Porter Bancorp Reports 3rd Quarter 2017 Net Income of $1.7 million or $0.29 per Diluted Share

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 25, 2017--Porter Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIB) (“the Company”), parent company of PBI Bank, today reported unaudited results for the third quarter of 2017. Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2017 was $1.7 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted common share, compared with $1.3 million, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016. Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was $5.1 million, or $0.83 per diluted common share, compared with net income available to common shareholders of $3.8 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The $5.1 million in net income for the first nine months of 2017 compares favorably to net income of $3.8 million for the 2016 period. Core earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, outperformed the same period in 2016. The first nine months of 2016 benefitted from $1.9 million in negative loan loss provisioning, $451,000 of other real estate owned income, and $187,000 in gains on securities sales and calls.

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance – The Company has a net deferred tax asset of $51.9 million subject to a full valuation allowance at September 30, 2017. Our ability to utilize deferred tax assets depends upon generating sufficient future levels of taxable income. The determination to restore a deferred tax asset and eliminate a valuation allowance depends upon the evaluation of both positive and negative evidence regarding the likelihood of achieving sufficient future taxable income levels. A key element of the evaluation is the achievement of pre-tax net income rather than pre-tax net loss on a cumulative basis for the trailing three-year period. At September 30, 2017, our trailing three-year cumulative pre-tax net loss has declined to $762,000. We continue to monitor and evaluate the positive and negative evidence and will reverse the valuation allowance when we determine it is more-likely-than-not the asset will be utilized to reduce future taxes payable related to the future taxable income of the Company.

Net Interest Income – Net interest income before provision expense increased to $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared with $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2016. Average loans increased to $669.6 million for the 2017 quarter, compared with $626.1 million in the 2016 quarter. Net interest margin decreased to 3.44% in the 2017 quarter, compared with 3.47% in the 2016 quarter.

Our yield on earning assets increased to 4.16% in the third quarter of 2017, compared to 4.15% in the third quarter of 2016. Our cost of interest bearing liabilities was 0.85% in the 2017 quarter, compared to 0.78% in the 2016 quarter.

Loan Loss Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses – There was no provision for loan losses during the first nine months of 2017. Ongoing improvements in asset quality and management’s assessment of risk in the loan portfolio led to negative provisions for loan losses of $750,000 for the third quarter of 2016 and $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2016.

The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.32% at September 30, 2017, compared to 1.53% at September 30, 2016. The reduced level of the allowance in 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily driven by declining charge-off levels, growth in the portfolio, and improving trends in credit quality. Net loan recoveries were $10,000 for the first nine months of 2017, compared to net loan charge-offs of $652,000 for the first nine months of 2016. The allowance for loan losses for loans evaluated collectively for impairment was 1.27% at September 30, 2017, and 1.51% at September 30, 2016.

Non-performing Assets – Non-performing assets, which include loans past due 90 days and still accruing, nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”), decreased to $12.1 million, or 1.26% of total assets at September 30, 2017, compared with $12.8 million, or 1.34% of total assets at June 30, 2017, and $17.2 million, or 1.88% of total assets at September 30, 2016.

Non-performing loans decreased to $5.8 million, or 0.85% of total loans at September 30, 2017, compared with $6.5 million, or 0.99% of total loans at June 30, 2017, and $10.1 million, or 1.62% of total loans at September 30, 2016. The decrease from the previous quarter was primarily driven by $1.1 million in principal payments received on nonaccrual loans. OREO at September 30, 2017, remained unchanged at $6.3 million, compared with June 30, 2017, and decreased from $7.1 million at September 30, 2016. The Company acquired $130,000 in OREO and sold $30,000 in OREO during the third quarter of 2017. There were $98,000 in fair value write-downs arising from lower marketing prices or new appraisals in the first nine months of 2017, compared with $970,000 in the first nine months of 2016.

The following table details past due loans and non-performing assets as of the dates shown.

In addition to nonaccrual loans and OREO, loans classified as Troubled Debt Restructures (TDRs) and on accrual totaled $1.2 million at both September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, compared to $6.1 million at September 30, 2016.

Non-interest Income – Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2017 increased $77,000 to $1.2 million compared with $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2016. The increase from the third quarter of 2016 was primarily due to a $48,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts as well as an increase in bank card interchange fees of $31,000.

Non-interest Expense – Non-interest expense decreased $745,000 to $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared with $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2016. The decrease from the 2016 quarter was primarily due to a reduction in salaries and employee benefits of approximately $262,000, a reduction of OREO expense of $211,000, and a reduction of litigation and loan collection expenses of $144,000.

Non-interest expense decreased $2.6 million to $21.3 million for the first nine months of 2017, compared with $23.9 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease from the first nine months of 2016 was primarily due to reductions in OREO expense of $1.2 million, professional fees of $475,000, litigation and loan collection expenses of $454,000, and FDIC insurance expense of $403,000.

Capital – At September 30, 2017, PBI Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 7.73%, compared with 7.54% at June 30, 2017, and its Total risk-based capital ratio was 11.10% at September 30, 2017, compared with 11.50% at June 30, 2017.

At September 30, 2017, Porter Bancorp’s leverage ratio was 5.85%, compared with 5.65% at June 30, 2017, and its Total risk-based capital ratio was 10.05%, compared with 10.44% at June 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, PBI Bank’s Common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 9.66%, and Porter Bancorp’s Common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 5.49%.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities – The Company has a net deferred tax asset of $51.9 million at September 30, 2017, which is currently subject to a 100% valuation allowance. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown below.

Our ability to utilize deferred tax assets depends upon generating sufficient future levels of taxable income. The determination to restore a deferred tax asset and eliminate a valuation allowance depends upon the evaluation of both positive and negative evidence regarding the likelihood of achieving sufficient future taxable income levels. We established a valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011, and the valuation allowance remains in effect as of September 30, 2017.

Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (“Section 382”), the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and other deferred tax assets can generally be used to offset future taxable income and therefore reduce federal income tax obligations. However, the Company's ability to use its NOLs would be limited if there was an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382. This would occur if shareholders owning (or deemed to own under the tax rules) 5% or more of the Company's voting and non-voting common shares increase their aggregate ownership of the Company by more than 50 percentage points over a defined period of time.

In 2015, the Company took two measures to preserve the value of its NOLs. First, we adopted a tax benefits preservation plan designed to reduce the likelihood of an “ownership change” occurring as a result of purchases and sales of the Company's common shares. Any shareholder or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the Company (an “acquiring person”) could be subject to significant dilution in its holdings if the Company's Board of Directors does not approve such acquisition. Existing shareholders holding 5% or more of the Company will not be considered acquiring persons unless they acquire additional shares, subject to certain exceptions described in the plan. In addition, the Board of Directors has the discretion to exempt certain transactions and certain persons whose acquisition of securities is determined by the Board not to jeopardize the Company's deferred tax assets. The rights will expire upon the earlier of (i) June 29, 2018, (ii) the beginning of a taxable year with respect to which the Board of Directors determines that no tax benefits may be carried forward, (iii) the repeal or amendment of Section 382 or any successor statute, if the Board of Directors determines that the plan is no longer needed to preserve the tax benefits, and (iv) certain other events as described in the plan.

On September 23, 2015, our shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to further help protect the long-term value of the Company’s NOLs. The amendment provides a means to block transfers of our common shares that could result in an ownership change under Section 382. The transfer restrictions will expire on the earlier of (i) September 23, 2018, (ii) the beginning of a taxable year with respect to which the Board of Directors determines that no tax benefit may be carried forward, (iii) the repeal of Section 382 or any successor statute if our Board determines that the transfer restrictions are no longer needed to preserve the tax benefits of our NOLs, or (iv) such date as the Board otherwise determines that the transfer restrictions are no longer necessary.

Porter Bancorp’s actual results in future periods may differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements due to various risks and uncertainties, including our ability to reduce our level of higher risk loans such as commercial real estate and real estate development loans, reduce our level of non-performing loans and other real estate owned, and increase net interest income in a low interest rate environment, as well as our need to increase capital. These and other risks and uncertainties are described in greater detail under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K and subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible book value per common share by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common stockholders’ equity. We calculate tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing common stockholders’ equity by common shares outstanding. We believe this is consistent with bank regulatory agency treatment, which excludes tangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to revenue from net interest income and fee income. We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total non-interest expenses as determined under GAAP by net interest income and total non-interest income, but excluding net gains on the sale of securities from the calculation. We believe this provides a reasonable measure of primary banking expenses relative to primary banking revenue.
