UNION BANKSHARES REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

 

Richmond, Va., October 22, 2014 - Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company” or “Union”) (NASDAQ: UBSH) today reported net income of $14.9 million and earnings per share of $0.33 for its third quarter ended September 30, 2014. Excluding after-tax acquisition-related expenses of $1.1 million, operating earnings(1) for the quarter were $16.0 million and operating earnings per share(1) was $0.35. The quarterly results represent a decrease of $1.8 million, or 10.1%, in operating earnings from the prior quarter. Operating earnings per share of $0.35 for the current quarter decreased $0.03, or 7.9%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $37.5 million and earnings per share was $0.81. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, operating earnings were $50.7 million and operating earnings per share was $1.09.

 

“Union delivered solid earnings in the third quarter despite the impact of OREO valuation adjustments recorded during the period,” said G. William Beale, president and chief executive officer of Union Bankshares Corporation. “During the quarter we evaluated our OREO portfolio to determine the best disposition strategy to minimize property carrying costs and losses which resulted in property write downs, primarily in inactive, rural real estate markets. Excluding this item, operating earnings would have been $20.0 million or $0.44 per share.

 

Union has a long history of delivering consistently strong earnings by staying focused on building long term shareholder value and we continue to manage the company in that way. We remain committed to achieving top tier financial performance and providing our shareholders with above average returns on their investment.”

 

Select highlights for the third quarter include:

 

·Operating earnings(1) for the community bank segment, which excludes after-tax acquisition-related expenses of $1.1 million, were $16.7 million, or $0.36 per share, for the third quarter compared to $18.4 million, or $0.40 per share for the second quarter.
·The mortgage segment reported a net loss of $628,000, or $0.01 per share, for the third quarter compared to a net loss of $602,000, or $0.01 per share, for the second quarter.
·Third quarter net income and operating earnings include after-tax valuation adjustments on other real estate owned (“OREO”) totaling $4.0 million, or $0.09 per share, resulting from updated property valuations that reflect a shift in the Company’s OREO disposition strategy.
·Operating Return on Average Tangible Common Equity(1) (“ROTCE”) was 9.82% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to operating ROTCE(1) of 11.10% for the second quarter. The operating ROTCE(1) of the community bank segment was 10.26% for the third quarter. Excluding the OREO valuation adjustment, the operating ROTCE for the current quarter would have been 12.26% and 12.72% for the Company and community bank segment, respectively.
·Operating Return on Average Assets(1) (“ROA”) was 0.88% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to operating ROA(1) of 0.98% for the second quarter. The operating ROA(1) of the community bank segment was 0.91% for the third quarter. Excluding the OREO valuation adjustment, the operating ROA for the current quarter would have been 1.10% and 1.13% for the Company and community bank segment, respectively.
·Operating efficiency ratio(1) increased to 69.9% for the current quarter from 66.4% in the prior quarter. The operating efficiency ratio for the community bank segment was 67.7% for the third quarter. Excluding the OREO valuation adjustment, the operating efficiency ratio for the current quarter would have been 62.6% and 60.1% for the Company and community bank segment, respectively.

 

 
 

 

·On January 31, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to purchase up to $65.0 million worth of the Company’s common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program is authorized through December 31, 2015. As of October 17, 2014, approximately 1.8 million common shares had been repurchased and approximately $20.1 million remained available under the repurchase program.

NET INTEREST INCOME

 

Tax-equivalent net interest income was $66.5 million, an increase of $721,000 from the second quarter of 2014. The third quarter tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 2 bps to 4.11% from 4.09% in the previous quarter. Core tax-equivalent net interest margin (which excludes the 19 bps impact of acquisition accounting accretion) decreased by 2 bps from 3.94% in the previous quarter to 3.92%. The decrease in the core tax-equivalent net interest margin was principally due to a decrease in earning asset yields (-3 bps), outpacing the decline in cost of funds (+1 bps). The decline in earning asset yields was primarily driven by reinvestment of excess cash flows at lower rates during the quarter.

 

The Company continues to believe that core net interest margin will decline modestly over the next several quarters as decreases in earning asset yields are projected to outpace declines in interest-bearing liabilities rates.

 

The Company’s fully taxable equivalent net interest margin includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments. The second and third quarters 2014 and remaining estimated discount/premium and net accretion impact are reflected in the following table (dollars in thousands):

ASSET QUALITY/LOAN LOSS PROVISION

 

Overview

During the third quarter, the Company experienced declines in both nonaccrual loan and OREO balances from the prior quarter. The decline in OREO balances was mostly attributable to valuation adjustments of $6.2 million during the quarter, offset by closed bank premises related to the StellarOne acquisition moving to OREO. Net charge-offs during the third quarter were consistent with net charge-offs during the second quarter, while year-to-date net charge-offs remained lower than for the same period in the prior year. Both the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio and allowance for loan losses to total loans, adjusted for acquisition accounting, ratio remained consistent with the prior quarter and were down from the prior year. The magnitude of any change in the real estate market and its impact on the Company is still largely dependent upon continued recovery of residential housing and commercial real estate and the pace at which the local economies in the Company’s operating markets improve. All metrics discussed below exclude loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality (“PCI”) aggregating $113.7 million (net of fair value mark).

 

 
 

 

Nonperforming Assets (“NPAs”)

At September 30, 2014, nonperforming assets totaled $58.0 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 4.3%, from a year ago and a decline of $3.6 million, or 5.8%, from June 30, 2014. In addition, NPAs as a percentage of total outstanding loans declined 73 basis points from 1.85% a year earlier and 6 basis points from 1.18% last quarter to 1.12% in the current quarter.

Ending Balance  $37,754   $38,494   $35,487   $34,116   $35,709 

 

Of the $7.4 million in additions to OREO in the current quarter, $4.8 million related to acquired bank premises no longer used in operations. OREO valuation adjustments of $6.2 million were recorded in the current quarter based on recent appraisals and a shift in the Company’s OREO property disposition strategy. During the quarter, the Company reevaluated its OREO sales strategies in light of limited progress in selling properties in inactive, rural real estate markets that have been held for extended periods of time. These valuation adjustments will allow the Company to be more aggressive in disposing of long-held OREO properties and reducing the ongoing expenses associated with managing these properties.

 

Past Due Loans

At September 30, 2014, loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest totaled $16.1 million, or 0.31% of total loans, compared to $7.3 million, or 0.24%, a year ago and $6.9 million, or 0.13%, at June 30, 2014. The current quarter increase is primarily comprised of two commercial loan relationships.

 

Charge-offs

For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, net charge-offs were $1.1 million, or 0.08% on an annualized basis, compared to $2.3 million, or 0.30%, for the same quarter last year and $1.0 million, or 0.08%, for the second quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net charge-offs were $1.3 million, or 0.03% on an annualized basis, compared to $5.9 million, or 0.26%, for the same period in the prior year.

 

 
 

 

Provision

The provision for loan losses for the current quarter was $1.8 million, consistent with the same quarter a year ago and an increase of $300,000 from the previous quarter. The increase in provision for loan losses in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter was driven by increases in specific reserves on impaired loans.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) increased $730,000 from June 30, 2014 to $32.1 million at September 30, 2014. The ALL as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, adjusted for purchase accounting (non-GAAP), was 1.12% at September 30, 2014, a slight increase form 1.11% from the prior quarter and a decrease from 1.25% at September 30, 2013. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio was 0.62% at September 30, 2014, 0.60% at June 30, 2014, and 1.13% at September 30, 2013. In acquisition accounting, there is no carryover of previously established allowance for loan losses.

 

The nonaccrual loan coverage ratio was 158.3% at September 30, 2014, compared to 135.8% at June 30, 2014 and 169.9% from the same quarter last year. 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 remained consistent with the prior quarter at $16.7 million. Customer-related noninterest income decreased $667,000, primarily due to decreases in service charges on deposit accounts, debit card interchange income, letter of credit fees, and income from wealth management services. Gains on sales of securities of $995,000 increased $569,000 from the prior quarter. Other income increased $577,000 from prior quarter primarily due to interest received on previously charged-off loans and previously deferred incentives from contracts that were renegotiated in the current period. Gains on sales of mortgage loans, net of commissions, decreased $433,000, or 14.3%, from the prior quarter, driven by decreased mortgage loan originations. Mortgage loan originations declined by $17.1 million, or 8.8%, in the current quarter to $178.0 million from $195.1 million in the second quarter. Of the loan originations in the current quarter, 28.6% were refinances, which was an increase from 24.4% in the prior quarter.

 

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

 

Noninterest expense increased $446,000, or 0.8%, to $59.9 million from $59.5 million when compared to the prior quarter. Excluding acquisition-related costs, which were $1.7 million and $4.7 million in the current and previous quarters, respectively, noninterest expense increased $3.4 million, or 6.2%, from the prior quarter. Increases in OREO and credit-related expenses of $4.3 million were partially offset by decreases in salary and benefit expenses of $2.0 million. The increase in OREO and credit-related costs is related to valuation adjustments required in the current quarter based on recent valuations of OREO related to a shift in disposition strategy as discussed above. The Company’s operating efficiency ratio increased to 69.9% from 66.4% in the second quarter. Excluding the OREO valuation adjustments, the operating efficiency ratio improved to 62.6% from 65.4% in the prior quarter.

 

BALANCE SHEET

 

At September 30, 2014, total assets were $7.2 billion, an increase of $3.0 billion from December 31, 2013, reflecting the impact of the StellarOne acquisition, and a decrease of $112.7 million, or 1.54%, from June 30, 2014.

 

At September 30, 2014, loans net of unearned income were $5.2 billion, a decrease of $62.1 million from June 30, 2014, while average loans declined $50.6 million, or 3.9% (annualized). On a proforma basis, including StellarOne loan balances, period end loan balances declined $50.9 million, or 1.0%, when compared to September 30, 2013.

 

 
 

 

At September 30, 2014, total deposits were $5.6 billion, a decrease of $100.5 million from June 30, 2014, while average deposits increased $8.7 million, or 0.6% (annualized). On a proforma basis, including StellarOne deposit balances, period end deposit balances declined $46.2 million, or 0.8%, when compared to September 30, 2013.

 

The Company’s capital ratios continued to be considered “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes. The Company’s estimated ratios of total capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets as of September 30, 2014 were 13.71% and 13.07%, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets were 14.17% and 13.05%, respectively, and were 13.57% and 12.94%, respectively, as of June 30, 2014. The Company’s common equity to asset ratios at September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were 13.59%, 13.37%, and 10.49%, respectively, while its tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 9.42%, 9.23%, and 8.94% at September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

COMMUNITY BANK SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The community bank segment reported net income of $15.6 million for the third quarter, an increase of $170,000, or 1.1%, from $15.4 million in the second quarter. Excluding after-tax acquisition-related expenses of $1.1 million and $3.0 million in the current and prior quarters, respectively, operating earnings decreased $1.8 million from the prior quarter to $16.7 million. As previously discussed, the provision for loan losses increased $300,000 from the prior quarter due to increases in specific reserves on impaired loans. Net interest income was $64.2 million, an increase of $761,000 from the second quarter.

 

Noninterest income increased $462,000 from $13.8 million in the prior quarter to $14.3 million. Customer-related noninterest income decreased $667,000, primarily due to decreases in service charges on deposit accounts, debit card interchange income, letter of credit fees, and income from wealth management services. Gains on sales of securities increased $569,000 from the prior quarter. Other income increased $582,000 from prior quarter related to interest received on previously charged-off loans and previously deferred incentives from contracts that were renegotiated in the current period.

 

Noninterest expense increased $839,000 from $55.3 million to $56.2 million. Excluding acquisition-related costs, which were $1.7 million and $4.7 million in the current quarter and previous quarter, respectively, noninterest expense increased $3.8 million, or 7.5%, compared to the prior quarter. Increases in OREO and credit-related expenses of $4.3 million were partially offset by decreases in salary and benefit expenses of $1.8 million. The increase in OREO and credit-related costs is related to valuation adjustments required in the current quarter based on recent valuations of OREO related to a shift in disposition strategy. The community banking segment’s operating efficiency ratio increased to 67.7% in the second quarter from 63.9% in the prior quarter. Excluding the OREO valuation adjustments, the operating efficiency ratio improved to 60.1% from 62.8% in the prior quarter.

 

MORTGAGE SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The mortgage segment reported a net loss of $628,000 for the third quarter, an increased loss of $26,000, or 4.3%, from a net loss of $602,000 in the second quarter. Gains on sales of mortgage loans, net of commissions, decreased $433,000, or 14.3%, primarily related to lower mortgage loan originations.  Mortgage loan originations decreased by $17.1 million, or 8.8%, in the current quarter to $178.0 million from $195.1 million in the second quarter. Of the loan originations in the current quarter, 28.6% were refinances, which was an increase from 24.4% in the prior quarter. Noninterest expenses decreased $393,000, or 9.2%, from $4.3 million in the prior quarter to $3.9 million, primarily related to declines in salaries and occupancy expense, as a result of management’s continued efforts to streamline the mortgage segment’s processes and cost structure to align with the overall lower mortgage origination levels it has been experiencing over the last several quarters.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

 

In reporting the results of September 30, 2014, the Company has provided supplemental performance measures on an operating or tangible basis. Operating measures exclude acquisition costs unrelated to the Company’s normal operations. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors as they exclude non-operating adjustments resulting from acquisition activity and allow investors to see the combined economic results of the organization. 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.

 

These measures are a supplement to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies.

(1) The core net interest margin, fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) excludes the impact of acquisition accounting accretion and amortization adjustments in net interest income.

 

(2) The allowance for loan losses, adjusted for acquisition accounting (non-GAAP) ratio includes an adjustment for the credit mark on purchased performing loans. The purchased performing loans are reported net of the related credit mark in loans, net of unearned income, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet; therefore, the credit mark is added back to the balance to represent the total loan portfolio. The adjusted allowance for loan losses, including the credit mark, represents the total reserve on the Company’s loan portfolio. The PCI loans, net of the respective credit mark, are removed from the loans, net of unearned income, as these 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, adjusted for acquisition accounting ratio 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 credit 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.

 

(3) The Company has provided supplemental performance measures which the Company believes may be useful to investors as they exclude non-operating adjustments resulting from acquisition and allow investors to see the combined economic results of the organization. These measures are a supplement to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies.

 

(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) September 30, 2014 ratios are estimates and subject to change pending the filing of the FR Y9-C. All other periods presented as filed.
