Union Bankshares Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company” or “Union”) (NASDAQ:UBSH) today reported net income of $20.8 million and earnings per share of $0.48 for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016.  The quarterly results represent an increase of $3.0 million, or 16.6%, in net income and an increase of $0.08, or 20.0%, in earnings per share from the fourth quarter of 2015.  For the year ended December 31, 2016, net income was $77.5 million and earnings per share was $1.77, an increase of $10.4 million, or 15.5%, and $0.28, or 18.8%, respectively, compared to the results for the year ended December 31, 2015.

2016 was a year of growth and change for Union,” said John C. Asbury, president and chief executive officer for Union Bankshares Corporation.  “With double digit gains in net income, earnings per share and loans for the year, the company showed impressive growth in 2016 and demonstrated the earnings power of the bank.  Union made meaningful progress on its goal of achieving top tier financial performance by posting solid gains in our return on assets and return on tangible common equity profitability ratios from the prior year.   Improving efficiency, along with diversifying the loan portfolio, growing core deposits to fund loan growth, and finalizing the work already underway to cross the $10 billion threshold will be focus areas for Union in 2017.

I also want to personally thank Billy Beale for his service and dedication to Union over the past 25 years and for the remarkably smooth leadership transition.  The company is well positioned to continue to deliver long term shareholder value thanks to Billy's leadership and we look forward to his continuing contributions to the Company as a board member and an advisor going forward.

Select highlights for the fourth quarter and full year of 2016 include:

  • Net income for the community bank segment was $20.4 million, or $0.47 per share, for the fourth quarter, compared to $17.9 million, or $0.40 per share, for the same quarter in 2015.  Net income for the community bank segment for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $75.7 million, or $1.73 per share, compared to net income of $67.3 million, or $1.49 per share for the year ended December 31, 2015.
  • The mortgage segment reported net income of $382,000, or $0.01 per share, for the fourth quarter, compared to a net loss of $90,000 in the fourth quarter 2015.  Net income for the mortgage segment for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $1.8 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $202,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
  • Return on Average Assets (“ROA”) was 0.99% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to ROA of 1.00% for the prior quarter and 0.93% for the fourth quarter of 2015.  Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (“ROTCE”) was 12.05% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to ROTCE of 12.00% for the prior quarter and 10.38% for the fourth quarter of 2015. 
  • Loans held for investment grew $158.1 million, or 10.3% (annualized), from September 30, 2016 and increased $635.6 million, or 11.2%, from December 31, 2015.  Average loans increased $180.4 million, or 12.0% (annualized), from the prior quarter and increased $601.7 million, or 10.7%, from the same quarter in the prior year.
  • Period-end deposits increased $121.0 million, or 7.7% (annualized), from September 30, 2016 and grew $415.6 million, or 7.0%, from December 31, 2015.  Average deposits increased $105.1 million, or 6.8% (annualized), from the prior quarter and increased $404.6 million, or 6.9%, from the same quarter in the prior year.
  • During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company issued $150.0 million of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated debt with a maturity date of December 15, 2026. The notes were sold at par resulting in net proceeds, after discounts and offering expenses, of approximately $148.0 million.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Tax-equivalent net interest income was $71.5 million, an increase of $2.0 million from the third quarter, driven by both higher earning asset balances and higher yields on earning assets.  The fourth quarter tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 2 basis points to 3.78% from 3.76% in the previous quarter.  Core tax-equivalent net interest margin (which excludes the 8 and 9 basis point impact of acquisition accounting accretion in the current and prior quarter, respectively) increased by 3 basis points to 3.70% from 3.67% in the previous quarter.  The increase in the core tax-equivalent net interest margin was principally due to the 5 basis point increase in interest-earning asset yields offset by the 2 basis point increase in cost of funds.  The increase in interest-earnings asset yields was primarily driven by higher loan yields in the current quarter.

The Company’s tax-equivalent net interest margin includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments.  During the fourth quarter, net accretion related to acquisition accounting increased $90,000, or 5.9%, from the prior quarter to $1.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 due to higher than expected acquired loan balance paydowns.  The third quarter, fourth quarter, and full year of 2016 and remaining estimated net accretion impact are reflected in the following table (dollars in thousands):

ASSET QUALITY/LOAN LOSS PROVISION

Overview
During the fourth quarter, the Company experienced declines in nonperforming asset balances as well as in net charge-off levels from the prior quarter and the prior year.  Past due loans levels were consistent with the prior quarter and down from the prior year.   The loan loss provision decreased from prior periods due to lower levels of net charge-offs and improving credit quality metrics, while the allowance for loan loss increased from prior periods due to loan growth.

All nonaccrual and past due loan metrics discussed below exclude purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans totaling $59.3 million (net of fair value mark of $14.3 million).

Nonperforming Assets (“NPAs”)
At December 31, 2016, NPAs totaled $20.1 million, a decrease of $7.2 million, or 26.4%, from December 31, 2015 and a decline of $3.2 million, or 13.8%, from September 30, 2016.  In addition, NPAs as a percentage of total outstanding loans declined 16 basis points from 0.48% a year earlier and decreased 6 basis points from 0.38% last quarter to 0.32% in the current quarter.  The following table shows a summary of asset quality balances at the quarter ended (dollars in thousands):

Past Due Loans
Past due loans still accruing interest totaled $27.9 million, or 0.44% of total loans, at December 31, 2016 compared to $42.9 million, or 0.76%, a year ago and $26.9 million, or 0.44%, at September 30, 2016.  At December 31, 2016, loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest totaled $3.0 million, or 0.05% of total loans, compared to $5.8 million, or 0.10%, a year ago and $3.5 million, or 0.06%, at September 30, 2016.

Net Charge-offs
For the fourth quarter, net charge-offs were $824,000, or 0.05% on an annualized basis, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.09%, for the same quarter last year and $929,000, or 0.06%, for the prior quarter.  For the year ended December 31, 2016, net charge-offs were $5.5 million, or 0.09%, compared to $7.6 million, or 0.13%, for the prior year.

Provision
The provision for loan losses for the current quarter was $1.5 million, a decrease of $536,000 compared to the same quarter a year ago and a decline of $923,000 compared to the previous quarter.  The decrease in provision for loan losses in the current quarter compared to the prior periods was primarily driven by lower net charge-off levels and improving credit quality metrics.  Additionally, a $250,000 provision was recognized during the current quarter for unfunded loan commitments, resulting in a total of $1.7 million in provision for credit losses for the quarter.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) increased $650,000 from September 30, 2016 to $37.2 million at December 31, 2016 primarily due to loan growth during the quarter.  The ALL as a percentage of the total loan portfolio was 0.59% at December 31, 2016, 0.59% at September 30, 2016, and 0.60% at December 31, 2015.  The ALL as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, adjusted for acquisition accounting (non-GAAP), was 0.86% at December 31, 2016, a decrease from 0.90% from the prior quarter and a decrease from 0.98% from the quarter ended December 31, 2015.  In acquisition accounting, there is no carryover of previously established allowance for loan losses, as acquired loans are recorded at fair value.

The nonaccrual loan coverage ratio was 372.9% at December 31, 2016, compared to 288.3% at September 30, 2016 and 285.3% at December 31, 2015.  The current level of the allowance for loan losses reflects specific reserves related to nonperforming loans, current risk ratings on loans, net charge-off activity, loan growth, delinquency trends, and other credit risk factors that the Company considers important in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income decreased $900,000, or 4.7%, to $18.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 from $19.0 million in the prior quarter, primarily driven by lower mortgage banking income of $578,000, lower insurance-related income of $151,000, declines in customer-related fee income of $116,000 primarily driven by lower letter of credit fees, and decreases in loan swap fees of $105,000.

Mortgage banking income decreased $578,000, or 18.0%, to $2.6 million in the fourth quarter compared to $3.2 million in the third quarter, related to decreased mortgage loan originations and fair value adjustments associated with the interest rate lock derivative.  The fair value of the interest rate lock derivative declined $516,000 in the current quarter, compared to an increase of $64,000 in the prior quarter, as a result of lower levels of locked mortgage balances at year-end.  Mortgage loan originations decreased by $11.3 million, or 7.2%, in the current quarter to $145.3 million from $156.7 million in the third quarter.  Of the mortgage loan originations in the current quarter, 49.2% were refinances compared with 33.8% in the prior quarter.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense decreased $646,000, or 1.1%, to $56.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 from $56.9 million in the prior quarter.  Salaries and benefits expenses declined by $451,000 primarily due to lower levels of incentive compensation expense.  Other declines in noninterest expense were driven by $400,000 in branch closure costs incurred in the prior quarter, lower loan-related expenses of $379,000 due to lower appraisal expenses, reduced levels of professional fees of $242,000, and lower amortization of intangible assets of $101,000.  These lower expenses were partially offset by approximately $900,000 in increased franchise tax expenses driven by a one-time tax credit recognized in the prior quarter related to the Company's investment in a historic rehabilitation project.

INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter was 27.5% compared to 23.3% in the third quarter.  The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a one-time tax credit recognized in the prior quarter related to the Company's investment in a historic rehabilitation project and proportionately higher levels of taxable income compared to tax-exempt income.  The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 25.7% compared to 25.8% in the prior year.

At December 31, 2016, total assets were $8.4 billion, an increase of $168.6 million from September 30, 2016 and an increase of $733.5 million from December 31, 2015.  The increase in assets was mostly related to loan growth.

Total deposits grew $415.6 million, or 7.0%, from December 31, 2015, while quarterly average deposits increased $404.6 million, or 6.9%, from the prior year.

At December 31, 2016, long-term borrowings were $413.3 million, an increase of $153.4 million from September 30, 2016, as a result of $150.0 million of fixed-to-floating subordinated debt issued in the fourth quarter.

At December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively, the Company had a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.72%, 9.78%, and 10.55%; a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.98%, 11.07%, and 11.93%; a total capital ratio of 13.59%, 11.60%, and 12.46%; and a leverage ratio of 9.87%, 9.89%, and 10.68%.

The Company’s common equity to asset ratios at December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015 were 11.88%, 12.12%, and 12.94%, respectively, while its tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.41%, 8.57%, and 9.20%, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.20 per common share, an increase of $0.01, or 5.3%, compared to prior quarter and the same quarter in the prior year.

(1) Net interest income (FTE), which is used in computing net interest margin (FTE) and efficiency ratio (FTE), provides valuable additional insight into the net interest margin and the efficiency ratio by adjusting for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources.
 
(2) The core metrics, FTE, exclude the impact of acquisition accounting accretion and amortization adjustments in net interest income.
 
(3) All ratios at December 31, 2016 are estimates and subject to change pending the Company’s filing of its FR Y9-C. All other periods are presented as filed.
 
(4) Tangible common equity is used in the calculation of certain capital and per share ratios.  The Company believes tangible common equity and the related ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy because they provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which the Company believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and its ability to absorb potential losses.
 
(5) The allowance for loan losses ratio, adjusted for acquisition accounting (non-GAAP), includes an adjustment for the fair value mark on purchased performing loans. The purchased performing loans are reported net of the related fair value mark in loans, net of deferred fees, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet; therefore, the fair value mark is added back to the balance to represent the total loan portfolio. The adjusted allowance for loan losses, including the fair value mark, represents the total reserve on the Company’s loan portfolio. The PCI loans, net of the respective fair value mark, are removed from the loans, net of deferred fees, as these PCI loans are not covered by the allowance established by the Company unless changes in expected cash flows indicate that one of the PCI loan pools are impaired, at which time an allowance for PCI loans will be established. GAAP requires the acquired allowance for loan losses not be carried over in an acquisition or merger. The Company believes the presentation of the allowance for loan losses ratio, adjusted for acquisition accounting, is useful to investors because the acquired loans were purchased at a market discount with no allowance for loan losses carried over to the Company, and the fair value mark on the purchased performing loans represents the allowance associated with those purchased loans. The Company believes that this measure is a better reflection of the reserves on the Company’s loan portfolio.
