Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. Announces 94th Consecutive Profitable Quarter; 2013 First Quarter Net Income of $3.4 Million; and Loan Growth of $44.5 Million
LOWELL, MA-(GlobeNewswire)-(April 18, 2013) - Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EBTC), parent of Enterprise Bank, announces net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $3.4 million, an increase of $260 thousand, or 8%, compared to the same three-month period in 2012. Diluted earnings per share were $0.35 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $0.02, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2012. Total assets increased 2% in the first quarter of 2013, amounting to $1.69 billion at March 31, 2013. Loans outstanding increased 3%, which represents a rate of 13% on an annualized basis.
As previously announced on April 16, 2013, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.115 per share to be paid on June 3, 2013 to shareholders of record as of May 13, 2013. The quarterly dividend represents a 4.5% increase over the 2012 dividend rate.
Chief Executive Officer Jack Clancy commented, “We believe our first quarter growth and performance position Enterprise well for 2013. Our performance is a reflection of our organic growth and market expansion. We will continue to focus on investments in technology, our communities, and our family of Enterprise employees. Our 21st branch in Lawrence, MA is scheduled to open within the month and our recently announced 22nd branch in Nashua, NH is planned to open in the fourth quarter of 2013.”
George L. Duncan, Founder and Chairman, commented that “Our Bank will continue to take advantage of the many opportunities that lie ahead. The economic climate has stabilized providing further opportunities for a strong, profitable, well-managed commercial bank as the housing, construction and manufacturing sectors are reporting positive signs of growth. Furthermore, indicators show businesses are looking to expand and start-up companies are on the increase in our region. With our expanding branch network, our highly skilled and experienced banking team and state-of-the-art products and services, we look forward with great anticipation to beginning our second quarter century in business.”
Results of Operations
The Company's growth contributed to increases in net interest income, the provision for loan losses and the level of operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same 2012 period. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, non-interest income also increased primarily as a result of gains on securities sales.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 amounted to $15.8 million, an increase of $890 thousand, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2012. This increase in net interest income was due primarily to revenue generated from loan growth, partially offset by a decrease in tax equivalent net interest margin ("margin"). Quarterly average loan balances (including loans held for sale) increased $138.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Net interest margin was 4.16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to 4.36% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Margin was 4.21% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Consistent with the industry, the margin continued to trend downward, as the yield on interest-earning assets declined faster than the cost of funding, as funding rates have reached a level leaving little room for significant reductions.
The provision for loan losses amounted to $783 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $300 thousand for the same period in 2012. The increase in the provision is primarily due to loan growth during the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by modest credit stabilization within the loan portfolio compared to the 2012 period. In making the provision to the allowance for loan losses, management takes into consideration the level of loan growth, adversely classified and non-performing loans, the estimated specific reserves needed for impaired
loans, the level of net charge-offs, and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on credit quality. The level of loan growth for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was $44.5 million, compared to $1.9 million during the same period in 2012. The balance of the allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans amounted to $4.3 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $3.7 million at March 31, 2012. Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 1.18% at March 31, 2013, compared to 1.74% at March 31, 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $21 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net charge-offs were $853 thousand. Management continues to closely monitor the non-performing assets, charge-offs and necessary allowance levels, including specific reserves. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 1.78% at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 amounted to $3.6 million, an increase of $665 thousand, or 22%, compared to the first quarter of 2012. The increase over the 2012 quarter was primarily due to increases in gains on securities sales, gains on loan sales, and deposit and interchange fees.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 amounted to $13.5 million, an increase of $636 thousand, or 5%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Increased expenses related to salaries and benefits and technology over the comparable quarter were primarily due to the Company's strategic growth initiatives, including branch expansion. Occupancy expenses increased over the comparable 2012 period primarily as a result of branch growth and investments in maintaining our facilities. Partially offsetting these increases were reductions in the costs of advertising and public relations compared to the 2012 quarter, due to the timing of advertising initiatives and corporate community events.
