- Total fiscal 2014 average equity to average assets of 24.62%
- Net non-covered organic loan growth of 12.2% over prior year
- Tangible book value per share of $12.06 at September 30, 2014, up $0.25 year over year
- Basic and diluted EPS of $0.29 and $0.28, respectively, for the year
- Nonperforming non-covered assets at 0.65% of total non-covered assets at September 30, 2014
- Repurchased 4.9 million shares for $53.2 million during fiscal 2014
WEST POINT, Ga., Nov. 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Charter Financial Corporation (the "Company") (Nasdaq:CHFN) today reported net income of $6.0 million, or $0.29 and $0.28 per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the year ended September 30, 2014, compared with $6.3 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a $5.8 million decrease in discount accretion and amortization of the FDIC loss share receivable, partially offset by an increase to noninterest income and decreases to both interest expense and provision for loan losses.
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, was $1.0 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, compared with $920,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The slight increase in net income and earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, was primarily the result of reduced provision for loan losses due to improved credit quality and higher noninterest income, partially offset by lower discount accretion and amortization. Earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 also benefited from a lower weighted average number of common shares outstanding as a result of the share repurchases made during fiscal 2014.
Quarterly Operating Results
The improvement in reported quarterly earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 resulted primarily from the following items:
- Borrowing expense decreased $124,000, or 17.1%.
- Deposit expense decreased by $160,000, or 17.1%.
- The cost of deposits decreased to 49 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to 55 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
- Net interest margin excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable was 2.95% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared with 2.68% the same quarter of 2013.
- Provision for covered loan losses decreased by $122,000.
- No provision required for non-covered loans compared to $300,000 the same quarter of 2013.
- Noninterest income increased by $906,000, or 32.3%.
- Deposit and bankcard fee income increased by a combined $501,000.
- Gain on sale of loans and loan servicing release fees increased by $174,000.
The improvement was partially mitigated by the following items:
- Net decrease to total interest income of $1.4 million due to impact of accretion income and FDIC loss share receivable amortization.
- The average yield on loans was 5.05% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to 6.14% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
- Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $285,000, primarily related to stock awards made during the 2014 fiscal year.
Chairman and CEO Robert L. Johnson said, "We are pleased with our progress in improving our core earnings with $6.0 million in net income for the year in spite of having $5.8 million less in net discount accretion and amortization than we had in the prior year. We look forward to additional improvements in core earnings by building our non-covered loan portfolio while also improving noninterest income."
Financial Condition
The Company's total assets were $1.0 billion at September 30, 2014, a decrease of $79.0 million from September 30, 2013, due predominantly to the reduction of cash and cash equivalents as a result of the Company's share repurchase programs. Net non-covered loans grew $65.9 million, or 14.0%, to $536.7 million at September 30, 2014, from $470.9 million at September 30, 2013. Of the $65.9 million in net non-covered loan growth, $8.3 million was due to a transfer of non-single family loans that are no longer covered by the FDIC due to the expiration of a non-single family loss sharing agreement during 2014. At September 30, 2014, $69.6 million of net loans receivable were covered by FDIC loss sharing, down from $109.0 million at September 30, 2013, due to the continued progress through the resolution process on loss share assets as well as due to the expired agreement mentioned previously.
Mr. Johnson continued, "In spite of the persisting slow-growth economic activity in our markets, we increased our net organic loan portfolio by $25.9 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and $57.6 million during the year ended September 30, 2014, an increase of 12.2%, and hope to see this trend continue in the coming year."
Total deposits were $717.2 million at September 30, 2014, compared with $751.3 million at September 30, 2013 due primarily to a $44.9 million decrease in time deposits. Core deposits increased from $475.4 million at September 30, 2013, to $486.2 million at September 30, 2014, due primarily to an increase in transaction accounts.
Total stockholders' equity decreased to $225.0 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $273.8 million at September 30, 2013, due predominantly to $53.2 million of share repurchases during fiscal 2014.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income decreased to $7.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared with $8.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Interest income decreased by $1.5 million while interest expense decreased by $284,000 quarter over quarter. The Company's net interest margin, excluding the effects of purchase accounting, increased to 2.95% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared with 2.68% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Net interest margin, including the impact of loss share accounting, was 3.14% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, and 3.44% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Net interest income decreased to $29.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2014, from $35.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2013. Total interest income decreased to $35.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2014, compared to $42.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2013, due to lower average yields on loans and a decline in accretion income on acquired covered loans. Interest expense decreased to $5.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2014, compared with $7.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of lower interest expense on certificates of deposit and borrowings. The Company's net interest margin, excluding the effects of purchase accounting, for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 2.87% and 2.82%, respectively, while net interest margin, including the effects of purchase accounting, for the same periods was 3.22% and 3.82%, respectively.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recorded no provision for loan losses on non-covered loans and a negative provision of $127,000 on covered loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to a provision of $300,000 on non-covered loans and a negative provision of $5,000 on covered loans for the same quarter in 2013.
For the year ended September 30, 2014, provision for loan losses on non-covered loans was $300,000 compared to a provision of $1.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was due to an overall improvement in the non-covered loan portfolio. A negative provision for loan losses on covered loans of $1.0 million was recorded for the year ended September 30, 2014 due to improved credit quality and workout experience compared with an $89,000 provision for the year ended September 30, 2013.
Accounting for FDIC-Assisted Acquisitions
Mr. Johnson said, "We are pleased we have reduced the FDIC indemnification asset to $10.5 million. This is evidence we are in the homestretch in resolving the acquired problem assets. We continue evaluating the cash flows of the purchased loans and adjusting the indemnification asset, discount accretion and amortization of the indemnification asset based on revised cash flow estimates. We currently project remaining discount accretion of $6.0 million and $2.9 million in amortization resulting in a net future pre-tax income impact of $3.1 million from this purchase accounting."
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was up $906,000 compared with the same period in fiscal 2013, due primarily to an increase in bankcard and deposit fees. Noninterest income increased $2.6 million to $14.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2014, compared with $11.7 million for fiscal 2013, due primarily to an increase in bankcard and deposit fees as well as a true-up receipt from the completion and renegotiation of a processing contract. As the use of bankcards increase due to the continued transition from paper to electronic transactions, the Company has experienced significant growth in third-party processing fees associated with this increased usage.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 decreased slightly to $9.4 million compared with $9.5 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2013. Similarly, for the year ended September 30, 2014 noninterest expense remained relatively unchanged at $36.2 million compared with $36.3 million for fiscal 2013.
Asset Quality
Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming assets not covered by loss sharing agreements at 0.65% of total non-covered assets and the allowance for loan losses at 1.55% of total non-covered loans and 199.64% of nonperforming non-covered loans at September 30, 2014. The Company had net loan charge-offs of $132,000 on non-covered loans for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net loan charge-offs of $492,000 on non-covered loans for the same period in fiscal 2013. For the year ended September 30, 2014, net charge-offs as a percent of average non-covered loans was 0.08% compared to 0.32% for fiscal 2013.
Capital Management
During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares for approximately $18.8 million, or $11.06 per share.
Mr. Johnson said, "Since December 2013, we have completed three stock buyback programs, whereby the Company repurchased a combined 4.9 million shares, or approximately 21% of our common stock, at a discount to tangible book value. Meanwhile, in September we announced the approval of a new stock buyback program for up to 1.8 million shares, or approximately 10% of our outstanding shares, of which 1.2 million have been repurchased subsequent to fiscal year end for an average price of $10.92 per share. The 6.1 million of total shares repurchased were purchased at a combined discount to tangible book value of $6.6 million."
Mr. Johnson concluded, "The Company's solid financial position affords us the ability to repurchase these shares which currently trade at a discount to tangible book value per share. We believe that this use of capital, along with our quarterly cash dividend, provides excellent stockholder value. In the coming fiscal year, we will continue to explore the opportunity for accretive acquisitions, organically grow our loan portfolio and improve profitability through the reduction of expenses and increased margins."
