OLNEY, Md., April 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc., (Nasdaq:SASR) the parent company of Sandy Spring Bank, today reported net income for the first quarter of 2014 of $10.9 million ($0.43 per diluted share). This compares to net income of $10.6 million ($0.42 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2013 and net income of $9.6 million ($0.38 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2013.
"Our proven capability to produce consistent financial results and returns to our investors demonstrates the strength of our institution. In the past year our share price has increased over 25%. We believe that we offer a level of quality customer service that is recognized in our marketplace and that this will translate into continued growth and increased profitability," said Daniel J. Schrider, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Our performance in the first quarter was driven by the management of our funding costs, loan growth and the increase in wealth management and insurance revenues which combined to offset the decline in mortgage banking revenues as origination volumes declined significantly from the prior year," said Schrider.
First Quarter Highlights:
-
Total loans increased 10% compared to the first quarter of 2013 and 2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 due to significant loan growth in the residential mortgage and commercial investor real estate portfolios.
-
The provision for loan and lease losses for the first quarter of 2014 was a credit of $1.0 million compared to a charge of $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2013 and a charge of $0.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The current quarter's credit was the result of lower historical charge-offs and improved credit metrics over the preceding twelve months, which more than offset the impact of loan growth during the same period.
-
The net interest margin was 3.47% for the first quarter of 2014, compared to 3.59% for the first quarter of 2013 and 3.53% for the fourth quarter of 2013. The decline was the result of declining rates during the period, primarily impacting the commercial loan portfolio.
-
Non-interest income decreased 9% for the quarter compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to the decline in income from mortgage banking caused by a significantly lower volume of saleable mortgage loan originations. The prior year quarter also included income as a result of a legal settlement. During this same period wealth management income increased 10% and insurance agency commissions increased 22%. Non-interest income decreased 3% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, which included gains from the sales of fixed assets and SBA loans.
- Non-performing loans totaled $38.7 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $49.5 million at March 31, 2013 and $40.0 million at December 31, 2013. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to non-performing loans was 98% at March 31, 2014 compared to a coverage ratio of 83% at March 31, 2013 and 97% at December 31, 2013.
Review of Balance Sheet and Credit Quality
At March 31, 2014, total assets grew to $4.2 billion, an increase of 6% as compared to March 31, 2013 driven by the increase in the loan portfolio. At March 31, 2014 total loans and leases were $2.8 billion, a 10% increase over the prior year. Increases occurred in every major loan category with notable increases in the residential mortgage and commercial investor real estate portfolios.
Customer funding sources, which include deposits and other short-term borrowings from customers, increased 2% compared to March 31, 2013. Checking accounts are considered to be an important performance metric as such accounts typically are the primary drivers of growth in multiple product banking relationships with clients. At March 31, 2014, the combined noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing checking account balances had increased 7% compared to the balances at March 31, 2013.
Tangible common equity totaled $423.9 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $391.7 million at March 31, 2013, resulting in an increase in the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets to 10.38% at March 31, 2014 from 10.19% at March 31, 2013. This increase in tangible common equity occurred during the period that dividends per common share were increased from $0.14 per share to $0.18 per common share, a 29% increase. At March 31, 2014, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.85%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.64% and a tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.43%.
Non-performing loans totaled $38.7 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $49.5 million at March 31, 2013 and $40.0 million at December 31, 2013. The level of non-performing loans to total loans has decreased from 1.93% at March 31, 2013 to 1.37% at March 31, 2014. This relative improvement reflects management's proactive focus on credit quality and the efforts to effectively resolve problem credits.
Net loan recoveries totaled $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to net charge-offs of $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 and net charge-offs of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.34% of outstanding loans and leases and 98% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2014 compared to 1.61% of outstanding loans and leases and 83% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2013. Non-performing loans includes accruing loans 90 days or more past due and restructured loans.
Income Statement Review
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2014 increased 1% compared to the first quarter of 2013. This modest increase was due to the impact of the increase in average interest-earning assets and a reduction in funding costs of time deposits partially offset by a decline in asset yields. This activity resulted in a net interest margin of 3.47% for the first quarter of 2014 compared to 3.59% for the first quarter of 2013.
The provision for loan and lease losses was a credit of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to a charge of $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2013 and a charge of $0.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. This decrease in the provision compared to the first quarter of 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2013 was due primarily to lower historical losses and improved credit metrics that more than offset the effect of loan growth during the quarter.
Non-interest income decreased 9% to $11.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2013. This decrease was driven by a reduction in mortgage banking income due primarily to lower mortgage origination volumes and a decline in client refinancing activity. This decrease was partially offset by a 10% increase in wealth management income due to higher assets under management and a 22% increase in insurance agency commissions.
Non-interest expenses decreased 1% to $27.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $27.8 million in the first quarter of 2013. This decrease was driven primarily by improved credit quality as legal fees associated with loan workouts declined significantly during this period. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 61.60% for the first quarter of 2014 compared to 60.80% for the first quarter of 2013.
