Investar Holding Corporation Announces Record Revenues Following Acquisition

BATON ROUGE, LA (October 25, 2017) – Investar Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: ISTR) (the “Company”), the holding company for Investar Bank (the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The Company reported net income of $2.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and $2.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

On a non-GAAP basis, core earnings per share in the third quarter of 2017 was $0.29 per basic and diluted share (refer to the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures table for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP metrics).

The Company’s balance sheet and statement of income as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 include the impact of the Company’s acquisition of Citizens Bancshares, Inc. (“Citizens”), which was completed on July 1, 2017. As of the acquisition date, Citizens had approximately $250 million in total assets, including $130 million in loans, and approximately $212 million in deposits. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at fair value and are subject to change pending finalization of all valuations.
Investar Holding Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer John D’Angelo said:
“The third quarter was an exciting quarter for Investar. Following the acquisition of Citizens Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Bank on July 1, 2017, our operating teams, including our new Investar family members from Evangeline Parish, worked diligently to successfully integrate the former Citizens Bank, while continuing to provide outstanding customer service. Working together to create synergies promptly after completing a merger is important to our earnings success. This is the first quarter of operations following the Citizens acquisition and the results reflect the positive effect of the acquisition on our balance sheet and income statement. We are pleased with the results and expect to recognize additional benefits from the acquisition going into the next quarter.
We also announced the acquisition of BOJ Bancshares, Inc., the parent company for The Highlands Bank, in Jackson, Louisiana, which we expect to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2017. The acquisition of The Highlands Bank fits our strategy of expansion through extensions of our existing markets. We believe this limits integration risk and allows us to continue to build our brand in existing and surrounding markets. We also believe that the acquisition further positions us to grow the franchise and increase long-term shareholder value. Both we and The Highlands Bank are customer service-focused community banks and look forward to welcoming the customers and employees of The Highlands Bank to the Investar family.
In addition to growth by acquisition, Investar continued to bolster its teams in the third quarter with the addition of four commercial lenders in the Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Lafayette markets, as well as a Community Development Officer in the New Orleans market, and two Treasury Management Sales Officers in the New Orleans and Lafayette markets. We look forward to the knowledge and experience brought to Investar by these team members, as well as the growth in business relationships with our customers.”

One to four family loans were $252.0 million at September 30, 2017, an increase of $74.0 million, or 41.6%, compared to $178.0 million at June 30, 2017, and an increase of $76.6 million, or 43.7%, compared to September 30, 2016. The increase in the 1-4 family portfolio is primarily a result of the approximately $61.5 million 1-4 family loans acquired from Citizens.
At September 30, 2017, the Company’s total business lending portfolio, which consists of loans secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate properties and commercial and industrial loans, was $342.6 million, an increase of $58.5 million, or 20.6%, compared to the business lending portfolio of $284.1 million at June 30, 2017, and an increase of $92.3 million, or 36.9%, compared to the business lending portfolio of $250.3 million at September 30, 2016. Included in the business lending portfolio is $34.0 million, or 9.9% of the total portfolio, of loans acquired from Citizens. The Company continues to focus on relationship banking and growing our commercial loan portfolio.
Consumer loans, including indirect auto loans of $64.1 million, totaled $83.5 million at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 0.5%, compared to $83.9 million, including indirect auto loans of $70.8 million, at June 30, 2017, and a decrease of $42.8 million, or 33.9%, compared to $126.3 million at September 30, 2016. Excluding the consumer loans acquired from Citizens, or $8.5 million, consumer loans decreased $8.9 million, or 10.6%, to $75.0 million at September 30, 2017. The decrease in consumer loans, excluding acquired loans, when compared to the linked quarter is attributable to the scheduled paydowns of the consumer loans.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming loans were $2.2 million, or 0.20% of total loans, at September 30, 2017, an increase of $1.0 million, or 86.5%, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.13% of total loans, at June 30, 2017, and a decrease of $6.8 million, or 75.7%, compared to $9.0 million, or 1.06% of total loans, at September 30, 2016. The increase in nonperforming loans at September 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2017 is mainly attributable to the Citizens acquisition. The decrease in nonperforming loans compared to September 30, 2016 is mainly attributable to one $4.7 million owner-occupied commercial real estate relationship and one $2.7 million commercial and industrial loan relationship that were not performing at September 30, 2016.



Exclusive of acquired loans, the allowance for loan losses was $7.6 million, or 541.62% and 0.77% of nonperforming loans and total loans, respectively, at September 30, 2017, compared to $7.3 million, or 627.63% and 0.78% of nonperforming loans and total loans, respectively, at June 30, 2017, and $7.4 million, or 82.44% and 0.87% of nonperforming loans and total loans, respectively, at September 30, 2016. The increase in the allowance as a percentage of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 is a result of the $6.8 million decrease in nonperforming loans discussed above. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 is due to an overall increase in the legacy portfolio of the Company of $139.3 million, or 16.4%, while the allowance for loan losses increased $0.2 million, or 3.0%.
The provision for loan losses was $0.4 million for both the second and third quarters of 2017, a decrease of $0.1 million compared to provision for loan losses of $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Management continues to monitor the Company’s loan portfolio for exposure to potential negative impacts of suppressed oil and gas prices. We consider our direct exposure to the energy sector not to be significant, at approximately one percent of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 2017. However, should the price of oil and gas decline further and/or remain at the current low price for an extended period, the general economic conditions in our south Louisiana markets could be negatively affected and could negatively impact borrowers’ ability to service their debt. Management continually evaluates the allowance for loan losses based on several factors, including economic conditions, and currently believes that any potential negatively affected future cash flows related to these loans would be covered by the current allowance for loan losses.
Deposits
Total deposits at September 30, 2017 were $1.1 billion, an increase of $206.5 million, or 23.1%, compared to June 30, 2017, and an increase of $194.3 million, or 21.4%, compared to September 30, 2016. The Company acquired $212.2 million in deposits from the Citizens acquisition. Exclusive of acquired deposits, total deposits decreased $5.6 million, or 0.6%, compared to June 30, 2017, and decreased $17.9 million, or 2.0%, compared to September 30, 2016. The decrease in deposits is primarily due to a decrease in time deposits of $8.5 million, or 2.1%, compared to June 30, 2017, and a decrease of $79.7 million, or 17%, compared to September 30, 2016, resulting from the Bank’s strategy to decrease its dependence on non-retail certificates of deposit.

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2017
The financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 reflect the acquisition of Citizens beginning July 1, 2017. The acquisition of Citizens added three branch locations in Evangeline Parish with total assets of $250 million, total loans of $130 million, and total deposits of $212 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $0.8 million in expenses related to the acquisition of Citizens.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $11.5 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 24.0%, compared to the second quarter of 2017, and an increase of $2.8 million, or 31.8%, compared to the third quarter of 2016. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by growth in loan and securities balances partially offset by an increase in interest expense as we funded the increase in earning assets with increased deposits and borrowings. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2017 increased $2.7 million and $0.8 million due to increases in the volume and yield, respectively, of interest-earning assets, offset slightly by decreases of $0.4 million and $0.3 million due to the increases in the volume and rate, respectively, of interest-bearing liabilities compared to the third quarter of 2016.



The Company’s net interest margin was 3.40% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to 3.28% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and 3.23% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The yield on interest-earning assets was 4.26% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to 4.18% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and 4.06% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
The cost of deposits decreased seven basis points to 0.91% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to 0.98% for both the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. The decrease in the cost of deposits when compared to the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 is a result of a decrease in the cost of savings deposits and time deposits. The overall costs of funds for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 decreased five basis points to 1.05% compared to 1.10% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and increased seven basis points compared to 0.98% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in the cost of deposits and cost of funds at September 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2017 is mainly a result of lower cost deposits and long term borrowings acquired from Citizens. The increase in the cost of funds at September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016 is mainly attributable to the increase in long term borrowings resulting from the Company’s issuance and sale, on March 24, 2017, of $18.6 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due in 2027. The Company used the net proceeds from the debt issuance to fund a portion of the acquisition of Citizens Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Bank.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $1.2 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 45.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2017, and an increase of $0.1 million, or 13.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2016. The increase in noninterest income when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017 is due to a $0.2 million increase in both service charges on deposit accounts and gain on sale of fixed assets, offset by a $0.1 million decrease in the gain on sale of investment securities.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2017 totaled $9.1 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 31.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2017, and an increase of $2.6 million, or 39.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2016. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 is mainly attributable to the increases in both salaries and employee benefits and acquisition expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is a result of the increase in employees following the Citizens acquisition, as well as the addition of four commercial lenders in the Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Lafayette markets, and a Community Development Officer and Treasury Management Sales Officer in the New Orleans market during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The increase in acquisition expense was a result of the Citizens acquisition that was completed on July 1, 2017.
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2017 includes a full quarter of expenses of approximately $0.4 million for both de novo branches, one in each of the Baton Rouge (Gonzales) and New Orleans (Elmwood) markets, that were opened at the end of the second quarter of 2017.
Basic Earnings Per Share and Diluted Earnings Per Share
The Company reported both basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.24 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.05 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.29 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in both basic and diluted earnings per share is attributable to the Company’s issuance of approximately 1.6 million common shares as part of a public offering on March 22, 2017, as well as the $0.8 million in acquisition expenses related to the Citizens acquisition.
Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, which equates to an effective tax rate of 32.6%.

our dependence on our management team, and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower industries or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers;
inaccuracy of the assumptions and estimates we make in establishing reserves for probable loan losses and other estimates;
the concentration of our business within our geographic areas of operation in Louisiana;
concentration of credit exposure;
the ability to effectively integrate employees, customers, operations and branches from our recent acquisition of Citizens; and
the satisfaction of the conditions to closing the pending acquisition of BOJ Bancshares, Inc. and the ability to subsequently integrate it effectively.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Additional information on these and other risk factors can be found in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and in the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
