1ST CONSTITUTION BANCORP
REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2016 RESULTS

        
Cranbury NJ - February 2, 2017 -- 1ST Constitution Bancorp (NASDAQ: FCCY), the holding company (the “Company”) for 1ST Constitution Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $2.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.25 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to net income of $1.6 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.20 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported net income of $9.3 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.14 compared to net income of $8.7 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.08 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

FOURTH QUARTER 2016 HIGHLIGHTS

Net income increased 26.2% and diluted earnings per share increased 25% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015.
Book value per share and tangible book value per share were $13.11 and $11.50, respectively, at December 31, 2016.
Net interest income was $9.1 million and the net interest margin was 3.83% on a tax equivalent basis.
Non-performing assets were $5.4 million, or 0.52% of assets, and included $166,000 of OREO at December 31, 2016.
The Bank did not record a provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to net recoveries on loans of $8,000, the low level of non-performing and criticized loans, lower historical loan loss factors that reflected the continued improvement in loan credit quality and the current economic and operating environment.
On December 15, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share that was paid on January 25, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 3, 2017.

FULL YEAR 2016 HIGHLIGHTS

Net income increased 7.2% to $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Diluted earnings per share increased 6.5% to $1.14 for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.93% and 9.21%, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2016.
A credit (negative) provision for loan losses of $300,000 and net recoveries of loans of $234,000 were recorded.
Loans held in portfolio increased $42.7 million, or 6.3%, to $724.8 million at December 31, 2016 due primarily to growth in commercial real estate loans.
Deposits increased $47.8 million, or 6.1%, to $834.5 million at December 31, 2016 due primarily to growth of non-interest bearing and interest bearing demand deposit accounts, money market accounts and savings accounts.



        

           
Robert F. Mangano, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated “The Company’s financial results in 2016 reflected strong operating fundamentals generated by quality loan and core deposit growth. We continued to invest in personnel and systems to support the future growth of the Company.” Mr. Mangano added, “We made further progress in reducing our non-performing assets to a historically low level, which also contributed to the Company’s improved financial performance.”
Discussion of Financial Results
Net income was $2.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $1.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in net income of $427,000, or 26.2%, resulted primarily from a $404,000 increase in net interest income, a $1.1 million increase in non-interest income and a decrease of $500,000 in the provision for loan losses, which were partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in non-interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the five percent common stock dividend paid on February 1, 2016.

Net interest income was $9.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 and increased $404,000 compared to net interest income of $8.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Interest income was $10.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and increased primarily due to the growth of the loan portfolio. Average interest-earning assets were $971.0 million with a yield of 4.39% for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $895.1 million with a yield of 4.49% for the fourth quarter of 2015. The lower yield on average interest-earning assets in the fourth quarter of 2016 reflected primarily the lower yield earned on loans and investments. The yield on loans and investments declined due to the continued low interest rate environment as new loans were originated and investment securities were purchased at yields lower than the average yield on loans and investments, respectively, in the prior year period.
Interest expense on average interest bearing liabilities was $1.4 million, with a cost of 0.73%, for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $1.2 million, with a cost of 0.67%, for the fourth quarter of 2015. The $190,000 increase in interest expense on interest bearing liabilities for the fourth quarter of 2016 reflected primarily higher short-term market interest rates in 2016 and increased competition for deposits compared to 2015.
The net interest margin declined to 3.83% in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 3.96% in the fourth quarter of 2015 due primarily to the lower yield on average interest-earning assets and the higher cost of average interest bearing liabilities.
The Company did not record a provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to a provision for loan losses of $500,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015. A provision for loan losses was not required for the fourth quarter of 2016 due to lower historical loan loss factors, which reflected the improvement in loan credit quality, the resolution of non-performing loans and the significant reduction of net charge-offs of commercial and commercial real estate loans in 2016 and 2015. Management believes that the current economic and operating conditions are generally positive, which also was considered in management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, net recoveries of loans were $234,000 compared to net charge-offs of loans of $465,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.
Non-interest income was $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of $1.1 million, compared to $920,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015. Other income increased $626,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. In 2015, other income included a $692,000 loss on the sale of OREO. Excluding this loss, other income in 2016 decreased $66,000 compared to 2015. Other income in 2015 also included a recovery of $117,000 in excess of the carrying amount of an acquired non-performing


        

loan. An increase of $499,000 in gains from the sales of loans also contributed to the increase in non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2016. In the fourth quarter of 2016, $3.7 million of SBA loans were sold and gains of $335,000 were recorded compared to $3.4 million of loans sold and gains of $317,000 recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015. SBA guaranteed commercial lending activity and loan sales vary from period to period. In the fourth quarter of 2016, $34.3 million of residential mortgages were sold and $925,000 of gains were recorded compared to $21.3 million of loans sold and $444,000 of gains recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in residential mortgage loans closed and sold was due primarily to the hiring of a new residential mortgage lending team in August 2016. Service charge income decreased $47,000 to $156,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016 from $203,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015 due primarily to lower fees for insufficient funds.
Non-interest expenses were $8.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of $1.3 million or 19.2%, compared to $6.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $964,000, or 23% in 2016, due primarily to an increase of $529,000 in commissions paid to residential loan officers, $272,000 of salaries for additional commercial loan, business development and residential mortgage personnel and increases in employee benefits expenses. Commission expense increased due to the higher volume of residential mortgages originated in the fourth quarter of 2016. Occupancy costs increased $77,000, or 7.9%, due primarily to the occupancy costs of four residential mortgage loan production offices added in the third quarter of 2016. Data processing expenses increased $78,000 primarily due to service credits received from the provider that reduced the expense for the fourth quarter of 2015. FDIC insurance expense declined $5,000, or 3.8%, due to a lower assessment rate that reflected the Bank’s improvement in asset quality and financial performance. OREO expense declined due to the significant reduction in OREO assets. Other operating expenses increased $278,000 due primarily to increases of $67,000 in telephone expense, $65,000 in legal expense and $65,000 in internal and external professional audit fees related to management’s required year-end 2016 attestation regarding internal controls (Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act).
Income tax expense was $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.9% compared to income tax expense of $747,000, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 31.5%, for the fourth quarter of 2015. Income tax expense increased primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate increased due to the lower percentage of the total amount of tax-exempt interest income and income on Bank-owned life insurance as compared to pre-tax income.
At December 31, 2016, the allowance for loan losses was $7.5 million compared to $7.6 million at December 31, 2015. As a percentage of total loans, the allowance was 1.03% at December 31, 2016 compared to 1.11% at year end 2015. The decline in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans reflected the lower level of non-performing loans and the lower historical loan loss factors at December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015.
Total assets increased to $1.04 billion at December 31, 2016 from $968.0 million at December 31, 2015 due primarily to a $42.7 million increase in total loans, an increase of $15.9 million in investments, and an increase of $8.8 million in loans held for sale, which assets were funded primarily by increases of $47.8 million in deposits and $14.2 million in borrowings. Total portfolio loans at December 31, 2016 were $724.8 million compared to $682.1 million at December 31, 2015. The increase in loans was due primarily to a $35.1 million increase in commercial real estate loans, a $4.0 million increase in residential mortgage loans and a $2.3 million increase in construction loans.

Total deposits at December 31, 2016 were $834.5 million compared to $786.8 million at December 31, 2015, primarily reflecting the growth in core deposits. Interest bearing demand deposits increased $25.6 million, non interest-bearing demand deposits increased $10.9 million, savings deposits increased $9.0 million, and time deposits increased $2.2 million.


        


Regulatory capital ratios for the Company and the Bank continue to reflect a strong capital position. Under current regulatory capital standards, the Company’s common equity Tier 1 to risk based assets (“CET1”), total risk-based capital, Tier I capital, and leverage ratios were 10.40%, 13.24%, 12.41% and 10.93%, respectively, at December 31, 2016. The Bank’s CET1, total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios were 12.13%, 12.96%, 12.13% and 10.68%, respectively, at December 31, 2016. The Company and the Bank are considered “well capitalized” under these capital standards.
Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans were $5.2 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2016, $139,000 of non-performing loans were resolved and $74,000 of loans were placed on non-accrual. Net recoveries of loans were $8,000 for the fourth quarter of 2016 and were $234,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses was 144% of non-accrual loans at December 31, 2016 compared to 126% of non-accrual loans at December 31, 2015.

Overall, we observed stable trends in loan quality with non-performing loans to total loans of 0.72% and non-performing assets to total assets of 0.52% at December 31, 2016.

OREO at December 31, 2016 decreased to $166,000 from $1.0 million at December 31, 2015 due to the sale in the second quarter of 2016 of one residential property that was previously held in OREO.
