National Commerce Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2017 Earnings

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Commerce Corporation (Nasdaq:NCOM) (“NCC” or the “Company”), the parent company of National Bank of Commerce (“NBC”), today reported second quarter 2017 net income to common shareholders of $6.4 million, compared to $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2016.  Diluted net earnings per share were $0.48 in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $0.45 in the first quarter of 2017 and $0.39 in the second quarter of 2016.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company successfully completed an underwritten public offering of 1,104,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $37.00 per share and announced the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire Patriot Bank, headquartered in Trinity, Florida.  “We are pleased to report these second quarter results, which reflect the hard work by our team during the quarter,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Murray, IV.  “We also know that the year is only half complete, so we need to stay focused on our work to grow the business while maintaining an emphasis on asset quality.”

Several important measures from the second quarter of 2017 are as follows:

  • Net Interest Margin (taxable equivalent) of 4.34% for the second quarter of 2017, compared to 4.18% for the first quarter of 2017 and 4.23% for the second quarter of 2016.  The second quarter 2017 margin increased 0.16% compared to the 2017 first quarter due primarily to an increased yield on loans during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the 2017 first quarter.

  • Return on Average Assets of 1.06% for the second quarter of 2017, compared to 1.00% for the second quarter of 2016. 

  • Return on Average Tangible Common Equity of 11.49% for the second quarter of 2017, compared to 10.31% for the second quarter of 2016.

  • Second quarter 2017 loan growth (excluding mortgage loans held-for-sale) of $63.9 million. Excluding factored receivables in the Company’s factoring subsidiary, Corporate Billing, LLC, second quarter 2017 loan growth was approximately $48.8 million.

  • Deposits decreased $75.8 million during the 2017 second quarter, primarily due to a decline in a few large deposit relationships and the maturity of a $25.0 million certificate of deposit.

  • $133.1 million in 2017 second quarter mortgage production, compared to $130.9 million for the first quarter of 2017 and $91.5 million during the 2016 second quarter.  The first and second quarter of 2017 production includes mortgages closed by the mortgage division that the Company acquired in the Private Bancshares, Inc. transaction.

  • $251.0 million in 2017 second quarter purchased volume in the factoring division, compared to $253.6 million for the first quarter of 2017 and $167.1 million during the second quarter of 2016.

  • A decrease in non-acquired non-performing assets to $1.2 million at June 30, 2017, from $2.5 million at March 31, 2017.

  • Annualized net charge-offs of 0.07% of average loans for the second quarter of 2017, compared to net charge-offs of 0.05% for the second quarter of 2016.

  • Provision for loan losses of $1.2 million during the second quarter of 2017, compared to $156 thousand in the 2017 first quarter and $901 thousand in the second quarter of 2016.  The increase during the 2017 second quarter was attributable in part to net charge-offs during the 2017 second quarter and loan growth.

  • Ending tangible book value per share of $18.45.

  • Ending book value per share of $25.82.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures presented in this press release and included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements are not measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).  These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, allowance for loan losses to nonacquired loans, efficiency ratio and operating efficiency ratio.  The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of the Company’s performance.

  • “Tangible common equity” is total shareholders’ equity less goodwill, other intangible assets and minority interest not included in intangible assets.

  • “Average tangible common equity” is defined as the average of tangible common equity for the applicable period.

  • “Return on average tangible common equity,” or ROATCE, is defined as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common equity.

  • “Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding.  This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

The Company’s management believes these above measures, each of which utilizes the concept of tangible common equity rather than total common equity, provide useful information to management and investors because they eliminate the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets created in an acquisition.  These measures are commonly used by investors when assessing financial institutions.

  • “Allowance for loan losses to nonacquired loans” is defined as the total allowance for loan losses, less the allowance for loan losses attributable to factored receivables, divided by nonacquired loans held for investment, excluding factored receivables at the end of the period.  This measure is important to investors because it disaggregates the acquired and non-acquired loans and provides a measure that may be more comparable to a bank that has no acquired loans.   This measure also excludes the allowance and factored receivable balances at the Company’s subsidiary, Corporate Billing, LLC, which is helpful to investors because of the unique nature of that business and the rapid turnover of those receivables, and provides a measure that is more comparable to a bank that does not have a receivables factoring business.

  • “Efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue (which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income), excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities.  This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

  • “Operating efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue, excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities and one-time gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition activities.  This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, the Company acknowledges that the non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations.  As such, the Company cautions readers that these disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these disclosures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.  These non-GAAP financial measures exclude various items detailed in the attached “Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”
