EGBN Eagle Bancorp Inc

Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:EGBN), the parent company of EagleBank, today announced record quarterly net income of $27.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a 15% increase over the $24.1 million net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Net income per basic common share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $0.81 compared to $0.72 for the same period in 2016, a 13% increase. Net income per diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $0.81 compared to $0.71 for the same period in 2016, a 14% increase.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company’s net income was $54.8 million, a 15% increase over the $47.5 million for the same period in 2016. Net income per basic common share for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1.61 compared to $1.41 for the same period in 2016, a 14% increase. Net income per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1.60 compared to $1.39 for the same period in 2016, a 15% increase.

“We are very pleased to report a continued quarterly trend of balanced and consistently strong financial performance,” noted Ronald D. Paul, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. “Our net income has increased for 34 consecutive quarters dating back to the first quarter of 2009. We are proud that this performance has been the result of a combination of balance sheet growth, revenue growth, solid asset quality, and improved operating leverage. We continued to benefit from growth in new loans even while anticipated loan maturities increased. Notwithstanding such payoffs, we are very pleased to report continued growth in earnings and earnings per share. Additionally, the new FHA Multifamily lending division is beginning to add revenue."

The Company’s financial performance for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to June 30, 2016 was highlighted by:

• growth in total loans of 11% over the prior year;
• growth in total deposits of 10% over the prior year;
• growth in total revenue of 7% for the first six months of 2017 over 2016;
• a year-to-date annualized net charge-off ratio to average loans of 0.03%;
• noninterest income contribution from our FHA Multifamily lending division;
• further improvement in operating leverage from an already favorable position; and
• a reduction in the efficiency ratio to 39.57% for the first six months of 2017.

Mr. Paul added, “At a time when the net interest margin of banks is being challenged by rising rates, the Company remains committed to cost management measures and strong productivity.” The strong second quarter earnings resulted in an annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 1.60% and an annualized return on average common equity (“ROACE”) of 12.51%.

For the first six months of 2017, total loans grew 5% over December 31, 2016, and averaged 12% higher in the first six months of 2017 as compared to the first six months of 2016. Loan growth has moderated in the second quarter due to both our being more selective in new credit opportunities and due to higher levels of loan maturities as projects continue to perform well. At June 30, 2017, total deposits were 3% higher than deposits at December 31, 2016, while deposits averaged 9% higher for the first six months of 2017 compared with the first six months of 2016.

The net interest margin (“NIM”) was 4.16% for the second quarter of 2017 which was two basis points higher than first quarter of 2017. Mr. Paul noted, “We believe that our NIM remains favorable to peer banks. Importantly, we have been able to sustain attractive loan yields which were 5.14% for the second quarter, up one basis point from first quarter and up four basis points from second quarter in 2016. By achieving better loan yields, which is in part due to having a high percentage of variable rate loans that benefit from short term rate increases by the Federal Reserve, we are doing well in offsetting a higher cost of funds. The Company’s focus continues to be on all the factors that contribute to earnings per share growth, as opposed to dependence on any one factor.”

Total revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) for the second quarter of 2017 was $76.7 million, or 7% above the $71.4 million of total revenue earned for the second quarter of 2016 and was 5% higher than the $73.0 million of revenue earned in the first quarter of 2017. For the six month periods, total revenue was $149.7 million for 2017, as compared to $140.3 million in 2016, a 7% increase.  

The primary driver of the Company’s revenue growth for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to the second quarter in 2016 was its net interest income growth of 9% ($69.7 million versus $63.8 million). Noninterest income (excluding investment gains) declined by 1% in the second quarter 2017 over 2016, due substantially to higher sales in 2016 of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and residential mortgage loans and the resulting gains on the sale of these loans. The lower revenue associated with SBA and residential mortgage loan sales was effectively offset by income of $642 thousand (net of certain transaction expenses) on the origination, securitization, servicing and sale of FHA Multifamily-Backed Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) securities.

Asset quality measures remained solid at June 30, 2017. Net charge-offs (annualized) were 0.02% of average loans for the second quarter of 2017, as compared to 0.15% of average loans for the second quarter of 2016. At June 30, 2017, the Company’s nonperforming loans amounted to $17.1 million (0.29% of total loans) as compared to $21.4 million (0.40% of total loans) at June 30, 2016 and $17.9 million (0.31% of total loans) at December 31, 2016. Nonperforming assets amounted to $18.5 million (0.26% of total assets) at June 30, 2017 compared to $24.5 million (0.39% of total assets) at June 30, 2016 and $20.6 million (0.30% of total assets) at December 31, 2016.

Management continues to remain attentive to any signs of deterioration in borrowers’ financial conditions and is proactive in taking the appropriate steps to mitigate risk. Furthermore, the Company is diligent in placing loans on nonaccrual status and believes, based on its loan portfolio risk analysis, that its allowance for credit losses, at 1.02% of total loans (excluding loans held for sale) at June 30, 2017, is adequate to absorb potential credit losses within the loan portfolio at that date. The allowance for credit losses was 1.05% at June 30, 2016 and 1.04% of total loans at December 31, 2016. The allowance at June 30, 2017 for credit losses represented 356% of nonperforming loans, as compared to 264% at June 30, 2016 and 330% at December 31, 2016.

“The Company’s productivity continued to improve in the second quarter,” noted Mr. Paul. The efficiency ratio of 39.10% reflects management’s ongoing efforts to maintain superior operating leverage. The annualized level of noninterest expenses as a percentage of average assets has declined to 1.72% in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 1.83% in the second quarter of 2016. A relatively stable staff, capacity utilization, branch rationalization, a low level of problem assets, and leveraging of other fixed costs have been the major reasons for improved operating leverage. Additionally, the Company continues investments in IT systems and resources, including its online client services. Our goal is to improve operating performance without inhibiting growth or negatively impacting our ability to service our customers. Mr. Paul further noted, “We will continue to maintain strict oversight of expenses, while retaining an infrastructure to remain competitive, support our growth initiatives and manage risk.”

Total assets at June 30, 2017 were $7.24 billion, a 14% increase as compared to $6.37 billion at June 30, 2016, and a 5% increase as compared to $6.89 billion at December 31, 2016. Total loans (excluding loans held for sale) were $5.99 billion at June 30, 2017, an 11% increase as compared to $5.40 billion at June 30, 2016, and a 5% increase as compared to $5.68 billion at December 31, 2016. Loans held for sale amounted to $49.3 million at June 30, 2017 as compared to $59.3 million at June 30, 2016, a 17% decrease, and $51.6 million at December 31, 2016, a 5% decrease. The investment portfolio totaled $497.7 million at June 30, 2017, a 22% increase from the $409.5 million balance at June 30, 2016. As compared to December 31, 2016, the investment portfolio at June 30, 2017 decreased by $40.4 million or 8%.

Total deposits at June 30, 2017 were $5.87 billion, compared to deposits of $5.34 billion at June 30, 2016, a 10% increase, and deposits of $5.72 billion at December 31, 2016, a 3% increase. Total borrowed funds (excluding customer repurchase agreements) were $361.7 million at June 30, 2017, $119.0 million at June 30, 2016 and $216.5 million at December 31, 2016. We continue to work on expanding the breadth and depth of our existing relationships while we pursue building new relationships.

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2017 increased 15%, to $902.7 million, compared to $788.6 million at June 30, 2016, and increased 7%, from $842.8 million at December 31, 2016. The Company’s capital position remains substantially in excess of regulatory requirements for well capitalized status, with a total risk based capital ratio of 15.13% at June 30, 2017, as compared to 12.73% at June 30, 2016, and 14.89% at December 31, 2016. In addition, the tangible common equity ratio was 11.15% at June 30, 2017, compared to 10.88% at June 30, 2016 and 10.84% at December 31, 2016.

Analysis of the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported an annualized ROAA of 1.60% as compared to 1.57% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The annualized ROACE for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 12.51%, as compared to 12.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. 

Net interest income increased 9% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 over the same period in 2016 ($69.7 million versus $63.8 million), resulting from growth in average earning assets of 13%. The net interest margin was 4.16% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 4.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Company believes its net interest margin remains favorable compared to peer banking companies and that its disciplined approach to managing the loan portfolio yield to 5.14% for the second quarter in 2017 has been a significant factor in its overall profitability.

The provision for credit losses was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The lower provisioning in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to the second quarter of 2016, is primarily due to lower loan growth, as net loans increased $160.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to an increase of $247.6 million in the same period in 2016, and to overall improved asset quality. Net charge-offs of $366 thousand in the second quarter of 2017 represented an annualized 0.02% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, as compared to $2.0 million, or an annualized 0.15% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, in the second quarter of 2016. Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2017 were attributable primarily to income producing - commercial real estate ($969 thousand) offset by recoveries in construction - commercial and residential ($343 thousand) and commercial and industrial loans ($254 thousand).

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased to $7.0 million from $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, due primarily to lesser net gains on the sale of investments ($26 thousand in 2017 versus $498 thousand in 2016), a decrease of $888 thousand in gains on the sale of SBA loans, a decrease in gains on sales of residential mortgages of $584 thousand, offset by revenue associated with the origination, securitization, servicing, and sale of FHA Multifamily-Backed GNMA securities of $642 thousand (net of certain transaction expenses), an increase in other miscellaneous income of $335 thousand, and an increase in other loan income of $137 thousand. Residential mortgage loans closed were $188 million for the second quarter in 2017 versus $214 million for the second quarter of 2016. Excluding gains on sales of investment securities, noninterest income was $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of 1%.     

The efficiency ratio, which measures the ratio of noninterest expense to total revenue, was 39.10% for the second quarter of 2017, as compared to 39.63% for the second quarter of 2016. Noninterest expenses totaled $30.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $28.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a 6% increase. Cost increases for salaries and benefits were $961 thousand, due primarily to increased staff, merit increases and incentive compensation. Marketing and advertising expense increased by $327 thousand primarily due to costs associated with expanded digital and print advertising. Legal, accounting and professional fees increased by $286 thousand primarily due to enhanced IT risk management.

Analysis of the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported an annualized ROAA of 1.61% as compared to 1.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The annualized ROACE for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 12.62%, as compared to 12.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The higher ratios are due to increased earnings.

Net interest income increased 8% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 over the same period in 2016 ($136.6 million versus $126.4 million), resulting from growth in average earning assets of 12%. The net interest margin was 4.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 4.30% for the same period in 2016. The Company believes its net interest margin remains favorable compared to peer banking companies and that its disciplined approach to managing the loan portfolio yield to 5.13% for the first six months in 2017 has been a significant factor in its overall profitability. Additionally, the percentage of average noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits was 32% for the first six months in 2017 versus 30% for the same period in 2016.

The provision for credit losses was $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The lower provisioning in the first six months of 2017, as compared to the first six months of 2016, is due to lower loan growth, as net loans increased $307.1 million during the first six months of 2017, as compared to an increase of $405.1 million during the same period in 2016, and to overall improved asset quality. Net charge-offs of $989 thousand in the first six months of 2017 represented an annualized 0.03% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, as compared to $3.1 million or an annualized 0.12% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, in the first six months of 2016. Net charge-offs in the first six months of 2017 were attributable primarily to income producing - commercial real estate ($1.4 million) offset by recoveries in construction - commercial and residential ($346 thousand) and commercial and industrial loans ($131 thousand).

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $13.1 million as compared to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a 6% decrease due primarily to lesser net gains on the sale of investments ($531 thousand in 2017 and $1.1 million in 2016), a decrease of $1.1 million in gains on the sale of SBA loans, offset by revenue associated with the origination, securitization, servicing, and sale of FHA Multifamily-Backed GNMA securities of $642 thousand (net of certain transaction expenses), and an increase in other miscellaneous income of $213 thousand. Excluding investment securities net gains, total noninterest income was $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2016, a 1% decrease.

Noninterest expenses totaled $59.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $56.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a 5% increase. Cost increases for salaries and benefits were $1.5 million, due primarily to increased staff and merit increases. Marketing and advertising expense increased by $447 thousand primarily due to costs associated with expanded digital and print advertising. Legal, accounting and professional fees increased by $225 thousand primarily due to enhanced IT risk management. Other expenses increased $740 thousand primarily due to higher broker fees.  For the first six months of 2017, the efficiency ratio was 39.57% as compared to 40.20% for the same period in 2016.

(1) Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible common equity ratio") and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios and as such is useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions. The table below provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.

(1) Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible common equity ratio") and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios and as such is useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions.
(2) Computed by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.
(3) Excludes loans held for sale.
