Northwest Bancshares, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2018 Earnings and Quarterly Dividend Increase
 
Warren, Pennsylvania — January 22, 2019
 
Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (NasdaqGS: NWBI) announced net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 of $26.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. This represents an increase of $4.3 million, or 19.5%, compared to the same quarter last year when net income was $22.1 million or $0.22 per diluted share. The annualized returns on average shareholders’ equity and average assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 were 8.44% and 1.09% compared to 7.31% and 0.94% for the same quarter last year. 

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share payable on February 14, 2019, to shareholders of record as of February 1, 2019. This is a 5.9% increase over the prior quarter and represents the 97th consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend. Based on the market value of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2018, this dividend represents an annualized yield of approximately 4.25%.

In making this announcement, Ronald J. Seiffert, President and CEO, noted, "We are very pleased with both the fourth quarter and annual results for 2018 and are equally excited about our momentum going into 2019. Despite the challenges that we and most of the industry have been facing regarding commercial loan growth and elevated payoff levels, we were pleased that many of these payoffs allowed us to reduce our substandard loans by over $54 million, or 22.7%. We were still able to grow loans by $258 million, or 3.3%, during the year because of our diversity and ability to augment our commercial loan growth with both direct and indirect retail lending. Our net interest margin remained flat for the year at a healthy 3.94%, despite four market rate increases and a flattening yield curve. Finally, having now received all regulatory approvals, we look forward to closing the acquisition and conversion of Union Community Bank on the weekend of March 8, 2019 and to welcoming their employees and customers to the Northwest family."

Net interest income increased by $2.6 million, or 3.1%, to $86.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, from $84.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. This increase is due primarily to a $5.4 million, or 6.1%, increase in interest income on loans receivable and a $926,000, or 30.7%, increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities. These increases were primarily due to increases of $234.8 million, or 3.0%, and $38.0 million, or 6.5%, in the average balances of loans and mortgage-backed securities, respectively. Additionally, the average yield on loans and mortgage-backed securities increased by 12 and 47 basis points, respectively, over the prior year.

     The provision for loan losses decreased by $2.7 million, or 41.9%, to $3.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, from $6.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. This decrease is due primarily to a reduction in loans risk rated as substandard of $53.7 million, or 22.7%, from $237.8 million at December 31, 2017 to $184.1 million at December 31, 2018.
     
Noninterest income increased by $343,000, or 1.5%, to $23.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, from $22.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Contributing to this increase was a $658,000 increase in other operating income as a result of fees earned from debit/credit card volume-based incentives and a $300,000 increase in income from service charges and fees as a result of increased transaction volume. Additionally, the Company realized a gain of $4,000 on the sale of investments during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 as compared to a loss of $369,000 a year ago. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in income from bank owned life insurance of $1.3 million as a result of death benefits received during the prior year.






     Noninterest expense increased by $377,000, or 0.5%, to $72.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, from $71.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. This increase resulted primarily from a $1.4 million, or 56.7%, increase in other expense due primarily to an increase in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in premises and occupancy costs of $726,000, or 10.0%, and a decline in office operations expense of $556,000, or 13.9%, primarily as a result of initiatives made during 2017 such as the sale of the Maryland branches, closure of the consumer finance company and divestiture of the retirement services subsidiary, the full benefits of which were recognized in 2018.

Income tax expense increased by $971,000, or 14.8%, to $7.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, from $6.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in income before taxes of $5.3 million, or 18.4%, to $34.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 from $28.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $105.5 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, which represents an increase of $11.0 million, or 11.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, when net income was $94.5 million, or $0.92 per diluted share. The returns on average shareholders’ equity and average assets for the year ended December 31, 2018 were 8.61% and 1.11%, respectively, compared to 7.95% and 0.99% for the same period last year.  This increase in net income was the result of an increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses of $7.3 million, or 2.3%, a decrease in noninterest expense of $9.5 million, or 3.3%, and a lower effective tax rate as prescribed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
