On February 13, 2015, the Company consolidated its three subsidiary banks into a single charter forming Bear State Bank. The Company has begun experiencing significant operational and organizational improvements as a result of the charter consolidation, the benefits of which are expected to be realized in the second quarter of 2015.

 

The Company reported core earnings of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared to a core loss of $96,000 in the first quarter of 2014. Non-core items during the first quarter of 2015 included merger, integration and rebranding expenses of approximately $960,000, related to the charter consolidation and a gain on sale of securities of $88,000. Collectively, the effect of all non-core items, net of taxes, decreased GAAP net income by approximately $538,000, or approximately $0.01 of diluted earnings per share.

 

Book value per common share was $5.19 at March 31, 2015, a 62% increase from $3.21 at March 31, 2014. Tangible book value per common share was $4.20 at March 31, 2015, a 31% increase from $3.21 at March 31, 2014.

 

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Total assets were $1.48 billion at March 31, 2015, a 160% increase compared to $569 million at March 31, 2014. Total deposits were $1.24 billion at March 31, 2015, a 153% increase compared to $489 million at March 31, 2014. The increase in both assets and deposits was primarily due to the merger with First National Security Company (“First National”) on June 13, 2014. Total loans were $1.04 billion at March 31, 2015, an increase of $643 million, or 162%, compared to the same period in 2014.

 

Total stockholders’ equity was $173 million at March 31, 2015, a 142% increase from $72 million at March 31, 2014. Tangible common stockholders’ equity was $140 million at March 31, 2015, a 94% increase from $72 million at March 31, 2014. Book value per common share was $5.19 at March 31, 2015, a 62% increase from $3.21 at March 31, 2014. Tangible book value per common share was $4.20 at March 31, 2015, a 31% increase from $3.21 at March 31, 2014. The Company’s ratio of total stockholders’ equity to total assets decreased to 11.72% at March 31, 2015, compared to 12.57% at March 31, 2014.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

First quarter 2015 core earnings totaled $2.8 million or $0.08 per diluted common share, compared to a loss of $96,000 or $0.00 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2014. The core return on average assets measured 0.76% and -0.07%; core return on average equity measured 6.58 % and -0.54%; and core return on average tangible equity measured 8.14% and -0.54%, each for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

The Company recognized first quarter 2015 GAAP net income of $2.3 million or $0.07 per diluted common share. GAAP net income includes what the Company considers “non-core items,” which are items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and which are not necessarily comparable from year to year. The reconciliation of GAAP net income and core income, together with related financial measures and ratios is included in the schedules accompanying this release. Non-core items decreased GAAP net income by $538,000 or $0.01 per diluted common share in the most recent quarter. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company reported a loss of $277,000 or -$0.01 per diluted common share on a GAAP basis. The GAAP net income resulted in a GAAP return on average assets of 0.61% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to -0.20% in the first quarter of 2014.

 

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2015 was $12.6 million compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2014. Interest income for the first quarter of 2015 was $14.1 million compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in interest income for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily related to increases in the average balances of loans receivable and investment securities as a result of the merger with First National. Interest expense for the first quarter of 2015 was $1.5 million compared to $891,000 for the same period in 2014. The increase in interest expense for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of deposit accounts as a result of the First National merger.

 

Net interest margin measured 3.85% for the first quarter of 2015, compared to 3.08% for the same period in 2014. The Company’s net interest margin increased primarily as a result of an increase in yields on loans receivable resulting from loans acquired in the First National merger. The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.54% for the first quarter 2015, compared to 0.78% for the same period in 2014.

Noninterest income is generated primarily through deposit account fee income, profit on sale of loans, and earnings on life insurance policies. Total noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased to $3.1 million from $1.2 million for the same period in 2014, a 158% increase. The increase was primarily due to an increase in deposit fee income and gain on sale of loans. The increase in deposit fee income was primarily due to an increase in deposit accounts resulting from the merger with First National. The increase in gain on sale of loans was due to an increase in the number of mortgage loans sold and the average profit on loans held for sale.

 

Total noninterest expense increased $6.9 million or 129% during the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014. The variance in total noninterest expense was primarily related to expenses related to the First National merger. The Company’s core efficiency ratio improved to 71.88% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 101.90% in the first quarter of 2014.

 

Nonperforming assets declined 18% to $14.6 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $18.0 million at March 31, 2014. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.32% of total loans at March 31, 2015, compared to 3.15% at March 31, 2014. The ratio of allowance for loan losses plus discount on acquired loans to total loans was 2.20% at March 31, 2015. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 138.60% at March 31, 2015, compared to 114.15% at March 31, 2014. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was 0.08% compared to 0.23% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Provision for loan losses increased from $0 for the first quarter of 2014 to $300,000 for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in provision is attributable to loan growth at Bear State’s three banks and a migration of the First National renewed loans from the purchased loan portfolio to the originated loan portfolio.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures provide supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. They are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP per share measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of core earnings which management believes is useful in evaluating operating trends, including components for core revenue and expense. These measures exclude amounts which the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations. The Company also adjusts certain equity related measures to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.
