PEAPACK-GLADSTONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

REPORTS ANOTHER STRONG QUARTER AND YEAR OF RECORD RESULTS

 

Bedminster, N.J. – February 1, 2016 – Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market:PGC) (the “Corporation” or the “Company”) recorded record net income of $19.97 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.29 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $14.89 million and $1.22, respectively, for the same twelve month period last year, reflecting increases of $5.08 million or 34 percent and $0.07 per share or 6 percent, respectively.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Corporation recorded net income of $4.34 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.28, compared to $4.21 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.32 for the same three month period last year.

During the fourth quarter of 2015 the Company recorded $2.5 million of charges related to the closure of two branch offices, as previously announced. These charges reduced pretax income by $2.5 million, net income by $1.6 million, and earnings per share by approximately $0.10 per share, for both the year and the quarter. Doug Kennedy, President and CEO, said, “We anticipate that we will retain the majority of deposits associated with these two branches and we expect expense saves that will recoup the $2.5 million charge in approximately three years.”

(A) The year ended December 31, 2015 included $2.5 million of charges related to the closure of two branch offices, as previously announced. These charges reduced pretax income by $2.5 million, net income by $1.6 million, earnings per share by $0.10 per share, ROAA by 0.05%, and ROAE by 0.60%, and increased the efficiency ratio by 2.09%.
(B) See Non-GAAP financial measures reconciliation table on page 26.

Mr. Kennedy said, “We had a very strong 2015, as we continued to successfully execute on our Growth Strategy – Expanding Our Reach.”

2015 highlights follow:

 

·Earnings for 2015 reflected improvement when compared to 2014’s results (as reflected just above). Year over year growth in diluted EPS was 6 percent, despite 2.776 million common shares issued in the December 2014 capital raise and incurring $2.5 million ($0.10 per share) of operating expense related to branch closures. Excluding the branch closure expenses, EPS would have increased 14 percent.
·At December 31, 2015, the market value of assets under administration (AUA) at the Private Wealth Management Division of Peapack-Gladstone Bank (“the Bank”) was $3.32 billion, including the acquisition of Wealth Management Consultants, which occurred in May 2015. Year over year growth in AUA totaled 11 percent for 2015.
·Fee income from the Private Wealth Management Division totaled $17.0 million for 2015, growing from $15.2 million for 2014. Year over year growth in wealth management fee income was 12 percent, despite a relatively flat stock market in 2015.

5

 
·Loans at December 31, 2015 totaled $3.0 billion. This reflected growth of $745 million, net of participations sold, when compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2014. Year over year net loan growth was 33 percent.
·Multifamily loan participations sold in 2015 totaled approximately $200 million.
·Commercial & Industrial (C&I) loans at December 31, 2015 totaled $513 million. This reflected growth of $204 million when compared to the $309 million at December 31, 2014. Year over year C&I loan growth was 66 percent.
·Total “customer” deposit balances (defined as deposits excluding brokered CDs and brokered “overnight” interest-bearing demand deposits) grew $663 million to $2.64 billion at December 31, 2015 from $1.98 billion at December 31, 2014. Year over year customer deposit growth totaled 33 percent.
·Asset quality metrics continued to be strong at December 31, 2015. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2015 were just $7.3 million or 0.22 percent of total assets. Total loans past due 30 through 89 days and still accruing were only $2.1 million at December 31, 2015.
·The Company’s net interest income for 2015 was $84.5 million. This reflected improvement when compared to $67.9 million for 2014. Year over year growth in net interest income was 24 percent.
·The Company continued to leverage the capital raised in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company believes it has sufficient common equity to support its continued growth and expansion for the immediate future.
·The book value per share at December 31, 2015 of $17.61 reflected improvement when compared to $16.36 at December 31, 2014. Year over year growth in book value per share totaled 8 percent.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “We are very pleased with our accomplishments in 2015, and we remain on track with our strategy. We do, however, see some headwinds in the near term, which is more fully described under “Wealth Management Business” and “Operating Expenses” later in this release. Despite these headwinds, we remain confident that our strategy will continue to deliver solid gains in shareholder value.”

Net Interest Income / Net Interest Margin

Net interest income and net interest margin was $22.82 million and 2.79 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $21.71 million and 2.75 percent for the third quarter of 2015, and compared to $18.35 million and 2.89 percent for the same quarter last year, reflecting growth in net interest income of $4.47 million or 24 percent when compared to the prior year period. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 benefitted from significant loan growth during the twelve months of 2015. Additionally, the 2015 quarter included approximately $321 thousand of prepayment premiums received on the prepayment of certain multifamily loans. This income benefitted the net interest margin for the quarter by 4 basis points.

While net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 improved considerably compared to the same quarter in 2014, the net interest margin declined to 2.79 percent for the 2015 quarter from 2.89 percent for the 2014 quarter. Net interest margin continued to be impacted by the effect of the low interest rate environment throughout 2015, as well as competitive pressures in attracting new loans and deposits.

Net interest margin is also affected by the maintenance of larger average interest earning deposit/cash balances. The Company has maintained greater liquidity on its balance sheet to support its expansive loan program. Mr. Kennedy said, “As I have said before, given our rapid growth, we had decided to maintain and will continue to maintain higher liquidity on our balance sheet than typically needed for operations.” Mr. Kennedy went on to note, “In addition to liquidity from cash equivalents and investment securities on our balance sheet, we also have close to $1 billion of net secured funding available from the Federal Home Loan Bank, of which we only have $124 million drawn as of December 31, 2015 .”

Wealth Management Business

In the December 2015 quarter, Peapack-Gladstone Bank’s wealth management business generated $4.31 million in fee income compared to $4.17 million for the September 2015 quarter, and $3.82 million for the December 2014 quarter.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, Peapack-Gladstone Bank’s wealth management business generated $17.04 million in fee income compared to $15.24 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, reflecting an increase of $1.80 million or 12 percent.

Growth in fee income was due to many factors including: the acquisition of Wealth Management Consultants, LLC (“WMC”) which closed in May 2015, which contributed approximately half of the year-over-year fee increase; continued healthy new business results; higher yields on new business as compared to lost/closed business; and the conversion of lower fee custody relationships to higher fee advisory relationships. These contributions to increased revenue were partially offset by the broader market declines in the second half of 2015, which negatively impacted investment fee revenue. The market value of the assets under administration (AUA) of the wealth management division was $3.32 billion at December 31, 2015, compared to$3.25 billion at September 30, 2015 and up $335 million or 11 percent from $2.99 billion at December 31, 2014.

Mr. Babcock, President of Private Wealth Management, said, “We continue to incorporate wealth into every conversation we have with all of the Company’s clients, across all business lines. We have expanded our wealth management team and will continue to grow our team and expand the products, services, and advice we deliver to our clients.” Mr. Babcock went on to note, “We believe the headwinds created by the recent and continuing correction in the financial markets will impact revenue in the near term. However, we continue to remain optimistic about the market in the medium-to-longer term and we believe this, coupled with our continued strong new business and new client acquisitions, will lead to improved results over time and will be a significant driver to enhancing shareholder value as our business continues to grow.”

Loan Originations / Loans

At December 31, 2015, loans totaled $3.00 billion compared to $2.86 billion three months ago at September 30, 2015 and compared to $2.25 billion one year ago at December 31, 2014, representing net increases of $140 million or 5 percent sequentially and $745 million or 33 percent, year over year.

Total loan originations were $1.35 billion for the year ended December 31, 2015, up $273 million or 25 percent when compared to $1.07 billion for the same twelve month period in 2014. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015 loan originations were $292 million, about flat to the September 2015 quarter, and down slightly from $302 million for the December 2014 quarter.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, residential mortgage originations totaled $26 million. In 2015 we successfully repositioned our residential mortgage business to serve as a lead product for new wealth business, as well as support for other relationships. We believe that volumes will increase going forward.

The December 2015 quarter included $108 million of multifamily loan originations, down from $150 million in the September 2015 quarter, and down significantly from the quarters prior to September 2015. The December 2015 quarter also included C&I loan originations of $75 million, in line with the average of the prior four quarters.

At December 31, 2015, the multifamily loan portfolio totaled $1.50 billion compared to $1.44 billion three months ago at September 30, 2015 and compared to $1.08 billion one year ago at December 31, 2014, representing net increases of $55 million or 4 percent sequentially and $419 million or 39 percent, year over year. The increases were net of participations sold, including approximately $70 million of participations sold in the current December 2015 quarter, and approximately $200 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. These participations were part of the Company’s balance sheet management strategy and will likely continue in 2016 and beyond.

The commercial mortgage loan portfolio grew by $14 million from September 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015, reflecting linked quarter growth of 3 percent, and grew by $105 million from December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015, reflecting year over year growth of 34 percent.

The net increases in both the multifamily and commercial mortgage portfolios were attributable to: the addition of seasoned banking professionals; continued attention to the client service aspect of the lending process; an expansion of New Jersey and Pennsylvania-based real estate marketing activities; and a focus on the Boroughs of New York City multifamily markets beginning in mid-2013. The increase was also due to demand from borrowers looking to refinance multifamily and other commercial mortgages held by other institutions.

Mr. Kennedy said, “As I explained over the last two quarters, we anticipated multifamily loan originations and growth would be less than past quarters, as we manage our balance sheet such that the C&I loan portfolio becomes a larger percentage of our overall loan portfolio. Our C&I pipeline remains robust and we believe we will continue to deliver strong growth.”

10

 

For the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company closed $289 million of commercial loans. When comparing December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2014, commercial loans grew $204 million or 66 percent, to $513 million at December 31, 2015 from $309 million one year ago at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2015 the commercial loan portfolio comprised 17 percent of the overall loan portfolio, up from 14 percent one year ago at December 31, 2014.

Mr. Kennedy said, “As a result of our investment in and commitment to C&I banking, including the addition in 2014 and 2015 of highly regarded bankers with industry and capital markets expertise, and the addition of Eric H. Waser, Head of Commercial Banking in February 2015, we have seen, and believe will continue to see, our C&I client base and corresponding loan portfolio grow and consume a larger percentage of our overall loan portfolio. However, due to the nature of this business, this growth will likely not be linear each quarter, but rather will be apparent over longer periods of time.”

Mr. Kennedy went on to say, “Our private banking business model of addressing the sophisticated needs and expectations of successful business owners and entrepreneurs is being well received. The ability to engage in high level strategic debt, capital and valuation analysis coupled with succession, estate and wealth planning strategies, enables us to provide a unique boutique level of service to business owners and middle market clients.”

Deposits / Funding / Balance Sheet Management

Net asset growth of $96 million and decreased brokered (overnight) interest-bearing deposits of $43 million in the December 2015 quarter were principally funded by customer deposit growth of $91 million, increased overnight borrowings of $41 million, and increased capital of $9 million.

Although brokered interest-bearing demand (“overnight”) deposits decreased $43 million to $200 million at December 31, 2015, these deposits continue to be maintained as an additional source of liquidity. The interest rate paid on these deposits allows the Bank to fund at attractive rates and engage in interest rate swaps to hedge its asset-liability interest rate risk. The Company ensures ample available collateralized liquidity as a backup to these short term brokered deposits.

From a liquidity/funding perspective, such brokered deposits, at a direct cost of approximately 51 basis points (excluding costs of hedging), are generally a more cost effective alternative than borrowings which require pledged collateral when drawn, as secured wholesale borrowings do. From a balance sheet management perspective, the rate paid on these short term brokered deposits enables their use in swap transactions for an efficient hedging/interest rate risk management program. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had transacted pay fixed, receive floating interest rate swaps totaling $180 million notional amount.

Certificates of deposit have also been utilized more extensively in 2015. The majority of these deposits have been longer term and have generally been transacted as part of the Company’s interest rate risk management. These certificates of deposit are also a more cost effective alternative than wholesale borrowings of similar duration.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “The Company will continue to place an intense focus on providing high touch client service and growing its core deposit base. Our full array of treasury management solutions will help support both core deposit growth and commercial lending opportunities.”

Other Noninterest Income

Service charges and fees for the December 2015 quarter were $849 thousand, compared to $832 thousand for the September 2015 quarter and $880 thousand for the December 2014 quarter. Several categories have reflected improvement, including income from debit card usage as well as account analysis fees, however, overdraft/NSF fees have declined considerably.

The December 2015 quarter included $117 thousand of income from the sale of newly originated residential mortgage loans (mortgage banking), compared to $102 thousand for the September 2015 quarter, and $128 thousand in the 2014 quarter.

There were no securities gains for the December 2015 quarter compared to $83 thousand for the September 2015 quarter, and $44 thousand for the December 2014 quarter. Sales of securities have been generally employed to benefit interest rate risk, prepayment risk, and/or liquidity risk. Given the duration of our investment portfolio and the interest rate environment, as well as the future outlook, we anticipate such sales will continue to be a very small component of the Company’s operations.

Other income of $198 thousand for the December 2015 quarter compared to $164 thousand for the September quarter, and $142 thousand for the December 2014 quarter. The improvement in the current quarter is principally due to improved loan servicing fees related to continued multifamily loan participations, as well as higher unused line of credit fees associated with the C&I lending business.

Operating Expenses

 

The Company’s total operating expenses were $19.99 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. During the quarter the Company recorded $2.5 million of charges related to the closure of two branch offices. Excluding these expenses total expenses for the December 2015 quarter would have been $17.50 million, compared to $16.90 million for the September 2015 quarter, and $15.58 million in the same 2014 quarter. The increased total operating expenses were generally in line with the Company’s Strategic Plan.

Salary and benefits expense for the December 2015 quarter were $10.66 million compared to $10.32 million for the September 2015 quarter, and $9.19 million for the same quarter last year. Strategic hiring that was in line with the Company’s Plan, the acquisition of WMC, normal salary increases and increased bonus/incentive accruals associated with the Company’s growth, all contributed to the increase from the December 2014 quarter to the December 2015 quarter. Premises and equipment expense totaled $3.39 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $2.79 million for the September 2015 quarter, and $2.63 million for the same quarter last year. The December 2015 quarter included $722 thousand related to the branch closures.

Other expenses for the December 2015 quarter were $5.12 million, compared to $3.38 million for the September quarter and $3.31 million for the December 2014 quarter. The December 2015 quarter included $1.73 million related to the branch closures.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “Expenses over the past year have continued to track to our Plan.” Mr. Kennedy went on to note, “Given our significant growth and high concentration in multifamily lending, Management has decided to accelerate approximately $2.0 million of infrastructure investment over the next 3 to 12 months to ensure we adhere to best in class risk management practices. We had originally planned for such expenditures over the next 24 to 30 months, but we feel it is prudent to pull them forward. Further we generally expect an approximate $950 thousand increase in our quarterly FDIC premium going forward (approximately $3.8 million for 2016). While we believe approximately $5.0 million of our increased costs in 2016 will be temporary, we cannot predict when the additional FDIC premium will be eliminated.”

14

 

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate (income taxes divided by pretax income) for the fourth quarter of 2015 was lower than prior quarterly periods. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2015 was 37.86 percent compared to 38.69 percent for the year ended December 31, 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2015, several new subsidiaries of the bank became active reducing the effective State tax rate.

Provision for Loan Losses / Asset Quality

For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s provision for loan losses was $1.95 million, compared to $1.25 million for the December 2014 quarter. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, for the fourth quarter of 2015 was only $468 thousand. The larger provision in 2015 was due to loan growth, as well as greater qualitative factor allocations of the allowance to C&I and Commercial Real Estate loans.

At December 31, 2015 the allowance for loan losses was $25.86 million, 383 percent of nonperforming loans and 0.86 percent of total loans, compared to $24.37 million, 320 percent of nonperforming loans, and 0.85 percent of total loans at September 30, 2015, and $19.48 million, 284 percent of nonperforming loans and 0.87 percent of total loans one year prior, at December 31, 2014.

The Company’s provision for loan losses and its allowance for loan losses continue to track consistently with the Company’s net loan growth and asset quality metrics.

15

 

Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2015 were just $7.3 million or 0.22 percent of total assets. Total loans past due 30 through 89 days and still accruing were only $2.1 million at December 31, 2015. There were no multifamily loans past due at year end.

Capital / Dividends

The Company’s capital position in the December 2015 quarter was benefitted by net income of $4.3 million and also by $5.5 million of voluntary share purchases in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, which continue to be a source of capital for the company.

At December 31, 2015, the Company’s GAAP capital as a percent of total assets was 8.19 percent. The Company’s regulatory leverage, common equity tier 1, tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios were 8.10 percent, 10.42 percent, 10.42 percent and 11.40 percent, respectively. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios are all above the respective 5 percent, 6.5 percent, 8 percent, and 10 percent levels required to be considered well capitalized under regulatory guidelines applicable to banks.

As previously announced on January 28, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on February 25, 2016 to shareholders of record on February 11, 2016.

(A) Total shareholders’ equity as a percentage of total assets at period end.  
(B) Tangible equity to tangible assets was $8.10 at December 31, 2015, $8.06 at September 30, 2015, $8.17 at June 30, 2015, $8.64 at March 31, 2015, and $8.95 at December 31, 2014.  Tangible equity and tangible assets are calculated by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively.  Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible equity by period end common shares outstanding less restricted shares not yet vested, as compared to book value per common share, which is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity by period end common shares outstanding less restricted shares not yet vested.  Tangible equity is calculated as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end. See Non-GAAP financial measures reconciliation included in these tables.
(C) Shares included in the book value per share calculation are shares outstanding at period end less the restricted shares that have not yet vested.
(D) Tangible book value per share was $17.40 at December 31, 2015, $17.12 at September 30, 2015, $16.80 at June 30, 2015, $16.57 at March 31, 2015, and $16.32 at December 31, 2014.  Tangible book value per share is different than book value per share because it excludes intangible assets.  See Non-GAAP financial measures reconciliation included in these tables.
(E) New capital ratio required under Basel III effective January 1, 2015. 
(F) September 30, 2015 risk based capital ratios are as amended on January 29, 2016.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION

 

Tangible book value per share and tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible equity by period end common shares outstanding less restricted shares not yet vested, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing shareholders’ equity by period end common shares outstanding less restricted shares not yet vested. We calculate tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end. We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk- based capital ratios.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to recurring revenue. We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses, excluding ORE provision, as determined under GAAP, by net interest income and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains/(losses) on loans held for sale at lower of cost or fair value and excluding net gains on securities from this calculation, which we refer to below as recurring revenue. We believe that this provides one reasonable measure of core expenses relative to core revenue.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios. Our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titles measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity, tangible book value per share and efficiency ratio to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
