Brookline Bancorp Announces 2012 First Quarter Results

Quarter Highlights

  • 1Q12 Operating EPS Increased 15% to $0.15, up from 4Q11 $0.13
  • Acquisition of Bancorp Rhode Island Complete
  • $4.9 Billion in Assets
  • Consistent Operating Results
  • Strong Organic Loan and Deposit Growth
  • Solid Credit Quality

BROOKLINE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 18, 2012--Brookline Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRKL) today reported net income of $6.3 million, or $0.09 fully diluted earnings per share (EPS), for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. These results compare to the first quarter 2011 net income of $7.3 million, or $0.12 fully diluted EPS, and the net income for the fourth quarter 2011 of $7.1 million, or $0.12 fully diluted EPS. Net earnings from operations were $10.3 million, or $0.15 per fully diluted share, after adjustment for merger-related expenses of $4.0 million (after-tax) associated with the January 1, 2012 acquisition of Bancorp Rhode Island, Inc. (“Bancorp Rhode Island”).

“Brookline Bancorp again delivered solid operating results, through continued organic loan and deposit growth and strong credit fundamentals” reported Paul A. Perrault, President and CEO of Brookline Bancorp. “We have already begun to capitalize upon the Bank Rhode Island acquisition and, looking forward, we remain enthusiastic about the growth opportunities in our respective marketplaces and our capacity to deliver on an expanded suite of products and services.”

FIRST QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS

Brookline Bancorp posted net operating earnings of $10.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012, after adjustment for merger-related expenses of $4.0 million after tax. Total revenues (net interest income and non-interest income) of $47.2 million increased 57.4 percent as compared to the last quarter of 2011, driven by 53.0 percent growth in net interest income and 141.1 percent growth in other fee income. These results reflect increases in average commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and consumer loans of $589.8 million, $299.2 million and $338.4 million, respectively, and average core deposits of $638.6 million over the fourth quarter of 2011. Net interest margin was 4.08 percent, up from the fourth quarter of 2011, as Brookline Bancorp began to benefit from the Bancorp Rhode Island acquisition and continued to improve low-cost deposit balances.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the first quarter 2012 increased to $43.6 million from $25.9 million in the first quarter 2011 and increased compared to $28.5 million in the fourth quarter 2011. Net interest margin for the first quarter 2012 was 4.08 percent, representing an improvement of 34 basis points from the first quarter 2011 and an increase of 30 basis points from the fourth quarter 2011. These increases in net interest income and margin are largely as a result of the Bancorp Rhode Island acquisition and the continued increase in lower-cost transaction accounts as a percentage of total deposits.


NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income was $3.6 million for the first quarter 2012, up $2.5 million from the first quarter 2011 and $2.1 million from the fourth quarter 2011. The growth was primarily driven by $2.3 million of non-interest income attributable to Bancorp Rhode Island.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense was $32.6 million in the first quarter 2012, up $19.1 million compared to the first quarter 2011 and up $16.1 million from the fourth quarter 2011. The increase for both periods was primarily due to additional expense related to the acquisition of Bancorp Rhode Island. Included in this increase are $5.4 million of pre-tax merger-related expenses.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets at March 31, 2012 grew to $4.9 billion with the acquisition of Bancorp Rhode Island, representing an increase of 59.5 percent from the first quarter of 2011 and 47.8 percent from December 31, 2011.

The loan and lease portfolio grew to $3.9 billion as of March 31, 2012. This represented increases of $1.4 billion, or 55.9 percent, from March 31, 2011 and $1.2 billion, or 44.6 percent, from December 31, 2011. Growth from March 31, 2011 was driven by organic growth of 10.0 percent, primarily from commercial real estate and commercial loan and lease organic growth of 15.6 percent and 13.2 percent, respectively, and the addition of $1.2 billion in loans and leases from the Bancorp Rhode Island acquisition. The increase in the loan and lease portfolio from December 31, 2011 was also driven by the addition of $1.2 billion of Bancorp Rhode Island loans and leases as well as organic growth in the commercial real estate loan and lease portfolios of 3.5 percent.

Total deposits were $3.5 billion at March 31, 2012, up 63.3 percent from March 31, 2011 and 53.6 percent from December 31, 2011. Growth from March 31, 2011 was driven by organic growth of 9.0 percent and the addition of $1.2 billion in deposits from the Bancorp Rhode Island acquisition. Transaction deposit (non-certificate of deposit) trends remained positive with growth of 87.2 percent from March 31, 2011 and a 65.7 percent increase from December 31, 2011. The transaction deposit growth from December 31, 2011 was driven by $877.9 million in transaction deposits acquired from Bancorp Rhode Island as well as organic growth among the demand checking and money market savings accounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the average balance of transaction deposits rose to 63.0 percent of the average balance of total deposits compared to 54.9 percent at March 31, 2011 and 59.7 percent from December 31, 2011.

The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances for the first quarter 2012 were $698.7 million, up $306.3 million from the first quarter 2011 and $200.1 million from December 31, 2011, largely as a result of the Bancorp Rhode Island acquisition.

Brookline Bancorp recorded goodwill of $93.1 million, $28.4 million in loan discounts, core deposit intangibles of $19.4 million, deferred tax assets of $9.3 million, borrowing-related discounts of $16.3 million, and net discounts on various other assets and liabilities of $3.8 million in conjunction with its acquisition of Bancorp Rhode Island.


ASSET QUALITY

Non-performing assets at March 31, 2012 totaled $14.6 million or 0.30 percent of total assets. This represented an increase from $8.8 million, or 0.27 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2011.

Net charge-offs were $522,000, or 0.05 percent of average loans and leases, for the first quarter 2012 compared to net charge-offs for the first quarter 2011 of $706,000, or 0.12 percent of average loans and leases, and $267,000, or 0.04 percent of average loans and leases, in the fourth quarter 2011.

The provision for credit losses was $3.2 million for the first quarter 2012, compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter 2011 and $0.8 million in the fourth quarter 2011. The change in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to provisions on newly originated loans and leases at Bancorp Rhode Island.

The allowance for loan and lease losses was $34.4 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $31.7 million at December 31, 2011 and $30.0 million at March 31, 2011. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percent of total loans and leases was 0.87 percent at March 31, 2012, compared to 1.17 percent at December 31, 2011 and 1.19 percent at March 31, 2011. The decrease in the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases is due to the loans and leases acquired in the Bancorp Rhode Island acquisition being recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition.

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.085 per share. The dividend will be paid on May 25, 2012, to shareholders of record on May 11, 2012.
