Independent Bank Corp. Reports Third Quarter Operating Net Income of $18.6 Million

October 15, 2015 4:07 PM

ROCKLAND, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Independent Bank Corp. (NASDAQ: INDB), parent of Rockland Trust Company, today announced 2015 third quarter net income of $18.6 million, or $0.71 per diluted share as compared to $17.5 million, or $0.67 per diluted share in the prior quarter. The second quarter of 2015 contained items which the Company considers non-core, such as merger and acquisition expenses, gains and losses on the sale of fixed income securities, and impairment on acquired facilities. The third quarter contained no such items. When excluding non-core items, net operating earnings for the third quarter of $18.6 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, increased by 4.1% and 4.4%, respectively, as compared to the prior quarter’s net operating earnings of $17.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share.

“Loan growth improved and asset quality remained strong during the third quarter,” said Christopher Oddleifson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent and Rockland Trust. “Rockland Trust has steadily increased earnings due to the disciplined efforts of my colleagues, who face intense competition every day. We remain focused on responsible, relationship-based growth and expansion.”

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets of $7.1 billion at September 30, 2015 decreased by $60.4 million, or 0.8%, from the prior quarter and increased by $751.1 million, or 11.8%, as compared to the year ago period, inclusive of the acquisition of Peoples Federal Bancshares ("Peoples").

The commercial loan portfolio increased by $49.1 million, or 1.3% (5.0% annualized) over the prior quarter, led by growth in the commercial real estate and construction sectors, as business activity continued to remain strong throughout the Company's footprint. The home equity portfolio also continued to experience growth due to sustained direct mail campaigns with an increase of 1.9% (7.6% annualized) over the prior quarter, while the residential mortgage portfolio remained stable in the third quarter. These factors contributed to growth in total loans at September 30, 2015 of $63.3 million, or 1.2% (4.6% annualized) over the prior quarter. Compared to the prior year period, total loans increased by $550.3 million, or 11.1%, inclusive of the Peoples acquisition.

Total deposits at September 30, 2015 decreased by $55.7 million, or 0.9% from the prior quarter and increased by $612.4 million, or 11.5% over the prior year period, inclusive of the acquisition of Peoples. Core deposits decreased by $41.2 million, or 3.1% on an annualized basis from the prior quarter, and represent 87.8% of total deposits at September 30, 2015, consistent with prior quarter levels. The decline in total and core deposits for the quarter was due in part to an outflow from a large short-term deposit related to the Company’s tax section 1031 exchange business as well as seasonal declines in government banking deposits. Total cost of deposits remained low at 20 basis points during the quarter, reflecting the Company’s continued emphasis on its core deposit customer base.

The securities portfolio increased by $10.6 million from the prior quarter to $814.4 million at September 30, 2015, due primarily to the purchase of $50.6 million of additional securities, offset by principal paydowns during the quarter. The securities portfolio comprised 11.4% of total assets as of September 30, 2015.

Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2015 rose to $759.2 million, an increase of 2.1% from June 30, 2015. Compared to the year ago period, stockholders’ equity has increased by $132.0 million, or 21.0%, fueled primarily by the Peoples acquisition and strong earnings results. The strong growth in capital led to a further increase in the Company’s tangible book value per share of $0.59, or 2.9%, during the third quarter, to $20.81, which is 11.5% above the prior year level. In addition, the Company’s tangible common ratio of 7.88% represents an increase of 30 basis points from the prior quarter.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased to $55.0 million for the third quarter as compared to $53.7 million in the linked quarter, driven primarily by higher average earning asset levels. During the third quarter, the Company’s net interest margin decreased by four basis points from the prior quarter to 3.39%. The decline is reflective of increased liquid asset levels along with ongoing pressure on loan yields, partially offset by a three basis point positive impact from a security prepayment.

NONINTEREST INCOME

The Company recorded noninterest income of $19.2 million during the third quarter, which represents a $1.0 million, or 5.0%, decrease from the linked quarter. Significant changes in noninterest income in the third quarter compared to the prior quarter included the following:

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

The Company recorded noninterest expense of $47.0 million during the third quarter, a $1.6 million, or 3.3%, decrease from the prior quarter. Significant changes in noninterest expense in the third quarter compared to the prior quarter included the following:

The Company generated a return on average assets and a return on average common equity of 1.03% and 9.75%, respectively, in the third quarter, as compared to 1.00% and 9.43%, respectively, for the prior quarter. On an operating basis, the return on average assets and the return on average common equity for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were 1.03% and 9.75%, respectively, as compared to 1.03% and 9.65%, respectively, for the prior quarter.

ASSET QUALITY

Asset quality metrics remained strong during the third quarter with total net charge-offs of $590,000, or 0.04% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to 0.02% for the quarter ending June 30, 2015. The provision for loan losses was $800,000 for the third quarter as compared to $700,000 in the second quarter. Nonperforming loans increased during the third quarter by $3.4 million to $29.6 million, and represent 0.54% of total loans at September 30, 2015, as compared to 0.48% at June 30, 2015. Inclusive of a reduction in other real estate owned, total nonperforming assets increased to $32.1 million at the end of the third quarter, from $31.3 million at the end of the prior quarter. Delinquency as a percentage of loans was 0.43% at September 30, 2015, a decrease of six basis points from the prior quarter.

The allowance for loan losses was $55.2 million at September 30, 2015, as compared to $55.0 million at June 30, 2015. The Company’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.00% and 1.01% at September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively, inclusive of the Peoples portfolio.

This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company. These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect,” “achieve,” “plan,” “believe,” “future,” “positioned,” “continued,” “will,” “would,” “potential,” or similar statements or variations of such terms. Actual results may differ from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements.

Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements as the Company’s business and its forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (“Risk Factors”). Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise. Any public statements or disclosures by the Company following this release which modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this release will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this release. In addition to the information set forth in this press release, you should carefully consider the Risk Factors.

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). This information includes operating earnings and operating EPS, return on average assets and return on average common equity calculated on an operating basis. The non-GAAP financial measures, including operating earnings and operating EPS, exclude gain or loss due to items that management believes are unrelated to its core banking business and will not have a material financial impact on operating results in future periods, such as gains or losses on the sales of securities, merger and acquisition expenses, and other items. The Company’s management uses operating earnings and operating EPS to measure the strength of the Company’s core banking business and to identify trends that may to some extent be obscured by such excluded gains or losses. The Company has included information on these non-GAAP measures because management believes that investors may find it useful to have access to the same analytical tool used by management and may also find that it facilitates the comparison of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. An item which management deems to be non-core and excludes when computing these non-GAAP measures can be of substantial importance to the Company’s results for any particular quarter or year. The Company’s non-GAAP performance measures, including operating earnings and operating EPS, are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.
