For Immediate Release:

Bank of Commerce Holdings Announces Results for the First Quarter of 2017


REDDING, California, April 20, 2017 / GLOBE NEWSWIRE— Randall S. Eslick, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Commerce Holdings (NASDAQ: BOCH) (the “Company”), a $1.1 billion asset bank holding company and parent company of Redding Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $2.3 million or $0.17 per share – diluted, compared with a net loss of $960 thousand or $0.07 per share – diluted for the same period of 2016.

 

 

Financial highlights for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter a year ago:

 

Net income of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was an increase of $3.2 million (338%) from $960 thousand net loss recorded during the same period in the prior year. Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 included expenses totaling $2.8 million related to the acquisition of five Bank of America branches and the execution of our plans to reconfigure our balance sheet using liquidity provided by those branches.

Return on average assets improved to 0.80% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to (0.37)% for the same period in the prior year.

Return on average equity improved to 9.63% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to (4.23)% for the same period in the prior year.

Deposits at March 31, 2017 totaled $1.0 billion, an increase of $66.8 million (7%) since March 31, 2016. This growth was centered in core deposits in our Sacramento marketplace.

Gross loans at March 31, 2017 totaled $810.2 million, an increase of $86.0 million (12%) since March 31, 2016. Most of this growth occurred in our Sacramento marketplace and is the result of investments in our SBA division and in our expanded Sacramento commercial banking group.

Tangible book value per common share was $6.97 at March 31, 2017 compared to $6.57 at March 31, 2016.

 

Financial highlights for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the prior quarter:

 

Net income of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was a decrease of $45 thousand (8% annualized) from $2.3 million net income earned during the prior quarter. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 included life insurance death benefit proceeds of $502 thousand and a $200 thousand provision for loan and lease losses.

Return on average assets was 0.80% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 0.81% for the prior quarter.

Return on average equity decreased to 9.63% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 9.69% for the prior quarter.

Deposits at March 31, 2017 totaled $1.0 billion, a decrease of $176 thousand (0.07% annualized) since December 31, 2016.

Gross loans at March 31, 2017 totaled $810.2 million, an increase of $6.0 million (3% annualized) since December 31, 2016.

Tangible book value per common share was $6.97 at March 31, 2017 compared to $6.83 at December 31, 2016.

 

 

Randall S. Eslick, President and CEO commented: “It is hard to believe that a full year has already passed since we acquired five new offices from Bank of America. During that time, the buildings have been remodeled and the new staff and customers have been fully integrated into the Redding Bank of Commerce family. Throughout the bank, deposits and loans have continued to increase handsomely which we anticipate will lead to increasing profitability. We applaud the hard work of our employees and acknowledge their accomplishments.”

As of March 31, 2017, we maintained noninterest-bearing cash positions of $18.3 million and interest-bearing deposits in the amount of $42.7 million at the Federal Reserve Bank and correspondent banks. During the first quarter of 2017, we continued to deploy liquidity provided by the March 2016 branch acquisition and by strong organic deposit growth into loan originations and available for sale securities.

 

Available-for-sale investment securities totaled $181.5 million at March 31, 2017, compared with $174.3 million and $175.2 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Our available-for-sale investment portfolio provides us with a secondary source of liquidity to fund other higher yielding asset opportunities, such as loan originations and wholesale loan purchases. During the first quarter of 2017 we purchased 18 securities with a par value of $23.7 million and weighted average yield of 2.52% and sold 14 securities with a par value of $13.5 million and weighted average yield of 2.06%. The sales activity on available for sale securities resulted in $66 thousand in net realized gains. During the same period, we received $4.3 million in proceeds from principal payments, calls and maturities within the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio. Average securities balances and weighted average tax equivalent yields for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $211.1 million and 3.06% compared to $197.8 million and 3.42%, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2017, our net unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities were $891 thousand compared with net unrealized gains of $1.7 million and net unrealized losses of $1.3 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The decrease in net unrealized losses between December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 is primarily due to significant changes in market interest rates over the past three months.

First Quarter of 2017 Compared With First Quarter of 2016

 

Net income for the first quarter of 2017 increased $3.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2016. In the current quarter, net interest income was $1.4 million higher, noninterest income was $593 thousand higher, and noninterest expense was $1.9 million lower. These positive changes were offset by a provision for loan and lease losses that was $200 thousand higher and a provision for income tax that was $551 thousand higher.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income increased $1.4 million compared to the same period a year ago.

 

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $913 thousand or 9% to $10.8 million. Interest and fees on loans increased $933 thousand due to increased average loan balances. Interest on interest-bearing deposits due from banks increased $39 thousand while interest on securities decreased $59 thousand.

(NASDAQ: BOCH)

 

 

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2017 decreased $517 thousand or 32% to $1.1 million. The net decrease was primarily caused by a $484 thousand decrease in interest on FHLB term debt. During the first quarter of 2016 all FHLB term debt was repaid and an interest rate hedge associated with $75.0 million of that debt was terminated.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $593 thousand compared to the same period a year previous. Our branch and offsite ATM acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2016, enhanced point of sale and ATM fees by $174 thousand and enhanced service charges on deposit accounts by $55 thousand. During the current quarter we also recognized life insurance death benefit proceeds of $502 thousand.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased $1.9 million compared to the same period a year previous. The primary components of the net decrease were:

 

Branch acquisition and balance sheet reconfiguration costs decreased $2.8 million

 

Salaries and related benefits costs increased $433 thousand

 

Sales incentives and commissions increased $196 thousand

 

Occupancy costs increased $259 thousand

 

Income Tax Provision.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $763 thousand (25.31% of pretax income of $3.0 million). Life insurance death benefits of $502 thousand recorded during the current quarter are not subject to income tax and if excluded from pretax income the effective tax rate would have been 30.36%.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $151 thousand (20.19% of pretax operating losses of $748) The write-off of a $363 thousand deferred tax asset during the quarter resulted in a net expense of $212 thousand.

 

 

First Quarter of 2017 Compared With Fourth Quarter of 2016

 

Net income for the first quarter of 2017 decreased $45 thousand compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. In the current quarter, net interest income was $300 thousand higher and noninterest income was $292 thousand higher. These positive changes were offset by an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses of $200 thousand, noninterest expenses that were $246 thousand higher and a provision for income taxes that were $191 thousand higher.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income increased $300 thousand over the prior quarter.

 

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $299 thousand or 12% annualized to $10.8 million compared to the prior quarter. Interest and fees on loans increased $203 thousand due to increased average balances and increased yields. Interest on interest bearing deposits due from banks increased $4 thousand due to increased yields. Interest on investment securities increased $92 thousand due to increased average balances and increased yields.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased $1 thousand or 4% annualized to $1.1 million compared to the prior quarter. Average total deposits for the first quarter of 2017 increased $22.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2016. The growth was in low cost core deposits.

(NASDAQ: BOCH)

 

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $292 thousand compared to the prior quarter. During the current quarter we recognized income from life insurance death benefit proceeds of $502 thousand. Dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco stock decreased $250 thousand primarily due to a special dividend recorded in the prior quarter.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $246 thousand compared to the prior quarter. The primary components of the net increase were:

 

Salaries and related benefits costs increased $269 thousand

Employee vacation accrual costs increased $236 thousand

Deferred loan origination costs decreased $116 thousand

Professional service fees decreased $88 thousand

Data processing fees decreased $126 thousand

Advertising costs decreased $77 thousand

 

Income Tax Provision

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $763 thousand (25.31% of pretax income) compared with a provision for income taxes of $572 thousand (19.94% of pretax income) for the prior quarter. Our income tax provision is composed of two main components: 1) federal and state income taxes based on our income and 2) amortization of our investments in affordable housing partnerships. The increase in the effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2017 when compared to the prior quarter is due to an adjustment we made to the amortization of our investments in affordable housing partnerships during the prior quarter.

 

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Diluted earnings per share were $0.17 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared with diluted loss per share of $0.07 for the same period a year ago, and diluted earnings of $0.17 for the prior period. The number of shares outstanding during these periods has not changed significantly. Changes in earnings per share are the result of changes in net income.

(1) Interest income on loans is net of deferred fees and costs of approximately $197 thousand, $315 thousand, and $139 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

(2) Net loans includes average nonaccrual loans of $10.9 million, $10.4 million and $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016 respectively.

(3) Tax-exempt income has been adjusted to tax equivalent basis at a 34% tax rate. The amount of such adjustments was an addition to recorded income of approximately $273 thousand, $306 thousand and $269 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

(4) Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.

(NASDAQ: BOCH)

 

 

The current quarter net interest margin increased ten basis points to 3.67% as compared to the prior quarter due to increased yields on average interest earning assets. Increases in the average balances of the loan and investment portfolios were funded by increased average balances in low cost deposits and decreased average balances in interest-bearing deposits in other banks.

 

The net interest margin was 3.67% for the current quarter compared to 3.44% for the same period a year ago. The 3 basis point decrease in yield on average earning assets was offset by a 26 basis point decrease in interest expense to fund average earning assets. The increase in interest income compared to the same quarter in the prior year is due to increased volume in the loan and investment portfolios. The decrease in interest expense resulted from our acquisition of low cost core deposits and our ability to restructure our balance sheet.

 

Average deposit balances increased $22.6 million and $188.0 million compared to the prior quarter and the same period a year ago respectively. The increase in average deposit balances compared to the prior quarter was organic growth in core deposits. The increase in average deposit balances compared to the same period a year ago results from both the March 2016 branch acquisition and strong organic growth in core deposits. Our overall cost of total deposits decreased to 0.29% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from 0.37% for the same period a year ago and were unchanged from 0.29% for the prior quarter.

We realized net loan charge-offs of $103 thousand in the current quarter compared with net loan loss charge-offs of $305 thousand in the prior quarter and net loan recoveries of $315 thousand for the same period a year ago. Charge-offs during the first quarter of 2017 of $447 thousand were primarily associated with purchased consumer loans and residential real estate loans.

We continue to monitor credit quality, and adjust the ALLL to ensure that the ALLL is maintained at a level that is adequate to cover estimated credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio. A combination of net loan losses and loan portfolio growth supported management’s decision to record a $200 thousand provision for loan and lease losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. There were no provisions for loan and lease losses during the previous eight consecutive quarters. Our ALLL as a percentage of gross loans was 1.44% as of March 31, 2017 compared to 1.59% as of March 31, 2016 and 1.44% as of December 31, 2016. Based on the Bank’s ALLL methodology, which uses criteria such as risk weighting and historical loss rates, and given the ongoing improvements in asset quality, management believes the Company’s ALLL is adequate at March 31, 2017. There is, however, no assurance that future loan and lease losses will not exceed the levels provided for in the ALLL and could possibly result in future charges to the provision for loan and lease losses.

 

At March 31, 2017, the recorded investment in loans classified as impaired totaled $16.8 million, with a corresponding specific reserve of $1.3 million compared to impaired loans of $19.1 million with a corresponding specific reserve of $1.1 million at March 31, 2016 and impaired loans of $18.8 million, with a corresponding specific reserve of $1.5 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease in loans classified as impaired and the decrease in the corresponding specific reserve compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to two commercial real estate relationships and one residential real estate relationship.

Loans are reported as a troubled debt restructuring when we grant a concession(s) to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider. Examples of such concessions include a reduction in the loan rate, forgiveness of principal or accrued interest, extending the maturity date(s) significantly, or providing a lower interest rate than would be normally available for a transaction of similar risk. As a result of these concessions, restructured loans are impaired as we will not collect all amounts due, either principal or interest, in accordance with the terms of the original loan agreement. Specific reserves on non-collateral dependent restructured loans are measured by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows of the restructured loans, discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan agreement. These specific reserves are recognized as a specific component to be provided for in the ALLL.

 

There were no new troubled debt restructurings during the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, we had 118 restructured loans that qualified as troubled debt restructurings, of which 110 were performing according to their restructured terms.
