UNION BANKSHARES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

Richmond, Va., July 21, 2015 - Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company” or “Union”) (NASDAQ: UBSH) today reported net income of $15.3 million and earnings per share of $0.34 for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015. The quarterly results include $832,000, or $0.02 per share, in after-tax nonrecurring costs associated with branch closures and represent a decrease of $353,000, or 2.2%, in net income and a decrease of $0.01, or 2.9%, in earnings per share from the first quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net income was $31.0 million with earnings per share at $0.69.

 

“Union’s second quarter results clearly demonstrate the steady progress we are making toward the growth objectives we envisioned as the largest community banking institution headquartered in Virginia,” said G. William Beale, president and chief executive officer of Union Bankshares Corporation, “During the quarter, loans grew by 9.1% while deposits grew by 8.1% on an annualized basis as we continue to build the core engine to generate sustainable, profitable growth for our shareholders.  Our commercial, retail, and wealth management teams have coalesced and are leveraging Union’s unique market position to attract new customers while deepening our relationships with existing customers.

 

We are also pleased to report that the mortgage company returned to profitability during the quarter.  The mortgage company has worked hard to stabilize and restructure the business over the past several quarters and we are beginning to see the positive results of these efforts.  The mortgage team is now able to turn their attention to adding to our mortgage sales teams to grow loan origination levels and generate the revenue that will allow us to profitably leverage our more efficient operating platform.”

 

Select highlights for the second quarter include:

·The quarterly results include $1.3 million in pre-tax nonrecurring costs related to the previously announced closure of seven branches.
·Net income for the community bank segment was $15.3 million, or $0.34 per share, for the second quarter compared to $16.0 million, or $0.36 per share, for the first quarter. Net income for the community bank segment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $31.2 million, or $0.69 per share.
·The mortgage segment reported net income of $95,000 for the second quarter, an improvement from a net loss of $267,000 for the first quarter. The mortgage segment had a net loss of $172,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
·Period end loan balances increased $122.6 million, or 9.1% on an annualized basis, from March 31, 2015. Average loan balances increased $87.5 million, or 6.5% on an annualized basis, from the prior quarter.
·Asset quality improved due to reductions in nonperforming assets and past due loan levels.

 

NET INTEREST INCOME

 

Tax-equivalent net interest income was $66.1 million, an increase of $2.0 million from the first quarter of 2015, primarily driven by the impact of the higher day count in the second quarter and higher earning asset yields. The second quarter tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 2 basis points to 3.97% from 3.95% in the previous quarter. Core tax-equivalent net interest margin (which excludes the 11 basis points impact of acquisition accounting accretion) increased by 2 basis points to 3.86% from 3.84% in the previous quarter. The increase in the core tax-equivalent net interest margin was principally due to the 1 basis point increase in interest-earning asset yields combined with the 1 basis point reduction in cost of funds. The increase in interest-earning asset yields was primarily driven by higher loan and investment yields.

 

 
 

 

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

 

The Company’s fully taxable equivalent net interest margin includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments. During the second quarter, net accretion related to acquisition accounting declined by $48,000 from the prior quarter to $1.8 million. The first and second quarters of 2015 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 second quarter, the Company experienced declines in nonaccrual and past due loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”) balances from the prior quarter and the prior year. The decline in OREO balances was mostly attributable to sales of foreclosed land and residential real estate property during the quarter. The loan loss provision increased from the prior quarter due to loan growth and higher specific reserves on impaired loans. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratios (both unadjusted and adjusted for acquisition accounting) were consistent with the prior quarter and down from the prior year.

 

All nonaccrual and past due loan metrics discussed below exclude purchased credit impaired loans (“PCI”) totaling $87.8 million (net of fair value mark).

 

Nonperforming Assets (“NPAs”)

At June 30, 2015, nonperforming assets totaled $31.7 million, a decrease of $29.9 million, or 48.5%, from a year ago and a decline of $11.1 million, or 25.9%, from March 31, 2015. In addition, NPAs as a percentage of total outstanding loans declined 60 basis points from 1.18% a year earlier and 21 basis points from 0.79% last quarter to 0.58% in the current quarter. The following table shows a summary of asset quality balances at the quarter ended (dollars in thousands):

Ending Balance  $9,521   $17,385   $19,255   $20,279   $23,099 

 

The decline in nonaccrual loans was largely due to payments received in settlements, sales of collateral, and liquidation of customer assets.

During the second quarter of 2015, the majority of sales of OREO were related to land and residential real estate.

 

Past Due Loans

Past due loans still accruing interest totaled $33.5 million, or 0.61% of total loans, at June 30, 2015 compared to $43.2 million, or 0.83%, a year ago and $42.7 million, or 0.79%, at March 31, 2015. At June 30, 2015, loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest totaled $10.9 million, or 0.20% of total loans, compared to $6.9 million, or 0.13%, a year ago and $7.9 million, or 0.15%, at March 31, 2015.

 

Net Charge-offs

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, net charge-offs were $2.2 million, or 0.16% on an annualized basis, compared to $1.0 million, or 0.08%, for the same quarter last year and $3.2 million, or 0.24%, for the first quarter of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net charge-offs were $5.3 million, or 0.20% on an annualized basis, compared to $256,000, or 0.01%, for the same period in the prior year.

 

Provision

The provision for loan losses for the current quarter was $3.5 million, an increase of $2.0 million compared to the same quarter a year ago and $1.8 million compared to the previous quarter. The increase in provision for loan losses in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter was driven by loan growth and higher specific reserves on impaired loans. Additionally, a $200,000 provision was recognized during the current quarter for unfunded loan commitments, resulting in a total of $3.7 million in provision for credit losses for the quarter.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) increased $1.4 million from March 31, 2015 to $32.3 million at June 30, 2015 due to the increase in provision for loan losses primarily driven by loan growth during the quarter. The ALL as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, adjusted for purchase accounting (non-GAAP), was 1.02% at June 30, 2015, a decrease from 1.03% from the prior quarter and from 1.11% at June 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio was 0.59% at June 30, 2015, 0.57% at March 31, 2015, and 0.60% at June 30, 2014. 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 339.7% at June 30, 2015, compared to 178.2% at March 31, 2015 and 135.8% at June 30, 2014. 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 increased $1.1 million, or 7.7%, to $16.2 million from $15.1 million in the prior quarter. Customer-related fee income increased $968,000, primarily driven by higher overdraft, interchange, and letter of credit fees. Gains on sales of mortgage loans, net of commissions, increased $195,000, or 8.2%, from the prior quarter, related to improved gain on sale margins as well as increased mortgage loan originations, partially offset by a decline in unrealized gains on interest rate lock commitments. Mortgage loan originations increased by $1.6 million, or 1.1%, in the current quarter to $140.3 million from $138.7 million in the first quarter, as increased construction and purchase loan production of $23.8 million outpaced declines in refinance originations of $22.2 million during the quarter. Of the loan originations in the current quarter, 30.9% were refinances, which was a decline from 47.3% in the prior quarter. Gains on sales of securities increased $211,000 from the prior quarter. The reduction in other operating income was primarily related to gains from the dissolution of a limited partnership in the prior quarter.

 

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

 

Noninterest expense increased $1.4 million, or 2.6%, to $55.2 million from $53.8 million when compared to the prior quarter. The increase in noninterest expense is primarily driven by $1.3 million in nonrecurring costs related to the previously announced closure of seven branches. Excluding the branch closure costs, noninterest expense increased slightly from the prior quarter. OREO and credit-related costs increased $779,000 related to seasonal real estate taxes, higher legal fees, losses on the sale of properties, and higher valuation adjustments. Marketing expenses increased $685,000 related to the timing of advertising campaigns, and professional fees increased $321,000 related to legal and consulting fees. These increases were offset by a $1.9 million reduction in salaries and benefit expenses due to lower incentive compensation, group insurance, and payroll taxes.

The community bank segment reported net income of $15.3 million for the second quarter, a decrease of $715,000, or 4.5%, from $16.0 million in the first quarter. Net interest income was $63.4 million, an increase of $1.7 million from the first quarter principally due to the impact of the higher day count in the second quarter and higher earning asset yields. As previously discussed, the provision for loan losses increased $1.8 million from the prior quarter due to loan growth and higher specific reserves on impaired loans.

 

Noninterest income increased $675,000 to $13.5 million in the current quarter compared to $12.8 million in the prior quarter. Customer-related fee income increased $968,000, primarily driven by higher overdraft, interchange, and letter of credit fees. Gains on sales of securities increased $211,000 from the prior quarter. Other income decreased $506,000 primarily related to gains from the dissolution of a limited partnership in the prior quarter.

 

Noninterest expense increased $1.4 million from $51.0 million in the prior quarter to $52.4 million in the current quarter. The increase in noninterest expense is primarily driven by $1.3 million in nonrecurring costs related to the previously announced closure of seven branches. Excluding the branch closure costs, noninterest expense increased slightly from the prior quarter. OREO and credit-related costs increased $771,000 related to seasonal real estate taxes, higher legal fees, losses on the sale of properties, and higher valuation adjustments. Marketing expenses increased $682,000 related to the timing of advertising campaigns, and professional fees increased $324,000 related to legal and consulting fees.

MORTGAGE SEGMENT INFORMATION

Gains on sales of mortgage loans, net of commissions, increased $195,000, related to improved gain on sale margins as well as increased mortgage loan originations, partially offset by a decline in unrealized gains on interest rate lock commitments. Mortgage loan originations increased by $1.6 million, or 1.1%, in the current quarter to $140.3 million from $138.7 million in the first quarter, as increased construction and purchase loan production of $23.8 million outpaced declines in refinance originations of $22.2 million during the quarter. Of the loan originations in the current quarter, 30.9% were refinances, which was a decrease from 47.3% in the prior quarter.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

The Company adopted ASU 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects” as of January 1, 2015. As permitted by the guidance, the Company adopted the proportional amortization method of accounting for Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The proportional amortization method amortizes the cost of the investment over the period in which the Company will receive tax credits and other tax benefits, and the resulting amortization is recognized as a component of income taxes attributable to continuing operations. Historically, these investments were accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the passive losses related to the investments were recognized within noninterest expense. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2015 with retrospective application as required by the ASU. Prior period 2014 results and related metrics have been restated to conform to this presentation.

 

NON-GAAP MEASURES

 

In reporting the results of the quarter ended June 30, 2015, 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 metrics, fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”), exclude the impact of acquisition accounting accretion and amortization adjustments in net interest income.

 

(2) The Company has provided supplemental performance measures which it believes may be 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. 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.

 

(3) Beginning January 1, 2015, the Company calculates its regulatory capital under the Basel III Standardized Approach. The Company calculated regulatory capital measures for periods prior to 2015 under previous regulatory requirements. All ratios at June 30, 2015 are estimates and subject to change pending the Company’s filing of its FR Y9-C. All other periods presented as filed.

 

(4) 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.

 

(5) 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.
