OceanFirst Financial Corp. Announces Quarterly and Year-to-Date Financial Results


TOMS RIVER, N.J., Oct. 17, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OceanFirst Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:OCFC), (the "Company"), the holding company for OceanFirst Bank (the "Bank"), today announced that diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.29 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $0.28 for the corresponding prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.84, as compared to $0.89 for the corresponding prior year period. Highlights for the quarter included:

  • Commercial loans outstanding increased $18.5 million, an annualized growth rate of 13.6%. 
  • The net interest margin stabilized at 3.20%, as compared to 3.21% in the linked quarter, largely the result of higher yielding commercial loans replacing investment securities.
  • Improved credit metrics supported a decrease in the loan loss provision, as non-performing loans decreased $4.3 million.
  • Tangible common equity remains strong at a ratio of 9.35%. 

The Company also announced that the Board of Directors declared its sixty-seventh consecutive quarterly cash dividend on common stock. The dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 of $0.12 per share will be paid on November 8, 2013, to shareholders of record on October 28, 2013. 

Chairman and CEO John R. Garbarino observed "strong commercial loan growth helped to further stabilize the net interest margin, and we are encouraged by our improved credit metrics, as both non-performing loans and year-to-date net charge-offs decreased. Strategically, we continue to build our team of proven income producers in several areas, enhancing our prospects for future revenue growth. In the coming quarter we are also consolidating two branch offices and re-structuring our FHLB advance book to help these revenue gains translate into sustainable earnings improvement."

Results of Operations

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $5.0 million and $14.4 million, respectively, or $0.29 per diluted share and $0.84 per diluted share, respectively, as compared to net income of $5.0 million and $16.0 million, respectively, or $0.28 per diluted share and $0.89 per diluted share for the corresponding prior year periods. Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was adversely impacted by a non-recurring expense relating to the departure of the Bank's former President and Chief Operating Officer of $747,000, net of related expense savings, or $468,000 net of tax benefit. Net income was impacted in the current year periods by lower net interest income and lower other income, partly offset by a reduction in the provision for loan losses as compared to the prior year periods.

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased to $17.5 million and $52.3 million, respectively, as compared to $18.0 million and $55.5 million, respectively, in the same prior year periods, reflecting a lower net interest margin partly offset by slightly higher interest-earning assets. The net interest margin decreased to 3.20% and 3.19%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 3.28% and 3.39%, respectively, in the same prior year periods, due to a change in the mix of average interest-earning assets from higher-yielding loans receivable into lower-yielding securities. High loan refinance volume earlier in the year also caused yields on loans and mortgage-backed securities to trend downward. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 3.64% and 3.67%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to 3.92% and 4.06%, respectively, for the same prior year periods.  The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.53% and 0.57%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to 0.74% and 0.77%, respectively, in the same prior year periods.  Average interest-earning assets increased $1.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same prior year periods. The increases in average interest-earning assets were primarily due to the increases in average securities of $39.5 million and $45.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. These increases were partly offset by decreases in average loans receivable, net, of $28.7 million and $40.9 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same prior year periods. The growth in interest-earning assets was primarily funded by increases in average non-interest-bearing deposits, partly offset by decreases in average time deposits and borrowed funds.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the provision for loan losses was $700,000 and $2.6 million, respectively, as compared to $1.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods.  The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was partly due to reductions of $133,000 and $2.5 million, respectively, in net charge-offs as compared to the same prior year periods and a reduction in loans receivable, net at September 30, 2013 as compared to both December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012. Additionally, non-performing loans decreased $1.8 million at September 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, other income decreased to $4.6 million and $12.7 million as compared to $4.9 million and $13.7 million in the same prior year periods. The decrease in other income was primarily caused by the net gain on sales of loans decreasing by $716,000 and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Bankcard services revenue increased $91,000 and $438,000, respectively, and trust and asset management revenue increased $240,000 and $492,000, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods. The increase in trust and asset management revenue was partly due to an increase in assets under administration to $212.0 million at September 30, 2013 from $172.9 million at December 31, 2012. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the net gain on the sale of loans decreased to $316,000 and $877,000, respectively, as compared to $1.2 million and $3.1 million in the same prior year periods due to the reclassification of reverse mortgage income into fees and service charges and a decrease in loan sale volume. Additionally, the net gain on the sale of loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was adversely impacted by an addition of $975,000 to the reserve for repurchased loans as compared to an addition of $350,000 in the same prior year period. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, there was no provision for repurchased loans as compared to $100,000 in the same prior year period. (Refer to discussion in Asset Quality section regarding the reserve for repurchased loans.) Effective January 1, 2013, income from the origination of reverse mortgage loans is classified as part of fees and service charges as compared to inclusion in the net gain on the sale of loans in prior periods as the Bank no longer closes these loans in its name. The amount of reverse mortgage fees included in fees and service charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $186,000 and $531,000, respectively. The results from other real estate operations declined $228,000 and $55,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same prior year periods. Finally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the net gain on sales of investment securities available for sale decreased to $42,000 from $226,000 in the same prior year period. 

Operating expenses amounted to $13.8 million and $40.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $13.8 million and $39.6 million, respectively, in the same prior year periods. Excluding the $747,000 non-recurring severance expense included in compensation and employee benefits, net of related expense savings, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, operating expenses increased $692,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods. Compensation and employee benefits expense, net of the non-recurring severance cost, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was adversely impacted by recruiting costs and by the decrease in mortgage loan closings from the prior year levels. Lower loan closings in the current periods decreased deferred loan expense, net of sales commissions to mortgage loan representatives, which is reflected as an increase in compensation expense. 

The provision for income taxes was $2.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $2.7 million and $8.8 million for the same prior year periods. The effective tax rate was 34.9% and 35.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to 35.1% and 35.5%, respectively, in the same prior year periods.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased by $17.1 million to $2,286.3 million at September 30, 2013, from $2,269.2 million at December 31, 2012. Securities, in the aggregate, increased by $35.5 million, to $583.0 million at September 30, 2013, as compared to $547.5 million at December 31, 2012. During the period, the Company reclassified $536.0 million of securities available-for-sale to securities held-to-maturity as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity. Loans receivable, net, decreased by $775,000, to $1,522.4 million at September 30, 2013 from $1,523.2 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to prepayments and sale of newly originated 30-year fixed-rate one-to-four family loans. Commercial lending, however, grew $29.9 million during this period and residential construction loans increased $8.1 million as homeowners rebuild from superstorm Sandy.

Deposits increased by $49.2 million, to $1,768.9 million at September 30, 2013, from $1,719.7 million at December 31, 2012 with core deposits, (i.e. all deposits excluding time deposits) growing by $63.8 million.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase with retail customers increased by $9.2 million, to $70.0 million at September 30, 2013, from $60.8 million at December 31, 2012 and Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $36.0 million, to $189.0 million at September 30, 2013, from $225.0 million at December 31, 2012. Stockholders' equity decreased to $213.8 million at September 30, 2013, as compared to $219.8 million at December 31, 2012. Net income for the period was offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $7.1 million due to the recent rise in interest rates, the repurchase of 533,018 shares of common stock for $8.1 million (average cost per share of $15.21) and the cash dividend on common stock. The reclassification of most available-for-sale securities to held-to-maturity during the third quarter will reduce the risk of accumulated other comprehensive losses that could result in the event of additional increases in interest rates. At September 30, 2013, there were 301,766 shares remaining to be repurchased under the stock repurchase program adopted in the fourth quarter of 2012. Tangible stockholders' equity per common share was $12.30 at September 30, 2013, as compared to $12.28 at December 31, 2012, benefitting from the reduction in shares outstanding.

Asset Quality

The Company's non-performing loans totaled $41.6 million at September 30, 2013, a $1.8 million decrease from $43.4 million at December 31, 2012.  Included in non-performing loans at September 30, 2013 were $2.7 million in loans which remain adversely impacted by superstorm Sandy which caused substantial disruption in the Bank's market area on October 29, 2012. Net loan charge-offs decreased to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $4.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. 

The reserve for repurchased loans and loss sharing obligations, which is included in other liabilities in the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition, was $1.5 million at September 30, 2013, a $265,000 increase from December 31, 2012. The increase was due to mostly first quarter activity relating to an additional provision for loans sold to the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), incurred losses relating to the FHLB loan sales, a comprehensive settlement with one investor relating to existing and anticipated loan repurchase requests, and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts. At September 30, 2013, there were two outstanding loan repurchase requests which the Company is disputing on loans with a total principal balance of $541,000, as compared to 12 outstanding loan repurchase requests with a principal balance of $3.6 million at December 31, 2012. 

Strategic Initiatives

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company made the strategic decision to prepay $159.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances with a weighted average cost of 2.31% and a weighted average term to maturity of 16 months. The pre-tax prepayment fee on these borrowings was $4.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, which will be reflected in the fourth quarter's reported earnings. The prepayment was initially funded by short-term advances, which the Company expects to supplement with deposit growth. Over the next year, the short-term advances will gradually be extended into longer-term liabilities. The transaction will improve net interest income and margin in future periods and, when fully implemented, will reduce the Company's sensitivity to further interest rate increases.

The Company is focused on growing revenues in commercial lending, trust and asset management, and Bankcard services. In order to fund the required investment in these areas, the Bank reviewed branch expenses and decided to consolidate two branches into newer, in-market OceanFirst Bank facilities. The consolidation is scheduled to occur in the fourth quarter and is expected to result in a non-recurring charge of $630,000.
