Eagle Bancorp, Inc. Announces Record Quarterly Earnings of $12.9 Million, With Assets Exceeding $3.9 Billion


BETHESDA, Md., July 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:EGBN), the parent company of EagleBank, today announced record quarterly net income of $12.9 million ($13.5 million operating earnings) for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, an 11% increase on a net income basis (16% on an operating income basis) over the $11.7 million net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased 11% (16% increase on an operating basis) to $12.8 million ($13.4 million on an operating basis) as compared to $11.5 million for the same period in 2013. Net income per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.49 and $0.48, respectively ($0.51 per basic common share and $0.50 per diluted common share on an operating earnings basis), as compared to $0.45 per basic common share and $0.44 per diluted common share for the same period in 2013.

Operating earnings exclude merger related expenses of $576 thousand ($0.02 per basic and diluted shares) recorded in the second quarter and first six months of 2014 related to our contemplated merger with Virginia Heritage Bank. Where appropriate, parenthetical references refer to operating earnings. Reconciliations of GAAP earnings to operating earnings are contained in the footnotes to the financial highlights table.

On June 9, 2014, the Company and Virginia Heritage Bank ("VHB") (OTCQB:VGBK) announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which VHB will be merged into EagleBank, with EagleBank being the surviving institution. The merger is expected to accelerate the Company's growth in the attractive Northern Virginia market. At March 31, 2014, VHB had approximately $917 million in assets, $716 million in net loans and $737 million in deposits. The merger is subject to regulatory approvals and approval of Virginia Heritage shareholders, and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company's net income was $25.4 million ($26.0 million on an operating basis), a 9% increase (12% on an operating basis) over the $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net income available to common shareholders was $25.2 million ($25.7 million on an operating basis) $0.97 per basic common share and $0.95 per diluted common share ($0.99 per basic common share and $0.97 per diluted common share on an operating basis), as compared to $23.0 million ($0.90 per basic common share and $0.88 per diluted common share) for the same six month period in 2013, a 10% increase (12% on an operating basis).

"We are very pleased to report another quarter of record earnings, together with continued strong and balanced financial performance," noted Ronald D. Paul, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. "The Company's net income has increased each quarter since the fourth quarter of 2008. For the second quarter of 2014, the Company's performance was highlighted by growth in total revenue, by growth in both loans and deposit balances, by an expanded net interest margin from an already very favorable level, by continued solid asset quality measures and by enhanced measures of operating efficiency. The strong earnings resulted in a return on average assets of 1.35% (1.41% on an operating basis) for the second quarter of 2014 and contributed to a higher leverage capital ratio of 10.89% at June 30, 2014 as compared to 10.81% at June 30, 2013. The leverage capital ratio was 10.93% at December 31, 2013.

For the second quarter of 2014, total loans grew 7% over March 31, 2014, and were 22% higher at June 30, 2014 as compared to June 30, 2013. For the second quarter of 2014, total deposits increased 3% over March 31, 2014, and were 17% higher at June 30, 2014 than June 30, 2013. The net interest margin was 4.48% for the second quarter, 3 basis points higher than the first quarter of 2014, and 21 basis points higher than the second quarter of 2013. Mr. Paul added, "The continuing emphasis on disciplined pricing for both new loans and funding sources together with a favorable loan to deposit ratio has resulted in a superior net interest margin position at June 30, 2014."

Total revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) for the second quarter of 2014 was $45.8 million or 9% above the $41.9 million of total revenue earned for the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, total revenue was $90.3 million, 7% higher than $84.5 million for the first six months in 2013.

The Company's primary driver of revenue growth for the second quarter of 2014 was its net interest income growth of 21%, as compared to the second quarter in 2013 ($42.0 million versus $34.9 million), effectively outpacing the decline in total noninterest earnings attributable primarily to much lower levels of residential mortgage originations and sales. Additionally, the Company achieved 5% growth in net interest income in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2014 ($42.0 million versus $40.0 million).

For the second quarter of 2014, revenue from residential mortgage banking net interest income and fees represented 1.92% of total revenue versus 7.74% of total revenue for the second quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2014, revenue from residential mortgage banking net interest income and fees represented 2.43% of total revenue versus 10.31% of total revenue first six months of 2013. The Company evaluates its residential mortgage lending unit on an ongoing basis in light of changes in current and projected market conditions, and adjusts the scope of the unit accordingly. Mr. Paul emphasized "that the Company continues to focus its activities on generating spread or net interest income, while also looking to residential mortgage banking as a component of the Company's ongoing noninterest income growth opportunities. Purchase money residential mortgage activity has been increasing in the Company's market area and Eagle is committed to participating in that improved business activity." The mix of purchase money mortgages was 65% for the first six months in 2014 as compared to 17% for the first six months in 2013. Activity in SBA lending was generally weaker in the second quarter; however the Company remains committed to growing the SBA business.

Asset quality measures improved to ever stronger levels at June 30, 2014. The one large nonaccrual relationship of about $11.0 million that arose in the first quarter of 2014 was resolved as expected by June 30, 2014 with no loss. Net charge-offs (annualized) were 0.20% of average loans for the second quarter of 2014 and were 0.16% (annualized) of average loans for the first six months of 2014, as compared to 0.24% (annualized) and 0.28% net-charge offs (annualized), respectively for the second quarter of 2013 and the first six months in 2013. Taking into account loan growth, the level and details of nonperforming loans and portfolio delinquencies, net charge-off trends and consistent loan loss reserve methodology resulted in the allowance for loan losses ($43.6 million) ending June 30, 2014 at 1.33% of total loans and 193% of total nonperforming loans as compared to 1.47% of total loans and 169% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2013, and 1.39% of total loans and 166% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2013.

Lastly, Mr. Paul noted, "that for the second quarter of 2014, the Company's operating cost management remained quite strong." The efficiency ratio of 48.30% (47.04% on an operating basis) reflects management's determined and continuous efforts to control costs. The Company's goal is to maximize operating performance while not inhibiting growth or negatively impacting our ability to service our customers. Mr. Paul further noted the favorable level of second quarter noninterest expenses (annualized) to average assets of just 2.30% (2.24% on an operating basis). "We will maintain strict oversight of costs, while retaining an infrastructure that maximizes our ability to not just remain competitive, but to grow."

At June 30, 2014, total assets were $3.91 billion, compared to $3.41 billion at June 30, 2013, a 15% increase, and $3.77 billion at December 31, 2013, a 4% increase. Total loans (excluding loans held for sale) were $3.28 billion at June 30, 2014 compared to $2.69 billion at June 30, 2013, a 22% increase and $2.95 billion at December 31, 2013, an 11% increase. Total deposits were $3.37 billion at June 30, 2014, compared to deposits of $2.89 billion at June 30, 2013, a 17% increase and $3.23 billion at December 31, 2013, a 4% increase. Loans held for sale amounted to $35.4 million at June 30, 2014 as compared to $104.8 million at June 30, 2013, a 66% decrease, and $42.0 million at December 31, 2013, a 16% decline.

The investment portfolio totaled $379.0 million at June 30, 2014, a 13% increase from the $335.8 million balance at June 30, 2013. As compared to December 31, 2013, the investment portfolio at June 30, 2014 increased by $857 thousand, a 0.2% increase. Total borrowed funds (excluding customer repurchase agreements) were $39.3 million at June 30, 2014, June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013 respectively.

Total shareholders' equity increased to $426.8 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $369.4 million and $393.9 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013, respectively, primarily reflecting growth in retained earnings. The Company's capital position remains substantially in excess of regulatory requirements for well capitalized status, with a total risk based capital ratio of 12.71% at June 30, 2014, as compared to a total risk based capital ratio of 12.53% at June 30, 2013 and 13.01% at December 31, 2013. In addition, the tangible common equity ratio (tangible common equity to tangible assets) increased to 9.39% at June 30, 2014, from 9.07% at June 30, 2013 and 8.86% at December 31, 2013.

At June 30, 2014, the Company's nonperforming assets amounted to $31.3 million, representing 0.80% of total assets, compared to $33.9 million nonperforming assets, or 0.90% of total assets at December 31, 2013 and $35.7 million of nonperforming assets, or 1.05% of total assets at June 30, 2013. Management continues to remain attentive to early signs of deterioration in borrowers' financial conditions and is proactive in taking the appropriate steps to mitigate risk. Furthermore, the Company is diligent in placing loans on nonaccrual status and believes, based on its loan portfolio risk analysis, that its allowance for loan losses, at 1.33% of total loans (excluding loans held for sale) at June 30, 2014, is adequate to absorb potential credit losses within the loan portfolio at that date. The allowance for credit losses represented 193% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2014, as compared to 169% at June 30, 2013 and 166% at December 31, 2013. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans at June 30, 2014, as compared to December 31, 2013 (from 1.39% to 1.33%), is due to increased loan growth and overall improved credit quality in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2014.

Analysis of the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to June 30, 2013

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported an annualized return on average assets ("ROAA") of 1.35% (1.41% on an operating basis) as compared to 1.41% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The annualized return on average common equity ("ROAE") for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was 14.09% (14.72% on an operating basis), as compared to 14.75% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The slightly lower ROAA and ROAE ratios for second quarter of 2014 as compared to 2013 was due primarily to a decrease in the level of noninterest income attributable substantially to lower levels of residential mortgage refinancing activity.

Net interest income increased 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 over the same period in 2013, resulting from both growth in average earning assets of 15% and an expanded net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The net interest margin was 4.48% as compared to 4.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The Company believes its net interest margin remains favorable compared to peer banking companies and that its disciplined approach to managing its loan portfolio yield to 5.37% and 5.41%, for the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively, has been a significant factor in its overall profitability.

The provision for credit losses was $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The higher provisioning in the second quarter of 2014, as compared to the second quarter of 2013, is due to higher loan growth. Net charge-offs of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2014 represented an annualized 0.20% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, as compared to $1.5 million or an annualized 0.24% of average loans, excluding loans held for sale, in the second quarter of 2013. Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2014 were attributable primarily to commercial and industrial loans ($1.3 million) and construction loans ($219 thousand).

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to $3.8 million from $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a 46% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to a decline of $2.4 million in gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans due to substantially lower origination volume, and a $1.4 million decrease in gains on sales of SBA loans. This decrease was partially offset by increases of $268 thousand and $215 thousand, respectively, in income from service charges on deposits and Bank Owned Life Insurance. There were $2 thousand of investment securities gains recorded for the second quarter of 2014, as compared to no investment securities gains for the second quarter of 2013.

The efficiency ratio, which measures the ratio of noninterest expense to total revenue, improved to 48.30% (47.04% on an operating basis) for the second quarter of 2014, as compared to 49.33% for the second quarter of 2013. As a percentage of average assets, total noninterest expense (annualized) improved to 2.30% (2.24% on an operating basis) for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 2.50% for the same period in 2013. Noninterest expenses totaled $22.1 million ($21.6 million on an operating basis) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a 7% increase (4% increase on an operating basis). Cost increases for salaries and benefits were $1.7 million, due primarily to increased salaries and employee benefits expense and incentive compensation. Premises and equipment expenses were $180 thousand higher, due to costs of additional office space and increases in leasing costs. Legal, accounting and professional fees increased by $210 thousand primarily due to an increase in professional fees, consulting fees and collection costs related to problem loans. The decrease in other expenses of $491 thousand ($1.1 million on an operating basis) was due primarily to reduced costs related to OREO property and other losses. Included in other expenses are $576 thousand of expenses related to the merger announced in early June 2014.

Analysis of the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to June 30, 2013

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported an annualized ROAA of 1.35% (1.38% on an operating basis) as compared to 1.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, while the annualized ROAE was 14.23% (14.56% on an operating basis), as compared to 15.01% for the same six months of 2013. The lower ROAA and ROAE ratios for six months of 2014 as compared to 2013 was due primarily to a decrease in the level of noninterest income attributable substantially to lower levels of residential mortgage refinancing activity.

Net interest income increased 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the same period in 2013, resulting from both growth in average earning assets of 12% and an expanded net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The net interest margin was 4.47% as compared to 4.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Year-to-date in 2014, the Company has been able to maintain its loan portfolio yields relatively close to 2013 levels (5.41% versus 5.58%) due to disciplined loan practices, and also has been able to reduce its cost of funds (0.30% versus 0.40%), while maintaining a favorable deposit mix, much of which has occurred from ongoing efforts to increase and deepen client relationships.

The provision for credit losses was $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The lower provisioning is due to a combination of lower net charge-offs, and overall improved asset quality in the loan portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 net charge-offs totaled $2.4 million (0.16% of average loans) compared to $3.6 million (0.28% of average loans) for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were attributable primarily to commercial and industrial loans ($1.4 million) and construction loans ($736 thousand).

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to $8.3 million from $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a 46% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to decline of $6.7 million in gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans due to lower origination and sales volume, and a decrease of $826 thousand in income from sales of SBA loans. This decrease was partially offset by $175 thousand higher income from service charges on deposits and a $435 thousand increase in income from Bank Owned Life Insurance. There were $10 thousand of investment securities gains recorded for the first six months of 2014, as compared to $23 thousand of investment securities gains for the first six months of 2013.

Noninterest expenses for the first six months of 2014 were $45.2 million ($44.7 million on an operating basis) compared to $41.4 million, a 9% increase (8% on an operating basis). Cost increases for salaries and employee benefits were $4.1 million, due primarily to merit increases, higher benefit costs and incentive and discretionary bonuses. Premises and equipment expenses were $469 thousand higher, due to costs of additional office space and increases in leasing costs. Legal, accounting and professional fees increased by $411 thousand primarily due to an increase in professional fees, consulting fees and collection costs related to problem loans. The decrease in other expenses of $1.1 million ($1.7 million on an operating basis) was due primarily to a decline in costs related to OREO property and other losses. As a percentage of average assets, total noninterest expense improved to 2.40% (2.37% on an operating basis) for the first six months of 2014 as compared to 2.49% for the same period in 2013. For the first six months of 2014, the efficiency ratio remained favorable at 50.09% (49.45% on an operating basis) as compared to 48.94% for the same period in 2013.

(1) The reported figure includes the effect of $576 thousand of merger related expenses. As the magnitude of the merger expenses distorts the operational results of the Company, we present in the GAAP reconciliation below and in the accompanying text certain performance ratios excluding the effect of the merger expenses during the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2014. We believe this information is important to enable shareholders and other interested parties to assess the core operational performance of the Company.

(2) The Company considers the following non-GAAP measurements useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions. The table below provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.

Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible common equity ratio") and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios.

(1) Per share amounts and the number of outstanding shares have been adjusted to give effect to the 10% common stock dividend distributed on June 14, 2013.
(2) Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing common shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. We believe that this information is important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios.
(3) Computed by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.
(4) Excludes loans held for sale.
