Mark DeFazio, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with the accomplishments we have achieved as we approach the first anniversary of our IPO. Year-over-year, total assets increased 12% fueled by growth in our loan portfolio which was the result of our steadfast commitment to our relationship banking model. This growth in our balance sheet will yield a more consistent and sustainable net interest margin over time. Our balance sheet improvement translated into strong earnings for the quarter and for the first nine months of 2018. We more than doubled our net income – to $19.3 million for the first nine months of 2018 as compared to $9.0 million for the same period in 2017.”

 

Mr. DeFazio continued, “I am pleased with the successes of the past year but am keenly aware of the challenges and opportunities that face banks in 2019. A flat yield curve and competition for loans and deposits are challenges facing the industry but I am confident that our “branch-light” franchise and deposit funding strategy differentiate us from our peers. Our strategy combined with deposit platforms that cater to institutional clients with discretion over large sums of money provides the Bank with an efficient source of funding. As we prepare for 2019 and our second year as a public company, we are well-positioned for the opportunities that the future holds for our business.”

Net interest margin improved by 17 basis points to 3.76% for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2017. This improvement was mainly the result of a 25 basis point increase in average loan yields to 4.90% for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to 4.65% for the same period in 2017, and an increase of 76 basis points in the average yield on overnight deposits to 2.03% as compared to 1.27% for the same period in 2017. Net interest margin also benefited from the effect of an increase in average non-interest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total average deposits in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2017. Average non-interest-bearing deposits increased $168.0 million to $850.3 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $682.3 million in the third quarter of 2017 and accounted for 54% of average total deposits during the third quarter of 2018 as compared to 51% during the third quarter of 2017. Average interest-earning assets increased $390.4 million for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2017, due primarily to a $313.0 million increase in average loans and a $91.8 million increase in average overnight deposits.

 

Net interest margin increased 16 basis points to 3.70% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to 3.54% for the same period in 2017. This increase was primarily the result of an increase of 20 basis points in average loan yields to 4.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to 4.58% for the same period in 2017. Net interest margin also benefited from the effect of an increase in average non-interest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total average deposits at September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. Average non-interest-bearing deposits increased $360.3 million to $902.5 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $542.2 million for the same period in 2017 and accounted for 58% of average total deposits at September 30, 2018 as compared to 46.0% for the same period in 2017. Average interest-earning assets increased $507.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 due primarily to an increase of $357.8 million in average loans and a $154.6 million increase in average overnight deposits. Average overnight deposits included approximately $227.1 million of funds from the settlement accounts of digital currency customer relationships.

The provision for loan losses was $(453,000) for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2017. This decrease was due to a recovery of $1.5 million related to previously written-off loans. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $2.3 million as compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2017. This decrease was due primarily to the loan loss recovery.

Losses on call of securities   (37)   -    NM%
 Total non-interest income  $9,967   $5,012    99%

 

Non-interest income decreased by $200,000 to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to decreases of $143,000 in service charges on deposits and $284,000 in other charges and fees, offset by an increase in debit card income of $233,000. The decrease in service charges on deposits was primarily due to a decline of $130,000 in wire fees related to transactions by digital currency customers. The decrease in other service charges and fees was due to the receipt in 2017 of a $100,000 recovery of a charge-off related to a deposit customer.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, non-interest income increased by $5.0 million from the same period in 2017. This increase was primarily due to increases of $1.8 million in service charges on money market accounts, $1.1 million in prepaid debit card income and $2.1 million in other service charges and fees when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in service charges on money market accounts was due primarily to an increase in the number and balance of these deposits. The increase in the prepaid debit card income is a reflection of the growth in the debit card business and a termination fee of $500,000 received in 2018 for a discontinued relationship.

 

The increase in other service charges and fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to an increase of $2.0 million in foreign currency conversion fees related to our customers in the digital currency industry. Foreign currency conversion fees were at an elevated level during the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018, as customers, particularly those in the digital currency business, were transferring funds from their global corporate accounts back into their U.S. dollar accounts with the Bank.

Compensation and benefits increased $1.5 million to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2017.

Data processing fees increased $410,000 to $847,000 for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to costs to support our balance sheet growth.

Reconciliation of Quarterly GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures, Five Quarter Trend

 

In addition to the results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), this earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to investors in understanding the Company’s operating performance and trends. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations and are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP/adjusted financial measures disclosed in this earnings release to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying tables.
