Xenith Bankshares, Inc. Reports 2015 First Quarter Results, Significant Earnings Growth


RICHMOND, Va., April 29, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xenith Bankshares, Inc. (Nasdaq:XBKS), parent company of Xenith Bank, a business-focused bank serving the Greater Washington, D.C., Richmond, and Greater Hampton Roads, Virginia markets, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Xenith Bankshares recorded net income of $921 thousand, or $0.07 per common share, in the first quarter 2015, compared to net income of $255 thousand, or $0.02 per common share, in the first quarter 2014 and net income of $575 thousand, or $0.04 per common share, in the fourth quarter 2014. Net income in the first and fourth quarters of 2014 included$205 thousand ($0.011 per common share, after tax) and $74 thousand ($0.011 per common share, after tax), respectively, of pre-tax merger-related costs.

T. Gaylon Layfield, III, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Our 2015 first quarter represents our most profitable three-month period since inception, excluding one-time gains resulting from our acquisition of the assets of Virginia Business Bank in July 2011 and the recapture of our deferred tax asset in September 2012. In part, our results reflect the lift we derived from the Colonial Virginia Bank (CVB) merger. While CVB was a small transaction, we had no tangible book value dilution and attained the cost savings we expected in the time frame we planned."

First Quarter 2015 Highlights

  • Income before income tax in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1.3 million compared to income before income tax of $464 thousand in the same period of 2014 and $797 thousand in the three months ended December 31, 2014. Pre-tax income in the 2014 periods included merger-related costs, as noted above.
  • Net interest income in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $7.3 million compared to $5.5 million in the same period of 2014 and $7.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2014. Accretion of acquired loan discounts in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $483 thousand compared to accretion of acquired loan discounts of $139 thousand in the same period of 2014 and $392thousand in the three months ended December 31, 2014.
  • Net loans were $751.0 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $744.6 million at December 31, 2014. Net loans at March 31, 2015 reflected a decline of $3.8 million in guaranteed student loan balances since December 31, 2014. Net loans at March 31, 2015 increased $192.4 million from March 31, 2014, which includes $70.1 million of loans acquired in the CVB merger in June 2014.
  • Average interest-earning assets in the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $876.3 million, up $236.7 million (37%) from $639.6 million in the same period of 2014 and up $8.1 million (1%) from the three months ended December 31, 2014.
  • Total assets at March 31, 2015 were $992.7 million compared to $918.1 million at December 31, 2014. Total assets at March 31, 2015 included an additional $58.1 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to year-end 2014. Total assets at March 31, 2015 increased $309.2 million from total assets at March 31, 2014, including assets of $114.4 million acquired in the CVB merger.
  • Total deposits at March 31, 2015 were $843.4 million compared to $772.9 million at December 31, 2014 and $570.0 million at March 31, 2014. Total deposits acquired in the CVB merger were $101.0 million.
  • Asset quality and coverage for loan and lease losses remained strong at March 31, 2015 with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.90%, nonperforming assets to total loans of 1.18%, and allowance for loan and lease losses to nonaccrual loans of 82.78%.
  • Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 0.33% for the year ended December 31, 2014. Net charge-offs in the three-month period of 2015 and full year 2014 were affected by a charge-off of the unguaranteed portion of guaranteed student loans, which is further discussed below.
  • The company's combined capital strength was reflected in ratios that were well above regulatory standards for "well-capitalized" banks, with a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 10.23%, a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 10.11%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 11.23%, and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12.00% at March 31, 2015. The company reported a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 11.34%, a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 11.04%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12.24%, and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 13.02% for Xenith Bank.

Layfield commented: "While loan growth was positive in the first quarter, expected seasonality in our Greater Washington, D.C. government contractor portfolio was mostly responsible for a meaningful contraction of working capital lines of credit to our customers in that market. We expect those lines to expand once again as we move further into 2015. Looking back over the last five years, I would highlight several things. First, since we started Xenith, we have grown net interest income at a compounded annual rate of nearly 33%, a rate that I believe puts us in the top three of all publicly-traded banks in Virginia. Second, our noninterest expenses have increased at less than half the rate of our net interest income. We have a business banking model that continues to have significant operating leverage. Third, I am proud of the credit culture we have developed, which is essential to the long-term health of any banking organization and manifests itself in our sound credit metrics. Lastly, we have built an asset-sensitive balance sheet in which 80% of all our loans have floating rates. In essence, we pay an insurance premium every day to avoid precarious mismatches in the re-pricing of assets and liabilities. If and when interest rates move higher, our net interest margin will expand as a result of this asset sensitivity."                 

Operating Results

First Quarter 2015 compared to First Quarter 2014

Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $8.7 million compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. For the three-month period of 2015, total interest income reflected average interest-earning assets of $876.3 million compared to $639.6 million in interest-earning assets in the same period of 2014. Asset yields also increased with yields of 4.05% in the first three months of 2015 compared to yields of 3.96% in the first three months of 2014, primarily due to higher accretion in the 2015 period and higher yields on the company's investment portfolio, partially offset by higher balances of loans from the company's participation in a mortgage warehouse lending program, which have lower yields than other loan categories. Accretion from acquired loans increased to $483 thousand in the first three months of 2015 from $139 thousand in the first three months of 2014.

Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1.5 million compared to $867 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Average interest-bearing liabilities in the three-month period of 2015 increased to $696.9 million from $485.4 million in the same period of 2014. The cost of total liabilities increased to 0.85% in the 2015 period from 0.71% in the 2014 period. The higher cost of liabilities is primarily due to higher savings and money market deposit rates resulting from promotions offered by the company to fund loan growth and the costs related to the company's senior term loan ($12 million outstanding at March 31, 2015), a significant portion of which was contributed to Xenith Bank as Tier 1 capital.

Net interest margin in first quarter 2015 was 3.38% compared to 3.42% in first quarter 2014. Net interest margin pressure caused by the continued low interest rate environment, especially for loans, negatively affected the company's net interest margin when comparing the 2015 period to the same period of 2014, as did higher balances of mortgage warehouse loans, as previously discussed. This interest margin pressure was partially offset by higher accretion from acquired loans in the 2015 period. Net interest margin excluding accretion was 3.15% in the first quarter 2015, down from 3.33% in the first quarter of 2014.

Net interest income after provision for loan and lease losses was $6.7 million for the first three months of 2015 compared to $5.2 million in the same period of 2014. Net interest income after provision for loan and lease losses in the 2015 period reflected $565 thousand in loan and lease loss provision expense compared to $227 thousand of loan and lease loss provision expense in the 2014 period. Higher provision expense in the 2015 period was the result of higher accretion on acquired loans and higher expected losses for the unguaranteed portion of the company's guaranteed student loan portfolio.

Total noninterest income was $412 thousand in first quarter 2015 compared to $320 thousand in first quarter 2014. Noninterest income in first quarter 2015 included $67 thousand of gains on sales of securities, while noninterest income in first quarter 2014 included higher derivative fee income and a $38 thousand reserve for other real estate owned. However, noninterest income related to treasury services increased nearly 22% in first quarter 2015 compared to first quarter 2014. 

Noninterest expense in first quarter 2015 was $5.8 million compared to $5.1 million in first quarter 2014. Higher noninterest expense in the 2015 period was primarily due to the additional personnel, branch and processing costs added with the CVB merger, as well as management incentive charges for which there were no comparable amounts in the 2014 period. Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2014 included $205 thousand of CVB merger-related costs.   

Income tax expense in first quarter 2015 was $376 thousand, a 29% effective rate, compared to $209 thousand, a 45% effective rate, for first quarter 2014. The lower effective rate of tax in the 2015 period compared to the 2014 period was due to the higher level of tax-exempt bonds held in the company's investment portfolio and the non-deductibility of certain CVB merger-related costs incurred in the 2014 period.

First Quarter 2015 compared to Fourth Quarter 2014

Total interest income for both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $8.7 million. For the first quarter of 2015, total interest income reflected average interest-earning assets of $876.3 million compared to $868.2 million in interest-earning assets in the fourth quarter of 2014. Asset yields were 4.05% in the first three months of 2015 compared to yields of 4.04% in the last three months of 2014. Accretion from acquired loans increased to $483 thousand in the first quarter of 2015 from $392 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Total interest expense for both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $1.5 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities in the three-month period of 2015 decreased to $696.9 million from $698.0 million in the 2014 period. The cost of total liabilities was 0.85% in both the 2015 and 2014 periods.

Net interest margin in first quarter 2015 was 3.38% compared to 3.35% in fourth quarter 2014. Net interest margin excluding accretion was 3.15% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 3.16% in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Net interest income after provision for loan and lease losses was $6.7 million for the first three months of 2015 compared to $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Net interest income after provision in the 2015 period reflected $565 thousand in loan and lease loss provision compared to $830 thousand of provision expense in the 2014 period. Lower provision expense in the 2015 period was the result of a reduction in allowance needs for qualitative factors and lower loan growth in the 2015 period, partially offset by higher accretion on acquired loans in the 2015 period and higher provision on guaranteed student loans.

Total noninterest income was $412 thousand in first quarter 2015 compared to $741 thousand in fourth quarter 2014. Noninterest income in the first quarter 2015 included $67 thousand of gains on sales of securities, while noninterest income in the fourth quarter of 2014 included $389 thousand of gains.

Noninterest expense in first quarter 2015 was $5.8 million compared to $6.4 million in fourth quarter 2014. Higher noninterest expense in the 2014 period was primarily due to annual management incentive charges of approximately $500 thousand recorded in the quarter and $74 thousand of CVB merger-related costs. 

Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2015 was $376 thousand, a 29% effective rate, compared to $222 thousand, a 28% effective rate, for the fourth quarter of 2014.

Balance Sheet

Loans after allowance for loan and lease losses grew to $751.0 million at March 31, 2015 from $744.6 million at December 31, 2014. Net loan balances at March 31, 2015 included $68.0 million of guaranteed student loans, a decrease of $3.8 million from December 31, 2014 and a decrease of $26 million since December 31, 2013.  

Securities available for sale were $73.0 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $64.3 million at December 31, 2014. Securities held to maturity were $9.3 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Total securities as a percentage of the company's total assets were 8.3% at March 31, 2015.

Total assets were $992.7 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $918.1 million at December 31, 2014.

Total deposits at March 31, 2015 were $843.4 million compared to $772.9 million at December 31, 2014.

Asset and Credit Quality

At March 31, 2015, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.90%, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans was 1.18%, and the ratio of the company's allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) to nonaccrual loans was 82.78%. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.04% as of March 31, 2015, which includes the charge-off of the unguaranteed portion of the company's guaranteed student loans that are greater than 120 days past due and have a high probability of default. The company's ALLL as a percentage of total loans was 0.85% at March 31, 2015 and this measure, excluding guaranteed student loans, was 0.92%.1 Provision for loan and lease losses on guaranteed student loans is calculated on that portion of carrying values that is not covered by the federal government guarantee. Additionally, the company does not record provision for loan and lease losses on loans held pursuant to the company's mortgage warehouse lending program. Loans pursuant to this program are made to mortgage originators that seek funding to facilitate the origination of residential mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market and are generally held for less than 30 days. ALLL plus remaining discounts (credit-related fair value adjustments) on acquired loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.58%1 as of March 31, 2015.

Capital and Shareholder Value Measures

The company's combined capital ratios remained well above regulatory standards for "well-capitalized" banks, with a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 10.19%, a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 10.08%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 11.20%, and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 11.97% at March 31, 2015. Capital ratios for Xenith Bank were also strong, with a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 11.31%, a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 11.01%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12.21%, and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12.98% at March 31, 2015.

Total shareholders' equity was $107.1 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $106.2 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in equity was primarily the result of net income in the quarter. Tangible book value at March 31, 2015 was $6.371 per share of common stock compared to $6.321 at December 31, 2014. Return on average assets was 0.39% for first quarter 2015 compared to 0.15% for first quarter 2014 and 0.25% for fourth quarter 2014. Return on average common equity was 3.73% for first quarter 2015 compared to 1.27% for first quarter 2014 and 2.34% for fourth quarter 2014.

Outlook

Layfield commented further: "We continue to focus on building new relationships and expanding existing ones, I believe our expertise in commercial and industrial (C&I) lending is a distinguishing characteristic for us compared to banks our size and larger. A likely positive for future loan growth is our investment in commercial real estate lending personnel in Northern Virginia. Led by a banker who has spent much of his career financing Northern Virginia commercial real estate, we are already landing high-quality commercial real estate loans that will be additive to our future results.

Finally, I'd like to repeat several themes from my recent letter to shareholders. Since the end of 2009, we have grown loans and deposits at average annual growth rates of 52% and 50%, respectively. This growth has been balanced between organic growth and growth from mergers and acquisitions. We have purposefully developed a balanced and diversified loan portfolio with C&I loans spread across the many industries present in our target markets and have remained mindful of not becoming overly reliant on cyclical real estate lending, a mistake made repeatedly by the banking industry. Each of our target markets has its own characteristics, but collectively, they have been the growth engine of the Virginia economy for decades. Our strategy will continue to focus on organic growth and growth from mergers and acquisitions. We work every day to deliver on this strategy while continuing to drive improving returns."

______________________________            
Allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) as a percentage of gross loans excluding guaranteed student loans, ALLL plus discounts on acquired loans as a percentage of gross loans, and tangible book value per share are supplemental financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. Management believes that ALLL as a percentage of gross loans excluding guaranteed student loans, and ALLL plus discounts on acquired loans as a percentage of gross loans are meaningful because they are two measures we use to assess our asset quality. Management believes that tangible book value per common share is meaningful because it is one of the measures we use to assess capital adequacy. Set forth above are reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. Book value is the same as shareholders' equity presented on our consolidated balance sheets. Our calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
