The Company’s net interest income for the second quarter of 2018 was $136.8 million, an increase of $60.0 million, or 78.2%, from the same period of 2017. Included in interest income was the yield accretion recognized on loans acquired of $10.1 million and $4.8 million for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Yield accretion was $3.7 million higher than projected during the quarter due to accelerated cash flows of acquired loans. Based on its cash flow projections, the Company expects total accretion for 2018 of approximately $30 million.

 

Net interest margin was 3.99% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, an 18 basis point decrease from the first quarter. The Company’s core net interest margin, excluding the accretion, was 3.70% for the second quarter of 2018, a 12 basis point decrease from March 31, 2018. Cost of interest bearing deposits was 0.84% for the second quarter of 2018, a 48 basis point increase from June 30, 2017 and a 10 basis point increase from March 31, 2018.

 

 
 

 

The subordinated debt issuance at the end of the first quarter had a 5 basis point impact on the Company’s second quarter net interest margin. The timing of existing subordinated debt prepayment had an additional 5 basis point impact.

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income for the second quarter 2018 was $38.0 million, an increase of $2.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to additional trust income, service charge and fee income resulting from the acquisitions. This increase was partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in gain on sale of securities compared to the same quarter last year.

 

Non-Interest Expense

 

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2018 was $98.5 million, an increase of $27.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2017. Included in this quarter were $1.5 million of pre-tax merger-related expenses and branch rightsizing costs. Excluding these expenses, core non-interest expense was $97.0 million.

 

The increases during the quarter were driven by incremental increases in operating expenses related to the additions of Bank SNB and Southwest Bank during the fourth quarter of 2017. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter 2018 was 52.70%.

 

Income tax expense in the second quarter included a $2.0 million discrete tax benefit related to tax accounting for equity compensation.

 

Asset Quality

 

    2nd Qtr 2018    1st Qtr 2018    2nd Qtr 2017 
                
Allowance for loan losses to total loans   0.73%   0.75%   0.83%
Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans   115%   99%   72%
Non-performing loans to total loans   0.63%   0.76%   1.15%
Net charge-off ratio (annualized)   0.17%   0.24%   0.23%
Net charge-off ratio excluding credit cards   0.13%   0.20%   0.19%

 

All loans acquired are recorded at their discounted net present value; therefore, they are excluded from the computations of the asset quality ratios for the legacy loan portfolio, except for their inclusion in total assets.

 

At June 30, 2018, the allowance for loan losses for legacy loans was $51.7 million. The allowance for loan losses for loans acquired was $2.1 million and the acquired loan discount credit mark was $68.3 million. The allowances for loan losses and credit marks provide a total of $122.1 million of coverage, which equates to a total coverage ratio of 1.1% of gross loans. The ratio of credit mark and related allowance to loans acquired was 1.6%.

 

Provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2018 was $9.0 million which includes an increase due to strong legacy loan growth as well as increased loan migration during the quarter from the fourth quarter of 2017 acquisitions, which is consistent with the Company’s previous guidance.

 

Foreclosed Assets and Other Real Estate Owned

 

At June 30, 2018, foreclosed assets and other real estate owned were $30.5 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 17.3%, compared to the same period in 2017 and an increase of $1.4 million, or 4.7% from March 31, 2018. The composition of these assets is divided into three types:

 

    2nd Qtr 2018    1st Qtr 2018    2nd Qtr 2017 
                
Closed bank branches, branch sites & associate relocation   $7.2 million    $8.1 million    $8.7 million 
Foreclosed assets - acquired   $13.2 million    $14.9 million    $12.0 million 
Foreclosed assets - legacy   $10.1 million    $6.1 million    $5.3 million 

 

 
 

 

Capital

 

    2nd Qtr 2018    1st Qtr 2018    2nd Qtr 2017

Regulatory tier 1 leverage ratio   8.6%   8.6%   10.8%
Regulatory total risk-based capital ratio   13.7%   14.1%   13.7%

 

At June 30, 2018, common stockholders' equity was $2.1 billion, book value per share was $23.26 and tangible book value per share was $13.05. Asset growth due to the subordinated debt offering and the timing related to paying off approximately $104 million in parent company debt reduced Tangible Common Equity 6 basis points.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance. These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant non-core activities or nonrecurring transactions. Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s core businesses. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables of this release.
