Brookline Bancorp Announces Third Quarter Results



Net Income Up 8.6% to $12.9 million, EPS of $0.18

BOSTON, Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookline Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: BRKL) (the "Company") today announced net income of $12.9 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $11.9 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015.

Paul Perrault, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated: "We are pleased to report another strong quarter to our stockholders. The Company continues to have broad-based loan growth, solid returns and strong asset quality. Brookline Bancorp continues to execute on its strategy of high performance for both customers and stockholders."

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets of $5.8 billion at September 30, 2015 increased $56.6 million from June 30, 2015, and increased $38.6 million from December 31, 2014. The increase in total assets of 3.9 percent on an annualized basis during the third quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by increases in loans and leases, partly offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents. The Company completed its effort to deploy excess liquidity generated by the sale of indirect automobile loans in March 2015. At September 30, 2015, total loans and leases were $4.8 billion, representing an increase of $99.6 million from June 30, 2015, and an increase of $6.5 million from December 31, 2014. During the third quarter of 2015, total loans and leases grew 8.4 percent on an annualized basis. Strong loan growth continued in the total commercial real estate and commercial loan and lease portfolios, which increased $90.4 million during the third quarter of 2015, or 9.5 percent on an annualized basis.

Cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities at September 30, 2015 decreased $46.0 million to $636.9 million, or 10.9 percent of total assets, as compared to $682.9 million, or 11.8 percent of total assets at June 30, 2015, and increased $22.9 million from $614.0 million, or 10.6 percent of total assets at December 31, 2014. The decrease during the third quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by the funding of loans.

Total deposits of $4.1 billion at September 30, 2015 increased $15.2 million from June 30, 2015 and increased $186.5 million from December 31, 2014. The increase during the third quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by an increase of $21.5 million in certificate of deposit accounts. Core deposits, which consist of demand checking, NOW, savings, and money market accounts, decreased slightly in the third quarter of 2015. The core deposit ratio also decreased slightly to 74.3 percent at September 30, 2015 from 74.7 percent at June 30, 2015 and from 76.1 percent at December 31, 2014. The average cost of deposits remained constant at 0.51 percent at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015.

Total borrowings at September 30, 2015 were $960.2 million, an increase of $22.6 million as compared to June 30, 2015. Total borrowings decreased $166.2 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 11.36 percent at September 30, 2015, as compared to 11.30 percent at June 30, 2015 and 11.06% percent at December 31, 2014. The ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets was 9.04 percent at September 30, 2015, as compared to 8.94 percent at June 30, 2015 and 8.68% percent at December 31, 2014.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $1.4 million to $48.6 million during the third quarter of 2015 from the previous quarter. The net interest margin increased 5 basis points to 3.54 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in net interest income is a result of increased interest income from higher loan balances and an increase in dividend income from restricted equity securities.

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1.8 million from the previous quarter.

Net charge-offs increased $1.1 million to $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2015. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis increased to 13 basis points for the third quarter of 2015 from 4 basis points for the second quarter of 2015. The charge-offs on two relationships, both of which had specific reserves recorded in a prior period, contributed to the increase in net charge-offs for the third quarter.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.17 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2015, compared to 1.19 percent at June 30, 2015, and 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 1.25 percent at September 30, 2015, compared to 1.27 percent at June 30, 2015 and 1.20 percent at December 31, 2014.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income of $4.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 remained consistent with the previous quarter.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 increased $0.8 million to $31.3 million from $30.5 million for the previous quarter.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate decreased by 2.3 percentage points, from 36.2 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 to 33.9 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The effective tax rate was 35.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The return on average assets increased during the third quarter of 2015 to 0.89 percent at September 30, 2015 from 0.82 percent for the second quarter of 2015. The return on average tangible assets increased to 0.91 percent for the third quarter of 2015 from 0.85 percent for the second quarter of 2015.

The return on average stockholders' equity increased during the third quarter of 2015 to 7.81 percent from 7.24 percent for the second quarter of 2015. The return on average tangible stockholders' equity increased to 10.11 percent for the third quarter of 2015 from 9.40 percent for the second quarter of 2015.

ASSET QUALITY

Nonperforming loans and leases decreased $3.7 million during the third quarter of 2015 to $19.7 million at September 30, 2015 from the previous quarter. The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases decreased to 0.41 percent at September 30, 2015 from the previous quarter. Nonperforming assets also decreased $4.8 million during the third quarter of 2015 to $21.0 million, or 0.36 percent of total assets, at September 30, 2015.
