(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Bank Mutual Corporation (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary Bank Mutual (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s subsidiaries.

 

The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and the instructions to Form 10-Q. The financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial information. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of operations, cash flows, and financial position have been included in the accompanying financial statements. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017.

 

In 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. In 2015 the FASB deferred the effective date one year from the date in the original guidance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which will be the first quarter of 2019 for the Company. The Company’s adoption of this item is not expected to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

 

In 2016 the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to certain aspects of the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. For public companies the guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which will be the first quarter of 2018 for the Company. Early application of some aspects of the new guidance is also permitted, although the Company does not intend to adopt the guidance early. The Company’s eventual adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

 

In 2016 the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the accounting for lease assets and liabilities. For public companies the guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which will be the first quarter of 2019 for the Company. The Company’s adoption of this item is not expected to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

 

In 2016 the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The new guidance replaces the current methodology of measuring credit losses based on incurred losses at the balance sheet date with a methodology that measures credit losses based on the current estimate of expected credit losses. For the Company this guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, which will be the first quarter of 2020. Management has not completed the complex analysis required to determine the impact that adoption of this new guidance could have on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In 2017 the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to improving the presentation of net periodic pension costs and net periodic postretirement benefit costs. For the Company this guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which will be the first quarter of 2018. The Company’s adoption of this item is not expected to have a material impact on its results of operations.

The Company determined that the unrealized losses on its mortgage-related securities were temporary as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is unlikely that it will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. The Company believes it is probable that it will receive all future contractual cash flows related to these securities. This determination was based on management’s judgment regarding the nature of the loan collateral that supports the securities, a review of the current ratings issued on the securities by various credit rating agencies, recent trends in the fair market values of the securities and, in the case of private-label collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), a review of the actual delinquency and/or default performance of the loan collateral that supports the securities.

 

As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company had private-label CMOs, with a fair value of $10,660 and $11,625, respectively, and unrealized gains (losses) of $(10) and $37, respectively that were rated less than investment grade. These private-label CMOs were analyzed using modeling techniques that considered the priority of cash flows in the CMO structure and various default and loss rate scenarios that management considered appropriate given the nature of the loan collateral.

The Company adjusts certain factors used to determine the allowance for loan losses on loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. Management considered these adjustments necessary and prudent in light of trends in net charge-offs, real estate values, economic conditions, and unemployment. The Company estimates that these changes, as well as overall changes in the balance of loans to which these factors were applied, resulted in an increase in the total allowance for loan losses of $642 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, and a decrease of $489 during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Loans rated “pass” or “watch” are generally current on contractual loan and principal payments and comply with other contractual loan terms. Pass loans generally have no noticeable credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses. Loans rated watch, however, will typically exhibit early signs of credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. Loans rated “special mention” do not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant a lower rating, but possess clear trends in credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. The allowance for loan losses on loans rated pass, watch, or special mention is typically evaluated collectively for impairment using a homogenous pool approach. This approach utilizes quantitative factors developed by management from its assessment of historical loss experience, qualitative factors, and other considerations.

 

Loans rated “substandard” involve a distinct possibility that the Company could sustain some loss if deficiencies associated with the loan are not corrected. Loans rated “doubtful” indicate that full collection is highly questionable or improbable. The Company did not have any loans that were rated doubtful at March 31, 2017, or December 31, 2016. Loans rated substandard or doubtful that are also considered in management’s judgment to be impaired are generally analyzed individually to determine an appropriate allowance for loan loss. A loan rated “loss” is considered uncollectible, even if a partial recovery could be expected in the future. The Company generally charges off loans that are rated as a loss. As such, the Company did not have any loans that were rated loss at March 31, 2017, or December 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, $253 and $295 in student loans, respectively, were 90-days past due, but remained on accrual status because such loans were originated under programs guaranteed by the federal government. No other loans 90-days past due were in accrual status as of either date.

 

The Company classifies a loan modification as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when it has granted a borrower experiencing financial difficulties a concession that it would otherwise not consider. Loan modifications that result in insignificant delays in the receipt of payments (generally six months or less) are not considered TDRs under the Company’s TDR policy. TDRs are relatively insignificant and/or infrequent in the Company and generally consist of loans placed in interest-only status for a short period of time or payment forbearance for greater than six months. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, TDRs were $5,669 and $5,772, respectively, and consisted primarily of commercial and industrial and one- to four-family mortgage loans. TDRs in accrual status as of those same dates were $2,743 and $2,815, respectively. Additions to TDRs during the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, were immaterial. In addition, TDRs that experienced a payment default within one year of their restructuring during these same three and twelve month periods were also immaterial. TDRs are evaluated for impairment and appropriate credit losses are recorded in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies and GAAP.

7. Borrowings (continued)

 

As discussed in Note 12, “Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Derivative Financial Instruments,” the Company has entered into cash flow hedges using interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk exposure associated with certain forecasted borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago. Two advances maturing in April 2017 of $10,000 each have corresponding pay-fixed interest rate swaps that mature in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Although these advances have stated interest rates of 0.72%, they have effective interest rates including the impact of the interest rate swaps of 0.95% and 1.21%, respectively. However, these advances have been included in the table, above, at their contractual rates and maturities. If they had been included in the table at their hedge-adjusted rates and maturities, the advances reported as maturing in 2018 and 2019 would have each been $10,000 higher and the weighted average rates for those maturity years would have been 1.40% and 2.38% as of March 31, 2017, respectively. Furthermore, the weighted average rate reported for total borrowings would have been 1.39% as of the same date.

 

The Company is required to pledge certain unencumbered mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities as collateral against its outstanding advances from the FHLB of Chicago. Advances are also collateralized by the shares of capital stock of the FHLB of Chicago that are owned by the Company. The Company’s borrowings at the FHLB of Chicago are limited to the lesser of: (i) 35% of total assets; (ii) 22.2 times the FHLB of Chicago capital stock owned by the Company; or (iii) the total of 73% of the book value of one- to four-family mortgage loans, 73% of the book value of certain multi-family mortgage loans, 51% of the book value of certain home equity loans, and 98% of the fair value of certain mortgage-related securities.

8. Regulatory Capital Requirements

 

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies and as defined in applicable regulations. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company and the Bank met or exceeded all regulatory capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. The following table presents the Company and the Bank’s actual and required regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of the dates indicated.

9. Earnings Per Share

 

The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:

 

   Three Months Ended
March 31
 
   2017   2016 
         
Net income  $3,640   $4,473 
Weighted average shares outstanding   45,377,679    45,069,389 
Vested restricted stock for period   120,238    91,542 
Basic shares outstanding   45,497,917    45,160,931 
Net dilutive effect of:          
Stock option shares   485,413    385,695 
Non-vested restricted stock   73,913    47,188 
Diluted shares outstanding   46,057,243    45,593,814 
Basic earnings per share  $0.08   $0.10 
Diluted earnings per share  $0.08   $0.10 

 

The Company had stock options for 82,000 and 366,000 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. These options had weighted average exercise prices of $11.69 and $8.16 per share as of those dates, respectively.

 

10. Employee Benefit Plans

 

The Company has a discretionary, defined contribution savings plan (the “Savings Plan”). The Savings Plan is qualified under Sections 401 and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and provides employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements the ability to make contributions to the Savings Plan on a pretax basis. The Company then matches a percentage of the employee’s contributions. Matching contributions expensed by the Company were $333 and $215 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

The Company also has a qualified defined benefit pension plan covering employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements and a supplemental defined benefit pension plan for certain eligible employees. The supplemental pension plan is funded through a "rabbi trust" arrangement. The benefits under these plans are generally based on the employee’s years of service and average annual wages, as defined in the plan. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute annually the amount necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In prior periods the Company closed the qualified defined benefit pension plan to new participants and froze the benefits of all existing participants. These changes resulted in the future benefits under the Company’s supplemental defined benefit pension plan also being effectively frozen.

 

The following table summarizes the qualified plan’s net periodic benefit cost for the periods indicated:

 

   Three Months Ended 
   March 31 
   2017   2016 
Service cost        
Interest cost  $647   $669 
Expected return on plan assets   (801)   (861)
Amortization of net loss from earlier periods   70    57 
Net periodic benefit cost  $(84)  $(135)

10. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)

 

The net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s supplemental plan was $105 and $119 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The amount in 2017 consisted of interest cost of $85 and amortization of net loss from earlier periods of $20. The amount in 2016 consisted of interest cost of $93 and amortization of net loss from earlier periods of $26. The amount of the 2017 contribution, if any, will be determined based on a number of factors, including the results of an actuarial valuation report as of January 1, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the amount of the 2017 contribution, if any, was unknown. No contribution is necessary for the supplemental pension plan.

 

11. Stock-Based Benefit Plans

 

In 2004 the Company’s shareholders approved the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”). Options and restricted stock granted under the 2004 Plan vested over five years and options had expiration terms of ten years. The 2004 Plan terminated in 2014 in accordance with the terms of the plan. Options awarded under the 2004 Plan will remain outstanding until, exercised, forfeited, or expired.

 

In 2014 the Company’s shareholders approved the 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, and cash awards. Stock-related awards under the 2014 Plan vest over a period of three or more years and, if applicable, have a maximum term of ten years. The number of shares of common stock of the Company that may be issued under the 2014 Plan is limited to 3,000,000 shares. As of March 31, 2017, 2,372,560 shares remain eligible for award under the 2014 Plan.

 

Restricted stock grants are amortized to compensation expense as the Company’s employees and directors become vested in the granted shares. The amount amortized to expense was $347 and $275 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Outstanding non-vested restricted stock grants had a fair value of $2,728 and an unamortized cost of $2,272 at March 31, 2017. The cost of these shares is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.02 years.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded stock option compensation expense of $73 and $91, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, there was $360 in total unrecognized stock option compensation expense related to non-vested options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.79 years.

There were 120,300 options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2017, which had an intrinsic value was $701. There were 2,000 options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which had an intrinsic value of $5. The weighted average grant date fair value of non-vested options at March 31, 2017, was $1.96 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, no options were granted, 174,295 options became vested, and 3,500 non-vested options were forfeited.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of granted options. This model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. However, the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from traded options and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Option valuation models such as Black-Scholes require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility, which is computed using ten years of actual price activity in the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data of employee behavior as a basis to estimate the expected life of the options, as well as forfeitures due to employee terminations. The Company also uses its actual dividend yield at the time of the grant, as well as actual U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant to estimate the risk-free rate. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value 56,300 options granted during the three month period ended March 31, 2016: risk free rate of 1.80%, dividend yield of 2.74%, expected stock volatility of 31%, and expected term to exercise of 7.5 years. These options had a weighted-average value of $2.28 per option using these assumptions. No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

12. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The contract amounts reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments and also represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and generally require payment of a fee. As some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates the collateral needed and creditworthiness of each customer on a case by case basis. The Company generally extends credit only on a secured basis. Collateral obtained varies, but consists principally of one- to four-family residences.

 

Off-balance sheet financial instruments or obligations whose contract amounts represent credit and/or interest rate are summarized in the following table as of the dates indicated:

 

   March 31   December 31 
   2017   2016 
Unused commercial lines of credit  $181,801   $177,672 
Commercial loans   3,183    3,709 
Standby letters of credit   7,292    7,821 
Real estate loan commitments:          
Fixed rate   22,189    34,074 
Adjustable rate   246,114    303,546 
Unused consumer lines of credit   162,373    160,898 

 

The Company sells substantially all of its long-term, fixed-rate, one- to four-family loan originations in the secondary market. The Company uses interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and forward commitments to sell loans to manage interest rate risk associated with its loan sales activities, both of which are considered to be free-standing derivative financial instruments under GAAP. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized currently through earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, net unrealized gains of $121 and $76, respectively, were recognized in net gain on loan sales activities on these derivative instruments. These amounts were exclusive of net unrealized gains (losses) of $(61) and $40 on loans held-for-sale as of those dates, respectively, which were also included in net gain on loan sales activities.

 

The Company enters into interest rate swap arrangements to manage the interest rate risk exposure associated with specific commercial loan relationships at the time such loans are originated. These interest rate swaps, as well as the embedded derivatives associated with certain of its commercial loan relationships, are free-standing derivative instruments under GAAP. As such, changes in the fair value of these free-standing derivative instruments are recognized currently through earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, net unrealized gains of $3,079 and $368, respectively, and net losses of $3,079 and $368, respectively, related to interest rate swaps and embedded derivatives were recorded in loan-related fees.

 

The Company also enters into interest rate swap arrangements to manage the interest rate risk exposure associated with certain forecasted borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago. These interest rate swaps have been designated as forecasted transaction cash flow hedges by management (refer to Note 7, “Borrowings”). As such, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of these derivatives is recorded in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion was recorded in interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 34 and $(158) in unrealized gain (loss) net of tax related to interest rate swaps was recorded in other comprehensive income, respectively. There was no ineffective portion of this hedge for either period.

13. Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value measurements based on the observability of those inputs. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), the next highest priority is given to prices based on models, methodologies, and/or management judgments that rely on direct or indirect observable inputs (Level 2), and the lowest priority to prices derived from models, methodologies, and/or management judgments that rely on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between categories of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

The methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments, whether or not such fair values are recognized in the consolidated financial statements, are summarized below:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values. The Company considers the fair value of cash and cash equivalents to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

13. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

Mortgage-Related Securities Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Fair values for these securities are based on price estimates obtained from a third-party independent pricing service. This service utilizes pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid, ask, and other market information of comparable instruments. For structured securities, such as CMOs, the pricing models include cash flow estimates that consider the impact of loan performance data, including, but not limited to, expectations relating to loan prepayments, default rates, and loss severities. Management has reviewed the pricing methodology used by its pricing service to verify that prices are determined in accordance with the fair value guidance specified in GAAP. The Company considers the fair value of mortgage-related securities to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Loans Receivable Loans receivable are segregated by type such as one- to four-family, multi-family, and commercial real estate mortgage loans, consumer loans, and commercial business loans. The fair value of each type is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the expected maturity of the loans using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan type. The estimated maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with prepayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. The Company considers the fair value of loans receivable to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights The Company estimates the fair market value of MSRs for those loans that are sold with servicing rights retained. For valuation purposes, the related loans are stratified into pools by product type and, within product type, by interest rates. The fair value of the MSR pools is based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows using current market assumptions for prepayments, servicing cost, and other factors. The Company considers the fair value of MSRs to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

The following table summarizes the significant inputs utilized by the Company to estimate the fair value of its MSRs as of March 31, 2017:

 

   Weighted-
Average
     Range 
Loan size  $114    $1.3-$424 
Contractual interest rate   3.66%   2.50%-7.10% 
Constant prepayment rate (“CPR”)   7.23%   1.37%-20.99% 
Remaining maturity in months   213    3-480 
Servicing fee   0.25%    
Annual servicing cost per loan (not in thousands)  $60     
Annual ancillary income per loan (not in thousands)  $30     
Discount rate   9.54%   9.50%-11.25% 

 

MSR pools with an amortized cost basis greater than fair value are carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. There were no pools determined to be impaired at March 31, 2017, or December 31, 2016. Accordingly, the Company had no valuation allowance as of March 31, 2017, or December 31, 2016.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock FHLB of Chicago stock is carried at cost, which is its redeemable (fair) value, since the market for this stock is restricted. The Company considers the fair value of FHLB of Chicago stock to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable The carrying values of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their fair value. The Company considers the fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Deposit Liabilities and Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance Fair value for demand deposits equal book value. The Company considers the fair value of demand deposits to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for certificates of deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current market borrowing interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on deposits. The Company considers the fair value of certificates of deposit to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance are equal to their carrying amounts at the reporting date. The Company considers the fair value of advance payment by borrowers to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

13. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

Borrowings The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow calculations with the discount rates equal to interest rates currently being offered for borrowings with similar terms and maturities. The carrying value on short-term borrowings approximates fair value. The Company considers the fair value of borrowings to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments Off-balance sheet financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit, IRLCs, forward commitments to sell loans, interest rate swaps, and embedded derivatives related to certain commercial loan relationships. Commitments to extend credit that are not IRLCs generally carry variable rates of interest. As such, the fair value of these instruments is not material. The Company considers the fair value of these instruments to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of IRLCs, forward commitments to sell loans, interest rate swaps, and embedded derivatives is equal to their fair value. For IRLCs and forward commitments, the fair value is the difference between the current market prices for securities collateralized by similar loans and the notional amounts of the IRLCs and forward commitments. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps and embedded derivatives is determined using discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative and also includes a nonperformance or credit risk component. The Company considers the fair value of IRLCs, forward commitments to sell loans, interest rate swaps, and embedded derivatives to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are presented in the following table as of the indicated dates.

13. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

The following table segregates by fair value hierarchy (i.e., Level 1, 2, or 3) all of the Company's assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

 

   At March 31, 2017 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Loans held-for-sale      $1,971       $1,971 
Mortgage-related securities available-for-sale       380,101        380,101 

 

   At December 31, 2016 
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Loans held-for-sale      $5,952       $5,952 
Mortgage-related securities available-for-sale       371,880        371,880 

 

Impaired Loans For non-accrual loans greater than an established threshold and individually evaluated for impairment and all renegotiated loans, impairment is measured based on: (i) the fair value of the loan or the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs (collectively the “collateral value method”) or (ii) the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate (the “discounted cash flow method”). The resulting valuation allowance, if any, is a component of the allowance for loan losses. The discounted cash flow method is a fair value measure. For the collateral value method, the Company generally obtains appraisals on a periodic basis to support the fair value of collateral underlying the loans. Appraisals are performed by independent certified and/or licensed appraisers that have been reviewed by the Company and incorporate information such as recent sales prices for comparable properties, costs of construction, and net operating income of the property or business. Selling costs are generally estimated at 10%. Appraised values may be further discounted based on management judgment regarding changes in market conditions and other factors since the time of the appraisal. A significant unobservable input in using net operating income to estimate fair value is the capitalization rate. At March 31, 2017, the range of capitalization rates utilized to determine the fair value of the underlying collateral on certain loans was 5.5% to 11.5%. The Company considers these fair values to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. For those loans individually evaluated for impairment using the collateral value method, a valuation allowance of $198 was recorded for loans with a recorded investment of $25,471 at March 31, 2017. These amounts were $158 and $22,466 at December 31, 2016, respectively. Provision for (recovery of) loan losses related to these loans was of $41 during the three month period ended March 31, 2017, and $(168) during the three month period ended March 31, 2016. Provision for loan losses related to these loans was of $158 during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2016.

 

Foreclosed Properties Foreclosed properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. In determining fair value, the Company generally obtains appraisals to support the fair value of foreclosed properties, as described in the previous paragraph. In certain instances, the Company may also use the selling list price, less estimated costs to sell, as the fair value of foreclosed properties. In such instances, the list price is generally less than the appraised value. The Company considers these fair values to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2017, $1,200 in foreclosed properties was valued at collateral value compared to $1,882 at December 31, 2016. Losses of $17 and $37 related to these foreclosed properties were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017, and March 31, 2016, respectively. Losses on foreclosed properties valued at collateral value at December 31, 2016, were $197 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.

Results of Operations

 

Overview The Company reported net income of $3.6 million or $0.08 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $4.5 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the same quarter of 2016. This decrease was due in part to a $717,000 provision for loan loss in the 2017 quarter compared to a recovery of $573,000 in the same quarter of last year. Also contributing were lower loan-related fees, lower brokerage, advisory, and insurance revenue, lower mortgage banking revenue, and higher compensation- and occupancy-related expenses. These developments were largely offset by an improvement in net interest income, lower deposit insurance premiums, and lower other non-interest expense. The following paragraphs describe these changes in greater detail, along with other matters affecting the Company’s results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Net Interest Income The Company’s net interest income increased by $904,000 or 5.1% during the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter in 2016. However, included in the prior-year quarter was a $482,000 call premium that the Company received on a mortgage-related security that was called during the period. Excluding this call premium, net interest income in the first quarter of 2017 increased by $1.4 million or 8.1% compared to the same quarter in 2016. Most of this increase was due to an increase in the Company’s average earning assets, which increased by $157.7 million or 6.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans receivable. Contributing to a lesser degree to the increase in net interest income in the 2017 period was an improvement in the Company’s net interest margin, excluding the impact of the aforementioned call premium in the 2016 period. Finally, contributing to the increase in net interest income was an increase in funding from non-interest bearing checking accounts.

 

The Company’s net interest margin was 3.02% during the first quarter of 2017 compared to 2.99% during the first quarter of 2016 (excluding eight basis points of benefit related to the aforementioned call premium). In recent months management has noted that the Company’s net interest margin has begun to improve modestly. Specifically, the 3.02% net interest margin in the first quarter of 2017 compares to 3.00% in the fourth quarter of 2016 (also excluding three basis points related to a call premium in that quarter). Management has observed in recent months that increases in the yield on the Company’s earning assets have been slightly greater than the increases in its cost of funds. This has occurred in an environment of rising interest rates, due in part to recent increases in the fed funds rate by the Federal Reserve. Management attributes the modest increases in the Company’s net interest margin to an overall interest rate risk exposure that it is slightly asset sensitive. That is, management believes that the sensitivity of the Company’s earning assets to changes in market interest rates is slightly greater than its interest-bearing liabilities. As such, management anticipates that the Company’s net interest margin may continue to show slight improvement in the foreseeable future, although there can be no assurances.

 

The Company’s net interest margin is subject to competitive pricing pressures for loans and deposits, changes in borrower and depositor preferences, and other economic and market factors that are outside of management’s control. Of particular concern to management are possible future changes in the competitive environment for interest rates on interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market demand accounts. If competitive or market pressures require the Company to increase the interest rates it pays on these deposit accounts, and such increases are not exceeded or matched by increases in the yield on its earning assets, the Company’s net interest margin could be adversely impacted in future periods. Also of concern to management are possible future changes in depositor preferences for certain types of deposit products. Specifically, management believes that the relatively low interest rate environment that has persisted for the past few years has encouraged many deposit customers to switch to transaction deposits in an effort to retain flexibility in the event market interest rates increase. If market interest rates continue to increase in the future, customers’ preferences may shift from transaction deposits to certificates of deposit, which generally have a higher interest cost. This development could also have an adverse impact on the Company’s net interest margin in future periods.

The following table presents certain details regarding the Company's average balance sheet and net interest income for the periods indicated. The tables present the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. The average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. Interest income includes fees, which are considered adjustments to yields. Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is derived by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. The Company’s tax exempt investments are insignificant, so no tax equivalent adjustments have been made.

Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses The Company’s provision for loan losses was $717,000 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to a recovery of $573,000 in the same quarter last year. Management believes that general economic, employment, and real estate conditions have remained relatively stable in the Company’s local markets. However, the Company has experienced a modest increase in its non-performing and other classified loans in recent months, as noted later in this report (refer to “Finanical Condition—Asset Quality,” below). Management believes that this development could be an early indication of emerging difficulties in the lending environment. This consideration, along with growth in the Company’s loan portfolio, has contributed to management’s conclusion that increases in the allowance for loan losses are appropriate. As such, the Company’s allowance for loan losses increased from $19.9 million at December 31, 2016, to $20.6 million at March 31, 2017. Management anticipates that the Company’s provision for loan losses will continue to consist of provisions rather than recoveries for the foreseeable future, particularly if the Company’s loan portfolio continues to grow.

 

Trends in the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio are subject to many factors that are outside of the Company’s control, such as economic and market conditions that can fluctuate considerably from period to period. As such, there can be no assurances that there will not be significant fluctuations in the Company’s non-performing loans, classified loans, and/or loan charge-off activity from period to period, which may result in significant variability in the Company’s provision for loan losses.

 

Non-Interest Income Total non-interest income decreased by $807,000 or 12.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. Significant reasons for the changes in the components of non-interest income are discussed in the following paragraphs.

 

 35

 

 

Deposit-related fees and charges declined by $51,000 or 1.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in the previous year. Deposit-related fees and charges consist of overdraft fees, ATM and debit card fees, merchant processing fees, account service charges, and other revenue items related to services performed by the Company for its retail and commercial deposit customers. Management attributes the decline in deposit-related fees and charges to changes in customer spending behavior in recent periods which has resulted in lower revenue from overdraft charges and ATM usage. These developments have been partially offset by increased deposit account service charges and increased treasury management fees from commercial depositors.

 

Loan-related fees were $851,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $1.3 million during the same period in 2016. Loan-related fees consist of periodic income from lending activities that are not deferred as yield adjustments under the applicable accounting rules. The largest source of fees in this revenue category is interest rate swap fees related to commercial loan relationships. The Company mitigates the interest rate risk associated with certain of its loan relationships by executing interest rate swaps, the accounting for which results in the recognition of a certain amount of fee income at the time the swap contracts are executed. The decrease in loan-related fees was principally due to reduced originations of multi-family, commercial real estate, and construction loans, which are the types of loans that generate most of the Company’s interest rate swap fees. Management anticipates that originations of these types of loans in 2017 will continue to be lower than they were in 2016 for the reason noted later in this report.

 

Brokerage, advisory, and insurance revenue was $652,000 during the first quarter of 2017, which was $215,000 or 24.8% lower than the same quarter in the previous year. This revenue item generally consists of commissions earned on sales of tax-deferred annuities, mutual funds, and certain other securities, fees earned for investment advisory services, and commissions earned on sales of personal and business insurance products. Management attributes the decrease in this revenue line item to reduced commissions from sales of tax-deferred annuities and other sources of transaction-based income. In recent periods management has begun to shift the mix of revenue in this line of business from commission income, which tends to be transaction-based, to advisory fee income, which is generally based on assets under management rather than execution of individual transactions. Management believes that advisory-based fee income will be a more stable source of revenue in the future and expects that it will continue to grow due to new products, services, systems, and investment advisors that the Company has added in recent periods, although there can be no assurances.

 

Mortgage banking revenue, net, was $721,000 and $825,000 during three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The following table presents the components of mortgage banking revenue, net, for the periods indicated:

 

   Three Months Ended
March 31
 
   2017   2016 
   (Dollars in thousands) 
Gross loan servicing fees  $620   $646 
MSR amortization   (332)   (433)
Change in MSR valuation allowance        
Loan servicing revenue, net   288    213 
Gain on loan sales activities, net   433    612 
Mortgage banking revenue, net  $721   $825 

 

Loan servicing revenue, net, was $288,000 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $213,000 in the same period of 2016. This increase was primarily caused by a decline in amortization of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). This decline was caused by generally higher market interest rates for one- to four-family loans in 2017, which has resulted in reduced loan prepayment activity and slower amortization of the related MSRs compared to the prior year. The favorable impact of this development was partially offset by a decline in gross servicing fees due to an overall decline in loans serviced for third-party investors. As of March 31, 2017, the Company serviced $985.4 million in loans for third-party investors compared to $1.03 billion one year earlier.

 

 36

 

 

The change in valuation allowance that the Company establishes against its MSRs is recorded as a recovery or loss, as the case may be, in the period in which the change occurs. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had no valuation allowance against its MSRs, which had a carrying value of $6.5 million as of that date. MSR valuation allowances typically increase in periods of lower market interest rates, which results in a charge to earnings in the period of the increase. During such periods loan refinance activity and expectations for future loan prepayments typically increase, which generally reduces the fair value of MSRs and could result in an increase in the MSR valuation allowance. However, in recent months market interest rates for one- to four-family loans have increased. As such, there was no requirement for an MSR valuation allowance as of March 31, 2017, and management does not expect one to be necessary in the near future. In addition, management expects that amortization of MSRs may continue to be lower in the near term in response to reduced levels of loan refinance activity. However, these developments cannot be assured, particularly if market interest rates for one- to four-family residential loans decline in the future.

 

Gain on loan sales activities, net, was $433,000 and $612,000 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company typically sells most of the fixed-rate, one- to four-family mortgage loans that it originates. The decrease in net gain on loan sales was primarily caused by an unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment on loans held for sale, which declined during the period. Market interest rates for one- to four-family loans have been higher in recent months, which is a development that typically has an adverse impact on the origination and sale of such loans. Despite this possibility, management believes that the Company’s origination and sales of one- to four-family loans could improve in the near term due to continued strength in housing markets in Wisconsin, increases in the number and quality of the Company’s residential loan originators, and continued improvements in the Company’s loan origination systems and procedures. However, the origination and sale of residential loans is subject to variations in market interest rates and other factors outside of management’s control. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that such originations and sales will increase or will not vary considerably from period to period.

 

Non-Interest Expense Total non-interest expense increased by $516,000 or 3.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. Significant reasons for the changes in the components of non-interest expense are discussed in the following paragraphs.

 

Compensation-related expenses increased by $762,000 or 7.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was due in part to normal annual merit increases granted to most employees at the beginning of 2017. Also contributing were certain signing bonuses and commission guarantees that the Company paid to a team of four experienced residential loan originators that it recruited from another financial institution during the quarter. Finally, contributing to a lesser degree to the increase in compensation-related expense in the 2017 quarter was higher share-based compensation and employer 401k contributions compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

 

Occupancy, equipment, and data processing expenses increased by $210,000 or 5.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily caused by increased data processing, software, and equipment costs associated with various initiatives undertaken by the Company in recent periods.

 

Advertising and marketing-related expense was $551,000 and $585,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Management anticipates that spending on advertising and marketing-related expenses during the full year 2017 will be slightly lower than it was in 2016. However, this outcome depends on future management decisions and there can be no assurances.

 

 37

 

 

Federal deposit insurance premiums were $328,000 and $422,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In 2016 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) implemented a new rule that changed how insured financial institutions less than $10 billion in assets, such as the Company, are assessed for deposit insurance. The new rule has resulted in a lower deposit insurance assessment rate for the Company.

 

Net losses and expenses on foreclosed real estate were $54,000 and $42,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In general, the Company has experienced only modest losses and expenses on foreclosed real estate in recent periods due to low levels of foreclosed properties and improved market conditions.

 

Other non-interest expense was $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $2.4 million in the same quarter of last year. The 2016 quarter included $207,000 in prepayment penalties related to the early retirement of certain fixed-rate advances from FHLB of Chicago.

 

In April the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell five retail branch offices, including $52.6 million in deposits and $13.2 million in loans associated with the offices, to another financial institution. In addition, the Company announced that it will consolidate two retail branch offices into other nearby locations. These two offices have aggregate deposits and loans of $19.1 million and $9.6 million, respectively. The Company expects the pending sale to close in the third quarter and expects to complete the consolidations in June. Consistent with its past experience consolidating retail branch offices, management of the Company believes that it will retain the majority of the deposits and loans associated with the two consolidated locations, although there can be no assurances. Once fully implemented, management anticipates that the decisions to sell and consolidate retail branch offices will provide approximately $1.3 million in aggregate net benefit to pre-tax earnings on an annualized basis. Also related to these decisions, the Company expects to incur one-time costs of approximately $250,000, composed primarily of asset disposition costs, employment severance costs, data processing costs, and professional fees, $71,000 of which were recorded in the first quarter. The remainder is expected to be recorded in the third quarter. The sale and branch consolidations are subject to the filing of appropriate notices with and/or approvals of regulatory agencies. After the sales and consolidations, the Company will operate 57 banking locations in Wisconsin and one in Minnesota.

 

Income Tax Expense Income tax expense was $1.7 million and $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rates (“ETRs”) for these periods were 31.8% and 36.5%, respectively. The ETR was lower in the 2017 period because of certain tax deductions related to the vesting of restricted stock grants and exercise of certain stock options by employees and directors. The Company’s ETR will also vary from period to period due to the impact of non-taxable revenue items, such as earnings from BOLI and tax-exempt interest income.

 

Financial Condition

 

Overview The Company’s total assets increased by $19.8 million or 0.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2017. During this period a $25.2 million increase in loans receivable was funded by a $37.8 million increase in deposit liabilities, which also funded a $15.8 million decrease in borrowings. The Company’s total shareholders’ equity was $288.4 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $286.6 million at December 31, 2016. The following paragraphs describe these changes in greater detail, as well as other changes in the Company’s financial condition during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Mortgage-Related Securities Available-for-Sale The Company’s portfolio of mortgage-related securities available-for-sale increased by $8.2 million or 2.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2017. This increase was principally due to the purchase of $35.6 million in securities intended by management to maintain the available-for-sale portfolio at a level considered sufficient to sustain liquidity on the Company’s balance sheet. The impact of these purchases was partially offset by normal periodic repayments.

 

 38

 

 

Changes in the fair value of the Company’s mortgage-related securities available-for-sale are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of deferred income taxes), which is a component of shareholders’ equity. The fair value adjustment on the Company’s mortgage-related securities available-for-sale was a net unrealized loss of $905,000 at March 31, 2017, compared to a net unrealized loss of $526,000 at December 31, 2016. This increase was caused by an increase in short- to intermediate-term market interest rates during the period, which had an unfavorable impact on the fair value of the Company’s mortgage-related securities.

 

Mortgage-Related Securities Held-to-Maturity The Company maintains a portfolio of mortgage-related securities held-to-maturity that consists of securities issued and guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and backed by multi-family residential loans. The Company has classified these securities has held-to-maturity because it has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they mature. The Company’s portfolio of mortgage-related securities held-to-maturity decreased by $512,000 or 0.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company did not purchase any held-to-maturity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Loans Held-for-Sale The Company’s policy is to sell substantially all of its fixed-rate, one- to four-family mortgage loan originations in the secondary market. Loans held-for-sale were $2.0 million and $6.0 million at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. Refer to “Results of Operations—Non-Interest Income,” above, for additional discussion related to the Company’s originations and sales of one- to four-family mortgage loans in the secondary market.

 

Loans Receivable The Company’s loans receivable increased by $25.2 million or 1.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2017. During this period increases in multi-family loans, commercial and industrial loans, and construction loans (net of the undisbursed portion) were partially offset by declines in the Company’s other loan categories. The loan portfolio is subject to economic, market, competitive, and regulatory factors outside of the Company’s control and there can be no assurances that expected loan growth will continue or that total loans will not decrease in future periods.

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s commercial and retail loans that were originated for portfolio during the periods indicated:

As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s holdings of, and three-year growth rate in non-owner occupied commercial real estate and construction loans exceeded guidelines issued by banking regulatory agencies, as previously disclosed in prior filings. As such, management expects that the aggregate future growth rate for these loan types will be managed to more closely approximate growth in the total risk-based capital of the Bank.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights The carrying value of the Company’s MSRs was $6.5 million at March 31, 2017, and $6.6 million at December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company maintained no valuation allowance against its MSRs as of either of those dates. As of March 31, 2017, the Company serviced $985.4 million in loans for third-party investors compared to $997.0 million at December 31, 2016. Refer to “Results of Operations—Non-Interest Income,” above, for additional discussion related to the Company’s MSRs.

 

Deposit Liabilities The Company’s deposit liabilities increased by $37.8 million or 2.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Transaction deposits, which consist of checking, savings, and money market accounts, increased by $33.6 million or 2.5% during the period and certificates of deposit increased by $4.2 million or 0.8%. Management believes that the increase in transaction deposits in recent periods, particularly the increase in non-interest-bearing checking accounts, is due in part to improved marketing and sales efforts. However, management also believes that the generally low interest rate environment that has persisted for the past few years has encouraged some customers to switch to transaction deposits in an effort to retain flexibility in the event interest rates increase in the future. As previously noted, if interest rates continue to increase in the future, customer preference may shift from transaction deposits back to certificates of deposit, which typically have a higher interest cost to the Company This development could increase the Company’s cost of funds in the future, which would also have an adverse impact on its net interest margin.

 

Borrowings Borrowings, which consist of advances from the FHLB of Chicago, decreased by $15.8 million or 3.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2017. During this period increases in deposit liabilities, as previously described, were used to fund a decrease in overnight borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago. Management believes that additional funds are available to be borrowed from the FHLB of Chicago or other sources in the future to fund maturing term advances, loan originations, security purchases, and other corporate purposes, if needed or desirable. However, there can be no assurances of the future availability of borrowings or any particular level of future borrowings.

 

Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance (i.e., escrow deposits) were $13.4 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2016. Escrow deposits typically increase during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid, generally in December of each year.

 

Shareholders' Equity The Company’s shareholders’ equity was $288.4 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $286.6 million at December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily due to $3.6 million in net income that was only partially offset by $2.5 million in regular cash dividends. Contributing to a lesser degree to the increase was periodic amortization related to share-based compensation and issuance of treasury shares on stock option exercises. The book value of the Company’s common stock was $6.28 per share at March 31, 2017, compared to $6.27 at December 31, 2016.

 

On May 1, 2017, the Company’s board of directors declared a $0.055 per share dividend payable on May 29, 2017, to shareholders of record on May 12, 2017. On February 6, 2017, the Company’s board of directors approved a plan to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its common stock. This plan replaced a previous plan that had expired. The Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2017. For additional discussion relating to the Company’s ability to pay dividends or repurchase its common stock refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Resources,” below.

(1)Consists of student loans that are guaranteed under programs sponsored by the U.S. government.
(2)Amounts shown are for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

The Company’s non-performing loans were $8.9 million or 0.45% of loans receivable as of March 31, 2017, compared to $8.2 million or 0.42% of loans receivable as of December 31, 2016. Non-performing assets, which includes non-performing loans, were $10.9 million or 0.41% of total assets and $11.2 million or 0.42% of total assets as of these same dates, respectively. Non-performing assets are classified as “substandard” in accordance with the Company’s internal risk rating policy. In addition to non-performing assets, at March 31, 2017, management was closely monitoring $71.4 million in additional loans that were classified as either “special mention” or “substandard” in accordance with the Company’s internal risk rating policy. This amount compared to $68.6 million at December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, most of these additional classified loans were secured by commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, land, and certain commercial business assets. Management does not believe any of these loans were impaired as of March 31, 2017, although there can be no assurances that the loans will not become impaired in future periods.

 

Trends in the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio are subject to many factors that are outside of the Company’s control, such as economic and market conditions. As such, there can be no assurances that there will not be significant fluctuations in the Company’s non-performing assets and/or classified loans in future periods or that there will not be significant variability in the Company’s provision for loan losses from period to period.

A summary of the Company’s allowance for loan losses is shown below for the periods indicated:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31 
   2017   2016 
   (Dollars in thousands) 
Balance at beginning of period  $19,940   $17,641

   March 31   December 31 
   2017   2016 
Allowance for loan losses to total loans   1.05%   1.03%
Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans   232.65%   242.46%
Net charge-offs to average loans (annualized)   0.01%   0.04%

 

The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $20.6 million or 1.05% of total loans at March 31, 2017, compared to $19.9 million or 1.03% of total loans at December 31, 2016. As a percent of non-performing loans, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was 232.7% at March 31, 2017, compared to 242.5% at December 31, 2016. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2017, was adequate to cover probable and estimable losses in the Company’s loan portfolio as of that date. However, future increases to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if future conditions differ from the assumptions used by management to determine the allowance for loan losses as of the end of the period.

 

Management is responsible for the timely and periodic determination of the amount of the allowance required. Future provisions for loan losses will continue to be based upon management’s assessment of the overall loan portfolio and the underlying collateral, trends in non-performing loans, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. To the best of management’s knowledge, all known and inherent losses have been provided for in the allowance for loan losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity The term "liquidity" refers to the Company’s ability to generate cash flow to fund loan originations, loan purchases, deposit withdrawals, and operating expenses. The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposit liabilities, scheduled payments, prepayments, and maturities of loans and mortgage-related securities, sales of one- to four-family loans in the secondary market, borrowings from the FHLB of Chicago, and cash flow provided by the Company’s operations. From time-to-time the Company may also sell securities classified as available-for-sale. Historically, these sources of funds have been adequate to maintain liquidity, with the Company borrowing correspondingly more in periods in which its operations generate less cash.

 

Scheduled payments and maturities of loans and mortgage-related securities are relatively predictable sources of funds. However, cash flows from customer deposits, calls of investment securities (if any), prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, loan originations, and draws by borrowers on unused lines of credit are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and local economic conditions, and/or competition in the marketplace. These factors increase the variability of cash flows from these sources of funds.

 

The Company is committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position; therefore, management monitors the Company’s liquidity position on a daily basis. Based upon historical experience and available sources of liquidity, management anticipates that the Company will have sufficient funds to meet current funding commitments. For additional discussion refer to “Financial Condition,” above, and “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part I, Item 3, below.

 

Capital Resources The Company’s ratio of shareholders’ equity to total assets was 10.81% at March 31, 2017, compared to 10.82% at December 31, 2016. The Company is required to maintain specified amounts of regulatory capital pursuant to regulations promulgated by the FRB. The Company is “well capitalized” for regulatory capital purposes. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.6% and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.2%. The minimum ratios to be considered “well capitalized” under current supervisory regulations are 10% for total risk-based capital and 5% for Tier 1 capital. The minimum ratios to be considered “adequately capitalized” are 8% and 4%, respectively. For additional discussion refer to “Note 8. Regulatory Capital Requirements” in “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

 

The payment of dividends or the repurchase of common stock by the Company is highly dependent on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends or otherwise distribute capital to the Company. Such payments are also subject to any requirements imposed by law or regulations and to the application and interpretation thereof by the OCC and FRB. The Company cannot provide any assurances that dividends will continue to be paid, the amount of any such dividends, or whether the Company will choose to or be able to repurchase its common stock in future periods.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Contingencies

 

Contractual Obligations The following table presents, as of March 31, 2017, significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations to third parties by payment date (excluding interest payments due in the future on deposits and borrowed funds):

 

   Payments Due In 
       One to   Three to   Over     
   One Year   Three   Five   Five     
   Or Less   Years   Years   Years   Total 
   (Dollars in thousands) 
Deposits with no stated maturity  $1,373,788               $1,373,788 
Certificates of deposit   341,324   $183,043   $4,328        528,695 
Borrowed funds   313,397    59,335    43,236   $7,416    423,384 
Operating leases   945    1,498    1,135    2,702    6,280 
Purchase obligations   2,640    3,960            6,600 
Deferred retirement plans and deferred compensation plans   805    1,646    979    4,172    7,602 

 

The Company’s operating lease obligations represent short- and long-term lease and rental payments for facilities, certain software and data processing equipment, and other equipment. Purchase obligations represent obligations under agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. The purchase obligation amounts presented above primarily relate to certain contractual payments for services provided for information technology.

 

The Company also has obligations under its deferred retirement plan for executives and directors as described in Note 10, “Employee Benefit Plans,” to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, above.

 

Commitments to Extend Credit The following table details the amounts and expected maturities of approved commitments as of March 31, 2017:

 

   Payments Due In 
       One to   Three to   Over     
   One Year   Three   Five   Five     
   Or Less   Years   Years   Years   Total 
   (Dollars in thousands) 
Commercial lines of credit  $181,801               $181,801 
Commercial loans   2,473   $710            3,183 
Standby letters of credit   6,730    287   $275        7,292 
Multi-family and commercial real estate loans   223,383    4,813            228,196 
Residential real estate loans   40,107                40,107 
Revolving home equity and credit card lines   162,373                162,373 
Net commitments to sell mortgage loans   10,955                10,955 

 

Commitments to extend credit, including loan commitments, standby letters of credit, unused lines of credit and commercial letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, since these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

 

 44

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements At March 31, 2017, the Company had forward commitments to sell one- to four-family mortgage loans of $11.0 million to Fannie Mae. As described in Note 12, “Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk,” to the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company uses forward commitments to sell loans to mitigate interest rate risk on one- to four-family IRLCs and loans held-for-sale.

 

Contingent Liabilities The Company did not have a material exposure to contingent liabilities as of March 31, 2017.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Gap Analysis

 

Repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring a financial institution's interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be “interest rate sensitive” within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period.

 

A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that specific time period. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a specific time period exceeds the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within the same period. During a period of rising interest rates, a financial institution with a negative gap position would be expected, absent the effects of other factors, to experience a greater increase in the costs of its liabilities relative to the yields of its assets and thus a decrease in the institution's net interest income. An institution with a positive gap position would be expected, absent the effect of other factors, to experience the opposite result. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to reduce net interest income.

 

The following table presents the amounts of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at March 31, 2017, which management anticipates to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. The information presented in the following table is based on the following assumptions:

 

·Loans—based upon contractual maturities, repricing date, if applicable, scheduled repayments of principal, and projected prepayments of principal based upon the Company’s historical experience or anticipated prepayments. Actual cash flows may differ substantially from these assumptions.

 

·Mortgage-related securities—based upon known repricing dates (if applicable) and an independent outside source for determining estimated prepayment speeds. Actual cash flows may differ substantially from these assumptions.

 

·Deposit liabilities—based upon contractual maturities and the Company’s historical decay rates. Actual cash flows may differ substantially from these assumptions.

 

·Borrowings—based upon final maturity.

percentage of non-interest- and interest-bearing liabilities   111.52%   116.70%   132.43%   150.17%   106.62%     

  

Based on the above gap analysis, at March 31, 2017, the Company’s interest-bearing assets maturing or repricing within one year exceeds its interest-earning liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period. Based on this information, over the course of the next year net interest income could be favorably impacted by an increase in market interest rates. Alternatively, net interest income could be unfavorably impacted by a decrease in market interest rates. However, it should be noted that the Company’s future net interest income is affected by more than just future market interest rates. Net interest income is also affected by absolute and relative levels of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the level of non-performing loans and other investments, and by other factors outlined in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Cautionary Statement,” as well as Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

In addition to not anticipating all of the factors that could impact future net interest income, gap analysis has certain shortcomings. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may mature or reprice in similar periods, the interest rates on such react by different degrees to changes in market interest rates, especially in instances where changes in rates are limited by contractual caps or floors or instances where rates are influenced by competitive forces. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. For example, it is the Company’s past experience that rate changes on most of its deposit liabilities generally lag changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features which limit changes in interest rates on a short term basis and over the life of the loan. If interest rates change, prepayment, and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of borrowers to make payments on their adjustable-rate loans may decrease if interest rates increase. Because of these shortcomings, management of the Company believes that gap analysis is a better indicator of the relative change in the Company’s interest rate risk exposure from period to period than it is an indicator of the direction or amount of future change in net interest income.

Present Value of Equity

 

In addition to the gap analysis table, management also uses simulation models to monitor interest rate risk. The models report the present value of equity (“PVE”) in different interest rate environments, assuming an instantaneous and permanent interest rate shock to all interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The PVE is the difference between the present value of expected cash flows of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The changes in market value of assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates reflect the interest rate sensitivity of those assets and liabilities as their values are derived from the characteristics of the asset or liability (i.e., fixed rate, adjustable rate, caps, and floors) relative to the current interest rate environment. For example, in a rising interest rate environment, the fair market value of a fixed-rate asset will decline whereas the fair market value of an adjustable-rate asset, depending on its repricing characteristics, may not decline. Increases in the market value of assets will increase the PVE whereas decreases in market value of assets will decrease the PVE. Conversely, increases in the market value of liabilities will decrease the PVE whereas decreases in the market value of liabilities will increase the PVE.

 

The following table presents the estimated present value ratio over a range of interest rate change scenarios at March 31, 2017. The present value ratio is the PVE as a percent of the present value of total assets in each of the different rate environments. For purposes of this table, management has made assumptions such as prepayment rates and decay rates similar to those used for the gap analysis table.

 

       Present Value of Equity 
       as a Percent of the 
Change in  Present Value of Equity   Present Value of Assets 
Interest Rates  Dollar   Dollar   Percent   Present Value   Percent 
(Basis Points)  Amount   Change   Change   Ratio   Change 
   (Dollars in thousands)             
+400  $356,188   $(959)   0.3%   14.08%   5.9%
+300   358,505    1,358    0.4    13.96    5.1 
+200   362,211    5,064    1.4    13.89    4.5 
+100   357,052    (95)   0.0    13.49    1.5 
0   357,147            13.29     
-100   335,809    (21,338)   6.0    12.31    7.3 

  

Based on the above analysis, the Company’s present value ratio is not expected to be materially impacted by changes in interest rates. However, it should be noted that the Company’s PVE is impacted by more than changes in market interest rates. Future PVE is also affected by management’s decisions relating to reinvestment of future cash flows, decisions relating to funding sources, and by other factors outlined in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Cautionary Statement,” above, as well as Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

As is the case with gap analysis, PVE analysis also has certain shortcomings. PVE modeling requires management to make assumptions about future changes in market interest rates that are unlikely to occur, such as immediate, sustained, and parallel (or equal) changes in all market rates across all maturity terms. PVE modeling also requires that management make assumptions which may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. For example, it is the Company’s past experience that rate changes on most of its deposit liabilities generally lag changes in market interest rates. In addition, management makes assumptions regarding the changes in prepayment speeds of mortgage loans and securities. Prepayments will accelerate in a falling rate environment and the reverse will occur in a rising rate environment. Management also assumes that decay rates on core deposits will accelerate in a rising rate environment and the reverse in a falling rate environment. The model assumes that the Company will take no action in response to the changes in interest rates, when in practice rate changes on most deposit liabilities lag behind market changes and/or may be limited by competition. In addition, prepayment estimates and other assumptions within the model are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Accordingly, although the PVE model may provide an estimate of the Company’s interest rate risk at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company’s PVE. Because of these shortcomings, management of the Company believes that PVE analysis is a better indicator of the relative change in the Company’s interest rate risk exposure from period to period than it is an indicator of the direction or amount of future change in net interest income.
