LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz., Oct. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- State Bank Corp. (OTCQB:SBAZ) (“Company”), the holding company for Mohave State Bank (“Bank”), today announced net income increased 22.2% to $1.19 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $974,000, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016, and increased 11.5% compared to $1.07 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015. Earnings represent two full months of the newly combined Bank.
For the first nine months of 2016, net income grew 13.7% to $2.86 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $2.52 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the same period of 2015.
“The highlight of the third quarter was completing the acquisition of Country Bank,” stated Brian M. Riley, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The closed acquisition added approximately $107.0 million in loans and $202.2 million in deposits to the Bank and expands our geographic footprint within Prescott, Prescott Valley and Cottonwood. We continue to focus on building the premier community bank franchise in Arizona, and we believe, with this combination, the Bank will be even better positioned to grow, serve our customers and create strong long-term return for our shareholders.”
Third quarter 2016 earnings were adversely affected by $378,000 in net acquisition costs compared to $63,000 in the preceding quarter and no acquisition costs in the third quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, net acquisition costs totaled $619,000. “While costs associated with the acquisition integration will be higher than normal over the remainder of the year, we expect expenses to return to more normalized levels in 2017 and expect the merger to be immediately accretive to earnings per share,” added Riley.
Third Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights:
- Completed the acquisition of Country Bank, which was merged with and into Mohave State Bank on July 31, 2016. As of the closing date, the combined company has 9 branches and is the largest community bank headquartered in Arizona.
- Net income, excluding merger related expenses, increased 34.4% to $1.43 million, compared to $1.07 million in the third quarter 2015.
- Net interest margin of 4.14%.
- Total assets exceeded $600 million.
- Return on average assets of 0.91%.
- Return on average equity of 9.69%.
Net interest margin improved to 4.14% in the third quarter 2016 compared to 3.85% in the preceding quarter and was down from 4.31% in the third quarter a year ago. The increase is the result of a combination of lower cost of funds and amortization of an implemented discount on Country Bank’s acquired loan portfolio, both benefactors of the merger.
There was no provision for loan losses in the third quarter, with net charge-offs of $56,000. The allowance for loan losses totaled $3.1 million at September 30, 2016, or 0.91% of total loans. The overall percentage decreased due to the accounting treatment on acquired loan portfolios. The acquired loan portfolio was valued and recorded at fair value at the time of transaction, with uncertainty of future cash flows due to the credit risk of borrowers imbedded within the analysis.
Total assets were $600.3 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $275.0 million, or 84.5%, from $325.3 million at December 31, 2015, and an increase of $275.2 million, or 84.7%, compared to $325.1 million a year ago. Total loans held for investment were $329.2 million as compared to $216.4 million at December 31, 2015, and $216.8 million at September 30, 2015. Total loan comparisons were affected by addition of $107.0 million in loans from the acquisition of Country Bank.
Total deposits were $532.8 million, an increase of $250.0 million, or 88.4%, from $282.8 million at December 31, 2015 and an increase of $249.8 million compared to a year ago. Core deposits, defined as noninterest bearing demand, money market, NOW and savings accounts, increased to $457.2 million at September 30, 2016, or 104.2%, compared to nine months earlier and increased compared to a year earlier from $223.9 million. Total deposits and core deposit comparisons were affected by the acquisition of Country Bank by $202.2 million and $186.6 million, respectively. Core deposits now comprise 85.8% of total deposits.
Nonperforming assets were $6.7 million at September 30, 2016, a 4.7% increase compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2015, and a 37.3% decrease compared to $10.7 million at September 30, 2015. Nonperforming assets represented 1.12% of total assets at September 30, 2016.
Shareholder equity increased to $54.5 million at September 30, 2016, from $37.8 million at December 31, 2015, and $37.2 million a year earlier. The significant increase is the result of issuing 2,187,546 shares of common stock at $6.50 per share to finance the acquisition of Country Bank. At September 30, 2016, tangible book value per share was $5.83 per share compared to $6.47 per share at December 31, 2015 and $6.34 a year earlier. The decrease was the result of the aforementioned issuance of common stock and the recording of goodwill and intangible assets involved in the acquisition of Country Bank.
