April 25, 2019 8:00 AM

WARSAW, Ind., April 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lakeland Financial Corporation (Nasdaq Global Select/LKFN), parent company of Lake City Bank, today reported record quarterly net income of $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of 18% versus $18.3 million for the first quarter of 2018. Diluted earnings per share also increased 18% to $0.84 for the first quarter of 2019, versus $0.71 for the first quarter of 2018, also representing a record quarter for the company and its shareholders. On a linked quarter basis, net income increased $319,000, or 1% from the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018, which had net income of $21.4 million and $0.83 diluted earnings per share.

David M. Findlay, President & CEO commented, “Our record results reflect our continued strong revenue growth, a healthy asset quality environment and stable economic trends in our Lake City Bank footprint. The opening of our 50th office in downtown Indianapolis this quarter highlights our continued organic growth strategy."

Highlights for the quarter are noted below.

1st Quarter 2019 versus 1st Quarter 2018 highlights:

1st Quarter 2019 versus 4th Quarter 2018 highlights:

As announced on April 9, 2019, the board of directors approved a cash dividend for the first quarter of $0.30 per share, payable on May 6, 2019, to shareholders of record as of April 25, 2019. The 2019 dividend rate per share approved in April represents a 16% increase over the accumulated quarterly dividends paid in 2018.

Return on average total equity for the first quarter of 2019 was 16.59%, compared to 15.82% in the first quarter of 2018 and 16.76% in the linked fourth quarter of 2018. Return on average assets for the first quarter of 2018 was 1.80%, compared to 1.58% in the first quarter of 2018 and 1.75% in the linked fourth quarter of 2018. The company’s total capital as a percent of risk-weighted assets was 14.38% at March 31, 2019, compared to 13.41% at March 31, 2018 and 14.20% at December 31, 2018. The company’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio1 was 11.04% at March 31, 2019, compared to 9.94% at March 31, 2018 and 10.63% at December 31, 2018.

Findlay added, “The strength of our balance sheet is demonstrated by our strong capital position. We are pleased to continue our history of double digit dividend increases for our shareholders. The dividend increase is the outcome of consistent long-term growth in earnings and its positive impact to our capital base. Over the last five years, we have increased our dividend by 21% annually on a compound annual growth basis.”

Average total loans for the first quarter of 2019 were $3.92 billion, an increase of $126.1 million, or 3%, versus $3.79 billion for the first quarter 2018. On a linked quarter basis, total average loans grew $12.5 million from $3.91 billion at December 31, 2018. Total loans outstanding grew $93.3 million, or 2%, from $3.85 billion as of March 31, 2018 to $3.94 billion as of March 31, 2019.

Average total deposits were $4.09 billion for the first quarters of 2019 and 2018. Total deposits grew $47.9 million, or 1%, from $4.10 billion as of March 31, 2018 to $4.15 billion as of March 31, 2019. In addition, total core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits, increased $128.8 million, or 3%, from $3.88 billion at March 31, 2018 to $4.01 billion at March 31, 2019 due to growth in commercial deposits of $238.1 million or 25%, offset by decreases in public fund deposits of $80.0 million or 6%, and decreases in retail deposits of $29.3 million, or 2%.

Findlay noted, “We are pleased with the growth momentum reflected in the increase in commercial deposits. We are particularly pleased that the total number of commercial noninterest bearing checking accounts have increased by 11% over a two-year period. This increase in accounts has been accompanied by a 23% increase in balances over the same timeframe.”

The company’s net interest margin increased nine basis points to 3.45% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 3.36% for the first quarter of 2018. The higher margin in the first quarter of 2019 was due to higher yields on loans, partially offset by a higher cost of funds, driven by the Federal Reserve Bank increasing the target Federal Funds Rate in March, June, September and December of 2018.

Linked quarter net interest margin declined by seven basis points due to an increase of five basis points in earning asset yields and an offsetting increase in cost of funds of twelve basis points. The net interest margin was 3.52% for the linked fourth quarter of 2018, and was positively impacted by four basis points due to the payoff of a nonaccrual loan and other nonaccrual loan adjustments. Thus, the net interest margin run rate for the fourth quarter excluding those adjustments was 3.48%. As a result, net interest margin in the first quarter declined by three basis points when compared to the fourth quarter core run rate net interest margin.

Earning asset yields were negatively impacted by a decline in investment security yields during the first quarter 2019 due to the combined effect of the flattening yield curve and the corresponding increase in the fair value of the investment securities portfolio, as well as the impact of the adoption of the FASB accounting standard update, which amended the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The decline in investment security portfolio yields reduced net interest margin by two basis points during the quarter. In addition, loan yields were elevated by four basis points in the fourth quarter of 2018 as previously noted. On a linked fourth quarter basis, cost of funds increased by twelve basis points versus a thirteen basis point increase in the prior third linked quarter of 2018.

“With the widening expectation that the Federal Reserve may be in a holding pattern with respect to future rates changes, we have taken steps to maintain our net interest margin. Deposit rates have remained generally unchanged during the quarter in our markets and we believe that our net interest margin will be stable moving into the second quarter,” commented Findlay.

The company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2018 and $300,000 in the linked fourth quarter of 2018. The lower provision in the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to lower net charge offs compared to the first quarter of 2018. Net charge offs in the first quarter of 2019 were $91,000 versus net charge offs of $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2018 and net charge offs of $189,000 during the linked fourth quarter of 2018. Annualized net charge offs to average loans were 0.01% for the first quarter of 2019 versus 0.51% for the first quarter of 2018. Annualized net charge offs to average loans were 0.02% for the linked fourth quarter of 2018.

Nonperforming assets decreased $4.2 million, or 37%, to $7.0 million as of March 31, 2019 versus $11.2 million as of March 31, 2018 due to a decrease in nonaccrual loans. On a linked quarter basis, nonperforming assets were $604,000 or 8% lower than the $7.6 million reported as of December 31, 2018. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets at March 31, 2019 decreased to 0.14% from 0.24% at March 31, 2018 and 0.16% at December 31, 2018. Loan loss reserve to total loans increased to 1.26% as of March 31, 2019 as compared with 1.19% as of March 31, 2018 and up from 1.24% as of December 31, 2018.

The company’s noninterest income increased $1.6 million, or 17%, to $11.5 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $9.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. Noninterest income was positively impacted by an 18% increase over the prior year first quarter in recurring fee income for service charges on deposit accounts, primarily due to growth in treasury management fees from business accounts. In addition, loan and service fees increased 10% and wealth advisory fees increased by 8% compared to the first quarter 2018 due to continued growth of client relationships. Noninterest income increased by $1.4 million or 14% on a linked quarter basis to $11.5 million due to increases in bank owned life insurance income, swap fees generated from commercial lending transactions and improvement in mortgage banking income.

The company’s noninterest expense increased $1.3 million, or 6%, to $22.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $21.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 and decreased by $79,000 on a linked quarter basis. Salaries and employee benefits increased on a year over year basis primarily due to higher employee health insurance expense, staffing increases in revenue producing areas and normal merit increases.

Findlay commented, “Continued investment in our people and our technology-driven financial services solutions for clients is a critical part of our long term success. The Lake City Bank team is our defining difference, but we must remain committed to delivering innovative technology solutions as well. We continue to invest heavily in technology to ensure that we can deliver innovative, technology-driven solutions to our customers.”

The company’s efficiency ratio was 45.2% for the first quarter of 2019, compared to 46.0% for the first quarter of 2018 and 45.4% for the linked fourth quarter of 2018.

(3)Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balance of taxable loans.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio are non-GAAP financial measures calculated using GAAP amounts. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of stockholders’ equity, net of deferred tax. Tangible assets are calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of total assets, net of deferred tax. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the number of shares outstanding. Because not all companies use the same calculation of tangible common equity and tangible assets, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies. However, management considers these measures of the company’s value including only earning assets as meaningful to an understanding of the company’s financial information. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per share data).
