SANDY SPRING BANCORP REPORTS NET INCOME OF $9.9 MILLION FOR

FOURTH QUARTER OF 2012 AND $36.6 MILLION FOR FULL YEAR

 

OLNEY, MARYLAND, January 24, 2013 — Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc., (Nasdaq-SASR) the parent company of Sandy Spring Bank, today announced net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 of $9.9 million ($.40 per diluted share) compared to net income of $7.3 million ($0.30 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2011 and net income of $11.0 million ($0.44 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2012.

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $36.6 million ($1.48 per diluted share), compared to net income of $34.1 million ($1.41 per diluted share) for the prior year, an increase of 7%.

 

“The solid results for the fourth quarter and the full year were a result of the combination of increased loan growth and continued improvement to our funding mix, “said Daniel J. Schrider, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Looking back on 2012, we benefited from two full quarters of the accretive effect on the net interest margin from the CommerceFirst acquisition combined with a stellar year in income from our mortgage banking activities.”

 

“We are committed to providing outstanding value to our clients via quality financial products delivered through a consistently high level of service that they have come to expect,” said Schrider. “Together with our strong capital and liquidity positions and improved credit quality, we believe we are well positioned for continued growth during the coming year.”

 

Fourth Quarter Highlights:

 

·Pre-tax pre-provision income, a non-GAAP measure, was $15.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, a 26% increase over the fourth quarter of 2011 and a 7% decrease compared to the third quarter of 2012.

 

·The net interest margin was 3.53% for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to 3.51% for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 3.67% for the third quarter of 2012. The decrease compared to the prior quarter was due primarily to the accrual status of specific commercial loans together with declining yields in the residential construction and mortgage portfolios.

 

·Non-interest income increased 8% for the quarter compared to the prior year quarter and remained virtually level compared to the third quarter of 2012. The increase over the prior year quarter was due primarily to higher income from mortgage banking activities.

 

 
 

 

·Non-performing loans totaled $57.9 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $79.1 million at December 31, 2011 and $58.9 million at September 30, 2012. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to non-performing loans increased to 74% at December 31, 2012 compared to a ratio of 62% at December 31, 2011 and 72% at September 30, 2012.

 

·Total loans, excluding those acquired in the CommerceFirst acquisition, reflected a 6% increase over the prior year quarter due primarily to growth in commercial business, investor real estate and residential mortgage loans.

 

 

Review of Balance Sheet and Credit Quality

 

Total assets increased 7% to $4.0 billion at December 31, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011. During the same period, total loans and leases increased 13% to $2.5 billion compared to the prior year end. This increase consisted of $155.0 million in loans from the acquisition of CommerceFirst and $136.4 million of internally-generated loan growth, primarily in the commercial loan and residential mortgage portfolios.

 

Customer funding sources, which include deposits and other short-term borrowings from customers, increased 9% compared to December 31, 2011. This increase was due primarily to a 25% increase in noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts. The Company considers the growth in checking accounts to be an especially valuable metric as such accounts typically are the primary drivers of growth in multiple product banking relationships with clients. Excluding the deposits acquired in the CommerceFirst acquisition, total customer funding sources increased 5% while certificates of deposit declined 17% at December 31, 2012 compared to balances at December 31, 2011, as the Company managed its deposit mix to maintain the net interest margin.

 

Tangible common equity totaled $384.2 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $351.3 million at December 31, 2011 resulting in an increase in the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets from 9.68% at December 31, 2011 to 9.94% at December 31, 2012. This increase was due primarily to net income earned during 2012. At December 31, 2012, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.40%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.15% and a tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.98%.

 

Non-performing loans totaled $57.9 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $79.1 million at December 31, 2011 and $58.9 million at September 30, 2012. Overall credit quality continued to improve as a result of resolution of existing problem credits and limited migration of new credits to non-performing status.

 

The provision for loan and lease losses was $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in the provision for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 was due primarily to a decline in both historical losses and the impact of non-performing loans at December 31, 2012. The increase in the provision for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2012 was largely due to an increase in the overall size of the loan portfolio together with an increase in specific reserves on selected loans.

 

 
 

  

Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, totaled $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to net charge-offs of $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and net charge-offs of $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.70% of outstanding loans and leases and 74% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2012 compared to 2.21% of outstanding loans and leases and 62% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2011 and 1.73% of outstanding loans and leases and 72% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2012. Non-performing loans includes accruing loans 90 days or more past due and restructured loans.

 

Income Statement Review

 

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased by $2.5 million or 9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 due to an increase in average interest-earning assets from the CommerceFirst transaction and organic growth. Combined with a lower cost deposit mix, these factors resulted in an increase in the net interest margin to 3.53% for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to 3.51% for the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Non-interest income increased $0.8 million or 8% to $12.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $11.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. This increase was driven by growth in income from mortgage banking activities of $0.9 million due to higher loan origination volumes and higher average gains on sales, both due to historically low interest rates during the quarter.

 

Non-interest expenses remained virtually level at $27.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $27.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. This was driven by decreases in benefits expenses, commissions on sales of investment products and incentive compensation which largely offset a 5% increase in salaries. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio improved to 60.5% for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to 65.1% for the fourth quarter of 2011.

 

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased by $8.3 million or 7% compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 due to an increase in average earning assets resulting from organic loan growth, loans acquired in the CommerceFirst acquisition and an increased level of noninterest-bearing deposits, which more than offset lower earning asset yields. These factors, together with a decline in the cost of funds, resulted in an increase in the net interest margin to 3.60% for 2012 compared to 3.57% for 2011.

 

Non-interest income increased $3.5 million or 8% to $47.0 million for 2012 as compared to $43.5 million for 2011. This increase was due primarily to an increase of $2.8 million or 87% in income from mortgage banking activities due to higher volumes and increased average gains from refinancing activity. Revenue from wealth management services increased $0.3 million or 2% due primarily to higher assets under management while Visa check fees increased $0.3 million or 7% due to an increased volume of electronic transactions.

 

Non-interest expenses were $109.9 million for 2012 compared to $105.1 million for 2011, an increase of $4.8 million or 5%. Excluding one-time merger expenses of $2.5 million in 2012, non-interest expenses increased 2% over the prior year. This increase was driven by a 4% increase in salaries and benefits expense, excluding merger expenses, due to merit salary increases, a larger staff and higher cost of health benefits. These expenses were partially offset by a 19% decrease in FDIC insurance premiums due to a change in calculation of such premiums effective in the third quarter of 2011. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 60.9% for 2012 compared to 63.8% for 2011.

(1)The GAAP efficiency ratio is non-interest expenses divided by net interest income plus non-interest income from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The traditional, non-GAAP efficiency ratio excludes intangible asset amortization and merger expenses from non-interest expense; excludes securities gains; OTTI losses from non-interest income; and adds the tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income. See the Reconciliation Table included with these Financial Highlights.
