Hawthorn Bancshares Reports First Quarter 2018 Financial
Results
Jefferson City, Mo. —
April 26, 2018 — Hawthorn Bancshares Inc.
(NASDAQ: HWBK), today reported consolidated financial results for
the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
Net
income for the current quarter was $2.1 million, or $0.36 per
diluted common share, compared to a loss of $2.4 million, or $0.41
per diluted common share, for the linked quarter ended December 31,
2017 and net income of $2.1 million, or $0.36 per diluted common
share for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Included in the prior
linked quarter net loss was a $4.1 million charge, or $0.70 per
diluted common share, that includes $3.1 million resulting from
application of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax
Act”) enacted in the fourth quarter of 2017, and $1.0 million
resulting from tax planning initiatives implemented at year-end
2017.
The
year-to-date annualized return on average common equity for the
current quarter was 9.32% and the annualized return on average
assets was 0.60% compared to 9.23% and 0.65%, respectively, for the
prior year quarter.
Commenting
on earnings performance, Chairman David T. Turner said,
“Hawthorn reported solid earnings for the current quarter
with earnings per diluted common share of $0.36 equal to the prior
year quarter. We continued to grow our loan portfolio by increasing
gross loans $15.9 million, or 1.5%, from the prior linked
quarter-end, $74.1 million, or 7.3%, from the prior year
quarter-end and they have increased $219 million, or 25.3%, since
year-end 2015. This growth was accomplished without a deterioration
in credit quality as nonperforming loans to total loans improved
from 1.19% at 12/31/15 to 0.93% at 3/31/18. Our current quarter net
interest margin of 3.29% has been squeezed during the recent rising
interest rate environment although net interest income increased
$0.3 million over the prior year quarter. Non-interest income of
$2.3 million for the current quarter was level with the prior
linked quarter and slightly below the prior year quarter.
Non-interest expense of $10.3 million was $0.3 million higher than
the prior linked quarter and $0.9 million higher than the prior
year quarter. The increase over the prior year quarter includes an
increase in salaries and benefits of $0.6 million mostly due to
bonuses of $1,000 for full-time staff and $500 for part-time staff
paid in the current quarter as a result of the benefits accruing
from the enactment of the Tax Act, as well as increases in various
other non-interest expenses.”
Net Interest Income
Net
interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $10.8
million compared to $10.9 million for the prior linked quarter and
$10.5 million for the prior year quarter. The increase in net
interest income from the prior year quarter was primarily due to an
increase in average loans of $80.9 million, or 8.2%. The net
interest margin declined 12 basis points from the prior linked
quarter and 19 basis points from the prior year quarter to 3.29%
for the current quarter. These decreases are primarily due to the
cost of average interest bearing liabilities increasing faster than
the yield on average earning assets. The majority of these
increased funding costs has occurred in our most stable funding
base of total deposits which have grown on average by $86.9
million, or 8.3%, from the prior year quarter.
Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest
income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $2.3 million
compared to $2.3 million for the prior linked quarter ended
December 31, 2017 and $2.4 million for the prior year quarter ended
March 31, 2017. The net decrease from the prior year quarter was
primarily due to a decrease of $0.2 million in combined real estate
loan income, primarily due to lower fair value of mortgage
servicing rights, offset by $0.1 million of securities gains
recognized in the current quarter.
Non-interest
expense was $10.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018,
compared to $10.0 million for the prior linked quarter and $9.4
million for the prior year quarter ended March 31, 2017. Salaries
and benefits increased $0.6 million, or 11.0% over the prior linked
quarter and $0.6 million, or 11.4% over the prior year quarter,
accounting for the majority of the increases in non-interest
expenses. The increases in salaries and benefits were primarily due
to the bonuses paid to all staff in recognition of the lower
corporate income taxes the Company will pay as a result of the
enactment of the Tax Act in the prior linked quarter.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The
Company’s level of non-performing loans at March 31, 2018 was
0.93% of total loans compared to 1.00% at December 31, 2017 and
0.93% at March 31, 2017. During the current quarter ended March 31,
2018, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $205,000, or 0.02% of
average loans, compared to net recoveries of $26,000 in the prior
year quarter ended March 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses at
March 31, 2018 was $10.9 million, or 1.01% of outstanding loans,
108.05% of non-performing loans and 198.32% of nonperforming loans
when excluding accruing TDR’s. At December 31, 2017, the
allowance for loan losses was $10.9 million, or 1.02% of
outstanding loans, 101.57% of non-performing loans and 180.87% of
nonperforming loans when excluding accruing TDR’s. The
allowance for loan losses represents management’s best
estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is
commensurate with risks in the loan portfolio as of March 31,
2018.
Financial Condition
Comparing
March 31, 2018 balances with December 31, 2017, total assets
increased $23.7 million to $1.5 billion. This asset growth was
primarily due to an increase in gross loans of $15.9 million, or
1.5%, and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $18.5
million, partially offset by a decrease in investment securities of
$12.1 million. Total deposits increased $54.6 million, or 4.9%, to
$1.2 billion while FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased
$37.1 million to $84.3 million at March 31, 2018.
Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2018 was $91.3 million, or
6.3% of total assets. The total risk based capital ratio of 12.87%
and the leverage ratio of 9.17% at March 31, 2018, respectively,
far exceed minimum regulatory requirements of 8.00% and 4.00%,
respectively.
