For Immediate Release:

Bank of Commerce Holdings Announces Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2015


REDDING, California, January 22, 2016 / GLOBE NEWSWIRE— Randall S. Eslick, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Commerce Holdings (NASDAQ: BOCH) (the “Company”), a $1.0 billion asset bank holding company and parent company of Redding Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2015.

Pending Branch Acquisition

 

On October 28, 2015 the Company entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with Bank of America to purchase certain assets of five Bank of America branches located in northern California, including $421 thousand in loans and assume approximately $258.0 million in deposit liabilities. We recently received the requisite regulatory approvals and the transaction is anticipated to close late in the first quarter of 2016.

 

The branches being acquired are located in Colusa, Corning, Orland, Willows, and Yreka. Both banks are working closely together to ensure a smooth transition for customers and employees. We intend to use the new deposits to reposition and improve the bank’s current funding mix by replacing certain higher cost borrowings and deposits, and to support future loan growth. The fourth quarter earnings include $347 thousand of branch acquisition costs.

Additionally, during the fourth quarter the Company issued $20 million of new term debt and used the proceeds to redeem $20 million of preferred stock. The details are as follows:

 

Senior Debt

 

In December of 2015, the Company, entered into a senior debt loan agreement to borrow $10.0 million. The loan is payable in monthly installments of $83,333.33 principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest, commencing on January 1, 2016 and continuing to and including December 10, 2020. The loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without any prepayment premium or penalty. The principal amount of the loan bears interest at a variable rate, resetting monthly that is equal to the sum of the current three month LIBOR plus 400 basis points. The Company incurred senior debt issuance costs of $15 thousand which are being amortized over the life of the loan as additional interest expense.

 

Subordinated Debt

 

In December of 2015, the Company issued $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed to floating rate subordinated notes due 2025. The subordinated debt initially bear interest at 6.875% per annum for a five-year term, payable semi-annually. Thereafter, interest on the subordinated debt will be paid at a variable rate equal to three month LIBOR plus 526 basis points, payable quarterly until the maturity date. The notes qualify as Tier 2 capital under the applicable capital adequacy rules and regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve. The Company incurred subordinated debt issuance costs of $210 thousand which are being amortized over the initial five year term as additional interest expense.

 

SBLF Series B Preferred Stock

 

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company redeemed all $20.0 million of its outstanding preferred stock held by the U.S. Treasury Department under the Small Business Lending Fund program. Had the Preferred Stock remained outstanding beyond December 2015, the dividend rate would have increased from 1% to 5%, and in April 2016 to 9%. During the fourth quarter of 2015 the Company recognized $102 thousand of preferred stock extinguishment costs.

 

 

Randall S. Eslick, President and CEO commented: “The fourth quarter has been very eventful. We successfully redeemed all $20.0 million of SBLF preferred stock, we entered into an agreement with Bank of America to purchase five branch locations contiguous to our existing service area and our financial performance for the entire year exceeded expectations. I commend our employees for all that they have accomplished.”

(2) As of January 1, 2015, common equity tier 1 capital ratio is a new ratio requirement under the Basel III Capital Rules and represents the sum of the common equity tier 1 elements, minus regulatory adjustments and deductions divided by risk weighted assets.

(3) The Company and the Bank continue to meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The decline in the capital ratios of Bank of Commerce Holdings as of December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015 is due to the redemption of $20.0 million of preferred stock (Tier 1 capital) during the fourth quarter of 2015. The $10.0 million of subordinated debt issued during the fourth quarter of 2015 qualifies as Tier 2 capital under the applicable capital adequacy rules and regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve.

The Company recorded gross loan balances of $716.6 million at December 31, 2015, compared with $660.9 million and $718.5 million at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, respectively, an increase of $55.7 million and a decrease of $1.9 million, respectively. The increase in gross loans compared to the same period a year ago was driven by strong organic loan originations and the purchase of wholesale loan pools. During the year and quarter ended December 31, 2015, purchased loan balances increased $12.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Our deferred fees and costs increased during the current quarter compared to the same quarter in the prior year and the prior quarter in the current year as a result of increased loan production and implementation of an updated loan origination cost study.

 

The increase in the ALLL in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter resulted from net loan recoveries of $289 thousand. As a result of these net recoveries and continued improved asset quality, no provision for loan and lease losses was deemed necessary during the current quarter. See table 8 for additional detail of the ALLL.

As of December 31, 2015, we maintained noninterest-bearing cash positions at the Federal Reserve Bank and correspondent banks in the amount of $9.7 million. We also held interest-bearing deposits in the amount of $41.5 million.

 

Available-for-sale investment securities totaled $159.0 million at December 31, 2015, compared with $187.0 million and $157.3 million at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, respectively. Our available-for-sale investment portfolio provides us with a secondary source of liquidity to fund other higher yielding asset opportunities, such as loan originations and wholesale loan purchases. During the fourth quarter of 2015 we purchased 13 securities with a par value of $16.6 million and weighted average yield of 2.19% and sold seven securities with a par value of $9.1 million and weighted average yield of 2.58%. The sales activity resulted in $30 thousand in net realized gains for the three months ended December 31, 2015. During the same period, we received $5.1 million in proceeds from principal payments, calls and maturities within the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio. Average securities balances and weighted average tax equivalent yields for the quarters ending December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $189.2 million and 3.57% compared to $223.5 million and 3.41%, respectively.

 

During the current year, our securities transactions were focused on improving credit quality and continuing to shorten the effective duration of the portfolio in anticipation of rising interest rates. Management continues to actively seek out opportunities to reduce the overall effective duration of the portfolio and accelerate cash flows, while also improving credit quality and liquidity. This strategy could entail absorbing small losses and slightly reduced yields within the portfolio to meet longer term objectives.

 

At December 31, 2015, our unrealized gains on available-for-sale investment securities were $1.6 million compared with $2.6 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, respectively. The decrease in net unrealized gains compared to the prior year is primarily due to sales of available-for-sale investment securities and interest rate changes during the year.

Fourth Quarter of 2015 Compared With Fourth Quarter of 2014

 

Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased $96 thousand over the fourth quarter of 2014. In the current quarter, net interest income was $61 thousand higher, the provision for loan and lease losses was $675 thousand lower, and noninterest expense was $556 thousand lower. These positive changes were partially offset by noninterest income that was $504 thousand lower and an increase in income tax expense of $601 thousand.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income increased $61 thousand over a year previous. Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $203 thousand or 2% to $9.7 million, which reflects the increase in average earning assets and the reallocation of lower yielding assets into higher yielding loans. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $142 thousand or 11% to $1.4 million:

 

Interest expense on deposits decreased $30 thousand as the bank reduced its reliance on time deposits.

Interest expense on junior subordinated debentures decreased $30 thousand from $82 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2014 to $52 thousand in the fourth quarter 2015, reflecting the decrease in outstanding debt. During most of the fourth quarter of 2014, outstanding junior subordinated debentures totaled $15.5 million. Late in that quarter, $5.2 million was repaid. During the fourth quarter of 2015, junior subordinated debentures totaled $10.3 million.

(NASDAQ: BOCH)

 

 

Interest on term debt increased $202 thousand due to the net settlement expense associated with our active interest rate swap and the issuance of $20 million of new term debt. In 2011, to mitigate interest rate and market risks, we entered into four forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk associated with variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco borrowings. The hedges converted the LIBOR based floating rate of interest on the $75.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco borrowings to fixed interest rates. The fixed rates adjust each August and were/are 0.94% at August 2013, 1.84% at August 2014, 2.64% at August 2015 and 3.22% at August 2016. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recognized interest expense, and amortized issuance costs on the senior debt and subordinated debt of $44 thousand and $28 thousand, respectively.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased $504 thousand compared to the same period a year ago. During the fourth quarter of 2014 we recorded a $406 thousand gain on discounted repayment of $5.2 million of junior subordinated debentures. During the current quarter we recorded net gains on sale of available-for-sale investment securities of $30 thousand compared to net gains of $93 thousand for the same period a year ago.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased $556 thousand compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease is primarily due to severance costs associated with the retirement of a former executive recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014, the recording of increased deferred loan origination costs in the current quarter and, professional services fees in the current quarter that are $120 thousand lower than a year earlier. Partially offsetting these positive items are one time branch acquisition costs (Bank of America branches) of $347 thousand which were recognized during the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

Income Tax Provision

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income tax expense of $505 thousand compared with income tax benefit of $96 thousand for the same period a year ago. The tax benefit recorded a year ago was driven by a fourth quarter reduction in the Company’s 2014 estimated annual effective tax rate and a reversal of certain 2013 tax accruals.

 

 

Fourth Quarter of 2015 Compared With Third Quarter of 2015

 

Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2015 decreased $746 thousand over the third quarter of 2015. In the current quarter, net interest income decreased by $104 thousand, noninterest income decreased by $168 thousand and noninterest expense increased by $1.0 million. These net changes were partially offset by an income tax provision that was lower by $659 thousand.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income decreased $104 thousand over the prior quarter. Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was unchanged compared to the prior quarter as decreased interest and fees on loans were offset by increased interest on securities. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $104 thousand or 8% to $1.4 million compared to the prior quarter. This increase was primarily due to $72 thousand of interest expense on $20.0 million of new term debt.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased $168 thousand compared to the prior quarter. Net gains recognized on the sale of available-for-sale investment securities during the current quarter decreased by $107 thousand to $30 thousand compared to a $137 thousand net gain in the prior quarter. During the current quarter the Bank recognized $23 thousand in loss on sale of other real estate owned compared to a gain of $31 thousand in the prior quarter.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $1.0 million compared to the prior quarter. During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, salaries and related benefits increased $402 thousand, branch acquisition costs of $347 thousand were recognized and professional services fees increased $124 thousand.

Income Tax Provision

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income tax expense of $505 thousand compared with provision for income tax expense of $1.2 million for the prior quarter. The decrease in the current quarter is due to decreased taxable income, retroactive reclassification of certain loan interest income to tax exempt and an increase in hiring tax credits.

 

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Diluted earnings per share were $0.13 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared with $0.12 for the same period a year ago, and $0.18 for the prior period. Earnings per share increased for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period a year ago primarily as a result of increased net income. Earnings per share decreased when compared to the prior quarter primarily as a result of decreased net income. During the fourth quarter of 2015 the Company recognized $102 thousand of preferred stock extinguishment costs which also reduced earnings per share.

The net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets) on a fully tax-equivalent basis was 3.65% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of seven basis points as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease in net interest margin resulted from a three basis point decrease in tax-equivalent yield on average earning assets and a four basis point increase in interest expense to fund average earning assets. The tax equivalent net interest margin decreased 10 basis points as compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in net interest margin resulted from a six basis point decrease in tax-equivalent yield on average earning assets and a four basis point increase in interest expense to fund average earning assets. Maintaining our net interest margin in a historically low interest rate environment and while confronted with known increased borrowing costs will be challenging in the foreseeable future. During the first quarter of 2016, we expect to experience a significant increase in deposits through our branch acquisition. Maintaining our net interest margin will be dependent on our ability to invest the cash provided by these deposits into higher yielding assets while not subjecting the Bank to undue interest rate risk.

We continue to monitor credit quality, and adjust the ALLL to ensure that the ALLL is maintained at a level that is adequate to cover estimated credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio. We made no provision for loan and lease losses during the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to a provision of $3.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. Our ALLL as a percentage of gross loans was 1.56% as of December 31, 2015 compared to 1.64% as of December 31, 2014 and 1.52% as of September 30, 2015. Based on the Bank’s ALLL methodology, which uses criteria such as risk weighting and historical loss rates, and given the ongoing improvements in asset quality, management believes the Company’s ALLL is adequate at December 31, 2015. There is, however, no assurance that future loan and lease losses will not exceed the levels provided for in the ALLL and could possibly result in future charges to the provision for loan and lease losses.

 

At December 31, 2015, the recorded investment in loans classified as impaired totaled $21.4 million, with a corresponding valuation allowance of $832 thousand compared to impaired loans of $31.4 million with a corresponding valuation allowance of $1.6 million at December 31, 2014 and impaired loans of $22.9 million, with a corresponding valuation allowance of $789 thousand at September 30, 2015. The valuation allowance on impaired loans represents the impairment reserves on performing restructured loans, other accruing loans, and nonaccrual loans.

Loans are reported as a troubled debt restructuring when we grant a concession(s) to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider. Examples of such concessions include a reduction in the loan rate, forgiveness of principal or accrued interest, extending the maturity date(s) significantly, or providing a lower interest rate than would be normally available for a transaction of similar risk. As a result of these concessions, restructured loans are impaired as we will not collect all amounts due, either principal or interest, in accordance with the terms of the original loan agreement. Impairment reserves on non-collateral dependent restructured loans are measured by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows of the restructured loans, discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan agreement. These impairment reserves are recognized as a specific component to be provided for in the ALLL.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, we restructured one loan to grant payment deferral modifications. The loan was classified as troubled debt restructurings and placed on nonaccrual status. As of December 31, 2015, we had 120 restructured loans that qualified as troubled debt restructurings, of which 107 were performing according to their restructured terms.
