NORWICH, N.Y., July 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NBT Bancorp Inc. (NBT) (Nasdaq:NBTB) reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $27.6 million, up from $18.0 million for the previous quarter, and up from $16.9 million for the same period last year. Reported net income included an $11.2 million net gain (after taxes and related incentive compensation) on the sale of our ownership interest in Springstone LLC ("Springstone"), partially offset by $2.9 million in prepayment penalties, net of tax, related to our long-term debt restructure strategy. Reported earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.62 as compared to $0.41 for the previous quarter and $0.38 for the same period in 2013.

Core net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $19.1 million, up 3.5% from $18.4 million for the previous quarter and up 6.9% from $17.8 million for the same period in 2013. Core diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.43, up from $0.42 for the previous quarter and up from $0.40 for the same period in 2013.

Reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $45.6 million, up from $24.6 million for the same period last year, which included the aforementioned net Springstone gain and long-term prepayment penalties in 2014 and approximately $12.0 million in merger-related expenses in 2013. Reported earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $1.03 as compared to $0.61 for the same period in 2013.

Core net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $37.5 million, up 16.8% from $32.1 million for the same period in 2013. Core diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.85, up from $0.79 for the same period in 2013.

The second quarter and first half reported results for 2014 and 2013 both contained items which the Company considers non-core, such as gain on the sale of the Springstone equity investment, long-term debt restructure prepayment penalties, merger expenses, securities gains, and other items not considered core to our operations.

Second Quarter 2014 Highlights:

  • Strong organic loan growth continued in the second quarter of 2014 annualized at 6.8%
     
  • Past due loans to total loans was 0.57% for the second quarter of 2014, consistent with the previous quarter, and down from 0.77% at the end of 2013
     
  • Sold 20% ownership interest in Springstone recognizing a $19.4 million gain during the quarter
     
  • Restructured $165 million in long-term borrowings, resulting in $4.6 million in prepayment penalties (non-core) recognized in the second quarter of 2014 and expecting to recognize additional prepayment penalties (non-core) in the third quarter of 2014 upon completion of the restructure strategy
     
    • The fully executed strategy is expected to lower the cost of the restructured long-term debt by approximately 200 basis points and is expected to improve our interest rate risk profile

"We are pleased to report that our core net income for the second quarter of 2014 reached a near-record level and is second only to our core net income for the third quarter of 2013," said NBT President and CEO Martin Dietrich. "Our dedicated and customer-focused team continues to promote strong organic loan growth and excellent asset quality. We continuously strive to manage our company and our balance sheet strategically for the long-term value of our shareholders as demonstrated by the sale of our ownership interest in Springstone Financial, LLC and leveraging that transaction to restructure our long-term borrowings."

Net interest income was $62.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, up 1.7% from the previous quarter, and up 1.5% from the same period last year. Fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") net interest margin was 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, down from 3.63% from the prior quarter, and down from 3.69% for the second quarter of 2013. Average interest earning assets were up $90.9 million, or 1.3%, for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the prior quarter, driven primarily by organic loan production. Slight rate compression on earning assets continued to negatively impact net interest margin in the second quarter of 2014 as evidenced by decreasing loan yields from 4.50% for the first quarter of 2014 to 4.42% for the second quarter of 2014. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $37.1 million, or 0.7%, from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2014. The rates paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased by 7 basis points from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2014. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of 4 basis points in rates paid on deposits as well as a 34 basis point decrease in the rate paid on long-term debt resulting from the aforementioned debt restructuring in the second quarter of 2014.     

Net interest income was $124.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, up 9.0% from the same period in 2013. FTE net interest margin was 3.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, down from 3.68% from the six months ended June 30, 2013. Average interest earning assets were up $683.5 million, or 10.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. This increase was driven primarily by the acquisition of Alliance Financial Corporation ("Alliance") in March 2013 as well as organic loan production during the past several quarters. The yield on earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was down 22 basis points from the same period in 2013, driven primarily by the decrease in loan yields from 4.81% for the first six months of 2013 to 4.46% for the first six months of 2014. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $396.4 million, or 8.3%, for the first six months of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. This increase was due primarily to an increase in deposits resulting from organic deposit growth as well as the aforementioned acquisition of Alliance. The rates paid on interest bearing liabilities for the first half of 2014 decreased by 19 basis points from the first six months of 2013. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of 12 basis points in rates paid on deposits as well as a 51 basis point decrease in the rate paid on long-term debt due primarily to maturity of long-term debt in the prior year, as well as the aforementioned debt restructuring in the second quarter of 2014.

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $46.0 million, up $19.8 million from the previous quarter, and up $20.5 million from the same period in 2013. The increase from the prior quarter and 2013 was primarily driven by a $19.4 million gain from the previously disclosed sale of our ownership interest in Springstone. Excluding this gain, noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $26.6 million, up $0.3 million, or 1.3%, from the previous quarter, and up $1.1 million, or 4.3%, from the same period in 2013.      

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $72.3 million, up $21.5 million, or 42.4%, from the same period in 2013. The increase from 2013 was primarily driven by the aforementioned $19.4 million gain recorded in the second quarter of 2014. Excluding this gain, noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $52.9 million, up $2.1 million, or 4.2%, from the same period in 2013. This increase from 2013 was due primarily to increases in trust and ATM and debit card fees, due in large part to the full impact from Alliance in 2014. These increases were partially offset by decreases in service charges on deposit accounts and net securities gains for the first six months of 2014 as compared with the same period in 2013. The decrease in service charges on deposit accounts from the prior year was due primarily to lower nonsufficient funds fees recorded during the first six months of 2014.  

Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $62.7 million, up $5.2 million from the previous quarter, and up $6.3 million from the same period in 2013. This increase from the prior quarter and 2013 was due primarily to $4.6 million of prepayment penalties from the aforementioned strategic long-term debt restructuring in the second quarter of 2014. Excluding these prepayment penalties, noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $58.2 million, up $0.7 million, or 1.2% from the previous quarter, and up $1.7 million, or 3.1%, from the same period in 2013. This increase from the prior year was due primarily to a $2.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits driven by an increase in incentive compensation related to the Springstone transaction.   

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $120.3 million, up $3.1 million from the same period in 2013. Excluding the aforementioned $4.6 million prepayment penalties in 2014 and the merger related expenses totaling $12.0 million in the first six months of 2013, noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $115.7 million, up $10.5 million, or 10.0% from the same period in 2013. This increase from the six months ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to 2014 including the full six months of Alliance expenses including occupancy, salaries and employee benefits, data processing, professional fees, and equipment. In addition, the increase in salaries and benefits included incremental incentive compensation related to the Springstone transaction, partially offset by lower retirement plan expenses due mainly to plan asset performance and a previous plan amendment.

The effective tax rate was 33.7% for the second quarter of 2014, 32.5% for the first quarter of 2014, and 30.5% for the second quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate was 33.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 30.5% for the first six months of 2013. The increases in the effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2014 were primarily due to a higher level of taxable income as a percentage of total income as compared to the same periods in 2013.

Asset Quality

Net charge-offs were $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2014, up from $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2014, and up slightly from $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2013. Net charge-offs to average loans for the second quarter of 2014 was 0.30%, compared to 0.27% for the first quarter of 2014 and 0.30% for the same period in 2013. NBT recorded a provision for loan losses of $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $3.6 million for the previous quarter, and $6.4 million for the same period in 2013.   

Nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.96% at June 30, 2014, down from 0.99% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Past due loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.57% for the second quarter of 2014, which was equivalent to the first quarter of 2014, and down from 0.77% as of December 31, 2013.   

The allowance for loan losses totaled $69.5 million at June 30, 2014, up slightly from $69.4 million at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.25% (1.44% excluding acquired loans) at June 30, 2014, compared to 1.27% (1.51% excluding acquired loans with no related allowance recorded) at March 31, 2014 and 1.28% (1.55% excluding acquired loans with no related allowance recorded) at December 31, 2013.
