"Our first quarter earnings of $0.10 per share reflects the significant investment made in people, technology and franchise over the past several years. Our continued focus toward organic growth, process improvement and expense reduction are strongly reflected in our first quarter results," stated John J. Patrick Jr., First Connecticut Bancorp's Chairman, President & CEO.

"Our net interest income continues to grow from core banking activities, while expenses have reduced over the prior year and linked quarter. Despite the extreme winter weather conditions in the Northeast, both loan and deposit growth remained strong during the quarter."

First quarter 2014 compared with fourth quarter 2013

Net interest income

  • Net interest income increased $419,000 to $14.8 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the linked quarter due primarily to a $52.1 million increase in the average loan balance, lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities, higher yields in the loan and securities portfolios and a 7 basis point increase in the net interest rate spread to 2.86%.
     
  • Net interest margin increased 5 basis points to 2.99% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 2.94% in the fourth quarter of 2013 primarily due to a decrease in cost of interest-bearing liabilities and higher yields in the loan and securities portfolios.
     
  • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 5 basis points to 58 basis points in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 63 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Provision for loan losses

  • Provision for loan losses was $505,000 for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $660,000 for the linked quarter.

  • The allowance for loan losses represented 0.94% of total loans at March 31, 2014 compared to 1.01% at December 31, 2013. 

Noninterest income

  • Total noninterest income decreased $421,000 to $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the linked quarter primarily due to a $459,000 decrease in net gain on loans sold as a result of an overall decrease in volume and margins in our secondary market residential lending program.

Noninterest expense

  • Noninterest expense decreased $438,000 or 3% to $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the linked quarter as a result of decreases in salaries and employee benefits and other operating expenses offset by an increase in occupancy expense due to our de novo branch in Rocky Hill, which opened in January 2014, and winter related expenses.

Income tax provision

  • Income tax provision was $555,000 in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $322,000 in the linked quarter.

Net interest income

  • Net interest income increased $2.1 million or 17% to $14.8 million compared to $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to a $296.8 million increase in the average loan balance despite a 23 basis point decrease in the yield on loans.
     
  • Net interest margin decreased 8 basis points to 2.99% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 3.07% in the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to lower prepayment penalty fees and a $20.7 million decline in the average balance of the resort portfolio. Excluding resort and prepayment penalty fee income for both quarters, the net interest margin would have been 2.99% and 3.00% in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.
     
  • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 19 basis points to 58 basis points in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 77 basis points in the first quarter of 2013 due primarily to lower funding costs for municipal deposits and a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advance costs due to an increase in short-term advances which carry lower rates.

Forward Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this earnings release may contain forward-looking statements for purposes of applicable securities laws. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may or may not include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may." Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. There are a number of important factors described in documents previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to evaluating the Company's financial performance in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management routinely supplements their evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as core net income, the efficiency ratio and tangible book value per share. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure; net income in the case of core net income and the efficiency ratio and stockholders' equity in the case of tangible book value per share, appears in tabular form in the accompanying Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures table.

We believe that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance, our performance trends and financial position. Specifically, we provide measures based on what we believe are our operating earnings on a consistent basis and exclude non-core operating items which affect the GAAP reporting of results of operations. The Company believes that core net income is useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of items that are non-recurring and infrequent in nature. The Company believes that the efficiency ratio, which measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, is useful in the assessment of financial performance, including non-interest expense control. The Company believes that tangible book value per share is useful to evaluate the relative strength of the Company's capital position. The Company does not have goodwill and intangible assets for any of the periods presented. As such, tangible book value per common share is equal to book value per common share.

We utilize these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results, and we strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
