• Net income for the second quarter of 2019 adjusted for $1.2 million of acquisition costs, $526,000 of net accretion on loans, certificates of deposit (“CDs”) and borrowings, and $131,000 of core deposit intangible (“CDI”) amortization (adjusted at a 21% tax rate) would have been $5.1 million, or $1.12 per diluted share (See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”);
  
  
• Deposits increased $12.7 million, or 1.0%, during the quarter to $1.33 billion at June 30, 2019, compared to $1.32 billion at March 31, 2019, and increased $464.1 million, or 53.3%, from $870.1 million at June 30, 2018, mainly due to the deposits assumed from the acquisition of Anchor Bancorp (“Anchor Acquisition”);

Balance Sheet and Credit Quality

Total assets increased $14.9 million, or 0.9%, to $1.64 billion at June 30, 2019, compared to $1.63 billion at March 31, 2019, and increased $508.5 million, or 44.9%, from $1.13 billion at June 30, 2018.  The quarter over linked quarter increase in total assets was primarily due to the increase in loans held for sale (“HFS”) of $20.9 million, and an increase in CDs at other financial institutions of $2.2 million, partially offset by decreases of $3.5 million in both total cash and cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale. Year over year increases in total assets included increases in loans receivable, net of $400.9 million, total cash and cash equivalents of $37.6 million, bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) of $21.4 million, premises and equipment, net of $13.2 million, loans HFS of $11.3 million, CDs at other financial institutions of $6.7 million, other assets of $5.2 million, core deposit intangible, net of $4.7 million, and operating lease right-of-use assets of $4.6 million.  The year over year increase in loans receivable, net was primarily due to the loans acquired in the Anchor Acquisition, along with organic loan growth.

Loans receivable, net was relatively unchanged at $1.28 billion for both June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, and increased $400.9 million from $881.2 million at June 30, 2018.  The quarter over linked quarter decrease in total real estate loans was $23.4 million, including decreases in one-to-four-family portfolio of $12.9 million, construction and development of $5.1 million, home equity of $3.9 million, and commercial real estate of $1.8 million, partially offset by an increase in multi-family of $222,000. Consumer loans increased $19.4 million, primarily due to increases of $13.5 million in indirect home improvement loans and $6.2 million in marine loans. Commercial business loans increased $3.1 million, primarily due to an increase in warehouse lending of $5.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in commercial and industrial loans of $2.0 million. 

One-to-four-family loans originated through the home lending segment, which includes loans HFS, loans held for investment, fixed rate seconds, and loans brokered to other institutions, was $208.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $64.3 million, or 44.7%, compared to $143.7 million for the preceding quarter, and an increase of $15.8 million, or 8.2% from $192.2 million, for the comparable quarter one year ago.

The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) at June 30, 2019 increased to $12.3 million, or 1.0% of gross loans receivable, excluding loans HFS, compared to $11.8 million, or 0.9% of gross loans receivable, excluding loans HFS at March 31, 2019, and $11.6 million, or 1.3% of gross loans receivable, excluding loans HFS, at June 30, 2018.  Non-performing loans decreased to $1.6 million at June 30, 2019, from $3.0 million at March 31, 2019, primarily from the pay-off of a one-to-four-family loan in the amount of $834,000, the charge-off of one commercial business relationship totaling $431,000, and a transfer of a one-to-four-family loan in the amount of $88,000 to other real estate owned (“OREO”).  Non-performing loans increased to $1.6 million at June 30, 2019, from $627,000 at June 30, 2018, primarily as a result of the Anchor Acquisition.  Substandard loans decreased to $6.5 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $7.1 million at March 31, 2019, and increased from $5.8 million at June 30, 2018.  There were three OREO properties totaling $254,000 at June 30, 2019, and two OREO properties totaling $167,000 at March 31, 2019, compared to no OREO properties at June 30, 2018.

The ALLL does not include the recorded discount on loans acquired in the Anchor Acquisition of $3.7 million on $278.4 million of gross loans at June 30, 2019.

The Bank sold $10.5 million of securities available-for-sale during the second quarter of 2019 realizing a gain of $32,000.  The Bank sold these securities to reduce portfolio duration and sell lower yielding investments. The proceeds were used to pay down overnight borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) federal funds.

Total deposits increased slightly to $1.33 billion at June 30, 2019, compared to $1.32 billion at March 31, 2019, and increased $464.1 million from $870.1 million at June 30, 2018.  Relationship-based transactional deposits (noninterest-bearing checking, interest-bearing checking, and escrow accounts) increased $32.7 million from March 31, 2019, primarily due to a $40.0 million increase in noninterest-bearing checking, and increased $147.3 million from June 30, 2018.  Money market and savings accounts decreased $28.1 million from March 31, 2019, and increased $77.2 million from June 30, 2018.  Time deposits increased $8.1 million from March 31, 2019, and increased $239.7 million, from June 30, 2018.  Year over year increases were primarily due to the deposits assumed in the Anchor Acquisition.

At June 30, 2019, non-retail CDs which include brokered CDs, online CDs, public deposits CDs, and public funds CDs decreased $12.0 million to $118.9 million, compared to $130.9 million at March 31, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in brokered CDs of $15.1 million, partially offset by an increase of $3.2 million in online CDs. The year over year increase in non-retail CDs of $31.4 million from $87.6 million at June 30, 2018, primarily reflects a $28.0 million increase in brokered CDs, and an increase of $3.2 million in online CDs.  Management remains focused on increasing our lower cost relationship-based deposits to fund long-term asset growth.

At June 30, 2019, borrowings decreased $3.6 million, or 4.2%, to $83.2 million, from $86.8 million at March 31, 2019, and decreased $23.3 million from $106.5 million at June 30, 2018.  The quarter and year to date decreases in borrowings were primarily related to the repayment of FHLB federal funds to take advantage of lower cost FHLB advances.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $3.5 million, to $189.4 million at June 30, 2019, from $186.0 million at March 31, 2019, and increased $60.1 million, from $129.4 million at June 30, 2018.  The increase in stockholders’ equity from the first quarter was primarily due to net income of $4.5 million, and a $932,000 reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss to a gain, net of tax of $496,000, representing an increase in the fair value of our investment portfolio, partially offset by common stock repurchases of $2.5 million.  The Company repurchased 47,186 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, at an average price of $48.05 per share. At June 30, 2019, 172,378 shares remain available for repurchase pursuant to our January 2019 Share Repurchase Plan.  The $60.1 million increase in total stockholders’ equity from the second quarter of 2018 was significantly impacted by the shares issued in the Anchor Acquisition.  Book value per common share was $43.18 at June 30, 2019, compared to $42.48 at March 31, 2019, and $35.94 at June 30, 2018.

The Bank is well capitalized under the minimum capital requirements established by the FDIC with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.7%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.4%, and a common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio of 13.8% at June 30, 2019. 

The Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.4%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.1%, and a CET1 ratio of 13.5% at June 30, 2019.

Operating Results

Net interest income increased $5.6 million, to $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  This increase was a result of an $8.0 million increase in loans receivable interest income, including additional interest from loans acquired in the Anchor Acquisition, and a $376,000 increase in interest and dividends on investment securities, and cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in deposit interest expense due to assumed deposits and continued organic growth combined with higher market interest rates, and a $110,000 increase in interest expense on borrowings mainly from the use of FHLB advances. Net interest income increased $11.8 million, to $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $23.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, mostly attributable to a $16.8 million increase in interest income on loans receivable, partially offset by a $5.9 million increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings.  The increases in interest income and interest expense were primarily impacted by the loans acquired and deposits assumed in the Anchor Acquisition.

The net interest margin (“NIM”) increased two basis points to 4.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from 4.58% for the same period in the prior year, and decreased one basis point to 4.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 4.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The quarter over quarter increase in NIM was driven primarily by a positive incremental interest accretion on loans acquired in the Anchor Acquisition of 20 basis points, partially offset by higher cost market rate deposits and increased borrowing costs. The year over year decrease in NIM was mostly driven by higher cost market rate deposits and increased borrowing costs, partially offset by a positive impact from incremental interest accretion on loans acquired in the Anchor Acquisition of 18 basis points. The average cost of funds increased 48 basis points to 1.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from 0.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  This increase was predominantly due to growth in higher market rate deposits, primarily those assumed in the Anchor Acquisition along with overall deposit growth. The year over year average cost of funds increased 56 basis points to 1.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from 0.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 reflecting the increase in market interest rates over the last year.  Management remains focused on matching deposit/liability duration with the duration of loans/assets where appropriate.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the provision for loan losses was $910,000 and $1.7 million, compared to $450,000, and $800,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.  During the three months ended June 30, 2019, net charge-offs totaled $415,000, compared to $19,000 for the same period last year.  Net charge-offs totaled $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net recoveries of $15,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018.  For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the significant increase in charge-offs was primarily due to one commercial business relationship totaling $431,000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, the increase was primarily due to the charge-off of a commercial line of credit of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Noninterest income increased $469,000, to $6.1 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase during the period primarily reflects a $1.2 million increase in service charges and fee income primarily due to deposit accounts assumed in the Anchor Acquisition and deposit growth, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in gain on sale of loans.  Noninterest income was unchanged at $10.6 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018.  Service charges and fee income increased $2.2 million, other noninterest income increased $312,000, and earnings on cash surrender value of BOLI increased $262,000, partially offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in gain on sale of loans.

Noninterest expense increased $4.9 million, to $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase in noninterest expense was primarily as a result of the Anchor Acquisition and growth in our operations with increases of $1.1 million in operations, $978,000 in salaries and benefits, $656,000 in data processing, and $526,000 in occupancy expense.  Acquisition costs were $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to none for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and were primarily due to the integration of the Anchor Bank core processing platform. Noninterest expense increased $8.7 million, to $31.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase during the period was primarily due to increases of $2.2 million in salaries and benefits, $1.8 million in operations, $1.6 million in acquisition costs, $1.3 million in data processing, $989,000 in occupancy expense, $259,000 in professional and board fees, $256,000 in FDIC insurance, and $227,000 in amortization of core deposit intangible. Acquisition costs were $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to none for the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States (“GAAP”), this earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures: net income and diluted earnings per share, excluding net accretion/amortization on loans, CDs, and borrowings, acquisition costs, and acquisition-related CDI amortization, net of tax; and tangible book value per share. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends reflected in the current quarter’s results and facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. The after-tax impact of acquisition-related costs to net income which we have recorded in connection with the Anchor Acquisition provides meaningful supplemental information that management believes is useful to readers.  Where applicable, the Company has also presented comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures.

Tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated by excluding intangible assets from stockholders’ equity.  For this financial measure, the Company’s intangible assets are goodwill and core deposit intangible. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding. The Company believes that this measure is consistent with the capital treatment by the investment community, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and presents this measure to facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison to its competitors. 

These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total stockholders' equity or operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
