National Commerce Corporation Announces First Quarter 2017 Earnings

 

BIRMINGHAM, AL (April 24, 2017) (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – National Commerce Corporation (Nasdaq: NCOM) (“NCC” or the “Company”), the parent company of National Bank of Commerce (“NBC”), today reported first quarter 2017 net income to common shareholders of $5.9 million, compared to $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2016. Diluted net earnings per share were $0.45 in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $0.44 in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $0.34 in the first quarter of 2016.

 

“We are pleased with our first quarter performance, which provides us with a good start to 2017,” said John H. Holcomb, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “We look forward to the remainder of the year.”

 

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company successfully completed its acquisition of Private Bancshares, Inc. through a merger of the companies, followed by the merger of their respective bank subsidiaries, Private Bank of Buckhead and NBC. In March 2017, the Company completed the system integration of Private Bank of Buckhead to NBC’s core operating system. “We are glad to have had a successful system conversion with Private Bank, and I want to personally thank all of our colleagues who worked so hard to make that conversion a success. We will continue our focus on asset quality, customer service and growing our profitability, and we look forward to the remainder of 2017,” said Richard Murray, IV, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

 

Several important measures from the first quarter of 2017 are as follows:

 

 

Net Interest Margin (taxable equivalent) of 4.18% for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 3.99% for the fourth quarter of 2016 and 4.21% for the first quarter of 2016. The first quarter 2017 margin increased 0.19% compared to the 2016 fourth quarter due primarily to a change in funding mix, with higher levels of noninterest-bearing deposits in the 2017 first quarter compared to the 2016 fourth quarter.

 

 

Return on Average Assets of 1.00% for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 0.86% for the first quarter of 2016.

 

 

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity of 11.45% for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 9.21% for the first quarter of 2016.

 

 

First quarter 2017 loan growth (excluding mortgage loans held-for-sale) of $329 million, including $261 million acquired in the Private Bancshares, Inc. transaction. Excluding factored receivables in the Company’s factoring subsidiary, Corporate Billing, LLC, and loans acquired in the Private Bancshares, Inc. transaction, first quarter 2017 loan growth was approximately $53 million.

 

 
 

 

 

 

First quarter 2017 deposit growth of $413 million. Excluding $286 million in deposits acquired in the Private Bancshares, Inc. transaction, deposits grew by $126 million.

 

 

$131 million in 2017 first quarter mortgage production, compared to $64 million for the first quarter of 2016. The first quarter 2017 production includes mortgages closed by the mortgage division that the Company acquired in the Private Bancshares, Inc. transaction.

 

 

$254 million in 2017 first quarter purchased volume in the factoring division, compared to $179 million for the first quarter of 2016.

 

 

A decrease in non-acquired non-performing assets to $2.5 million, from $2.7 million at December 31, 2016.

 

 

Annualized net recoveries of 0.07% of average loans for the first quarter of 2017, compared to net charge-offs of 0.13% for the first quarter of 2016.

 

 

Provision for loan losses of $156 thousand during the first quarter of 2017, compared to $441 thousand in the 2016 fourth quarter and $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease during the 2017 first quarter was attributable in part to net recoveries during the 2017 first quarter, general improvement in problem assets, and general economic factors.

 

 

Ending tangible book value per share of $16.48.

 

 

Ending book value per share of $24.51.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Some of the financial measures presented in this press release and included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements are not measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, allowance for loan losses to nonacquired loans, efficiency ratio and operating efficiency ratio. The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of the Company’s performance.

 

 

“Tangible common equity” is total shareholders’ equity less goodwill, other intangible assets and minority interest not included in intangible assets.

 

 

“Average tangible common equity” is defined as the average of tangible common equity for the applicable period.

 

 

“Return on average tangible common equity,” or ROATCE, is defined as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common equity.

 

 

“Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

 

The Company’s management believes these above measures, each of which utilizes the concept of tangible common equity rather than total common equity, provide useful information to management and investors because they eliminate the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets created in an acquisition. These measures are commonly used by investors when assessing financial institutions.

 

 

“Allowance for loan losses to nonacquired loans” is defined as the total allowance for loan losses, less the allowance for loan losses attributable to factored receivables, divided by nonacquired loans held for investment, excluding factored receivables at the end of the period. This measure is important to investors because it disaggregates the acquired and non-acquired loans and provides a measure that may be more comparable to a bank that has no acquired loans.   This measure also excludes the allowance and factored receivable balances at the Company’s subsidiary, Corporate Billing, LLC, which is helpful to investors because of the unique nature of that business and the rapid turnover of those receivables, and provides a measure that is more comparable to a bank that does not have a receivables factoring business.

 

 

“Efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue (which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income), excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities. This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

 

 

“Operating efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue, excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities and one-time gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition activities. This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

 

 
 

 

 

The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to NCC’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, NCC acknowledges that the non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, NCC cautions readers that these disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these disclosures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude various items detailed in the attached “Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”
