Richard D. Callicutt II, President and CEO, stated, "We are pleased to report another strong quarter in earnings, growth, and integration efforts. Core operating earnings per share were up 28% compared to the year ago quarter, and continue to benefit from greater operating efficiencies attained through acquisitions and strong organic growth. Originated loans increased by $146 million, or 6.9%, during the quarter, representing one of the best loan production quarters in our Company's history. While Charlotte and the Triangle continue to be our strongest markets, Charleston, with the recent addition of the Harbor National team, had a very productive first quarter.

We are pleased to report a very successful systems conversion for the Harbor National customers during the first quarter. All of the Harbor offices are now branded as BNC Bank, and through the leadership efforts of Charlie Rivers, we are confident that our seasoned team in the Charleston market will be a consistent source of strong loan and deposit growth for our Company.

In the fourth quarter, we announced the acquisition of Valley Financial in Roanoke, representing our largest acquisition to date and our initial entry into Virginia. I am pleased to report that both teams are working together extremely well, and the planning process is slightly ahead of schedule.

Our Company continues to look for opportunities that add meaningful value to our franchise in terms of earnings, markets, and growth. We are committed to successfully seizing on new opportunities and continue to add franchise and shareholder value each and every quarter."

Operating Results

Fully-taxable equivalent (“FTE”) net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $39.9 million, a slight increase from $39.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, despite the day count difference between the periods, which would have added $0.8 million of FTE net interest income for the first quarter of 2015. FTE net interest income for the first quarter of 2015 increased 22.1% from $32.7 million for the first quarter of 2014.

FTE net interest margin was 4.37% for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of 18 basis points from 4.55% for the fourth quarter of 2014, and a decrease of 24 basis points from 4.61% for the first quarter of 2014. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the yield earned on the Company’s portfolio loans, which was 5.08% for the first quarter of 2015, as compared to 5.28% and 5.49% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and first quarter of 2014, respectively. The decrease in yield on the portfolio loans from first quarter of 2014 was partially offset by an additional $1.4 million of loan accretion from the acquired loan portfolio.
  
Average interest-earning assets were $3.71 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, an increase of 7.9% from $3.44 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014, and an increase of 28.8% from $2.88 billion for the first quarter of 2014. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $3.15 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, an increase of 8.0% from $2.91 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014, and an increase of 23.4% from $2.55 billion for the first quarter of 2014. These increases were due to recent acquisitions and continued loan growth across the Company’s markets.

Non-interest income was $6.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of 19.1% from $7.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, and an increase of 22.9% from $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2014. Many of the non-interest income sources, such as income from recoveries on acquired loans, income derived from the sale of loans partially guaranteed by the SBA, income derived from our investment brokerage services, income derived from our CRA equity investments and income received from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation related to our acquired loan portfolio, are volatile and can vary significantly from period to period.

Non-interest expense was $32.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a slight decrease as compared to non-interest expense of $32.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, and an increase of 29.1% from $24.8 million for the first quarter of 2014. Excluding non-operating expenses, adjusted non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $29.2 million, a decrease from $29.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, and an increase of 21.6% from $24.0 million for the first quarter of 2014. Salaries and employee benefits expense were elevated during the fourth quarter of 2014 due to seasonally higher fringe benefit expenses, while the first quarter of 2015 includes the full impact of additional employees and facilities obtained from the acquisition of Harbor National Bank.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. BNC Bancorp's management uses these "non-GAAP" measures in their analysis of the Company's performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods as well as demonstrating the effects of significant gains and charges in the current period. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. See the attached tabular disclosures for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to the financial condition, results of operations and business of BNC Bancorp and the Bank. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of BNC Bancorp, and the information available to management at the time that this press release was prepared. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (i) the economic recovery may face challenges causing its momentum to falter or a further recession; (ii) expected cost savings and other benefits anticipated in connection with our acquisitions may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; (iii) our ability to integrate acquisitions and retain existing customers and attract new ones; and (iv) adverse changes in credit quality trends. Additional factors affecting BNC Bancorp and the Bank are discussed in BNC Bancorp's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and its Current Reports on Form 8-K.
