BOSTON, July 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookline Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRKL) (the "Company") today announced net income of $11.9 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $11.7 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015.

Paul Perrault, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated: "We have delivered another solid quarter for our shareholders while improving our efficiency ratio, return on assets and stockholder's equity. Although the interest rate environment continues to be volatile, it is because of our strong fundamentals that we experienced strong growth in loans. I am grateful and proud of our employees who work together to live the Brookline Bancorp culture of providing excellent customer service and contributing to the growth of our Company."

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets of $5.8 billion at June 30, 2015 increased $27.8 million from March 31, 2015, and decreased $18.0 million from December 31, 2014. The increase in total assets of 1.9 percent on an annualized basis during the second quarter of 2015 was driven by increases in loan and leases, which were offset by decreases in cash, cash equivalents and investment securities. The excess liquidity generated by the sale of indirect automobile loans in March was deployed during the second quarter. At June 30, 2015, total loans and leases were $4.7 billion, representing an increase of $95.0 million from March 31, 2015, and a decrease of $93.0 million from December 31, 2014. During the second quarter of 2015, total loans and leases grew 8.2 percent on an annualized basis. Strong loan growth continued in the total commercial real estate and commercial loan and lease portfolios, which increased $67.3 million during the second quarter of 2015, or 7.2 percent on an annualized basis.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities at June 30, 2015 decreased $79.9 million to $682.9 million, or 11.8 percent of total assets, as compared to $762.7 million, or 13.3 percent of total assets at March 31, 2015, and increased $68.9 million from $614.0 million, or 10.6 percent of total assets at December 31, 2014. The decrease during the second quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by the funding of loans.

Total deposits of $4.1 billion at June 30, 2015 increased $14.6 million from March 31, 2015 and increased $171.3 million from December 31, 2014. The increase during the second quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by an increase of $53.4 million in demand checking offset by a $38.8 million decrease in savings accounts. Core deposits, which consist of demand checking, NOW, savings, and money market accounts, increased at a 3.0 percent annualized rate in the second quarter of 2015. The core deposit ratio increased slightly to 74.7 percent at June 30, 2015 from 74.4 percent at March 31, 2015 and decreased from 76.1 percent at December 31, 2014. The average cost of deposits decreased to 0.51 percent at June 30, 2015 from 0.52 percent at March 31, 2015.

Total borrowings at June 30, 2015 were $937.6 million, an increase of $12.7 million as compared to March 31, 2015. Total borrowings decreased $188.8 million as compared to December 31, 2014 as proceeds from the sale of indirect automobile loans were used to pay down short term borrowings.

The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 11.30 percent at June 30, 2015, as compared to 11.32 percent at March 31, 2015 and 11.06 percent at December 31, 2014. The ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets was 8.94 percent at June 30, 2015, as compared to 8.93 percent at March 31, 2015 and 8.68 percent at December 31, 2014.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income decreased $1.4 million to $47.2 million during the second quarter of 2015 from the previous quarter. The net interest margin decreased 8 basis points to 3.49 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in net interest income is largely a result of the sale of indirect automobile loans at the end of the first quarter offset by loan growth in the second quarter.

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $2.3 million during the first quarter of 2015. The decrease of $0.5 million quarter over quarter is due to a $1.6 million specific reserve established during the first quarter, partially offset by additional reserves required for loan growth in the second quarter.

Net charge-offs decreased approximately $0.4 million to $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 from $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2015. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis decreased to 0.04 percent for the second quarter of 2015 from 0.07 percent for the first quarter of 2015.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.19 percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, compared to 1.11 percent at December 31, 2014. The allowance for loan and lease losses related to originated loans and leases as a percentage of originated loans and leases was 1.27 percent at June 30, 2015, compared to 1.28 percent at March 31, 2015 and 1.20 at December 31, 2014.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased $0.4 million to $4.9 million from the previous quarter. Loan level derivative income increased $0.9 million, offset by the decrease of $0.6 million from gain on sale of loans and leases held-for-sale.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 decreased approximately $0.9 million to $30.5 million from $31.3 million for the previous quarter. Compensation and employee benefits decreased $0.4 million primarily due to a decrease in payroll taxes and unemployment insurance due to the seasonal nature of the expenses which decrease once threshold limits are reached. Equipment and data processing expense decreased $0.3 million due to the decrease of core processing system expenses resulting from the sale of the indirect automobile loan portfolio.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The return on average assets increased during the second quarter of 2015 to 0.82 percent at June 30, 2015 from 0.80 percent for the first quarter of 2015. The return on average tangible assets increased to 0.85 percent for the second quarter of 2015 from 0.82 percent for the first quarter of 2015.

The return on average stockholders' equity increased during the second quarter of 2015 to 7.24 percent from 7.22 percent for the first quarter of 2015. The return on average tangible stockholders' equity decreased to 9.40 percent for the second quarter of 2015 from 9.41 percent for the first quarter of 2015.

ASSET QUALITY

Nonperforming loans and leases increased $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2015 to $23.5 million at June 30, 2015 from the previous quarter. The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases increased slightly to 0.50 percent at June 30, 2015 from the previous quarter. Nonperforming assets also increased $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2015 to $25.9 million, or 0.45 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2015.
