BLAIRSVILLE, Ga., April 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Community Banks, Inc. (NASDAQ:UCBI) (“United”) today announced strong first quarter results with solid margin improvement, effective expense management and sound credit quality. Net income was $23.5 million, or 33 cents per diluted share, compared with $22.3 million, or 31 cents per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016.
On an operating basis, net income rose to $28.2 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared with $23.9 million for the first quarter of 2016. First quarter 2017 operating net income excludes pre-tax merger-related charges of $1.17 million and pre-tax charges related to branch closures of $831,000, net of the income tax benefit associated with the charges of $758,000. Also excluded is a non-cash tax charge of $3.4 million related to the cancellation of interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges. The non-cash tax charge was previously included in other comprehensive income until the swaps matured or were canceled.
First quarter 2016 operating net income excludes $2.65 million in pre-tax merger-related charges, net of the associated income tax benefit of $1.00 million. On a per diluted share basis, operating net income was 39 cents for the first quarter of 2017 compared with 33 cents for the first quarter of 2016.
At March 31, 2017, preliminary regulatory capital ratios were as follows. Tier 1 Risk-Based of 11.5 percent; Total Risk-Based of 12.3 percent; Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based of 11.4 percent, and Tier 1 Leverage of 8.6 percent.
“We began 2017 with a solid first quarter,” said Jimmy Tallent, chairman and chief executive officer. “Excluding merger-related and other non-operating charges, operating net income per share was up 18 percent from a year ago to 39 cents, driven by strong loan and fee revenue growth and expense management. Also excluding these charges, we held our operating efficiency ratio to 57.4 percent, the second best in a decade and surpassed only by the fourth quarter of 2016. Including those charges, the efficiency ratio was 59.3 percent.
“While linked-quarter operating net income was down slightly, our margin expansion and disciplined expense management offset most of the seasonal declines in mortgage and SBA lending, as well as some seasonal decrease in loan growth,” Tallent said. “Our bankers made steady progress improving financial performance by growing core transaction deposits a healthy 13 percent in the first quarter, all while holding deposit pricing steady.
“First quarter loan production was $615 million,” Tallent added. “Linked-quarter average loan growth was $89.8 million, or 5 percent annualized, reflecting a seasonal decrease from recent quarters. End of period loans grew by $44.4 million. Our community banks originated $423 million in loans, while our specialized lending area produced $151 million.” Specialized lending encompasses commercial real estate, middle market, SBA, asset-based lending, senior living and builder finance.
First quarter net interest revenue totaled $83.6 million, up $8.6 million from the first quarter of 2016 and up $2.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2016. The increases from both periods reflect net interest margin expansions of 4 basis points from a year ago and 11 basis points from the fourth quarter, driven by rising short-term interest rates. Loan growth and the acquisition of Tidelands Bank in July of 2016 were the primary drivers of the increase from a year ago.
The first quarter provision for credit losses was $800,000. This compares with a provision recovery of $200,000 in the first quarter of 2016 and no provision for the fourth quarter of 2016. First quarter net charge-offs totaled $1.7 million, compared with $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $1.5 million in the fourth quarter. Contributing to the low level of net charge-offs were continued strong recoveries of previously charged-off loans. Nonperforming assets were .23 percent of total assets at March 31, 2017, compared with .28 percent at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016.
“Our first quarter provision for loan losses reflects continued strong, steady credit quality and a low level of net charge-offs,” Tallent commented. “Our credit quality indicators remain favorable and our outlook is for that to continue. We also expect our provision levels to gradually increase during the year due to loan growth, while our allowance and the related ratio to total loans will decline slightly.”
Fourth quarter fee revenue totaled $22.1 million, up $3.47 million from a year ago and a decrease of $3.16 million from the fourth quarter. Mortgage fees were up $1.14 million from a year ago, and down $2.09 million from the fourth quarter. Gains from sales of SBA loans were up $722,000 from a year ago due to continued growth in SBA lending, and were down $1.07 million from the fourth quarter. Partially offsetting the seasonal linked-quarter decreases in mortgage and SBA revenue was a $499,000 increase in brokerage fees. Other fee revenue was down $386,000 from the fourth quarter, mostly reflecting a lower volume of customer derivative business.
Operating expenses were $62.8 million for the first quarter, compared with $57.9 million for the first quarter of 2016 and $61.3 million for the fourth quarter. Included in operating expenses are merger-related and branch closure charges of $2.05 million in the first quarter, and merger-related charges of $2.65 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $1.14 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Excluding these charges, first quarter operating expenses were $60.8 million compared with $55.2 million a year ago and $60.2 million for the fourth quarter.
The increase in operating expenses from the fourth quarter is primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefit costs, with most of the increase related to payroll taxes that start over at the beginning of each year. The increase from a year ago also reflects additional operating expenses following the acquisition of Tidelands Bank on July 1, 2016. United’s financial results begin including operating expenses of acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates.
Income tax expense for the first quarter totaled $18.5 million compared with $13.6 million a year ago and $17.6 million in the fourth quarter. Included in first quarter income tax expense was a $3.4 million non-cash charge to release income taxes on hedge instruments that were held in other comprehensive income during the time in which United had a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset. For accounting purposes, these disproportionate tax effects remained in other comprehensive income until the instruments that created them ceased to exist. In the first quarter of 2017, several related interest rate swaps matured while the balance of these hedge instruments were canceled thereby requiring a transfer from other comprehensive income to a non-cash tax expense charge. The charge had no effect on tangible book value, since there was no effect on total shareholders’ equity. Income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2016 was elevated by a charge of $976,000 due to the impairment of a portion of the deferred tax asset as a result of cancelling nonqualified stock options.
Tallent concluded, “We are off to a good start toward another exceptional year for United Community Banks. Our bankers continue to execute our strategic plans and serve their customers with the enthusiasm, energy and passion that are the foundation of our success. I’m also excited about the Horry County State Bank acquisition that was announced last week and is expected to close in the third quarter. Not only is the bank in a market where we want to expand, it is also a solid cultural fit with the same emphasis on outstanding customer service for which United is known.”
