Stonegate Bank (OTCBB: SGBK) reported an increase in net income
in the first quarter of 2013 over the first quarter of 2012. Net
income was $2,293,000 or 27.8 cents per share for the first quarter
of 2013, as compared to net income of $2,242,000 or 27.2 cents per
share in the first quarter of 2012.
Income and Expenses: Total interest income
increased slightly from $9.8 million in the first quarter of 2012
to $10.0 million in the first quarter of 2013. This was achieved
largely due to an increase in loans of $91 million despite an
overall decrease in investment income of $217,000 period to period.
Total interest expense decreased from $1.88 million in the first
quarter of 2012 compared to $1.72 million in the first quarter of
2013. This occurred even though total deposits increased $134
million period to period. Further, the Bank's cost of funds for
March 2013 decreased 21 basis points from March 2012. The result is
an improvement in net interest income from $7.9 million in the
first quarter of 2012 to $8.3 million in the first quarter of
2013.
Total non-interest income decreased to $856,000 in the first
quarter of 2013 from $1,079,000 in the first quarter of 2012. The
largest change in non-interest income was a decrease of $336,000 in
derivative fees period to period.
The Bank realized security gains of $745,000 in the first
quarter of 2013. These gains were taken largely to reduce the size
of the investment portfolio and to shorten the duration of the
portfolio.
Non-interest expense increased to $6.0 million for the first
quarter of 2013 from $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2012.
The increase in non-interest expense is related to the addition of
the Bank's Doral office in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Margin and Cost of Funds: Total cost of
funds declined from a 0.92% December 2012 month-to-date average to
0.82% March 2013 month-to-date average. Stonegate Bank's net
interest margin declined from a fourth quarter 2012 average of
4.09% to 3.74% first quarter 2013 average. Excess liquidity due to
strong deposit growth contributed to the decline in the net
interest margin. The timing of various recoveries associated with
discounted assets was also a factor. The Bank has approximately
$4.4 million in accretable discounts and $11 million in
non-accretable discounts as of March 31, 2013. Management is
currently evaluating these discounts to determine whether a
percentage should be amortized over the life of the asset.
Balance Sheet and Capital: Total assets
grew from $899 million on March 31, 2012 to $1.04 billion on March
31, 2013, a $141 million increase. Total loans increased $91
million from $633 million on March 31, 2012 to $724 million on
March 31, 2013. Total deposits increased $134 million from $712
million on March 31, 2012 to $846 million on March 31, 2013.
Non-interest bearing deposits represent 15.8% of total deposits.
Total capital grew from $119.7 million on March 31, 2012 to $127.6
million on March 31, 2013. The undiluted book value of common
shares of Stonegate Bank was $15.49 per share on March 31,
2013.

Management Comments: "The first quarter
witnessed two major events for Stonegate," said Dave Seleski,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "First, the Bank's assets
exceeded $1 billion for the first time. Since inception, this has
been a goal for the Bank, and I am very proud that we were able to
achieve this without taking undue risk or sacrificing profitability
for growth. Second, the bank doubled its dividend from $0.08 cents
per share in 2012 to $0.16 cents per share in 2013. In the future
we hope to continue to reward our investors as the Bank grows and
matures."
"Once again, we see economic improvement in our local markets. A
large part of this is being driven by foreign investors as well as
appreciation and increased demand for residential housing. The
trickle-down effect has certainly stabilized our markets and in
some cases led to a surprising increase in economic activity. We
anticipate this to continue and are focused on growing the Bank
organically in each of our markets. It is also our sense that after
a significant hiatus, merger and acquisitions in Florida are going
to increase in 2013. We will look at these opportunities as a way
to increase our overall market share in the communities we serve,"
added Seleski.
