Blue Hills Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual Earnings

NORWOOD, Mass., January 23, 2019--(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)- Blue Hills Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or "Blue Hills Bancorp") (NASDAQ: BHBK), the parent of Blue Hills Bank (the "Bank"), today announced net income of $5.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018 and net income of $1.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017. Net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding unrealized loss on equity securities and certain nonrecurring items, was $7.1 million or $0.28 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding unrealized loss on equity securities and certain nonrecurring items, of $6.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2018 and net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding certain nonrecurring items, of $4.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2017 (see page 14 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures).

For the year ended December 31, 2018, net income was $24.6 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.5 million, or $0.67 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2017. Net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding unrealized gain on equity securities and certain nonrecurring items, was $26.0 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to net income on a non-GAAP basis, excluding certain nonrecurring items, of $13.8 million, or $0.56 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2017 (see page 15 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures).

On September 20, 2018, Blue Hills Bancorp announced it reached a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Independent Bank Corp. ("Independent"), pursuant to which Blue Hills Bancorp will merge into Independent ("Merger"). Blue Hills Bancorp's shareholders approved the merger at a meeting held on January 16, 2019. Completion of the transaction is subject to other customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and the approval of Independent's shareholders. The transaction is expected to close later in the first quarter of 2019 or early in the second quarter of 2019.

Commenting on the Company's results, William Parent, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blue Hills Bancorp, said, "We finished the year with another solid quarter that included loan growth, net interest margin expansion and continued cost control. Earnings per share for the year on an operating (non-GAAP) basis improved 84% from 2017, reflecting the success of our various businesses, continued positive operating leverage, and the ongoing transformation of the Company into a full service community bank. We are excited to be joining Independent and becoming part of a larger organization, which will benefit all of our stakeholders. I want to thank our employees for their dedication and hard work during this time of transition. In addition to operating Blue Hills Bank in a business-as-usual manner for our customers, employees from around the bank have also been working hard to ensure that we have a seamless transition into Independent's organization."

BALANCE SHEET
Compared to September 30, 2018, total assets grew $23 million, or 1%, to $2.8 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly driven by a $29 million, or 1%, increase in loans to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2018. Quarterly growth was impacted by seasonality, lower residential lending demand due to the higher interest rate environment, and the announced merger with Independent. By category, the growth was due to a $17 million, or 2%, increase in residential mortgage loans and a $13 million, or 2%, increase in commercial real estate loans. Other loan categories had smaller changes.

Compared to December 31, 2017, total assets increased $137 million, or 5%. Loans drove the growth in total assets from December 31, 2017, increasing $128 million, or 6%. By category, the increase from December 31, 2017 was due to residential mortgage loans, which were up $98 million, or 11%; commercial business loans, which were up $34 million, or 14%; and commercial real estate loans, which were up $32 million, or 4%. These increases were partially offset by declines in home equity, construction and consumer loans. Residential mortgage originations were $98 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $112 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 with the decline reflecting the impact of higher interest rates. Commercial loans (real estate and non-real estate combined) added to the balance sheet were $49 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $156 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Deposit and borrowing activities reflect seasonality and a changing funding strategy to shorten duration and migrate away from certain types of high cost consumer deposits to borrowings. Compared to September 30, 2018, deposits declined $28 million, or 1%, to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2018. The decrease from the end of the third quarter was driven by a $51 million, or 8%, decline in money market deposits and a $16 million, or 4%, decline in NOW and demand accounts. These declines were partially offset by a $43 million, or 15%, increase in brokered certificates of deposit. The drop in deposits resulted in an increase in short-term borrowings, which were up $55 million, or 56%, to $153 million at December 31, 2018.

Compared to December 31, 2017, deposits grew $98 million, or 5%. By category, the growth mainly came from certificates of deposit, which were up $116 million, or 26%, and brokered certificates of deposit which increased $73 million, or 29%. These increases were partially offset by a $77 million, or 12%, decline in money market deposits. Short-term borrowings increased $53 million from a year ago while long-term debt declined $25 million.

Stockholders’ equity was $404 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $403 million at September 30, 2018 and $398 million at December 31, 2017. The increase from the end of 2017 mainly reflects net income and share-based compensation, partially offset by the payment of dividends.

NET INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME
Reported net interest and dividend income was $20.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, up $488,000, or 3%, from the third quarter of 2018 and up $2.2 million, or 12%, from the fourth quarter of 2017. Reported net interest margin was 2.97% in the fourth quarter of 2018, up from 2.92% in the third quarter of 2018 and 2.80% in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Net interest and dividend income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE), a non-GAAP measure, was also $20.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, up $488,000, or 3%, from $19.5 million in the third quarter of 2018, and up $2.1 million, or 12%, from $17.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE), a non-GAAP measure, was 2.98% in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to 2.93% in the third quarter of 2018 and 2.81% in the fourth quarter of 2017. Purchase accounting accretion added $38,000, $74,000, and $100,000 to net interest and dividend income in the fourth quarter of 2018, third quarter of 2018, and fourth quarter of 2017, respectively. Purchase accounting accretion also added one basis point to net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2018 and 2 basis points to net interest margin in the third quarter of 2018 and fourth quarter of 2017.

The improvement in net interest and dividend income (FTE) from the third quarter of 2018 was mainly due to the 5 basis point improvement in net interest margin discussed above. The margin expansion was due, in part, to higher floating rate loan yields related to the interest rate increases announced by the Federal Reserve Bank. The company has maintained an asset sensitive interest rate risk position throughout this interest rate hike cycle, which has generally resulted in earning asset yields increasing at a faster pace than interest-bearing liability costs. There have been nine rate increases announced by the Fed since December 2015 totaling 225 basis points. To a lesser extent, the linked-quarter improvement in net interest and dividend income (FTE) was helped by an increase in average loans, which were up 0.4% from the third quarter.

The increase in net interest and dividend income (FTE) over the fourth quarter of 2017 was helped by net interest margin expansion as well as loan growth. Average loans increased $133 million, or 6%, from the fourth quarter of 2017 driven by higher levels of residential mortgages, commercial real estate loans, and commercial business loans, partially offset by declines in construction, home equity and consumer loans.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income was $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, down $1.6 million, or 42%, from the third quarter of 2018. The decline includes lower loan level derivative income, which dropped $849,000 from the third quarter due to a lower volume of new commercial loan customer back-to-back interest rate swap contracts. The amount of revenue in the loan level derivative income category can be volatile since it is a function of the amount of commercial loans that customers opt to convert from floating to fixed rate via interest rate swaps in any given quarter. In addition, there was a $360,000, or 53%, drop in miscellaneous income due mainly to lower income on Small Business Investment Community ("SBIC") investments, a $268,000, or 28%, decline in mortgage banking income due to seasonality and the impact of higher interest rates on loan originations and sales volume, and a $127,000 increase in unrealized losses on equity securities.



2



Compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, noninterest income declined $686,000, or 23%, mainly due to a $910,000 drop in loan level derivative income and a $188,000 unrealized loss on equity securities recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018. These declines were partially offset by increases in all other account categories, including mortgage banking income (up $154,000, or 28%), miscellaneous income (up $109,000, or 53%, mainly to higher income on SBIC investments), deposit account fees (up $100,000, or 27%) and interchange and ATM fees (up $36,000, or 9%).

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $15.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, down $512,000, or 3%, from the third quarter of 2018 and up $826,000, or 6%, from the fourth quarter of 2017. The fourth quarter of 2018 and the third quarter of 2018 included charges of $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, associated with the pending merger with Independent Bank Corp. as well as charges of $207,000 and $720,000, respectively, for a supplemental executive retirement agreement as previously disclosed in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the fourth quarter of 2017 included a $317,000 charge related to pension settlements. Excluding these items, adjusted noninterest expense was $13.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, down $333,000, or 2%, from the third quarter of 2018 due mainly to a $204,000, or 40%, drop in advertising expense.

Compared to the fourth quarter of last year, adjusted noninterest expense declined $719,000, or 5%. The decline reflects lower levels of advertising, professional fees, and occupancy and equipment expense, as well as the absence of a charge for a settlement agreement that was reached a year ago between the Company and a former employee. These declines were partially offset by higher employee costs due, in part, to merit increases and higher benefits expenses.

INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate was 26% in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to 27% in the third quarter of 2018 and 78% in the fourth quarter of 2017. The effective tax rates in 2018 were lower than historical rates due to the Tax Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017 and provided for a reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act also resulted in a downward revaluation of approximately $2.5 million in the Company's net deferred tax asset in the fourth quarter of 2017. Excluding that charge, the Company's effective tax rate was 35% in the fourth quarter of 2017.

ASSET QUALITY
The provision for loan losses reflects management’s assessment of risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was a credit of $577,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to a credit of $182,000 in the third quarter of 2018 and a provision of $681,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017. The level of the provision in all three quarters reflects the impact of the Company's continued migration from the use of historical loss rates based on national FDIC data to loss rates based on the Company's own experience.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.83% at December 31, 2018 compared to 0.86% at September 30, 2018 and 0.95% at December 31, 2017. The Company had net loan charge-offs of $8,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to net loan charge-offs of $23,000 in the third quarter of 2018 and net loan chargeoffs of $52,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Nonperforming assets were $14.2 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $15.4 million at September 30, 2018 and $11.5 million at December 31, 2017. The linked quarter decline in nonperforming assets reflects decreases in nonperforming residential mortgages and home equity loans. The increase in nonperforming assets from the end of 2017 is mainly due to the placement of loans to one commercial real estate customer on nonaccrual in 2018. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.51% at December 31, 2018 compared to 0.55% at September 30, 2018 and 0.43% at December 31, 2017.

Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons.
