Heritage Commerce Corp’s First Quarter 2016 Earnings Increased 48% From the Prior Year First Quarter

 

San Jose, CA — April 28, 2016 — Heritage Commerce Corp (Nasdaq: HTBK), the holding company (the “Company”) for Heritage Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”), today reported net income increased 48% to $6.1 million, or $0.16 per average diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.13 per average diluted common share for the first quarter of 2015, and increased 38% from $4.4 million, or $0.12 per average diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2015.  All results are unaudited and include the acquisition of Focus Business Bank (“Focus”) from August 20, 2015.

 

“Following one of our most profitable years in almost 10 years, our positive earnings results continued, and we achieved record net income in the first quarter of 2016,” said Walter Kaczmarek, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We continue to demonstrate strong operating performance with excellent asset quality, a strong balance sheet and a solid net interest margin.”

 

“The first quarter of 2016 was our first full quarter since closing the Focus acquisition and, therefore, does not include any one-time closing or integration costs, all of which were recognized in 2015.  The acquisition of Focus last year, and the acquisition of Bay View Funding in 2014, have had a favorable impact to our earnings and to our Greater San Francisco Bay Area franchise.  As a result, our growing franchise is generating excellent results for our customers, communities, employees and shareholders.”

 

First Quarter 2016 Highlights (as of, or for the period ended March 31, 2016, except as noted):

 

·                  Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.16 for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $0.13 for the first quarter of 2015, and $0.12 for the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

·                  Net interest income increased 32% to $22.3 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $16.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, and increased 1% from $22.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

·                  For the first quarter of 2016, the fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin contracted 36 basis points to 4.22% from 4.58% for the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to higher average balances of lower yielding excess funds at the Federal Reserve Bank, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and lower yields on securities.  This was partially offset by accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction for the first quarter of 2016.  For the first quarter of 2016, the net interest margin increased 9 basis points from 4.13% for the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to re-deploying excess liquidity into higher yielding loans and securities.

 

·                  The accretion of the loan purchase discount in loan interest income from the Focus transaction was $518,000 for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The total purchase discount on non-impaired loans from the Focus loan portfolio was $4.6 million as of the acquisition date, of which $1.9 million has been accreted to loan interest income from August 21, 2015 through March 31, 2016.

 

·                  The yield on the loan portfolio was 5.64% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 5.71% for the first quarter of 2015, and 5.92% for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio for the first quarter of 2016, compared to the first quarter of 2015, primarily reflects a decrease in the proportion of loans in the higher yielding Bay View Funding factored receivables portfolio relative to the addition of the Focus loans and growth in the Company’s legacy portfolio, partially offset by the accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction.  The decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio for the first quarter of 2016, compared to fourth quarter of 2015, primarily reflects a lower accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction.  Excluding the accretion of the loan purchase discount and the Bay View Funding factored receivables portfolio, the yield on the loan portfolio was 4.78% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 4.73% for the first quarter of 2015, and 4.79% for the fourth quarter of 2015.

·     Loans (excluding loans-held-for-sale) increased $293.3 million, or 27%, to $1.40 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.10 billion at March 31, 2015, which included an increase of $162.2 million, or 15%, in the Company’s legacy loan portfolio, and $131.1 million from the Focus loan portfolio.  Loans increased $36.5 million, or 3%, at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.36 billion at December 31, 2015.

 

·                  Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) decreased to $4.6 million, or 0.20% of total assets, at March 31, 2016, compared to $8.4 million, or 0.51% of total assets, at March 31, 2015, and $6.7 million, or 0.29% of total assets, at December 31, 2015.

 

·                  Classified assets, net of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) guarantees, were $21.1 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $16.6 million at March 31, 2015, and from $20.5 million at December 31, 2015.

 

·                  Net recoveries totaled $131,000 for the first quarter of 2016, compared to net recoveries of $235,000 for the first quarter of 2015, and net charge-offs of $182,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

·                  There was a $401,000 provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2016, compared to a $60,000 credit provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2015, and a $371,000 provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

·                  The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) was 1.39% of total loans at March 31, 2016, compared to 1.68% at March 31, 2015, and 1.39% at December 31, 2015.  The ALLL to total nonperforming loans was 465.06% at March 31, 2016, compared to 275.57% at March 31, 2015, and 296.74% at December 31, 2015.  The allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased at March 31, 2016, compared to March 31, 2015, primarily due to the Focus loan portfolio, which was marked to fair market value on the acquisition date, and an increase in the Company’s legacy loan balances with no default histories, coupled with the decrease in the Company’s legacy nonperforming assets, improving the quality of the loan portfolio overall.

 

·                  Total deposits increased $605.1 million, or 43%, to $2.03 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.42 billion at March 31, 2015, which included an increase of $244.9 million, or 17%, in the Company’s legacy deposit portfolio, and $360.2 million from the Focus deposit portfolio.  Total deposits decreased $34.0 million, or 2%, at March 31, 2016, compared to $2.06 billion at December 31, 2015, primarily due to decreases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and brokered deposits.

 

·                  The Company’s consolidated capital ratios exceeded regulatory guidelines and the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the regulatory guidelines for a well-capitalized financial institution under the Basel III regulatory requirements at March 31, 2016.

Operating Results

 

Net interest income increased 32% to $22.3 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $16.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to loans acquired in the Focus acquisition, organic growth in the loan portfolio, the accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction, and an increase in the average balance of investment securities. Net interest income increased 1% from $22.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

The net interest margin (FTE) was 4.22% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 4.58% for the first quarter of 2015, and 4.13% for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The decline in the net interest margin from the first quarter of 2015 was primarily due to higher average balances of lower yielding excess funds at the Federal Reserve Bank and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and lower yields on securities, partially offset by accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction for the first quarter of 2016. The increase in the net interest margin from the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily due to re-deploying excess liquidity into higher yielding loans and securities.  The accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction was $518,000 for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The total purchase discount on non-impaired loans from the Focus loan portfolio was $4.6 million as of the acquisition date, of which $1.9 million has been accreted into loan interest income from August 21, 2015 through March 31, 2016.

 

There was a $401,000 provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2016, compared to a $60,000 credit provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2015, and a $371,000 provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

Noninterest income increased to $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, primarily due to an $180,000 gain on sales of securities, a higher gain on sales of SBA loans, and higher service charges and fees on deposit accounts in the first quarter of 2016.  Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2016 decreased from $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to a $642,000 gain on the sales of securities in the fourth quarter of 2015, partially offset by a higher gain on sales of SBA loans in the first quarter of 2016.

 

Total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2016 was $14.7 million, compared to $12.3 million for the first quarter of 2015, and $17.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The increase in noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2016, compared to the first quarter of 2015, was primarily due to additional employees and increase in amortization of the core deposit intangible assets from the Focus acquisition in the first quarter of 2016, and the significant reduction of legal expenses on two problem loans that were paid off in the first quarter of 2015.  The decrease in noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2016, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, was primarily due to costs related to the acquisition and integration of Focus of $3.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2015.  Full time equivalent employees were 260 at March 31, 2016; there were 251 at March 31, 2015, and 260 at December 31, 2015.

The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2016 improved to 58.93%, compared to 65.35% for the first quarter of 2015, and 69.54% for the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting operating efficiencies generated from our acquisitions and the strong revenue growth during the year.

 

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2016 was $3.7 million, compared to $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2015, and $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 was 37.9%, compared to 37.0% for the first quarter of 2015 and 38.9% for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The increase in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016, compared to the first quarter of 2015, was primarily due to an increase in taxable income with a limited amount of tax deductions.  The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, was primarily due to certain Focus acquisition costs incurred during the fourth quarter of 2015 that were not tax deductible.  The difference in the effective tax rate for the periods reported, compared to the combined Federal and state statutory tax rate of 42%, is primarily the result of the Company’s investment in life insurance policies whose earnings are not subject to taxes, tax credits related to investments in low income housing limited partnerships (net of low income housing investment losses), and tax-exempt interest income earned on municipal bonds.

 

Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality

 

Total assets were $2.33 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.65 billion at March 31, 2015, and $2.36 billion at December 31, 2015.

 

The investment securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $448.5 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $200.8 million at March 31, 2015, and $385.1 million at December 31, 2015.  At March 31, 2016, the Company’s securities available-for-sale portfolio was comprised of $392.8 million agency mortgage-backed securities (all issued by U.S. Government sponsored entities), $30.3 million of U.S. Treasuries, $15.2 million of single entity issue trust preferred securities, $9.2 million of U.S. Government agency securities, and $1.0 million of corporate bonds. The pre-tax unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale at March 31, 2016 was $5.2 million, compared to a pre-tax unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $5.7 million at March 31, 2015, and a pre-tax unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $501,000 at December 31, 2015.

 

The Company received gross proceeds of $5.6 million on corporate securities available-for-sale it sold during the first quarter of 2016 with a book value totaling $5.4 million, resulting in a gain on sale of securities of $180,000.  During the first quarter of 2016, the Company purchased $75.8 million of investment securities available-for-sale, which consisted of $51.8 million of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) securities, with an average book yield of 1.96%, and $24.0 million of Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) securities, with an average book yield of 1.95%.

 

At March 31, 2016, investment securities held-to-maturity totaled $185.2 million, compared to $94.6 million at March 31, 2015, and $109.3 million at December 31, 2015.  At March 31, 2016, the Company’s securities held-to-maturity portfolio, at amortized cost, was comprised of $92.6 million tax-exempt municipal bonds, and $92.6 million agency mortgage-backed securities.

 

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company purchased $78.7 million of Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) securities held-to-maturity, with an average book yield of 1.85%.

 

Loans (excluding loans-held-for-sale) increased $293.3 million, or 27%, to $1.40 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.10 billion at March 31, 2015, which included an increase of $162.2 million, or 15%, in the Company’s legacy loan portfolio, and $131.1 million from the Focus loan portfolio.  Loans increased $36.5 million, or 3%, at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.36 billion at December 31, 2015.

The loan portfolio remains well-diversified with commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans accounting for 42% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2016, which included $41.9 million of factored receivables at Bay View Funding. Commercial and residential real estate loans accounted for 44% of the total loan portfolio, of which 42% were owner-occupied by businesses.  Consumer and home equity loans accounted for 7% of total loans, and land and construction loans accounted for the remaining 7% of total loans at March 31, 2016.  C&I line usage was 44% at March 31, 2016, compared to 37% at March 31, 2015, and 39% at December 31, 2015.

 

The yield on the loan portfolio was 5.64% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 5.71% for the first quarter of 2015, and 5.92% for the fourth quarter of 2015.  The decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio for the first quarter of 2016, compared to first quarter of 2015, primarily reflects a decrease in the proportion of loans in the higher yielding Bay View Funding factored receivables portfolio relative to the addition of the Focus loans and growth in the Company’s legacy portfolio, partially offset by the accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction.  The decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio for the first quarter of 2016, compared to fourth quarter of 2015, primarily reflects a lower accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the Focus transaction.  Excluding the accretion of the loan purchase discount and the Bay View Funding factored receivables portfolio, the yield on the loan portfolio was 4.78% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 4.73% for the first quarter of 2015, and 4.79% for the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

At March 31, 2016, NPAs decreased to $4.6 million, or 0.20% of total assets, compared to $8.4 million, or 0.51% of total assets, at March 31, 2015, and $6.7 million, or 0.29% of total assets, at December 31, 2015.  At March 31, 2016, the NPAs included no loans guaranteed by the SBA.  Foreclosed assets were $386,000 at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.7 million at March 31, 2015, and $364,000 at December 31, 2015.  The following is a breakout of NPAs at the periods indicated:

The ALLL at March 31, 2016 was 1.39% of total loans, compared to 1.68% at March 31, 2015, and 1.39% at December 31, 2015.  The allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased at March 31, 2016, compared to March 31, 2015, primarily due to the Focus loan portfolio, which was marked to fair market value on the acquisition date, and an increase in the Company’s legacy loan balances with no default histories, coupled with the decrease in the Company’s legacy nonperforming assets, improving the quality of the loan portfolio overall.  The ALLL to total nonperforming loans was 465.06% at March 31, 2016, compared to 275.57% at March 31, 2015, and 296.74% at December 31, 2015.

 

Total deposits increased $605.1 million, or 43%, to $2.03 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $1.42 billion at March 31, 2015, which included an increase of $244.9 million, or 17%, in the Company’s legacy deposit portfolio, and $360.2 million from the Focus deposit portfolio.  Total deposits decreased $34.0 million, or 2%, at March 31, 2016, compared to $2.06 billion at December 31, 2015, primarily due to decreases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and brokered deposits.

 

The total cost of deposits remained the same for the first quarter of 2016 at 0.15%, compared to the first quarter of 2015, and increased one basis point from 0.14% for the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

Tangible equity was $197.9 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $170.6 million at March 31, 2015 and $191.3 million at December 31, 2015.  The increase in tangible equity at March 31, 2016 from March 31, 2015 was primarily due to the shares issued to the Focus shareholders in connection with the Focus acquisition and an increase in the Company’s retained earnings.  Tangible book value per common share was $5.54 at March 31, 2016, compared to $5.70 at March 31, 2015, and $5.35 at December 31, 2015.  There were 21,004 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding at March 31, 2016, March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2015, and the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of 5.6 million shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.75, upon a transfer of the Series C Preferred Stock in a widely dispersed offering.  Pro forma tangible book value per common share, assuming the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock was converted into common stock, was $5.24 at March 31, 2016, compared to $5.31 at March 31, 2015, and $5.07 at December 31, 2015.  The decrease in tangible book value per common share and the pro forma tangible book value per common share, assuming the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock was converted to common stock, at March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015 was primarily due to an additional 5,456,713 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Focus shareholders.

 

The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have applied or intend to apply to the Federal Reserve for approval to exchange the 21,004 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for 5.6 million shares of common stock (the as converted equivalent). The Company has indicated to the holders that if such approval is obtained the Company would agree to enter into an exchange agreement to effect the exchange. One of the holders has received approval from the Federal Reserve.  There is no assurance the other holder will obtain approval from the Federal Reserve.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss was ($3.5) million at March 31, 2016, compared to ($1.3) million at March 31, 2015, and ($6.2) million at December 31, 2015. The unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale, net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was an unrealized gain of $3.0 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $3.3 million at March 31, 2015, and $296,000 at December 31, 2015.  The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, at March 31, 2016 include the following: an unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities of $3.0 million; the remaining unamortized unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale transferred to held-to-maturity of $394,000; a split dollar insurance contracts liability of ($3.6) million; a supplemental executive retirement plan liability of ($4.1) million; and an unrealized gain on interest-only strip from SBA loans of $795,000.
