BayCom Corp Reports 2018 Second Quarter Earnings of $4.3 Million

 

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--(Business Wire)—BayCom Corp (the “Company”), (NASDAQ:BCML), the holding company for United Business Bank (the “Bank”), announced earnings of $4.3 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $1.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017, and earnings of $4.1 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in earnings during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter last year was primarily due to increases in net interest income and other non-interest income as a result of two acquisitions in 2017. The second quarter of 2017 net income also was reduced by $2.3 million for merger-related expenses related to our acquisition of First ULB Corp., which, net of tax benefit, reduced net income for the quarter by $0.23 per diluted share. The increase in earnings during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in net interest income resulting from an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding and an increase in other non-interest income, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses. The Company had net income of $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, or $0.99 per diluted common share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased as a result of a decrease in the effective tax rate compared to the same period in 2017 primarily due to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 31, 2017, which lowered the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%.

 

The Company completed its initial public offering on May 8, 2018 with the issuance of 3,278,900 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $22.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $66.8 million. The shares began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on Friday, May 4, 2018, under the ticker symbol “BCML.”

 

Second Quarter 2018 Performance Highlights:

 

·Total assets increased to $1.35 billion at June 30, 2018 compared to $1.16 billion at June 30, 2017 and $1.24 billion at March 31, 2018. The increase was the result of the Plaza Bank merger in 2017 and organic growth.

 

·Loans, net of allowance for loan losses and deferred fees, totaled $908.8 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $854.6 million at June 30, 2017 and $886.2 million at March 31, 2018.

 

·Deposits increased to $1.14 billion at June 30, 2018 compared to $1.03 billion at June 30, 2017 and $1.10 billion at March 31, 2018. Non-interest bearing deposits represented 30.4% of total deposits at June 30, 2018 compared to 30.2% at June 30, 2017 and 29.1% at March 31, 2018.

 

·Non-accrual loans represented 0.10% of total loans as of June 30, 2018, compared to 0.04% June 30, 2017 and 0.03% of total loans as of March 31, 2018.

 

·The Bank remains a “well-capitalized” institution for regulatory capital purposes at June 30, 2018.

 

George J. Guarini, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “We are very pleased to report our second quarter earnings, our first earnings results as a public company following our initial public offering and listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Earnings

 

Net interest income increased to $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $9.6 million in the same quarter a year ago and was $12.4 million in the preceding quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average interest earning assets largely related to our two bank acquisitions in 2017, partially offset by a decrease in the accretion of purchase accounting adjustments on acquired loans. Average interest earning assets increased $323.7 million or 35.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, largely due to our two bank acquisitions during 2017. Interest income on loans for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 included $644,000 and $633,000, respectively, in accretion of purchase accounting fair value adjustments on acquired loans including the recognition of revenue from purchase credit impaired loans in excess of discounts, compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The net discount on these purchased loans was $7.1 million, $9.3 million, and $7.7 million at June 30, 2018, June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

 

The Company’s net interest margin was 4.11% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 4.27% for the second quarter a year ago, and 4.28% the preceding quarter. The decrease in net interest margin during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter a year earlier is the result of a lower yield on loans and an increase in lower yielding cash and investments partially offset by a lower cost of funds. Net interest margin is enhanced by the amortization of acquisition accounting discounts on loans acquired in the acquisitions. Accretion of acquisition accounting discounts on loans and the recognition of revenue from purchase credit impaired loans in excess of discounts increased our net interest margin by 19 basis points, 26 basis points and 41 basis points during the second quarter of 2018, second quarter of 2017, and the first quarter of 2018, respectively. Our average yield on loans for the second quarter of 2018 was 5.40% compared to 5.54% for the same quarter last year. Our average cost of funds for the second quarter of 2018 was 0.57% down from 0.68% for the second quarter of 2017.

 

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2018 increased $454,000, or 27.9%, to $2.1 million from $1.6 million in the same quarter in 2017, and $357,000, or 20.7%, from $1.7 million in the previous quarter. The increase compared to the prior quarters primarily relates to the recognition of benefits received under two Bank owned life insurance policies.

 

Non-interest expense for the second quarter 2018 totaled $8.7 million, an increase of $268,000, or 3.2%, compared to $8.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, and $533,000, or 6.6%, compared to $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2018. The second quarter of 2018 included $600,000 write-down of acquired office facilities held-for-sale which is reflected in other miscellaneous non-interest expense. The second quarter of 2017 included $2.3 million of merger related expenses associated with our acquisition of First ULB Corp. Non-interest expenses in 2018 compared to prior periods increased primarily due to increased operating expenses resulting from our acquisitions and organic growth in 2017, including an increase in salary and benefits associated with the increased number of employees, an increase in occupancy expense associated with additional branch offices and an increase in data processing charges as a result of higher transaction volume.

 

Loans and Credit Quality

 

Gross loans increased $54.7 million, or 6.4%, to $913.4 million at June 30, 2018, from $858.7 million at June 30, 2017 and increased $22.6 million, or 2.5%, as compared to $890.8 million at March 31, 2018. The increase in loans from the comparable period in 2017 was primarily due to the Plaza Bank merger in the second half of 2017. Higher loan originations during the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2018 also contributed to the increase in gross loans. Loan originations in the second quarter of 2018 were spread throughout our markets with the majority focused in Solano, Contra Costa and San Mateo Counties, with commercial and residential real estate secured loans accounting for the majority of the originations during the quarter. Loan originations for quarter ended June 30, 2018 totaled $42.3 million compared to $28.7 million during the second quarter of 2017 and $29.2 million during the first quarter 2018.

 

Non-accrual loans totaled $932,000, or 0.10% of total loans, compared to $368,000, or 0.04% of total loans, at June 30, 2017 and $229,000, or 0.03% of total loans, at March 31, 2018. The increase in non-accrual loans from a year ago and the prior quarter primarily related to the migration of three loans to non-accrual status. At June 30, 2018, $456,000 of our non-accrual loans are guaranteed by government agencies. At June 30, 2018, accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $2.7 million compared to $654,000 at June 30, 2017 and $1.6 million at March 31, 2018. At June 30, 2018, accruing loans past due more than 90 days totaled $122,000 compared to none at both June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2018.

 

 

 

 

At June 30, 2018, our allowance for loan losses was $4.6 million, or 0.50% of total loans, compared to $4.1 million, or 0.47% of total loans, at June 30, 2017 and $4.6 million, or 0.52% of total loans, at March 31, 2018. The allowance for loan losses plus the discount recorded on acquired loans totaled $11.7 million, representing 1.28% of total loans at June 30, 2018 compared to $13.3 million or 1.54% of total loans at June 30, 2017 and $12.3 million or 1.36% of total loans at March 31, 2018. Included in the carrying value of loans are net discounts on acquired loans as they are carried at their estimated fair value on the date on which they were acquired. As of June 30, 2018, acquired loans net of their discounts totaled $371.1 million compared to $386.2 million at June 30, 2017 and $378.1 million at March 31, 2018. The provision for loan losses recorded in the second quarter of 2018 totaled $243,000 compared to $144,000 for the same quarter in 2017 and $254 ,000 for the first quarter of 2018.

 

Deposits and Borrowings

 

Deposits totaled of $1.14 billion at June 30, 2018 compared to $1.03 billion at June 30, 2017, and $1.10 billion at March 31, 2018. The increase in deposits from the same quarter a year ago was primarily attributable to the $54.2 million of deposits acquired in connection with our Plaza Bank acquisition in November 2017, and to a slightly lesser extent, organic growth. Non-interest bearing deposits totaled $346.2 million, or 30.4% of total deposits, at June 30, 2018 compared to $311.5 million, or 30.2% of total deposits, at June 30, 2017, and $320.1 million, or 29.1% of total deposits, at March 31, 2018.

 

At June 30, 2018, borrowings totaled $5.4 million compared to $11.4 million at both June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2018. During the second quarter 2018 we repaid $6.0 million in long-term secured borrowings out of the net proceeds from our initial public offering. The $5.4 million of borrowing, net carrying value, at June 30, 2018, is related to junior subordinated debentures assumed in connection with our acquisition of First ULB Corp. in April 2017.

 

Shareholders’ Equity

 

Total shareholders’ equity increased to $193.6 million at June 30, 2018 from $104.0 million at June 30, 2017, and $122.6 million at March 31, 2018. The increase in shareholders’ equity during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 also included, in addition to the common stock issued in our initial public offering of $66.0 million, net of expenses and underwriting commissions, the issuance of common stock totaling $12.0 million in connection with our acquisition of Plaza Bank during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

 

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States (“GAAP”), this earnings release contains the tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible common shareholders’ equity is calculated by excluding intangible assets from shareholders’ equity.  For this financial measure, the Company’s intangible assets are goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding. The Company believes that this measure is consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and presents this measure to facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison to its competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure of tangible book value per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for book value per share or total shareholders' equity determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies.

 

Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measure is presented below.
