For Immediate Release
Level One Bancorp, Inc. reports fourth quarter 2018 net income of $4.0 million, representing $0.50 of earnings per diluted share
Loan growth of 8.85% in the last twelve months and the size of the mortgage team doubled
Farmington Hills, MI – January 30, 2019 – Level One Bancorp, Inc. (“Level One”) (Nasdaq: LEVL) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2018, which included net income of $4.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter and $933 thousand, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2017. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, Level One's net income was $14.4 million, or $1.91 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $9.8 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.
Patrick J. Fehring, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented “We are pleased to announce a strong year with fourth quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.50 and full year diluted earnings per share of $1.91. Our fourth quarter net income of $4.0 million represented a 21.4% increase in earnings quarter over quarter, and our full year net income of $14.4 million represented a 46.2% increase in earnings year over year. Fourth quarter earnings were aided by a decline of 0.7% in non-interest expenses from the previous quarter. The solid 2018 earnings were driven by strong loan growth of approximately 9% and a continuing increase in noninterest income resulting from our previously announced expansion of our residential mortgage loan operations. Earlier this month, we also announced the approval by our board of directors of a share buyback program as a further avenue for enhancing shareholder value while also maintaining strong capital levels.”
He continued, “2018 was an exciting year, marked with the completion of our initial public offering. Looking ahead to 2019 with a strong local economy and a solid loan pipeline, we are seeing good opportunities for quality growth in our markets, thereby enhancing shareholder value.”

Balance Sheet Review
Level One's total assets were $1.42 billion at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $30.1 million, or 2.08%, from $1.45 billion at September 30, 2018, and up $114.9 million, or 8.83%, from $1.30 billion at December 31, 2017. The decrease in total assets from third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to a decrease in cash balances held with the Federal Reserve Bank.
The investment securities portfolio was $204.3 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $5.2 million, or 2.62%, from $199.1 million at September 30, 2018, and up $53.3 million, or 35.30%, from $151.0 million at December 31, 2017.
Total loans were $1.13 billion at December 31, 2018, an increase of $11.6 million, or 1.04 %, from $1.11 billion at September 30, 2018, and up $91.6 million, or 8.85%, from $1.03 billion at December 31, 2017. The growth in total loans compared to December 31, 2017 was primarily due to growth in our commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios.
Total deposits were $1.13 billion at December 31, 2018, an increase of $4.3 million, or 0.38%, from $1.13 billion at September 30, 2018, and up $14.3 million, or 1.27%, from $1.12 billion at December 31, 2017. Total deposit composition at December 31, 2018 consisted of 31.92% of demand deposit accounts, 25.35% of savings and money market accounts and 42.73% of time deposits.
Operating Results
Level One's net interest income decreased $256 thousand, or 1.96%, to $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $13.1 million in the preceding quarter, primarily as a result of higher costs of funds, and increased $812 thousand, or 6.77%, compared to $12.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily as a result of increased income on originated loans, partially offset by increased expense on deposits.
Level One’s net interest margin, on a FTE basis, was 3.73% in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 3.97% in the preceding quarter and 4.00% in the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily as a result of higher cost of funds, as well as a decline in average loan yield from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2018.
Level One's noninterest income increased $383 thousand, or 19.91%, to $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $1.9 million in the preceding quarter, and increased $910 thousand, or 65.14%, compared to $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The change in noninterest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to an increase in mortgage banking activities as a result of the expansion of the mortgage team as well as an increase in interest rate swap fee income, included in other charges and fees.
Level One’s noninterest expenses decreased $70 thousand, or 0.67%, to $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $10.5 million in the preceding quarter, and increased $1.2 million, or 12.97%, compared to $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in noninterest expenses year over year was predominantly a result of increased salary and employee benefits due to the doubling in size of the mortgage division during the third quarter of 2018. The efficiency ratio, which is a measure of operating expenses as a percentage of net interest income and noninterest income, for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 68.68%, compared to 69.73% for the preceding quarter and 68.61% in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Level One's income tax provision was $836 thousand, or 17.46% of pretax income, in the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to $665 thousand, or 16.96% of pretax income, in the preceding quarter and $2.3 million, or 71.29% of pretax income, in the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease in tax expense during the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, is primarily due to the change in federal corporate income tax rates from 35% to 21% and the recording of a $1.3 million deferred tax asset impairment in the fourth quarter of 2017 as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans were $18.4 million, or 1.64% of total loans, at December 31, 2018, an increase of $5.5 million from nonperforming loans of $12.9 million, or 1.15% of total loans, at September 30, 2018, and an increase of $4.4 million from nonperforming loans of $14.0 million, or 1.36% of total loans, at December 31, 2017. The increase in nonperforming loans is primarily due to a large loan relationship of $7.2 million moving to nonaccrual, partially offset by the payoff of $2.9 million on a nonaccrual loan relationship during the fourth quarter 2018. Level One had no other real estate owned assets at December 31, 2018 or September 30, 2018, compared to $652 thousand at December 31, 2017. Nonperforming assets, consisting of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, as a percentage of total assets were 1.30% at December 31, 2018, compared to 0.89% at September 30, 2018, and 1.13% at December 31, 2017.
In addition, we had $243 thousand in loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing at December 31, 2018, compared to $354 thousand at September 30, 2018 and $440 thousand at December 31, 2017.
Performing troubled debt restructured loans that were not included in nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2018 were $931 thousand, compared to $2.5 million in the preceding quarter and $1.2 million at December 31, 2017. Borrowers who are in financial difficulty and who have been granted concessions that may include interest rate reductions, forbearance agreements, and principal deferral or reduction, are categorized as troubled debt restructured loans.
Net chargeoffs in the fourth quarter of 2018 were $274 thousand, or 0.10% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $194 thousand of net chargeoffs, or 0.07% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the preceding quarter and $873 thousand of net chargeoffs, or 0.35% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.
Level One's fourth quarter provision for loan losses was a provision benefit of $51 thousand, compared to a provision expense of $619 thousand in the preceding quarter and a provision expense of $956 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2017. The change in provision for loan losses was primarily due to lower charge offs than the specific reserve on a loan that paid off during the fourth quarter of 2018. The allowance for loan losses was $11.6 million, or 1.03% of total loans, at December 31, 2018, compared to $11.9 million, or 1.07% of total loans, at September 30, 2018, and $11.7 million, or 1.13% of total loans, at December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2018, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 62.70%, compared to 92.36% at September 30, 2018, and 83.38% at December 31, 2017.
Capital
Total shareholders’ equity was $151.8 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $6.3 million, or 4.33%, compared with $145.5 million at September 30, 2018, primarily as a result of increased retained earnings and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss, and an increase of $43.8 million, or 40.57%, from $108.0 million at December 31, 2017, primarily as a result of our initial public offering of 1,150,765 shares of common stock in April of 2018.

Share Buyback Program: On January 23, 2019, Level One announced that its Board of Directors approved a repurchase program under which Level One is authorized to repurchase, from time to time as Level One deems appropriate, shares of Level One’s common stock with an aggregate purchase price of up to $5 million.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial measures included in this earnings release are not measures of financial performance recognized by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible shareholders' equity, tangible book value per share, and the ratio of tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of our performance, and we believe financial analysts and others frequently use these measures, and other similar measures, to evaluate capital adequacy. We calculate: (i) tangible shareholders' equity as total shareholders' equity less core deposit intangibles and goodwill; (ii) tangible book value per share as tangible shareholders' equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding; and (iii) tangible assets as total assets, less core deposit intangibles and goodwill.
The following presents these non-GAAP financial measures along with their most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP:
