $3.6 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the prior-year period. The current period included a smaller negative provision for loan loss expense ($0.02 per diluted share) compared to the negative provision expense ($0.14 per diluted share) in the year-ago quarter.

 

The first quarter was highlighted by:

 

 

Improved core profitability fueled by a higher level of net interest income

 

Net interest margin remains strong

 

New term loan originations of approximately $100 million

 

Commercial loan pipeline remains strong

 

Volume of loans 30- to 89-days past due remains low

 

Increase in cash dividend per common share of approximately 17 percent

 

Commencement of $20 million common stock share repurchase program

 

“We are very pleased with our first quarter results, which included core profitability consistent with our expectations. In addition, we saw the full realization of the approximately $1.4 million in quarterly cost savings originally projected as a result of our merger with Firstbank Corporation last June,” said Michael Price, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As evidenced by the net loan growth during the quarter, we continue to focus on developing new business relationships in our expanded market areas. Based on our current loan pipeline and a continuation of sales efforts, we remain optimistic that we can sustain solid loan growth during the remainder of 2015.”

 

“We also made further progress in the first quarter of 2015 toward improving our earning asset mix,” observed Samuel G. Stone, Executive Vice President. “This goal is a primary driver of profitability improvement resulting from the merger of Mercantile and Firstbank. Average balances of loans grew 1.6 percent from the fourth quarter while average balances of interest-bearing liabilities declined 0.8 percent. The net loan growth was primarily funded by reductions in the securities portfolio and other low-yielding interest-bearing assets. Average loans rose to approximately 80 percent of average earning assets in the first quarter of 2015 from about 79 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014. Through this process, we are making efficient use of the low cost funding base that came into the merged company with Firstbank.”

 

 
 

 

 

Operating Results

 

Total revenue, which consists of net interest income and noninterest income, was $28.5 million during the first quarter of 2015, up $16.0 million or 127 percent from the prior-year first quarter. Net interest income during the first quarter of 2015 was $24.8 million, up $13.8 million or 125 percent from the first quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting an increase in average earning assets of 100 percent.

 

The net interest margin was 3.83 percent in the first quarter of 2015, up from 3.42 percent in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in the net interest margin was mainly due to a decline in the cost of funds, in large part reflecting Firstbank’s lower-cost deposit base. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, the yield on total earning assets increased slightly despite continuing competitive pressure pushing down yields on loans. The improvement in the yield on total earning assets was accomplished by shifting earning assets out of low-yielding securities and overnight funds and into the higher-yielding loan portfolio.

 

Net interest income and the net interest margin during the first quarter of 2015 were affected by purchase accounting accretion and amortization entries associated with the fair value measurements recorded effective June 1, 2014.  An increase in interest income on loans totaling $1.4 million and decreases in interest expense on deposits and FHLB advances aggregating $0.6 million were recorded during the first quarter of 2015. In addition, an increase in interest expense on subordinated debentures totaling $0.2 million was recorded during the same time period. Mercantile expects to continue to record adjustments in interest income on loans and interest expense on subordinated debentures in future periods; however, the adjustments to interest expense on deposits and FHLB advances will no longer occur after July of 2015 in accordance with our fair value measurements at the time of the merger.  We anticipate that a resulting increase in interest expense will negatively affect our net interest margin by approximately nine basis points in future periods starting after July 31, 2015.  We expect that an ongoing reallocation of our earning asset mix will help offset this negative impact, as excess lower-yielding overnight funds and cash flows from lower-yielding investments are invested into higher-yielding loans.

 

Noninterest income during the first quarter of 2015 was $3.7 million, up $2.2 million or 145 percent from the prior-year first quarter. Substantially all categories of fee income were higher in the current-year first quarter compared to the respective 2014 period as a result of the merger. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, we recorded a similar level of mortgage banking income, while increased debit and credit card fees and income from payroll services mitigated decreased service charges on deposit accounts.

 

Mercantile recorded a negative $0.4 million provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 2015 compared to a negative $1.9 million provision during the respective 2014 period. The negative provisions are the result of several factors, including recoveries of previously charged-off loans, reversals of specific reserves and ongoing loan-rating upgrades as the quality of the loan portfolio continues to improve.

 

Noninterest expense totaled $19.2 million during the first quarter of 2015, up $10.0 million or 109 percent from the prior-year first quarter. The increase in noninterest expense was mainly attributable to higher costs necessary to operate the combined company. An increase in salary and benefit expenses was primarily due to the increase in employees associated with the completion of the merger with Firstbank. As of March 31, 2015, full-time equivalent employees numbered 642, compared to 653 as of December 31, 2014 and 244 as of March 31, 2014.

 

 
 

 

 

Mr. Price continued: “In addition to our overall results, we are very pleased with our ongoing progress. While the expected earnings benefits resulting from last year’s merger have come to fruition, we continue to look for additional opportunities to reduce costs and enhance fee revenue. We are confident that these strategic initiatives and related actions will produce a positive impact on profitability and shareholder returns during future periods.”

 

Balance Sheet

 

The March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 balance sheets reflect the June 2014 consummation of the merger with Firstbank. As of March 31, 2015, total assets were $2.88 billion, a decrease of $16.2 million from December 31, 2014; total loans increased $31.5 million to $2.12 billion over the same time period. Compared to March 31, 2014, total assets increased $1.46 billion, or 104 percent, and total loans increased $1.05 billion, or 99 percent.

 

Approximately $100 million in new commercial term loans to new and existing borrowers were originated during the first quarter of 2015, as ongoing sales and relationship building efforts have led to increased lending opportunities. As of March 31, 2015, unfunded commitments on commercial construction and development loans totaled approximately $142 million; these commitments are expected to be largely funded over the next 12 to 18 months.

 

Robert B. Kaminski, Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, noted: “New loan originations remained strong in the first quarter of 2015 as we continue to focus on developing new relationships in our expanded geographic footprint and meeting the credit needs of existing customers. Although competitive pressures in our markets remain, we are confident that our existing loan pipeline and continuing relationship-building efforts will position us to grow the loan portfolio during the remainder of 2015 while remaining committed to desired loan quality and profitable pricing.”

 

Commercial-related real estate loans continue to comprise a majority of Mercantile’s loan portfolio, representing 55 percent of total loans as of March 31, 2015. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans and owner-occupied CRE loans equaled 27 percent and 20 percent of total loans, respectively, as of March 31, 2015.  Commercial and industrial loans represented 28 percent of total loans as of March 31, 2015. 

 

As of March 31, 2015, total deposits were $2.28 billion, up $1.17 billion from March 31, 2014. Growth in local deposits was driven primarily by the merger, as well as new commercial loan relationships. Wholesale funds were $201 million, or approximately 8 percent of total funds, as of March 31, 2015.

 

Asset Quality

 

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) at March 31, 2015 were $27.9 million, or 1.0 percent of total assets, compared to $31.4 million, or 1.1 percent of total assets, as of December 31, 2014. Nonperforming assets at the end of the first quarter primarily consisted of nonperforming loans. One commercial loan relationship, which was placed on nonaccrual during the fourth quarter of 2014, accounted for approximately 76 percent of total NPAs at March 31, 2015. Substantial progress toward full resolution of this relationship was made during the first quarter, and we expect additional progress during the second quarter.

 

 
 

 

 

Net loan recoveries were $1.4 million during the first quarter of 2015 compared with net loan charge-offs of $0.3 million for the linked quarter and net loan recoveries of less than $0.1 million for the prior-year first quarter.

 

Capital Position

 

Shareholders’ equity totaled $333 million as of March 31, 2015, an increase of $4.7 million from year-end 2014. The Bank’s capital position remains above “well-capitalized” with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.1 percent as of March 31, 2015, compared to 14.4 percent at December 31, 2014. At March 31, 2015, the Bank had approximately $100 million in excess of the 10.0 percent minimum regulatory threshold required to be considered a “well-capitalized” institution. Mercantile reported 16,899,382 total shares outstanding at March 31, 2015. As part of a $20 million common stock repurchase program announced in January of 2015, Mercantile repurchased approximately 104,000 shares at a weighted average all-in cost per share of $19.09 during the first quarter of 2015.

 

Mr. Price concluded: “While our year-over-year comparisons continue to reflect the June 2014 merger with Firstbank, the momentum demonstrated during the first quarter of 2015 as reflected by our strong financial performance is in line with our expectations and encouraging for our outlook in future periods. In addition, we have excellent lending, fee generation and operating efficiency opportunities. Our ability to deliver a broad range of products and services together with our customer-centered focus remain the keys to identifying and fostering new customer relationships in our expanded market areas.”
