CVB Financial Corp. Reports First Quarter Earnings for 2015

 

    Net earnings were $15.8 million for the first quarter of 2015, or $0.15 per diluted share. Earnings were impacted by the Bank’s decision to prepay a $200.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank advance, recognizing a one-time pre-tax debt termination expense of $13.9 million.

 

    Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $260.6 million for the quarter, or 9.09%, and totaled $3.13 billion, or 53.02% of total deposits.

 

    Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discount, decreased by $101.0 million for the quarter, or 2.65%. Dairy borrowings declined by $106.6 million for the quarter, mostly due to seasonal repayments.

 

    The allowance for loan losses was $60.7 million at quarter-end, or 1.63% of total loans.

Ontario, CA, April 22, 2015-CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (“the Company”), announced earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $15.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared with net income of $28.7 million for the first quarter of 2014. Diluted earnings per share were $0.15 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to $0.27 for the same period last year. The first quarter of 2015 included pre-tax debt termination expense of $13.9 million, related to the redemption of $200.0 million of fixed rate debt from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). The FHLB advance carried an interest rate of 4.52% and was scheduled to mature in late November 2016.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $60.7 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $59.8 million at December 31, 2014. There was no provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2015, compared to a loan loss provision recapture of $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2014.

Chris Myers, President and CEO commented, “We are pleased with our financial results for the first quarter and the continued improvement of our credit quality. The decision to prepay the remaining $200.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank debt was made to further reduce our overall funding costs. Our deleveraging program is now complete as we have repaid all FHLB debt. Organic loan growth remains challenging due to the low interest rate environment and related loan prepayment pressure but should be strengthened by our acquisition of banking teams in San Diego, Los Angeles and Oxnard.”

Net income for the first quarter of 2015 produced a return on beginning equity of 7.31%, a return on average equity of 7.22%, and a return on average assets of 0.86%. The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2015 was 64.43%, compared to 45.52% for 2014. Excluding the impact of the debt termination expense, the efficiency ratio was 44.34% and noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets was 1.67%.

Total interest income and fees on loans for the first quarter of 2015 of $45.5 million increased $886,000, or 1.98%, from 2014. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a $797,000 increase in prepayment penalty fees.

Noninterest income was $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2015, compared with $9.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and $11.5 million for the first quarter of 2014. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in gain on sale of OREO assets and loans. The $11.5 million in noninterest income for the first quarter of 2014 included $5.3 million in gains on sale of loans.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2015 was $44.5 million, compared with $31.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and $31.2 million for the first quarter of 2014. The increase was due to $13.9 million in debt termination expense resulting from the repayment of a $200.0 million FHLB fixed rate advance. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense, excluding the impact of the debt termination expense, was 1.67% compared to 1.67% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 1.87% for the first quarter of 2014.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, totaled $61.0 million for the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $166,000 from $61.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and an increase of $4.1 million from $56.9 million for the first quarter of 2014. Our net interest margin, tax equivalent (TE), was 3.59% for the first quarter 2015, compared to 3.58% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 3.72% for the first quarter of 2014. Total average earning asset yields (TE) were 3.77% for the first quarter of 2015, compared to 3.81% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 3.98% for the first quarter of 2014. Total cost of funds was 0.20% for the first quarter of 2015, compared to 0.25% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 0.28% for the first quarter of 2014.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was 35.50%, compared with 36.00% for 2014. Our estimated annual effective tax rate varies depending upon tax-advantaged income as well as available tax credits.

Assets

The Company reported total assets of $7.44 billion at March 31, 2015. This represents an increase of $65.0 million, or 0.88%, from total assets of $7.38 billion at December 31, 2014. Earning assets of $7.09 billion at March 31, 2015 increased $67.1 million, or 0.96%, when compared with $7.02 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase in earning assets was primarily due to a $278.3 million increase in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve. This was partially offset by a $108.9 million decrease in investment securities and a $101.0 million decrease in total loans. Approximately $106.6 million of the decrease in loans was due to the decline in dairy & livestock loans, most of which was seasonal.

Total assets of $7.44 billion at March 31, 2015 increased $540.4 million, or 7.83%, from total assets of $6.90 billion at March 31, 2014. Earning assets totaled $7.09 billion at March 31, 2015, an increase of $538.5 million, or 8.22%, when compared with earning assets of $6.55 billion at March 31, 2014. The increase in earning assets was primarily due to a $278.0 million increase in investment securities and a $313.2 million increase in total loans. This was partially offset by a $44.1 million decrease in interest-earning deposits with other institutions and an $8.2 million decrease in balances due from the Federal Reserve.

Investment Securities

Investment securities were $3.03 billion at March 31, 2015, a decrease of $108.9 million from $3.14 billion at December 31, 2014 and an increase of $278.0 million from $2.75 billion at March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, we had a pre-tax unrealized gain of $73.8 million on our overall securities portfolio.

Investment in mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) totaled $2.14 billion at March 31, 2015, compared to $2.22 billion at December 31, 2014 and $1.87 billion at March 31, 2014. Virtually all of our MBS are issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which have the implied guarantee of the U.S. Government. We have one private-label mortgage-backed security that has impairment. This Alt-A bond, with a carrying value of $1.5 million as of March 31, 2015, has had $1.9 million in net other-than-temporary (“OTTI”) impairment loss to date since it was purchased in early 2008. No additional OTTI impairment was recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Our municipal securities, totaling $549.8 million, are located in 28 states, and approximately $24.6 million, or 4.48%, are located within the state of California.

In the first quarter of 2015, we purchased $4.3 million of municipal securities with an average tax-equivalent yield of approximately 3.89%.

Loans

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discount, of $3.72 billion at March 31, 2015 decreased by $101.0 million, or 2.65%, from $3.82 billion at December 31, 2014. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in loans was due to a decline of approximately $106.6 million in dairy & livestock loans, a $3.7 million decline in agribusiness loans and a $7.9 million decrease in SBA loans. This was partially offset by growth of $13.0 million in commercial and industrial loans and $4.5 million in commercial real estate loans.

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discount, of $3.72 billion at March 31, 2015, increased by $313.2 million, or 9.20%, from $3.40 billion at March 31, 2014.

Deposits & Customer Repurchase Agreements

Deposits of $5.90 billion and customer repurchase agreements of $560.4 million totaled $6.46 billion at March 31, 2015. This represents an increase of $289.8 million, or 4.70%, when compared with total deposits and customer repurchase agreements of $6.17 billion at December 31, 2014. Deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased by $720.5 million, or 12.56%, when compared with $5.74 million in total deposits and customer repurchase agreements reported at March 31, 2014.

FHLB Advance, Other Borrowings and Debentures

On February 23, 2015 we repaid our last remaining FHLB advance with a fixed rate of 4.52%. At December 31 2014, FHLB advances were $199.5 million, compared to $199.3 million at March 31, 2014.

At March 31, 2015, we had no short-term borrowings, compared to $46.0 million at December 31, 2014 and zero at March 31, 2014.

At March 31, 2015, we had $25.8 million of junior subordinated debentures, unchanged from December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

Asset Quality

Purchase Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans are those loans that we acquired in the San Joaquin Bank (“SJB”) acquisition for which we were “covered” for reimbursement for a substantial portion of any future losses under the terms of the FDIC loss sharing agreement. The FDIC indemnification loss coverage period for commercial loans associated with the SJB acquisition expired October 16, 2014. PCI loans are included in total loans.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $60.7 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $59.8 million at December 31, 2014 and $68.7 million at March 31, 2014. The quarter-over-quarter increase in the allowance for loan losses was due to $884,000 in net loan recoveries. The allowance for loan losses was 1.63%, 1.57%, 1.67%, 1.75%, and 2.11% of total loans and leases outstanding, at March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, and March 31, 2014, respectively.

Nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans and nonperforming troubled debt restructured loans (“TDR”), were $23.0 million at March 31, 2015, or 0.62% of total loans. This compares to nonperforming loans of $32.2 million, or 0.84% of total loans, at December 31, 2014 and $40.2 million, or 1.23% of total loans, at March 31, 2014. The $23.0 million in nonperforming loans at March 31, 2015 are summarized as follows: $16.8 million in commercial real estate loans, $2.5 million in SBA loans, $2.2 million in SFR mortgage loans, $952,000 in commercial and industrial loans, $103,000 in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, and $463,000 in other loans. The $9.2 million decrease in nonperforming loans quarter-over-quarter was principally due to a $6.5 million decrease in nonperforming commercial real estate loans, a $1.4 million decrease in nonperforming commercial and industrial loans, and a $1.0 million decrease in nonperforming SFR mortgage loans.

We had $7.1 million in OREO at March 31, 2015, compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2014 and $6.5 million at March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, we had six OREO properties, compared with four OREO properties at December 31, 2014 and two OREO properties at March 31, 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, we added three OREO properties with a carrying value of $2.8 million and sold one OREO property with a carrying value of $1.3 million, realizing a net gain on sale of $112,000.

At March 31, 2015, we had loans delinquent 30 to 89 days of $1.9 million. This compares to $1.7 million at December 31, 2014 and $960,000 at March 31, 2014. As a percentage of total loans, delinquencies, excluding nonaccruals, were 0.05% at March 31, 2015, 0.04% at December 31, 2014 and 0.03% at March 31, 2014.

At March 31, 2015, we had $45.4 million in performing TDR loans, compared to $53.6 million in performing TDR loans at December 31, 2014 and $66.4 million in performing TDR loans at March 31, 2014. In terms of the number of loans, we had 34 performing TDR loans at March 31, 2015, compared to 38 performing TDR loans at December 31, 2014 and 44 performing TDR loans at March 31, 2014.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Reconciliations (Non-GAAP)

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 include a yield adjustment of $980,000 and $1.7 million, respectively. These yield adjustments relate to discount accretion on PCI loans, and are reflected in the Company’s net interest margin. We believe that presenting net interest income and the net interest margin excluding these yield adjustments provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core net interest income and net interest margin.

Noninterest Expense and Efficiency Ratio Reconciliation (Non-GAAP)

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, includes debt termination expense of $13.9 million. We believe that presenting the efficiency ratio, and the ratio of noninterest expense to average assets, excluding the impact of debt termination expense, provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core financial performance. The Company did not incur debt termination expense during the quarter ended ended March 31, 2014.
