Sussex Bancorp Announces a 62% Increase in EPS for the Third Quarter of 2015 and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend


ROCKAWAY, N.J., Oct. 29, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sussex Bancorp (the "Company") (Nasdaq:SBBX), the holding company for Sussex Bank (the "Bank"), today announced reported net income of $951 thousand, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, as compared to net income of $592 thousand, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. This increase equates to a 61.5% increase in net income per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the same period last year. The improvement for the third quarter of 2015 was driven by loan and deposit growth, an increase in pre-tax income generated from our insurance subsidiary and a decline in credit quality costs (provision for loan losses, loan collection costs and expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate). For the first nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported net income of $2.8 million, or $0.61 per basic and diluted share, an increase of over 48% as compared to the same period last year.

"I am pleased to report that our strong organic growth continued in the third quarter. Our loan portfolio grew 4.6% or 18.5% annualized on $54.2 million of gross loan production, our deposits grew at an annualized rate of 12.0%, predominately in non-interest bearing deposits and our insurance subsidiary had a strong quarter, increasing their pre-tax income 477%," said Anthony Labozzetta, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sussex Bank. Mr. Labozzetta also stated, "While spreads in our industry are tightening due in part to the present hyper-competitive environment, the contributions from all of our business lines not only helped keep our net interest margin relatively stable, but also produced the positive operating leverage necessary to drive our improved financial performance."

In addition, Mr. Labozzetta stated, "We are excited about opening our next branch in Oradell, NJ which is scheduled for the first quarter of 2016. Comparable to our successful Astoria location, the Oradell branch will utilize our new model that includes more technology, a smaller footprint and a new approach to staffing."

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend

The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share, which is payable on November 25, 2015 to common shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 11, 2015.

Financial Performance

Net Income. For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported net income of $951 thousand, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $592 thousand, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. The increase in net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $508 thousand, a decline in the provision for loan losses of $377 thousand and an increase in pre-tax income from our insurance subsidiary, Tri-State Insurance Agency, Inc., which increased $143 thousand to $173 thousand for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The aforementioned were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $504 thousand, largely due to a $265 thousand increase in expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate associated with the sale and pending sales of $1.3 million of foreclosed real estate in the third quarter of 2015. 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported net income of $2.8 million, or $0.61 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.41 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was largely due to increases in net interest income of $1.5 million, non-interest income of $507 thousand, and a decline in the provision for loan losses of $725 thousand, which were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $1.3 million and income tax expense of $519 thousand. Tri-State Insurance Agency, Inc. pre-tax income increased $175 thousand, or 41.5% to $601 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.    

Net Interest Income. Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $508 thousand, or 10.9%, to $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2015, as compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $64.7 million, or 12.1%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $51.2 million, or 11.7%. The improvement in net interest income was partly offset by a decline in the net interest margin of 4 basis points to 3.43% for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The decline in the net interest margin was mostly attributed to a 10 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on loans. 

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $1.4 million, or 10.6%, to $15.1 million for the first nine months of 2015 as compared to $13.7 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $60.0 million, or 11.5%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $58.1 million, or 13.8%. The improvement in net interest income was partly offset by a decline in the net interest margin of 3 basis points to 3.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The decline in the net interest margin was mostly attributed to a 14 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on loans.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses decreased $377 thousand, or 99.7%, to $1 thousand for the third quarter of 2015, as compared to $378 thousand for the same period in 2014.

Provision for loan losses decreased $725 thousand, or 58.9%, to $506 thousand for the first nine months of 2015, as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2014.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $154 thousand, or 10.3%, to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period last year. For the third quarter of 2015, insurance commissions and fees and other income increased $214 thousand and $73 thousand, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increases were partia1ly offset by declines in gain on securities transactions and service fees on deposit accounts of $153 thousand and $25 thousand, respectively, for the third quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.

The Company reported an increase in non-interest income of $507 thousand, or 11.1%, to $5.1 million for the first nine months of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. The increase in non-interest income was largely due to increases in insurance commissions and fees and other income of $436 thousand and $127 thousand, respectively, which were partially offset by a decrease in service fees on deposit accounts of $128 thousand for the first nine months of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.

Non-interest Expense. The Company's non-interest expenses increased $504 thousand, or 10.4%, to $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period last year. The increase for the third quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, was largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $288 thousand, expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate of $265 thousand, furniture and equipment expenses of $121 thousand and other expenses of $121 thousand, which were partially offset by decreases in data processing costs of $81 thousand, FDIC fees of $63 thousand and occupancy expenses of $49 thousand. 

The Company's non-interest expenses increased $1.3 million, or 9.2%, to $15.4 million for the first nine months of 2015 as compared to the same period last year. The increase for the first nine months of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, was largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $998 thousand, furniture and equipment expenses of $269 thousand, other expenses of $230 thousand and expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate of $203 thousand, which were partially offset by decreases in FDIC fees of $166 thousand, loan collection costs of $124 thousand and data processing of $110 thousand.

The increases for the third quarter and nine month periods for 2015 as compared to 2014 in salaries and employee benefits expense were due in part to an increase in personnel to support our growth initiative in new markets, including the opening of our Astoria branch in the first quarter of 2015, additional staffing for business development and a temporary increase in staffing costs related to the development of a digital banking division. The increases for the third quarter and nine month periods for 2015 as compared to 2014 in furniture and equipment expenses were mostly related to costs associated with our new core application system, which was implemented in the third quarter of 2014.

Financial Condition

At September 30, 2015, the Company's total assets were $644.0 million, an increase of $48.1 million, or 8.1%, as compared to total assets of $595.9 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in total assets was largely driven by growth in loan receivable of $29.2 million, or 6.3% and the securities portfolio of $16.6 million, or 19.7%. 

Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $29.2 million, or 6.2%, to $501.2 million at September 30, 2015, as compared to $472.0 million at December 31, 2014. During the first nine months of 2015, the Company had $102.7 million in commercial loan production, which was largely offset by $27.4 million in commercial loan prepayments, an increase in commercial line of credit pay downs and the sale of $18.3 million in commercial loan participations to mitigate concentration risk. During the third quarter of 2015, total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $22.1 million, or 18.5% annualized, to $501.2 million at September 30, 2015, as compared to $479.1 million at June 30, 2015. 

The Company's total deposits increased $44.2 million, or 9.7%, to $502.5 million at September 30, 2015, from $458.3 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in deposits was due to increases in both non-interest bearing deposits of $28.8 million, or 40.9%, and interest bearing deposits of $15.4 million, or 4.0%, for September 30, 2015, as compared to December 31, 2014. Included in the aforementioned increase is $21.9 million in new deposits with a cost of under 0.50% attributed to our newest branch in Astoria, New York, which opened in mid-March of 2015. During the third quarter of 2015, total deposits increased $14.8 million, or 12.0% annualized, to $502.5 million at September 30, 2015, as compared to $487.7 million at June 30, 2015 and was largely attributed to growth in non-interest bearing deposits.

At September 30, 2015, the Company's total stockholders' equity was $53.1 million, an increase of $1.9 million when compared to December 31, 2014. The increase was largely due to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, the leverage, Tier I risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and common equity Tier I capital ratios for the Bank were 9.82%, 12.39%, 13.52% and 12.39%, respectively, all in excess of the ratios required to be deemed "well-capitalized."

Asset and Credit Quality

The ratio of NPAs, which include non-accrual loans, loans 90 days past due and still accruing, troubled debt restructured loans currently performing in accordance with renegotiated terms and foreclosed real estate, to total assets improved to 1.64% at September 30, 2015 from 2.02% at December 31, 2014. NPAs decreased $1.5 million, or 12.2%, to $10.6 million at September 30, 2015, as compared to $12.0 million at December 31, 2014. Non-accrual loans decreased $242 thousand, or 4.1%, to $5.7 million at September 30, 2015, as compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2014. The top five non-accrual loan relationships total $3.4 million, which equates to 59.9% of total non-accrual loans and 32.1% of total NPAs at September 30, 2015. The remaining non-accrual loans at September 30, 2015 have an average loan balance of $91 thousand. Loans past due 30 to 89 days decreased $3.2 million, or 56.8%, to $2.4 million at September 30, 2015, as compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2014. 

The Company continues to actively market its foreclosed real estate properties, which decreased $1.1 million to $3.3 million at September 30, 2015, as compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of $2.0 million in foreclosed real estate properties and write-downs of $314 thousand during 2015, which were partially offset by $1.2 million in new foreclosed real estate properties. At September 30, 2015, the Company's foreclosed real estate properties had an average carrying value of approximately $278 thousand per property.

The allowance for loan losses remained flat at $5.6 million, or 1.13% of total loans, at September 30, 2015, compared to $5.6 million, or 1.20% of total loans, at December 31, 2014. The Company recorded $506 thousand in provision for loan losses, which was partially offset by $506 thousand in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans increased to 99.3% at September 30, 2015 from 95.2% at December 31, 2014.
