MutualFirst Financial Announces Record Earnings for 2018

MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: MFSF), the holding company of MutualBank (the "Bank"), announced today net income available to common shareholders was $5.3 million, or $0.61 diluted earnings per common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. This compared to net income available to common shareholders for the same period in 2017 of $1.5 million, or $0.19 diluted earnings per common share. Annualized return on average assets was 1.04% and return on average tangible common equity was 12.56% for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to 0.37% and 3.89%, respectively, for the same period of last year. In the fourth quarter of 2017, MFSF recorded an additional tax expense of $2.0 million due to a revaluation of MFSF's deferred tax asset.

Adjusted net income to common shareholders, excluding $1.9 million of one-time merger related expenses, net of tax, was $20.8 million, or $2.43 diluted earnings per common share for year ended 2018. This compared to net income available to common shareholders of $12.3 million, or $1.64 diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2017. Return on average assets would have been 1.07% and return on average tangible common equity would have been 12.85% for the year ended 2018 compared to 0.78% and 8.52%, respectively, for last year.

Including the one-time merger related expenses, net income available to common shareholders was $18.9 million, or $2.21 diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2018. Annualized return on average assets was 0.97% and return on tangible common equity was 11.66% for the year ended 2018.

On February 28, 2018, MutualFirst Financial, Inc. closed its acquisition of Universal Bancorp and merged Universal's wholly owned subsidiary, BloomBank, into MutualFirst Financial's wholly owned subsidiary, MutualBank. At closing, this acquisition increased total assets by approximately $398 million, total investments by $88 million, net loans by $253 million and total deposits by $315 million. As a result of the acquisition, initial goodwill generated was $21 million and the core deposit intangible was $4.5 million. On April 23, 2018, the system conversion was completed to merge all of the BloomBank customers into MutualBank's system.

"2018 was an exciting and successful year for MutualFirst Financial," said David W. Heeter, CEO. "The successful acquisition and integration of Universal has provided an accretion in earnings and an increase in shareholder value."

Balance Sheet

Assets increased $460 million as of December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017, primarily due to the acquisition of Universal. The gross loan portfolio increased by $316 million primarily due to acquiring the $253 million net loan portfolio of Universal in the first quarter of 2018. Non-residential consumer loans have been the primary source of organic loan growth increasing by $69 million, or 35%, in 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the loan mix is 46.0% commercial, 36.2% residential loans and 17.8% non-residential consumer loans compared to 40.3%, 43.3% and 16.4%, respectively as of December 31, 2017.

Deposits increased by $317 million in 2018 primarily due to an increase of $315 million from the acquisition of Universal. As of December 31, 2018, core deposits totaled $1.0 billion, or 67.8% of total deposits and certificates of deposit totaled $488 million, or 32.2% of total deposits. This is compared to a mix of core deposits of 69.1% and certificates of deposit of 30.9% as of December 31, 2017.

Allowance for loan losses increased to $13.3 million as of December 31, 2018 compared to $12.4 million as of December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans as of December 31, 2018 was 146% compared to 236% as of December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses to total loans as of December 31, 2018 was 0.89% compared to 1.05% as of December 31, 2017. The decrease is a result of loans obtained in the Universal acquisition with an original credit mark of $4.0 million which is not included in the allowance for loan losses. Non-performing loans to total loans at December 31, 2018 were 0.61% compared to 0.44% at December 31, 2017. Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.54% at December 31, 2018 compared to 0.38% at December 31, 2017. The increase in non-performing loans was primarily due to one loan in the amount of $3.2 million, that went non-performing at year end, but was back to performing in early January.

Stockholders' equity was $202.4 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $52.1 million from December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to $42.3 million of capital issued as part of the acquisition of Universal and net income available to common shareholders of $18.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $3.0 million and common stock dividends of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company's tangible book value per common share as of December 31, 2018 was $20.51 compared to $20.08 as of December 31, 2017 and the tangible common equity ratio decreased to 8.72% as of December 31, 2018 compared to 9.35% as of December 31, 2017. MFSF's and the Bank's risk-based capital ratios remained in excess of "well-capitalized" levels as defined by all regulatory standards as of December 31, 2018.

Mr. Heeter added, "We are continuing to remix our balance sheet, which is important to continue our performance momentum."

Income Statement

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $6.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in net interest income was primarily a result of an increase of $409 million in average interest earning assets, due to the acquisition in the first quarter of 2018 and organic loan growth. This increase was aided by an increase of twenty basis points in net interest margin to 3.47%, while the tax equivalent margin increased sixteen basis points. Net interest margin was also aided by approximately nine basis points of purchase accounting adjustments in the quarter from acquired loan prepayments and paydowns. On a linked quarter basis, net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $77,000 as net interest margin decreased by three basis points partially offset by average interest earning assets increasing by $20.1 million, primarily due to increases in the average loan portfolio and average investment portfolio.

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $14.8 million in 2018 compared to 2017. The increase was a result of an increase of $342 million in average interest earning assets due to the acquisition in the first quarter of 2018 and organic loan growth. This increase was aided by the net interest margin increasing to 3.47% in 2018 compared to 3.27% in 2017, while the tax equivalent net interest margin increased to 3.55% in 2018 compared to 3.38% in 2017. Net interest margin was also aided in 2018 by approximately eight basis points of purchase accounting adjustments from acquired loan prepayments and paydowns.

Provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $600,000 compared to $350,000 during last year's comparable period. The increase was due to management's ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and was primarily attributable to an increasing loan portfolio. Net charge offs totaled $328,000, or 0.09% of total average loans on an annualized basis, in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to net charge offs of $341,000, or 0.11% of total average loans on an annualized basis, in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The provision for loan losses for 2018 was $2.1 million compared to $1.2 million during 2017. The increase was primarily due to our growing loan portfolio. Net charge-offs for 2018 equaled $1.2 million, or 0.09% of total average loans compared to $1.2 million, or 0.10% of total average loans in 2017.

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $5.3 million, an increase of $449,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. Increases in non-interest income included an increase of $571,000 in service charges on deposit accounts primarily due to increases in interchange income along with increases due to the acquisition and an increase of $206,000 in other income due to a gain on the sale of a low-income housing property. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $260,000 on gain on sale of loans primarily due to selling $18.5 million of portfolio mortgage loans in the fourth quarter of 2017, which was not repeated in 2018, a decrease of $139,000 in commission income and a decrease of $117,000 on gain on sale of investments. On a linked quarter basis, non-interest income increased $258,000 due to an increase of $366,000 in service charges on deposit accounts and an increase of $119,000 in other income. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $268,000 in gain on sale of investments.

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $19.6 million, an increase of $1.5 million compared to year ended 2017. The reasons for the increase include a $1.4 million improvement in service fee income on deposit accounts for the reasons mentioned above and a $567,000 improvement in other income primarily due to a death benefit received on life insurance in the first quarter of 2018 along with the sale of a low-income housing property in the fourth quarter. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $761,000 in net gain on sale of mortgage loans primarily due to fewer mortgage loans being sold in 2018 compared to 2017.

Non-interest expense increased $3.1 million when comparing the fourth quarter of 2018 with the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition and integration of Universal. One-time pretax merger-related expenses, primarily in compensation and other expenses, were $79,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018. On a linked quarter basis, non-interest expense increased $445,000 primarily due to an increase of $743,000 in compensation and benefit expenses due to an increase of $511,000 in health insurance due to an increase in claims paid.

Non-interest expense increased $12.7 million when comparing the full year of 2018 with 2017. The increase was directly related to the acquisition and integration of Universal into MutualFirst in 2018. One-time pretax merger-related expenses were $2.4 million in 2018.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 14.3% compared to 69.3% in the same quarter of 2017. The primary reason for the decline was the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21% and the one-time deferred tax revaluation as of December 2017 that was not repeated in 2018.

The effective tax rate for the full year of 2018 was 13.6% compared to 35.6% for 2017. The primary reason for the decline was the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21% and the one-time deferred tax revaluation as of December 2017 that was not repeated in 2018.

Mr. Heeter concluded, "2018 was the fourth year of our five-year strategic plan. We have been successful in the execution of that plan. Now that the acquisition has been completed, our plan will be to recast the strategic plan over the next four years and build upon the momentum that has been created to enhance shareholder value."

(1)   Pre-tax pre-provision income is calculated by taking net income available to common shareholders and adding income tax provision and provision for loan losses.


(2)   Calculated net of deferred loan fees, loan discounts, loans in process and loss reserves.


(3)   Tax equivalent margin is calculated by taking non-taxable interest and grossing up by 21% applicable tax rate for 2018 and 34% applicable tax rate prior to 2018.


(4)   Ratios for the three month periods have been annualized.


(5)   Net interest income divided by average interest earning assets.
