Exhibit 99.1
Mercantile Bank Corporation Announces Strong Fourth Quarter and
Full Year 2017 Results
Solid core profitability and loan growth of nearly 8 percent highlight 2017
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., January 16, 2018 – Mercantile Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: MBWM) ("Mercantile") reported net income of $8.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017, compared with net income of $8.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the respective prior-year period. For the full year 2017, Mercantile reported net income of $31.3 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, compared with net income of $31.9 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, for the full year 2016.
Excluding the impacts of certain noncore transactions, diluted earnings per share during 2017 and 2016 equaled $1.89 and $1.76, respectively. These transactions included a Bank-owned life insurance death benefit claim in the first quarter of 2017, the revaluation of Mercantile’s net deferred tax asset in response to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act becoming law in December of 2017, the repurchase of trust preferred securities at a discount in the first quarter of 2016, and accelerated purchase discount accretion on called U.S. Government agency bonds during 2016.
The fourth quarter and full year were highlighted by:
|
● |
Strong core earnings and capital position |
|
● |
Stable and robust net interest margin |
|
● |
Solid growth in various fee income categories |
|

|
● |
Total loan growth of $180 million, or nearly 8 percent, during the full year |
|
● |
New commercial term loan originations of approximately $119 million during the fourth quarter and $529 million during the full year |
|
● |
Sustained strength in commercial loan pipeline |
|
● |
Announced first quarter 2018 regular cash dividend of $0.22 per common share, an increase of approximately 16 percent from the $0.19 regular cash dividend paid during the fourth quarter of 2017 |
“Our strong 2017 financial results reflect the success of various ongoing strategic initiatives,” said Robert B. Kaminski, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Mercantile. “Our focus on net interest margin maintenance, enhanced fee generation, and overhead cost control played a key role in our demonstrated solid operating performance throughout all of 2017. We are very pleased with the level of loan growth during the year, which was achieved in a disciplined manner and in spite of competitive pressures, and our continuing strong asset quality. Based on our overall financial strength and current loan pipeline and prospects, we are well-positioned to participate in the economic strength of our markets during 2018.”
Operating Results
Total revenue, which consists of net interest income and noninterest income, was $32.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2017, up $1.9 million, or 6.0 percent, from the prior-year fourth quarter. Net interest income during the fourth quarter of 2017 was $28.4 million, up $2.0 million, or 7.4 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2016, reflecting a higher level of earning assets and an increased net interest margin. Total revenue was $129 million during the full year 2017, up $1.8 million, or 1.5 percent, from 2016. Net interest income was $110 million in 2017, up $3.9 million, or 3.7 percent, from the prior year, reflecting a higher level of earning assets.
The net interest margin was 3.76 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017, up from 3.72 percent in the prior-year fourth quarter. The increase in the net interest margin primarily resulted from a higher yield on loans, mainly reflecting the positive impact of higher interest rates on variable-rate commercial loans stemming from the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) hiking the targeted federal funds rate by 25 basis points in December of 2016 and March, June, and December of 2017. The cost of funds equaled 0.59 percent during the fourth quarter of 2017, up from 0.46 percent during the respective 2016 period mainly due to increased costs of certain non-time deposit accounts, time deposits, and borrowed funds.
The net interest margin was 3.79 percent in 2017, down from 3.86 percent in 2016 due to an increased cost of funds, which more than offset a slight increase in the yield on average earning assets. The cost of funds equaled 0.54 percent during 2017, up from 0.45 percent during 2016 primarily due to higher costs of certain non-time deposits, time deposits, and borrowed funds. The improved yield on average earning assets mainly resulted from an increased yield on loans, primarily reflecting higher interest rates on variable-rate commercial loans stemming from the previously-mentioned FOMC rate hikes, which more than offset a decreased yield on securities, mainly reflecting a decreased level of accelerated purchase discount accretion on called U.S. Government agency bonds. A change in earning asset mix also contributed to the increased yield on average earning assets; average loans represented 85.2 percent of average earning assets during 2017, up from 84.9 percent during 2016. The accelerated discount accretion totaled $2.2 million during 2016, positively impacting the net interest margin by eight basis points. A nominal level of accelerated discount accretion on called U.S. Government agency bonds was recorded as interest income during 2017.
Net interest income and the net interest margin during 2017 and 2016 were also affected by purchase accounting accretion and amortization entries associated with the fair value measurements recorded effective June 1, 2014. Increases in interest income on loans totaling $4.6 million and $4.9 million were recorded during 2017 and 2016, respectively. An increase in interest expense on subordinated debentures totaling $0.7 million was recorded during both 2017 and 2016. Purchased loan accretion amounts vary from period to period as a result of periodic cash flow re-estimations, loan payoffs, and payment performance.
Mercantile recorded a $0.6 million provision for loan losses during both the fourth quarter of 2017 and the prior-year fourth quarter. During 2017, Mercantile recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.0 million, compared to a provision of $2.9 million during 2016. The provision expense recorded during the 2017 and 2016 periods primarily reflects ongoing loan growth and periodic adjustments to loan loss reserve environmental factors.
Noninterest income during the fourth quarter of 2017 was $4.5 million, down $0.1 million, or 2.2 percent, from the prior-year fourth quarter. Growth in credit and debit card fees and payroll processing revenue was more than offset by a decline in other income, which was elevated in the fourth quarter of 2016 mainly as a result of payments received on certain purchased credit-impaired loans. Noninterest income for 2017 was $19.0 million, down $2.0 million, or 9.7 percent, from 2016. Core noninterest income revenue streams, including treasury management income, credit and debit card interchange fees, mortgage banking activity income, payroll processing revenue, and customer service fees, increased $1.2 million, or 8.5 percent, on a combined basis in 2017 compared to the prior year. The increase in mortgage banking activity income primarily reflects the positive impact of strategic initiatives that were implemented in the latter half of 2016 and throughout 2017, including the hiring of additional loan originators, introduction of new and enhanced products, loan programs and increased marketing efforts. Noninterest income during both periods benefitted from certain noncore transactions, including a Bank-owned life insurance death benefit claim in 2017 and a gain associated with a trust preferred securities repurchase transaction in 2016.
Noninterest expense totaled $19.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2017, up $1.5 million, or 7.9 percent, from the prior-year fourth quarter. Noninterest expense during 2017 was $79.7 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 3.4 percent, from the $77.1 million expensed during 2016. The higher level of expense in the 2017 periods primarily resulted from expected increases in various operating expenses stemming from recent expansion initiatives and increased salary expense, mainly reflecting annual employee merit pay increases, the hiring of additional staff, a larger bonus accrual, and greater stock-based compensation expense. A significant portion of the increased salary expense resulting from staff additions reflects the opening of the southeast Michigan office.
Mr. Kaminski continued, “Our net interest margin remained relatively steady during 2017, ranging from 3.73 percent to 3.85 percent on a quarterly basis. The increase in our loan yield, which helped offset the impact of an increased cost of funds on our net interest margin, primarily reflects the positive impact of the recent Federal Open Market Committee rate hikes, which outweighed the negative impacts stemming from persistent competitive pressures and the ongoing relatively low interest rate environment. In light of our current balance sheet structure, we anticipate that potential additional rate hikes will benefit our net interest income. We are pleased with the growth in our core noninterest income revenue streams, and we will continue our efforts to enhance fee income in future periods.”
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2017, total assets were $3.29 billion, up $204 million, or 6.6 percent, from December 31, 2016. Total loans increased $180 million, or 7.6 percent, to $2.56 billion over the same time period. Approximately $119 million and $529 million in commercial term loans to new and existing borrowers were originated during the fourth quarter and full year of 2017, respectively, as ongoing sales and relationship-building efforts resulted in increased lending opportunities. As of December 31, 2017, unfunded commitments on commercial construction and development loans totaled approximately $154 million, which are expected to be largely funded over the next 12 to 18 months.
Raymond Reitsma, President of Mercantile Bank of Michigan, noted, “We are very pleased with our new commercial term loan originations during 2017. Although the commercial loan portfolio slightly contracted during the fourth quarter of 2017, we were still able to produce net loan growth during the quarter as a result of growth in the residential mortgage portfolio. The reduction in commercial loans stemmed from an unusually high level of payoffs, primarily reflecting situations whereby we remained committed to margin and credit quality preservation. The solid growth in the commercial and industrial, owner-occupied commercial real estate, and non-owner occupied commercial real estate portfolios during 2017 reflects the ongoing efforts of our lending team to identify new lending opportunities and meet the needs of existing customers, while growth in the residential mortgage portfolio during the year depicts the success of strategic initiatives focused on increasing our market presence. Based on the strength of our current loan pipelines and additional lending opportunities reported by commercial lenders, we are confident that we can grow the commercial and residential loan portfolios in future periods.”
Commercial and industrial loans and owner-occupied commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans combined represented approximately 58 percent of total commercial loans as of December 31, 2017. Non-owner occupied CRE loans equaled about 36 percent of total commercial loans as of December 31, 2017.
As of December 31, 2017, total deposits were $2.52 billion, up $147 million from December 31, 2016. Local deposits were up $121 million since year-end 2016. Growth in local deposits was mainly driven by new commercial loan relationships and the success of various deposit account initiatives. Wholesale funds were $323 million, or approximately 11 percent of total funds, as of December 31, 2017, compared to $251 million, or about 9 percent of total funds, as of December 31, 2016.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2017 were $9.4 million, or 0.3 percent of total assets, compared to $6.4 million, or 0.2 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2016. The transfer of a Bank-owned parcel of real estate, which is no longer being considered for use as a bank facility, from fixed assets to other real estate owned accounted for nearly 55 percent of the $3.0 million increase in nonperforming assets during 2017. The parcel of real estate is expected to be sold in the next six months for an amount that approximates current book value. The level of past due loans remains nominal, and loan relationships on the internal watch list have remained relatively consistent in number and dollar volume.
Net loan charge-offs were $0.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2017, or an annualized 0.05 percent of average loans, and $0.2 million, or an annualized 0.03 percent of average loans, during the prior-year fourth quarter. Net loan charge-offs totaled $1.4 million during 2017, or 0.06 percent of average loans, and $0.6 million, or 0.03 percent of average loans, during 2016.
Capital Position
Shareholders’ equity totaled $366 million as of December 31, 2017, an increase of $25.1 million from year-end 2016. The Bank’s capital position remains above “well-capitalized” with a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.6 percent as of December 31, 2017, compared to 13.1 percent at December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2017, the Bank had approximately $77 million in excess of the 10.0 percent minimum regulatory threshold required to be considered a “well-capitalized” institution. Mercantile reported 16,592,125 total shares outstanding at December 31, 2017.
No shares were repurchased during 2017 as part of the $20 million stock repurchase program that was announced in January of 2015. Future share repurchases totaling $15.5 million can be made under the program, which was expanded by $15 million in early 2016.
Mr. Kaminski concluded, “Our strong financial performance during 2017 positions us to meet growth objectives and further build shareholder value. As evidenced by our ongoing cash dividend program, including the announcement of an increased first quarter 2018 regular cash dividend earlier today, we remain committed to enhancing shareholder value. Our relationship-based banking approach, which focuses on meeting customers’ needs through the efficient delivery of a wide-range of products and services, continues to be successful as depicted by the solid growth in deposits and loans during the year. We are excited about Mercantile’s future and are confident that our demonstrated robust operating performance will continue in the current year.”
