Performance Highlights
-
On January 16, 2015, the Company acquired $62.3 million of assets and assumed all of the deposit liabilities from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") as receiver for First National Bank of Crestview ("Crestview"), a full-service commercial bank headquartered in Crestview, Florida, which was closed and placed into receivership.
-
The Company had total assets of $4.1 billion at March 31, 2015, an increase of 8.5% from December 31, 2014, which included the acquisition of $62.3 million of assets from the Crestview transaction.
-
Total loans increased $129.8 million, or 4.7%, from December 31, 2014, which included $25.1 million of loans attributable to the Crestview transaction.
-
Total deposits increased $245.6 million, or 7.9%, from December 31, 2014, which included $70.8 million in deposits attributable to the Crestview transaction.
-
On February 18, 2015, the Company issued $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes. The net proceeds were injected primarily into the bank to support growth without any dilution to shareholders.
- The Company's cost of deposits for the first quarter of 2015 was 1.44%, a decrease of 6 basis points on a linked-quarter basis and 13 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2014 due primarily to the tiered pricing program on deposits.
Loans
The Company's loans totaled $2.9 billion at March 31, 2015, an increase of $129.8 million, or 4.7%, from December 31, 2014, and an increase of $433.1 million, or 17.5%, from March 31, 2014. Loan growth continues to be driven by the favorable economic market conditions in the New Orleans trade area. The increase in the Company's construction loan portfolio of 8.8% from December 31, 2014 and 50.3% from March 31, 2014 was due primarily to the funding of construction loans related to hotels, residential real estate development, and federal tax credit related projects. The growth in the consumer real estate portfolio was due primarily to $21.5 million in consumer real estate loans acquired from Crestview.
The increase in the Company's commercial loan portfolio of 4.5% from December 31, 2014 and 13.6% from March 31, 2014 was due in part to increases in all segments of the portfolio. The Company does have exposure to oil and gas in its commercial loan portfolio. The oil and gas commercial loan portfolio was approximately 3.4% of the Company's total loan portfolio. The Company also had outstanding commitments related to its oil and gas portfolio of $10.5 million as of March 31, 2015. The Company's exposure to exploration and production in its oil and gas portfolio was approximately $57.4 million with outstanding commitments of $6.4 million. The Company is actively monitoring these credits.
The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio as of the dates indicated:
| (In thousands) | March 31, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | % Change | March 31, 2014 | % Change |

| Total loans | $ 2,904,039 | $ 2,774,264 | 4.7% | $ 2,470,963 | 17.5% |
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets totaled $29.7 million at March 31, 2015, an increase of $1.0 million from December 31, 2014 and $5.5 million from March 31, 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, total nonperforming loans increased $1.6 million, while other real estate owned decreased $0.6 million. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total loans, other real estate owned and other assets owned was 1.02% at March 31, 2015, down 1 basis point from December 31, 2014 and an increase of 4 basis points from March 31, 2014.
The allowance for loan losses was $45.2 million at March 31, 2015, an increase of $2.9 million from December 31, 2014, and $10.7 million from March 31, 2014. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to period-end loans was 1.56% at March 31, 2015, compared to 1.53% at December 31, 2014 and 1.39% at March 31, 2014.
Deposits
Total deposits at March 31, 2015 were $3.4 billion, an increase of $245.6 million, or 7.9%, from December 31, 2014 and an increase of $477.0 million, or 16.5%, from March 31, 2014. The increase in deposits of 7.9% was due to organic deposit growth of 5.6%, which occurred across all deposit categories, coupled with growth of 2.3% attributable to the assumption of $72.3 million in deposit liabilities from the Crestview transaction. The largest categories of the Company's deposit mix were certificates of deposit, which comprised 35.9% of total deposits, and money market accounts, which comprised 33.7% of total deposits. The increase in certificates of deposit of $32.7 million, or 2.8%, as compared to December 31, 2014 was due primarily to the assumption of $17.0 million of certificates of deposit from the Crestview transaction. The increase in the certificates of deposit balance was also impacted by the tiered pricing on its certificate of deposit balances. The Company's tiered pricing strategy for deposits, which was instituted during 2014, is designed to provide better returns for its more profitable customers. The increase in money market deposits of $78.8 million, or 7.5%, compared to December 31, 2014 and $373.6 million, or 49.1%, compared to March 31, 2014 was due primarily to the shift by customers to money market accounts from NOW accounts due to the lowering of NOW rates in the lower balance tiers during 2014.
The Company's noninterest-bearing deposit accounts increased $68.8 million, or 18.9%, from December 31, 2014, and $103.0 million, or 31.2%, from March 31, 2014. The increase was due primarily to growth initiatives commencing during the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase in the balances held by the Company's commercial loan customers, and the assumption of $22.8 million in noninterest-bearing deposits from Crestview.
The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's deposits as of the dates indicated:
| (In thousands) | March 31, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | % Change | March 31, 2014 | % Change |
| Noninterest-bearing | $ 433,377 | $ 364,534 | 18.9% | $ 330,395 | 31.2% |
| NOW accounts | 536,926 | 476,825 | 12.6 | 522,241 | 2.8 |
| Money market accounts | 1,134,338 | 1,055,505 | 7.5 | 760,765 | 49.1 |
| Savings deposits | 54,750 | 49,634 | 10.3 | 54,852 | (0.2) |
| Certificates of deposit | 1,207,055 | 1,174,352 | 2.8 | 1,221,183 | (1.2) |
| Total deposits | $ 3,366,446 | $ 3,120,850 | 7.9% | $ 2,889,436 | 16.5% |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the first quarter of March 31, 2015 totaled $27.6 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 1.7%, from the fourth quarter of 2014, and an increase of $2.8 million, or 11.2%, from the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in net interest income compared to the linked quarter was due primarily to the issuance of the subordinated debentures during the first quarter of 2015 which increased interest expense $0.4 million. The Company's net interest margin was 3.16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, 17 basis points lower than the fourth quarter of 2014 and 14 basis points lower than the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in the loan yield of 7 basis points compared to the linked-quarter and 21 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2014 is due to the shift in the Company's loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2015 to more variable rate loans than fixed rate loans. During March 2015, the Company entered into four additional Prime rate swaps with a notional amount of $75.0 million bringing the Company's total notional value on all of its Prime cash flow hedges to $325.0 million. The additional cash flow hedges are intended to mitigate the shift in the loan portfolio to a more evenly balanced portfolio. The net proceeds from the subordinated debt issuance and the Company's excess liquidity were primarily responsible for the increase in average short-term investments which decreased the earning asset yield 10 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 and 12 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2014. The Company anticipates deploying these funds in future periods. Average interest-earning assets increased $203.9 million over the fourth quarter of 2014 and $497.3 million over the first quarter of 2014. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 6 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2014 and 13 basis points over the first quarter of 2014 due to the tiered pricing on all of its deposit products (including certificates of deposit). The issuance of the subordinated debentures during the first quarter of 2015 had a 4 basis points impact on the Company's cost of funds.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2015 totaled $2.5 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 9.8%, compared to the linked-quarter, and a decrease of $0.8 million, or 25.3%, compared to the first quarter of 2014. The increase in noninterest income for the linked-quarter was due to an increase in income from the sales of state tax credits of $0.6 million, offset by a decrease in Community Development Entity fees of $0.5 million.
The decrease in noninterest income for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 resulted primarily from decreases of $0.5 million in income from sales of state tax credits due primarily to the syndication fees earned from the sale of state tax credits in the first quarter of 2014, which related to the qualified equity investment authority from the State of Louisiana under the Louisiana New Markets Jobs Act received in 2013 and $0.6 million in Community Development Entity fees, offset by an increase of $0.2 million in cash surrender value income on bank-owned life insurance.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 totaled $22.5 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.9%, compared to the linked-quarter, and an increase of $5.2 million, or 29.8%, compared to the same three month period of 2014. The increase over the linked-quarter was due primarily to increases in tax credit amortization of $1.0 million and data processing of $0.1 million, offset by decreases of $0.9 million in all other components of noninterest expense.
The increase over the prior year three month period was due to increases in all components of noninterest expense, primarily tax credit amortization of $2.0 million and salaries and employee benefits of $1.5 million.
Taxes
The Company's tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $11.4 million, an increase of $0.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, and an increase of $6.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2014. The increase was due to the Company's participation in various tax credit programs, primarily its increased investment in projects that generate Federal Historic Rehabilitation tax credits.
The Company expects to experience an effective tax rate below the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to its receipt of Federal New Markets Tax Credits, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits.
Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders' equity totaled $450.0 million at March 31, 2015, an increase of $13.6 million from year-end 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company's earnings over the period.
