“We’re pleased to have achieved strong growth across our community banking family, while improving our net interest margins and operating efficiencies,” said Richard Beard, President and Chief Executive Officer of People’s Utah Bancorp. “While we continue to achieve solid loan growth, we’ve maintained a strong focus on credit quality as reflected in our low level of nonperforming assets and net charge-offs. As a result of our efforts to profitably grow our business, we continue to experience positive trends in our operating results.

Earnings Summary

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 of $6.5 million compared with $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 was primarily impacted by the following factors: (a) higher net interest income of $1.2 million due primarily to strong loan and deposit growth; (b) higher provision for loan losses of $0.7 million due primarily to $49 million growth in loans held for investment; (c) higher non-interest income of $0.2 million, (d) lower non-interest expense of $0.1 million, principally from lower salaries and benefits; and (e) higher income tax expense of $0.8 million due to lower deduction of non-qualifying stock awards in the second quarter. These factors contributed to diluted earnings per common share decreasing $0.01 per share to $0.35 per share in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $0.36 per share in the first quarter of 2017.

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 of $6.5 million compared with $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2016 was impacted primarily by the following factors: (a) higher net interest income of $1.8 million due primarily to strong loan and deposit growth; and (b) higher provision for loan losses of $0.7 million due primarily to loan growth.

Return on average assets for the second quarter of 2017 was 1.53% compared with 1.59% for the first quarter of 2017, and 1.43% for the second quarter of 2016. Return on average equity for the second quarter of 2017 was 10.91% compared with 11.39% for the first quarter of 2017, and 10.26% for the second quarter of 2016.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2017 increased $1.2 million compared with the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to a $29.6 million increase in average earning assets and a 15 basis points increase in yield on interest earning assets. Average loans increased by $41.7 million during the comparable periods. This contributed to a higher net interest margin of 4.71% in the current quarter compared with 4.55% in the first quarter of 2017.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2017 increased $1.8 million compared with the same period a year earlier, primarily due to a $133 million increase in the average earning assets and a 4 basis points increase in the yield on interest earning assets. Average loans increased by $80.8 million during the comparable periods. This resulted in a higher net interest margin of 4.71% in the current quarter compared to 4.67% in the second quarter of 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2017 was $0.7 million higher compared with the first quarter of 2017, and $0.7 million higher compared with the second quarter of 2016, due primarily to growth in loans held for investment. The Company incurred net charge-offs of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared with $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, and net recoveries of ($0.2) million in the second quarter of 2016.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2017 increased $0.2 million compared with the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to the sale of land held by the Bank, and was flat with the same period a year earlier. The Company has experienced lower mortgage banking income and residential mortgage loan volumes in the first and second quarters of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 decreased by $0.1 million compared with the first quarter of 2017, principally related to lower salaries and benefits, and was flat compared with the same period a year ago. Our personnel costs have increased in 2017 due to cost-of-living increases and new hires to support our growth, but are offset by a $0.5 million refund in medical benefits premiums recorded in the second quarter.

Our efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2017 improved to 52.2% compared with 56.8% in the first quarter of 2017 and 57.4% in the second quarter of 2016.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 was 35.6% compared with 29.6% for the first quarter of 2017 and 37.9% in the second quarter of 2016. Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2017 increased compared with the first quarter of 2017 due to tax benefits related to tax-deductible stock compensation expense and the reversal of a liability related to unrecognized tax credits, all totaling $0.6 million in taxable benefits for the first quarter of 2017. The tax rate in the second quarter of 2017 is lower than the same quarter in 2016 due primarily to adjustments in the expected recoverability of certain tax credits.

Loans and Credit Quality

Loans held for investment at June 30, 2017 increased $105.6 million, or 9.6% year-over-year, and $81.5 million, or 7.3% from December 31, 2016. Average loans grew $80.8 million to $1.2 billion from the second quarter of 2016 to the current quarter of 2017.

Non-performing loans increased to $7.6 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $5.7 million at March 31, 2017, $5.4 million at December 31, 2016, and $5.4 million at June 30, 2016. Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.47% at June 30, 2017, 0.35% at March 31, 2017, 0.34% at December 31, 2016, and 0.38% at June 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses to loans held for investment was 1.43% at June 30, 2017, 1.44% at March 31, 2017, 1.49% at December 31, 2016 and 1.47% at June 30, 2016.

Investment Securities

Investment securities at June 30, 2017 increased by 17.7% to $402.6 million compared with $342.1 million at the same period a year earlier as a result of the year-over-year growth in deposits.

Deposits and Liabilities

Total deposits at June 30, 2017 were $1.46 billion compared with $1.43 billion at December 31, 2016 and $1.35 billion at June 30, 2016. Increases during these periods were primarily due to growth of the client base and new customers. Non-interest-bearing deposits were 31.9% of total deposits as of June 30, 2017 compared with 31.1% as of December 31, 2016 and 31.9% as of June 30, 2016.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased to $239.9 million at June 30, 2017 compared with $228.5 million as of year-end 2016 and $220.4 million at June 30, 2016. The increase resulted primarily from net income during the intervening periods net of cash dividends paid to shareholders.
