Guaranty Bancorp (NASDAQ: GBNK) ("we", "our" or "the Company"), a community bank holding company based in Colorado, today announced second quarter 2015 net income of $5.5 million or $0.26 per basic and diluted common share, an increase of $1.4 million or $0.07 per basic and diluted common share as compared to the second quarter 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net income was $10.6 million or $0.50 per basic and diluted common share, an increase of $2.9 million or $0.14 per basic and diluted common share as compared to the same period in 2014.
"Our continued focus on being a high performing community bank in the state of Colorado is reflected in our results this quarter," said Paul W. Taylor, President and CEO. "Our net income grew by 34.1% in the quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2014 and we continue to experience strong loan growth across all lines of business as net loans grew by 29.3% on an annualized basis during the second quarter 2015. We are very pleased to have achieved an ROA of 1.00% and an efficiency ratio of 59.77% for the quarter, a significant accomplishment for any bank today. The Colorado economy continues to expand and the relationships we have built with our customers and communities enable us to identify opportunities to further support that growth. On June 30th, Guaranty Bank and Trust celebrated its 60th anniversary. We want to thank our customers and partners for the privilege of being a part of their success and our stockholders for the investment they have made in us over these 60 years."
The Company's net income increased 34.1% or $1.4 million for the second quarter 2015 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year, due to a $1.4 million improvement in interest income, a $0.4 million decrease in interest expense and a $0.6 million increase in noninterest income. These increases were partially offset by an increase in income taxes due to the increase in pretax income. The $1.4 million increase in interest income was the result of a $218.6 million increase in average loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same quarter in 2014. The $0.6 million increase in noninterest income in the second quarter 2015, as compared to the second quarter 2014, was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in investment management and trust income and a $0.2 million increase in bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) income. The increase in investment management and trust income was primarily due to an increase in assets under management of $203.3 million, as compared to June 30, 2014, partially due to the July 2014 acquisition of Cherry Hills Investment Advisors (CHIA). The $0.4 million decrease in interest expense during the second quarter 2015, as compared to the same quarter in 2014, was primarily driven by the prepayment of $90.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) term advances during the fourth quarter 2014.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net income increased 38.5% or $2.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2014, due to a $3.4 million increase in interest income, a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense, and a $1.0 million increase in noninterest income. These increases were partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in noninterest expense and an increase in income taxes due to the increase in pretax income. The $3.4 million increase in interest income was the result of a $208.6 million increase in average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The $1.0 million decrease in interest expense was primarily related to the prepayment of certain FHLB term advances, as discussed above. The $1.0 million increase in noninterest income was mostly due to a $0.8 million increase in investment management and trust income, a $0.3 million increase in BOLI income and a $0.3 million increase in gains on sales of SBA loans during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.

(1) The "efficiency ratio" equals noninterest expense adjusted to exclude amortization of intangible assets, prepayment penalties on long-term debt and impairment of long-lived assets divided by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and tax equivalent noninterest income. To calculate tax equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, the interest earned on tax exempt loans and investment securities and the income earned on bank-owned life insurance has been adjusted to reflect the amount that would have been earned had these investments been subject to normal income taxation.

During the second quarter 2015, net interest income increased $1.9 million, as compared to the same quarter in the prior year, due to a $1.4 million increase in interest income and a $0.4 million decrease in interest expense. Interest income increased mostly due to a 15.6% increase in average loan balances. Interest expense decreased primarily due to the prepayment of certain FHLB term advances in the fourth quarter 2014. The net interest margin increased to 3.67% during the second quarter of 2015, as compared to 3.66% during the same quarter in 2014.
As compared to the first quarter 2015, net interest income increased $0.2 million due to a $0.3 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income during the second quarter 2015, as compared to the first quarter 2015, was due to an $88.8 million increase in average loan balances, partially offset by lower loan yields. The increase in interest expense during the second quarter 2015, as compared to the first quarter 2015, was due to a $100.8 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities required to fund loan growth. During the second quarter 2015, the net interest margin decreased 17 basis points, as compared to the first quarter 2015, largely due to fees recognized on the prepayment of loans during the first quarter 2015.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net interest income increased $4.4 million as compared to the same period in 2014 due to a $3.4 million increase in interest income and a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense. The year-to-date increase in interest income was driven by a $208.6 million increase in average loan balances, as compared to the same period in 2014. The decline in interest expense during the first six months of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, was primarily due to the prepayment of certain FHLB term advances in the fourth quarter 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the net interest margin increased nine basis points to 3.76% as compared to 3.67% for the same period in 2014. The increase in the net interest margin was mostly due to the decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities due to the prepayment of certain FHLB term advances, as discussed above.

Noninterest income increased $0.6 million to $4.4 million, as compared to $3.8 million in the second quarter 2014, and increased $0.3 million from $4.1 million in the first quarter 2015.
The $0.6 million increase in noninterest income in the second quarter 2015, as compared to the same quarter in 2014, was mostly due to a $0.4 million increase in investment management and trust income and a $0.2 million increase in BOLI income. Total assets under management at June 30, 2015 were $708.6 million, an increase of $203.3 million, or 40.2%, as compared to June 30, 2014. In July 2014, we acquired CHIA which had assets under management of $178.5 million at acquisition. The increase in BOLI income was due to the purchase of an additional $15.0 million in BOLI subsequent to June 30, 2014.
The $0.3 million increase in noninterest income in the second quarter 2015, as compared to the first quarter 2015, was due to an increase in deposit service and other fees driven by increases in commercial account analysis fees and debit card activity.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, noninterest income increased $1.0 million to $8.5 million as compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in noninterest income was due to a $0.8 million increase in investment management and trust income, a $0.3 increase in BOLI income and a $0.3 million increase in gains on sales of SBA loans. The increases in noninterest income were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in customer interest rate swap income.

============================ =================
Noninterest expense decreased $0.3 million to $15.0 million, as compared to $15.3 million in the first quarter 2015, and was relatively flat as compared to the second quarter 2014. The Company's tax equivalent efficiency ratio improved 305 basis points to 59.77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 62.82% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, and improved 634 basis points as compared to 66.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
During the second quarter 2015, noninterest expense declined $0.3 million as compared to the first quarter 2015, mostly due to a $0.6 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits due to a decline in payroll taxes related to the timing of the annual payroll cycle, and a reduction in full-time equivalent employees. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was partially offset by smaller increases in other noninterest expense categories including a $0.1 million impairment of long-lived assets related to the sale of one of our former branch locations during the second quarter 2015.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, noninterest expense was $30.2 million, as compared to $29.6 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in noninterest expense for the first six months of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, included a $0.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $0.2 million increase in other general and administrative expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits during the first six months of 2015, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily the result of new positions within our wealth management, healthcare and equipment finance lending and compliance groups and annual salary increases for 2015.

During the second quarter 2015 loans, net of unearned fees increased $113.5 million which was comprised of a $91.3 million increase in commercial and residential real estate, a $13.0 million increase in construction loans and a $7.2 million increase in commercial loans. Second quarter 2015 net loan growth consisted of $253.5 million in new loans and net existing credit advanced, partially offset by $138.8 million in net loan pay-downs and maturities. In addition to contractual loan principal payments and maturities, the second quarter 2015 included $36.1 million in pay-offs due to our strategic decision to not match more aggressive financing terms offered by competitors, $13.0 million in pay-downs of energy-related loans, $12.2 million in early payoffs related to the sale of the borrower's assets, $8.8 million in pay-downs related to revolving line of credit fluctuations, $6.1 million in early payoffs of jumbo mortgages and $2.7 million in pay-downs on classified or watch loans.
During the second quarter 2015, we proactively reduced our direct exposure to the energy industry, realizing reductions of 35.4% or $22.2 million in commitments and 29.1% or $13.0 million in outstanding loan balances. Our current energy portfolio totals $31.8 million in outstanding loan balances, which is less than 2.0% of our total loan portfolio. At June 30, 2015, the energy portfolio was comprised primarily of exploration and production loans, with relatively equal exposure to oil and natural gas.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, loans net of unearned fees increased by $230.6 million, or 16.0%. Net loan growth was comprised of a $197.4 million increase in commercial and residential real estate loans and a $26.2 million increase in commercial loans. The growth in loans was both the result of development of new customer relationships and growth in existing customer relationships. The utilization rate on commercial lines of credit of 41.0% at June 30, 2015 was relatively consistent with the rate at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014.
At June 30, 2015, 1-4 family residential real estate loans grew $25.1 million to $273.4 million as compared to $248.3 million at June 30, 2014 mostly due to growth in jumbo mortgage loans.

At June 30, 2015, all our regulatory capital ratios remain well above minimum requirements for a "well-capitalized" institution. Our ratios decreased as compared to our ratios at December 31, 2014 primarily due to an increase in risk-weighted assets during the period, driven by loan growth during the first six months of 2015 as well as new risk-weighting requirements under the final rule on Enhanced Regulatory Capital Standards, commonly referred to as Basel III, which became effective in the first quarter of 2015.

==========================================================
During the second quarter 2015, nonperforming assets decreased by $0.7 million from March 31, 2015 and decreased $3.6 million from June 30, 2014. The decrease in nonperforming assets during the second quarter 2015 was primarily the result of the sale of three OREO properties. Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2015 include one out-of-state loan participation with a balance of $9.7 million.
At June 30, 2015, classified assets represent 13.9% of bank-level Tier 1 risk-based capital plus allowance for loan losses as compared to 11.3% at March 31, 2015 and 14.6% at June 30, 2014. The increase in this ratio during the second quarter 2015 was primarily the result of the downgrade of a $4.3 million syndicated national credit in our energy portfolio to a substandard classification. We expect that the principal balance of this loan will be fully recovered.
Net recoveries in the second quarter 2015 were $0.2 million as compared to an immaterial level of net recoveries in the first quarter 2015 and net recoveries of $0.6 million in the second quarter 2014. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.1 million as compared to the immaterial credit provision recorded during the first quarter 2015 and the immaterial provision for loan losses recorded in the second quarter 2014. The Bank considered recoveries, historical charge-offs, level of nonperforming loans, loan growth and other factors when determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the resulting amount of loan loss provision to be recognized during the quarter.
Shares Outstanding
As of June 30, 2015, the Company had 21,729,999 shares of common stock outstanding, consisting of 20,710,999 shares of voting common stock, of which 654,972 shares were in the form of unvested stock awards, and 1,019,000 shares of non-voting common stock.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
