Xenith Bankshares, Inc. Reports Second Quarter and First Half 2015 Results


RICHMOND, Va., July 28, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Xenith Bankshares reported net income of $823 thousand, or $0.06 per common share, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to a net loss of $205 thousand, or $(0.02) per common share, in the second quarter of 2014 and net income of $921 thousand, or $0.07 per common share, in the first quarter of 2015. Net income in the second quarter of 2014 included $428 thousand of pre-tax costs ($0.031 per common share, after tax) related to the merger with Colonial Virginia Bank ("CVB"), which was effective on June 30, 2014. Also, in the second quarter of 2014, the company incurred a $205 thousand fraud loss on an ACH transaction, of which $155 thousand was recovered through insurance in the fourth quarter of 2014.

The company reported $1.7 million of net income, or $0.13 per common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net income of $50 thousand, or $0.00 per common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Net income in the 2014 period included $633 thousand of pre-tax merger-related costs ($0.061 per common share, after tax) and the previously-mentioned $205 thousand fraud loss.

T. Gaylon Layfield, III, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "The first half of 2015 represents our most profitable first half since inception. Over the last twelve months, we have increased net loans $95 million, or 14%, while our guaranteed student loan portfolio has declined $28 million, which was expected as we do not intend to pursue any additional purchases in this asset class in the foreseeable future. The growth of our commercial real estate portfolio has been particularly strong over this period, increasing nearly $75 million, or 31%. This growth has been concentrated in our Richmond and Greater Washington target markets. Over this period, commercial and industrial (C & I) owner-occupied loans have increased nearly $18 million, or 42%. The area that has been the biggest growth challenge over this period has been C&I lending. While our pipeline remains healthy, we have seen customers decide to abandon more anticipated financings than has been our normal experience. We have also seen a sharp increase in competition in the Richmond market over the last year. There are several new entrants to the Richmond market and while all bankers like to blame each other for irrational pricing and terms, we have simply chosen not to proceed with some opportunities where the returns were substantially below our required returns. In other cases we have declined opportunities for underwriting reasons. In the short term, it's difficult to say no to a credit-worthy borrower, however the banking business is best practiced when all stakeholders take a longer term view of the business and resist following the herd. Notwithstanding this challenging environment, based on what we currently have in our pipeline, we expect C&I growth to be stronger in the second half of this year. "

Second Quarter and First Half 2015 Highlights

  • Income before income tax in the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $1.2 million compared to a pre-tax loss of $197 thousand in the same period of 2014 and pre-tax income of $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Net loans at June 30, 2015 increased $94.9 million from June 30, 2014.
  • Average interest-earning assets in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $922.3 million and $899.4 million, respectively, an increase of 35% and 36% from the same periods of 2014, respectively.

  • Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 0.33% for the year ended December 31, 2014. Net charge-offs in the six-month period of 2015 and full-year 2014 were affected by the charge-off of the unguaranteed portion of guaranteed student loans.
  • 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 10.11%, a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 8.86%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 10.11%, and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 11.96% at June 30, 2015.

During the second quarter of 2015, the company issued and sold $8.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% subordinated notes due 2025, which qualify as Tier 2 Capital for the company. Substantially all of the proceeds from the borrowing were used to redeem 8,381 shares of preferred stock, which the company had issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the Small Business Lending Fund program.

Layfield commented: "We continue to be pleased with the growth of net interest income plus noninterest income relative to noninterest expense. Year over year, in the first half, net interest income increased 30% and noninterest income increased 42%. During this same period, noninterest expense increased 9.4%. Since inception, we have focused on the power of that income and expense relationship as we have worked to achieve scale to support the infrastructure necessary to safely and soundly execute our business model. Despite the headwinds of the last five and a half years since we opened for business, we have made steady progress, and we believe we are now in the early stages of demonstrating the earnings power of our model. While some volatility is unavoidable in quarter-to-quarter results, because for a bank our size, we deal with large customers both on the loan and deposit side of the balance sheet, we believe the positive trends are evident."     

Operating Results

Second Quarter 2015 compared to Second Quarter 2014

Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $8.9 million compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the three-month period of 2015, total interest income reflected average interest-earning assets of $922.3 million compared to $682.7 million in interest-earning assets in the same period of 2014. Interest-earning assets in the 2015 period included those acquired in the CVB merger, which was effective June 30, 2014. Asset yields in the 2015 period were 3.89% compared to yields of 3.93% in the 2014 period. The decline in asset yields was primarily due to higher average cash balances and higher average balances of loans from the company's participation in a mortgage warehouse lending program, which have lower yields than other loan categories, partially offset by higher accretion from purchased loans and higher yields on the company's investment portfolio. Accretion from acquired loans increased to $359 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 from $139 thousand in the second quarter of 2014.

Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $1.5 million compared to $961 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Average interest-bearing liabilities in the three-month period of 2015 increased to $716.9 million from $531.6 million in the same period of 2014. The cost of total liabilities increased to 0.85% in the 2015 period from 0.72% 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 ($11.6 million outstanding at June 30, 2015), a significant portion of which was contributed to Xenith Bank as Tier 1 capital.

Net interest margin in second quarter 2015 was 3.23% compared to 3.37% in second quarter 2014. Net interest margin excluding accretion was 3.08% in the second quarter of 2015, down from 3.29% in the second quarter of 2014.

Net interest income after provision for loan and lease losses was $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $5.1 million in the same period of 2014. Net interest income after provision for loan and lease losses in the 2015 period reflected $700 thousand in loan and lease loss provision expense compared to $602 thousand of provision expense in the 2014 period. Higher provision expense in the 2015 period was the result of higher accretion of acquired loan discounts and increased reserves on several specific loans, partially offset by an improvement in certain qualitative factors applied to the company's allowance for loan and lease losses.

Total noninterest income was $411 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $262 thousand in the second quarter of 2014. Noninterest income in second quarter 2015 included higher service charges from treasury services, higher earnings from bank-owned life insurance and higher other fee income. Noninterest income related to treasury services increased over 13% in second quarter 2015 compared to second quarter 2014. 

Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2015 was $5.9 million compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. Higher noninterest expense in the 2015 period was primarily due to the additional personnel, branch and processing costs added with the CVB merger, management incentive charges for which there were no comparable amounts in the 2014 period, and costs incurred by the company in connection with the ongoing re-negotiation of the company's core processing service contract. Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2014 included $428 thousand of CVB merger-related costs. 

First Half 2015 compared to First Half 2014

Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $17.6 million and $13.0 million, respectively. For the first half of 2015, total interest income reflected average interest-earning assets of $899.4 million compared to $661.2 million in interest-earning assets in the first half of 2014. Average interest-earning assets in 2015 include assets acquired in the CVB merger. Asset yields were 3.95% in the first halves of both 2015 and 2014. Asset yields in the first half of 2015 were negatively affected by both higher average cash balances and higher average balances of mortgage warehouse loans, while yields in this same period were positively affected by higher accretion from acquired loans. Accretion from acquired loans increased to $842 thousand in the first half of 2015 from $278 thousand in the same period of 2014.

Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $3.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Average interest-bearing liabilities in the six-month period of 2015 increased to $707.0 million from $508.6 million in the 2014 period, which also reflected deposits acquired in the CVB merger. The cost of total liabilities was 0.85% and 0.72% in the 2015 and 2014 periods, respectively. 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.

Net interest margin for the first half of 2015 was 3.29% compared to 3.39% for the first half of 2014. Net interest margin excluding accretion was 3.11% in the first half of 2015, down from 3.31% in the first half of 2014.

Net interest income after provision for loan and lease losses was $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $10.4 million in the same period of 2014. Net interest income after provision for loan and lease losses in the 2015 period reflected $1.3 million in loan and lease provision expense compared to $830 thousand of provision expense in the 2014 period. Higher provision expense in the 2015 period was the result of higher accretion of acquired loan discounts and higher expected losses for several specific loans, partially offset by an improvement in certain qualitative factors applied to the company's allowance for loan and lease losses.

Total noninterest income was $823 thousand in the first half of 2015 compared to $580 thousand in the first half of 2014. Noninterest income in the 2015 period included higher service charges from treasury services, which increased 18%, higher earnings from bank-owned life insurance and higher other fee income.

Noninterest expense in the first half of 2015 was $11.7 million compared to $10.7 million in the same period of 2014. Noninterest expense in the 2014 period included $633 thousand of merger-related costs, while noninterest expense in the 2015 period included additional personnel, branch and processing costs added with the CVB merger, management incentive charges for which there were no comparable amounts in the 2014 period, and costs incurred by the company in connection with the ongoing re-negotiation of the company's core processing service contract. 

Second Quarter 2015 compared to First Quarter 2015

Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 was $8.9 million and $8.7 million, respectively. For the second quarter of 2015, total interest income reflected average interest-earning assets of $922.3 million compared to $876.3 million in interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2015. Asset yields were 3.89% in the second three months of 2015 compared to yields of 4.05% in the first three months of 2015. Accretion from acquired loans decreased to $359 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 from $483 thousand in the first quarter of 2015.

Total interest expense for both the three months ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 was $1.5 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities in the second quarter of 2015 increased to $716.9 million from $696.9 million in the first quarter period. The cost of total liabilities was 0.85% in both the first and second quarter periods of 2015.

Net interest margin in second quarter 2015 was 3.23% compared to 3.38% in first quarter 2015. Net interest margin excluding accretion was 3.08% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 3.15% in the first quarter of 2015.

Net interest income after provision for loan and lease losses was $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $6.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Net interest income after provision in the second quarter of 2015 reflected $700 thousand in loan and lease loss provision, while net interest income after provision in the first quarter of 2015 included $565 thousand in provision expense. Higher provision expense in the second quarter of 2015 was the result of higher accretion of acquired loan discounts and increased reserves on several specific loans.

Total noninterest income was $411 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $412 thousand in the first quarter of 2015.

Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2015 was $5.9 million compared to $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2015. Higher noninterest expense in the second quarter period was primarily due to costs incurred in the ongoing re-negotiation of the company's core processing service contract. 

Balance Sheet

Loans after allowance for loan and lease losses grew to $761.1 million at June 30, 2015 from $744.6 million at December 31, 2014. Net loan balances at June 30, 2015 included $64.2 million of guaranteed student loans, a decrease of $7.5 million from December 31, 2014 and a decrease of $29.6 million since December 31, 2013, the first year the company invested in the asset class.  

Securities available for sale were $95.0 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $64.3 million at December 31, 2014. Securities held to maturity were $9.3 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Total securities as a percentage of the company's total assets were 10.5% at June 30, 2015.

Total assets were $993.1 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $918.1 million at December 31, 2014.

Total deposits were $847.6 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $772.9 million at December 31, 2014.

Asset and Credit Quality

At June 30, 2015, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.81%, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans was 1.04%, and the ratio of the company's allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) to nonaccrual loans was 100.01%. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which includes the charge-off of the unguaranteed portion of the company's guaranteed student loans that became greater than 120 days past due and have a high probability of default. The company's ALLL as a percentage of total loans was 0.89% at June 30, 2015, and this measure excluding guaranteed student loans was 0.97%.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 1.56%1 as of June 30, 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 10.11%, a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 8.86%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 10.11%, and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 11.96% at June 30, 2015. Capital ratios for Xenith Bank were also strong, with a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 12.12%, a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 10.64%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12.12%, and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12.98% at June 30, 2015.

Total shareholders' equity was $98.7 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $106.2 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease in equity was primarily the result of the redemption of 8,381 shares of preferred stock in the second quarter of 2015, which the company had issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the Small Business Lending Fund program, and an increase in accumulated comprehensive loss, partially offset by net income for the period. As previously noted, during the second quarter of 2015, the company issued and sold $8.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% subordinated notes due 2025, substantially all of the proceeds of which were used to fund the preferred stock redemption. These transactions had no effect on the bank regulatory capital of Xenith Bank. Tangible book value at June 30, 2015 was $6.371 per share of common stock compared to $6.321 at December 31, 2014. Return on average assets was 0.33% for second quarter 2015 compared to 0.39% for first quarter 2015. Return on average common equity was 3.32% for second quarter 2015 compared to 3.73% for first quarter 2015.

Outlook

Layfield commented further: "The first half of 2015 represents solid progress for Xenith. While we expect to continue to grow organically in a challenging environment, we will remain disciplined in both underwriting and pricing. We remain exceptionally asset-sensitive and poised for accelerated profitability when rates ultimately rise as the vast majority of our loans are variable rate. As I have stated before, in addition to organic growth, the second prong of our strategy is growth from mergers and acquisitions. We continue to examine and consider various ideas on ways to accelerate our path to greater scale to drive returns higher.  

"Importantly, we remain impatient. While we have made progress, we are not yet generating the earnings necessary for 'top-tier' performance, the level to which we aspire. The business climate in which we operate today is characterized by a 'sluggish' economic recovery, low interest rate environment and hyper-competition. Striking the right balance between impatience and prudence at this point in the cycle is imperative. We believe that achieving this balance will ultimately separate the winners from the losers."

______________________________            
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 management uses to assess asset quality. Management believes that tangible book value per common share is meaningful because it is one of the measures management uses 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 consolidated balance sheets. Calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
