Delivers Record Earnings of $51.6 million for Fiscal Year 2018, Representing 15% Growth over the Prior Year

Brad Hanson Promoted to Chief Executive Officer

Sioux Falls, S.D., October 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Meta Financial Group, Inc.^® (Nasdaq: CASH) (“Meta” or the “Company”) net income for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 grew to $51.6 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, increasing from $44.9 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. The Company’s fiscal 2018 fourth quarter net income was $8.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the fiscal 2017 fourth quarter. All share and per share data reported in this release for all periods presented has been adjusted to reflect the 3-for-1 forward stock split announced on August 28, 2018 and effected by the Company on October 4, 2018.

The 2018 fourth quarter pre-tax results included a $7.0 million loss on the sale of securities due to the Company’s balance sheet restructuring related to the Crestmark acquisition, $3.2 million of merger and acquisition-related expenses, and $3.1 million of non-interest expense charges related to platform consolidation and operational synergies, mostly from previous acquisitions related to the tax services divisions. These operational synergies, appearing primarily in compensation expense and legal expense, are expected to save the Company approximately $3.0 million to $3.6 million per year beginning in fiscal 2019. During the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, the Company also recognized a $4.6 million tax benefit from amending a historical tax return of Crestmark Bancorp, Inc., which the Company acquired on August 1, 2018.

“Fiscal 2018 was marked by several transformative developments, including the successful close of the Crestmark acquisition and the integration of Crestmark’s operations in the fourth fiscal quarter,” said President and CEO Brad Hanson. “This immediately accretive transaction provides Meta with a national commercial and industrial lending platform and provides complementary cross-selling opportunities that our expanded, talented team is already hard at work executing on.”

“Fiscal 2018 also included a successful tax season, the renewal of multi-year agreements with two of our largest prepaid partners and new relationships in our national consumer lending business – all of which are expected to support our unique and diversified financial services platform and contribute to our continued success in delivering value to customers and shareholders,” added Hanson. “With record fiscal year earnings of $51.6 million, 122% year-over-year growth in total net loans and leases and net interest income which increased 40% from the prior year to $130.5 million, we are very pleased with the quality of our financial performance during a year of intense change.”

Financial Summary

Revenue

Total revenue for the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter was $73.2 million, compared to $54.3 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2017, an increase of $18.8 million, or 35%, primarily due to increases in loan and lease interest income and rental income, offset in part by an increase in interest expense and a decrease in card fee income.

Net Income

The Company recorded net income of $8.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the same quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in net income was due primarily to an increase of $24.0 million in net interest income and a net increase in income tax benefit of $6.6 million, partially offset by a $12.9 million increase in non-interest expense, a $5.2 million decrease in non-interest income, and a $4.9 million increase in provision for loan and lease losses.

The 2018 fiscal fourth quarter pre-tax results included a $7.0 million loss on the sale of securities, $3.2 million of merger and acquisition-related expenses, and $3.1 million of expense charges related to operational synergies. During the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, the Company also recognized a $4.6 million tax benefit as a result of amending a historical tax return of Crestmark Bancorp, Inc. The Company also recorded $4.0 million in investment tax credits related to alternative energy leasing initiatives in the Crestmark division. Amortization of intangible assets expense of $3.6 million and non-cash stock-related compensation expense of $1.3 million associated with executive officer employment agreements were also included in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter results (see the Select Quarterly Expenses table below).

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter was $48.5 million, up $24.0 million, or 98%, from the same quarter in 2017. The increase in net interest income from the prior year was driven primarily by the acquired loans and leases from the Crestmark acquisition along with strong loan growth in the Company’s existing portfolios. The quarterly average outstanding balance of loans from all sources as a percentage of interest-earning assets increased from 35% as of the end of the 2017 fiscal fourth quarter to 52% as of the end of the 2018 fiscal fourth quarter. In addition, the Company’s securities portfolio decreased from 63% of interest-earning assets in the 2017 fiscal fourth quarter to 46% of interest-earning assets in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2018, and within that portfolio, the lower-yielding agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) decreased from 20% of interest-earning assets in the 2017 fiscal fourth quarter to 11% of interest-earning assets for the same quarter in fiscal 2018. Net interest income for the 2018 fiscal fourth quarter increased $20.1 million from the Company’s 2018 fiscal third quarter, primarily due to an increase in higher-yielding loan and lease balances from the Crestmark acquisition during the quarter, partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to wholesale deposits.

During the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, the Company completed a balance sheet restructuring to better position the balance sheet for loan growth that Meta’s commercial finance division is expected to produce in the near term. Meta sold approximately $260 million of lower-yielding securities, the proceeds of which were partially reinvested during the 2018 fiscal fourth quarter, with the remaining proceeds anticipated to be invested in loans throughout fiscal 2019. The securities sold as part of the restructuring generated a loss of $7.0 million and were sold at a low-weighted average tax-equivalent book yield that was not providing attractive incremental leverage value. Management expects that the restructuring will have an earn-back of approximately 1.6 years. This balance sheet restructuring, once fully invested, is expected to positively impact net interest income and net interest margin over the near term.

Net Interest Margin

NIM was 4.27% in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, an increase of 114 basis points from 3.13% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding the change in the corporate tax rate resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), the reported NIM in the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter would have been 4.42%. The net effect of purchase accounting accretion contributed 12 basis points to the NIM for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

4

The overall reported tax-equivalent yield (“TEY”) on average-earning asset yields increased by 164 basis points to 5.25% when comparing the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter to the fiscal 2017 fourth quarter, driven primarily by the Company’s improved earning asset mix, which was attributable to loans and leases acquired as part of the Crestmark acquisition as well as through organic growth in the Company’s loan portfolio. The effect of purchase accounting accretion contributed 12 basis points to the TEY on average-earnings assets for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

The fiscal 2018 fourth quarter TEY on the Company’s securities portfolio decreased by 10 basis points to 3.09% compared to the comparable quarter in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the adoption of the Tax Act, which lowered the TEY on the Company’s tax-exempt securities. Had corporate tax rates not changed due to the Tax Act, reported securities portfolio TEY would have increased to 3.40% for the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter.

The Company’s average interest-earning assets for the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter grew by $1.07 billion, or 29%, to $4.75 billion from the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of loans and leases acquired in the Crestmark acquisition, along with organic growth in the Company’s loan portfolio.

Overall, the Company’s cost of funds for all deposits and borrowings averaged 1.01% during the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, compared to 0.50% for the fiscal 2017 fourth quarter. This increase was primarily due to a rising interest rate environment affecting overnight borrowing rates, as well as certain wholesale fundings and the acquired interest-bearing deposits from the Crestmark acquisition. The Company’s overall cost of deposits was 0.78% in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 0.24% in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. When excluding wholesale deposits, the Company’s cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 would have been 0.15%.

Non-Interest Income

Fiscal 2018 fourth quarter non-interest income of $24.6 million decreased $5.2 million, or 17%, from $29.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to an increase in the loss on sale of securities of $7.8 million and a decrease in card and deposit fee income of $5.9 million, or 22%, offset in part by increases in rental income of $7.3 million, other income of $1.1 million, and gain on sale of loans and leases of $0.4 million.

The increase in the loss on sale of securities was due to the Company’s balance sheet restructuring related to the Crestmark acquisition, as discussed in further detail in the Investments section below.

Card and deposit fee income totaled $21.0 million for the 2018 fiscal fourth quarter, a decrease of $5.9 million, or 22%, when compared to the same quarter in 2017. A reduction in residual fee income related to the wind-down of the Company’s relationships with two non-strategic payments partners led to a decrease in card and deposit fee income when comparing the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter to the same period of the prior fiscal year. When excluding declining residual fee income, the change in card and deposit fee income would have been flat when comparing the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company expects growth in card and deposit fee income to be moderated by declining residual fee income during fiscal year 2019.

The new activity in the line items of rental income and gain on sale of loans and leases were attributable to the Crestmark division. Rental income is related to the operating leases that were acquired through the Crestmark acquisition. Included in rental income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2018 is $1.0 million of above-market lease premium amortization. Gain on sale of loans and leases is recognized when the Company sells the guaranteed portion of SBA and USDA loans, along with the sale of lease and lease payment streams, both of which are attributable to the Crestmark division.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $12.9 million, or 24%, to $66.6 million for the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2017, primarily due to an $8.2 million increase in compensation and benefits expense, a $5.4 million increase in operating lease equipment depreciation expense, a $3.8 million increase in legal and consulting expense, a $2.5 million increase in other expense, a $1.7 million increase in amortization of intangibles expense, and a $1.4 million increase in occupancy and equipment expense. The non-interest expense for the 2017 fiscal fourth quarter included $10.2 million in intangible impairment expense, related to the non-renewal of the H&R Block tax advance relationship, compared to an immaterial amount of intangible impairment during the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter.

5

The increase in compensation and benefits expense was due in part to (i) employees joining the Company as part of the Crestmark acquisition, (ii) increased staffing to support the Company’s other growing business line initiatives and (iii) $0.9 million in separation agreement-related expenses recorded during the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter. Legal and consulting expense increased due to acquisition-related expenses, platform consolidation and operational synergies efforts from previous acquisitions relating to the tax services divisions. The increases in occupancy and equipment, amortization of intangibles, and other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year are primarily attributable to the Crestmark acquisition.

Income Tax Expense

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $7.6 million for the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.0 million for the fiscal 2017 fourth quarter. For the 2018 fiscal year, the effective tax rate was 9.0%, compared to 18.6% for the 2017 fiscal year.

Through the Crestmark acquisition, Meta acquired an experienced team and sophisticated processes for evaluating, underwriting, and managing alternative energy tax credit leasing opportunities. During the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, the Company recognized an investment tax credit, which reduced the Company’s income tax expense by $4.0 million. The timing and impact of solar tax credits are expected to vary from period to period, and Meta intends to undertake only those tax credit opportunities that meet the Company’s underwriting criteria.

The fiscal 2018 fourth quarter tax benefit also included a $4.6 million benefit recognized by the Company as a result of amending a historical tax return of Crestmark Bancorp, Inc.

Loans and Leases

Total net loans and leases receivable increased $1.61 billion, or 122%, to $2.93 billion at September 30, 2018 from $1.32 billion at September 30, 2017, which was primarily attributable to loans and leases acquired pursuant to the Crestmark acquisition. When excluding loans and leases acquired as part of the Crestmark acquisition, total net loans and leases receivable increased $454.0 million, or 34%, during fiscal year 2018. Crestmark loans and leases receivable were acquired at a fair value of $1.05 billion on August 1, 2018 and grew to $1.16 billion at September 30, 2018.

Excluding the Crestmark division, national lending loans and leases increased $291.4 million, or 74%, at September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017. Within the national lending portfolios, commercial finance loans and leases increased $95.4 million from September 30, 2017 to September 30, 2018, primarily driven by an increase of $87.4 million, or 35%, in commercial insurance premium finance loans. The consumer finance portfolio increased $195.1 million, largely driven by consumer credit products, an asset-based consumer warehouse line of credit, and the Company’s student loan portfolio.

Community banking loans grew $167.6 million, or 18%, at September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017, due to growth in commercial real estate loans of $163.1 million and residential mortgage loans of $26.8 million, offset in part by a decrease in agricultural loans of $34.9 million.

The combined allowance for loan and lease losses and fair value marks was $24.4 million, or 0.8%, of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 2018, compared to an allowance for loan loss of $7.5 million, or 0.6% of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 2017. The Company’s allowance for loans and leases was $13.0 million at September 30, 2018, compared to an allowance of $7.5 million at September 30, 2017, driven by increases in the allowance of $2.8 million in the Company’s student loan portfolio, $1.0 million related to Crestmark division loan and lease losses and $0.8 million related to consumer credit products. The remainder of the increase in the allowance is attributable to growth in the Company’s community banking and commercial insurance premium finance lending portfolios.

Provision for loan and lease losses was $4.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to a recovery of $0.1 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Net charge offs were $13.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, of which $11.3 million were related to charging-off the majority of the remaining balances of tax services loans.

6

For fiscal year 2018, the Company recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $29.4 million, compared to $10.6 million for the prior fiscal year. The increase in provision for loan and lease losses for fiscal year 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 is primarily due to the Company retaining all tax advance loans originated during the 2018 tax season, as opposed to the previous year when most of those loans were sold. The Company had net charge-offs of $23.9 million for the year-ended September 30, 2018.

Credit Quality

The Company’s NPAs at September 30, 2018 were $41.8 million, representing 0.72% of total assets, compared to $37.9 million, or 0.72% of total assets, at September 30, 2017. The increase in NPAs is primarily attributable to the acquired loans and leases from the Crestmark acquisition, along with increases related to loan growth in the commercial insurance premium finance, student loan, and tax services portfolios. Partially offsetting the increase in NPAs at September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017 was the payment in full of a previously disclosed $7.0 million nonperforming agricultural loan relationship during the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Investments

Investment securities and MBS decreased by $231.2 million, or 10%, to $2.03 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to September 30, 2017, including a decrease in MBS of $328.2 million, offset in part by an increase in other investment securities of $97.0 million. The Company anticipates further contraction in the securities portfolio as the Company expects to continue to use cash flow from its amortizing securities portfolio to fund loan growth.

Average TEY on the securities portfolio decreased 10 basis points to 3.09% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 from 3.19% in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. Overall TEY of other investment securities decreased by 44 basis points to 3.21% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 from 3.65% in the same period of fiscal 2017, primarily attributable to the effects of the Tax Act and a reduction of TEY due to the Company’s reduced overall tax rate. Average yields increased within MBS by 49 basis points to 2.72% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 from 2.23% in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. Average yields on asset-backed securities increased to 3.26% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 from 2.90% in the same quarter of fiscal 2017.

The TEY on the total securities portfolio of 3.09% for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2018 reflects the lowered corporate prorated tax rate on the Company’s tax-exempt municipal portfolio. Had corporate tax rates not changed due to the Tax Act, reported total securities portfolio yield would have been 3.40%, and the TEY of investment securities would have been 3.75% at the previous corporate rate. The 3.23% overall TEY of tax-exempt investment securities reflects the lowered corporate prorated tax rate.

When comparing the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 to the third quarter of fiscal 2018, average TEY on the total securities portfolio decreased by two basis points to 3.09% from 3.11%, of which investment securities TEY decreased 11 basis points from 3.34% to 3.23%, and MBS increased 16 basis points from 2.56% to 2.72%.

As previously noted, during the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, after the closing of the Crestmark acquisition and after board approval, the Company completed a balance sheet restructuring to better position the balance sheet for the loan growth which Meta’s commercial finance division produces and is expected to produce in the near term. Meta sold approximately $260 million of lower-yielding securities, over 80% of which were lower-yielding agency MBS. Removing these securities from the Company’s securities portfolio should provide for an improved overall securities portfolio yield and an improved earning asset mix.

During the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, the Company primarily purchased U.S. Government-related floating rate asset-backed securities in continuing to execute its investment strategy of primarily owning U.S. Government-related securities and U.S. Government-related MBS, as well as AAA- and AA- rated non-bank qualified municipal bonds and higher percentages of floating rate bonds. To a lesser extent, the Company purchased municipal housing bonds, all of which are tax-exempt and also backed, or collateralized, by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac, thereby enhancing credit quality, as well as an agency MBS.

Deposits, Other Borrowings and Other Liabilities

Total end-of-period deposits increased $1.21 billion, or 37%, to $4.43 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to September 30, 2017, primarily attributable to the fair value of deposits acquired on August 1, 2018 in the Crestmark acquisition, which included $829.0 million in wholesale deposits and $291.7 million in certificates of deposits.

Total average deposits for the 2018 fiscal fourth quarter increased by $1.03 billion, or 33%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. Average wholesale deposits increased $778.6 million, or 142%, and non-interest bearing deposits increased $88.9 million, or 4%, for the 2018 fiscal fourth quarter when compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. The Payments division’s average deposits increased $111.5 million, or 5%, to $2.36 billion for the 2018 fiscal fourth quarter when compared to the same quarter of 2017.

The average balance of total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was $4.58 billion for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to $3.53 billion for the same period in fiscal 2017, representing an increase of 30%.

Capital Ratios

The Company and the Bank remain above the federal regulatory minimum capital requirements to remain classified as well-capitalized institutions. Regulatory capital ratios of the Company and the Bank at September 30, 2018 are stated in the table below.

The tables below also include certain non-GAAP financial measures that are used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to assess the capital position of financial services companies. Management reviews these measures along with other measures of capital as part of its financial analysis.

The following table provides certain non-GAAP financial measures used to compute certain of the ratios included in the table above, as well as a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP:

The following table provides a reconciliation of tangible common equity used in calculating tangible book value data.

Due to the predictable, quarterly cyclicality of non-interest bearing deposits in connection with tax season business activity, management believes that a six-month capital calculation is a useful metric to monitor the Company’s overall capital management process. As such, the Bank’s six-month average Tier 1 leverage ratio, Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio, and Total qualifying capital ratio as of September 30, 2018 were 10.64%, 16.84%, 16.92%, and 17.37%, respectively.
