Sussex Bancorp Announces a 42% Increase in EPS Driven by Loan and Deposit Growth for Fiscal 2015 and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend


ROCKAWAY, N.J., Jan. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sussex Bancorp (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:SBBX), the holding company for Sussex Bank (the “Bank”), today announced a 42.1% increase in net income per diluted common share to $0.81 for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to $0.57 for the same period last year. The improvement for 2015 was driven by an 11.5% increase in net interest income as a result of strong growth in loans and deposits, which increased $71.5 million, or 15.1%, and $59.6 million, or 13.0%, respectively.  Additionally, the improvement in net income per diluted common share also benefited from a 58.6% decline in provision for loan losses, which was in part offset by higher non-interest expenses.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $913 thousand, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $723 thousand, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.  The improvement for the fourth 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).  During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company incurred a one-time $138 thousand pre-tax charge on disposal of computer hardware as part of outsourcing its core system processing, which resulted in a reduction of net income per diluted share of $0.02.

“Growing our business responsibly continues to be our focus.  To that end, I am pleased to report that in the fourth quarter we were able to achieve our strongest business production of the year.  Our commercial loan portfolio grew 10.8% or 43.2% annualized on $50.0 million of gross loan production, our average deposits grew at an annualized rate of 14.5%, predominately in non-interest bearing deposits and our insurance subsidiary had a strong year, increasing their pre-tax income by 33.7%,”  said Anthony Labozzetta, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sussex Bank.  Mr. Labozzetta also stated, “As I recently noted, spreads continue to tighten due in part to the present hyper-competitive environment, nevertheless our strong business line productivity continues to build our net interest income and other income, which enhances our operating leverage and improves our financial performance.”     

In addition, Mr. Labozzetta stated, “In the first quarter of 2016, we will open our next branch in Oradell, NJ.  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.  Furthermore, we are very excited about the advanced business activity surrounding the new location.”

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share, which is payable on February 25, 2016 to common shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 11, 2016. 

Financial Performance
Net Income. For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $913 thousand, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $723 thousand, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.  The increase in net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $582 thousand and a decline in the provision for loan losses of $176 thousand.  The aforementioned were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $433 thousand, which was largely due to a $429 thousand increase in salary and employee benefits associated with an increase in personnel to support our growth initiative in new markets, and a $120 thousand increase in income tax expense.  The decline in non-interest income was due to a one-time $138 thousand pre-tax charge on disposal of computer hardware as part of outsourcing the Company’s core system processing, which resulted in a reduction of net income per diluted share of $0.02. 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $3.7 million, or $0.81 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.57 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.  The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was largely due to an increase in net interest income of $2.1 million, a decline in the provision for loan losses of $901 thousand and higher non-interest income of $492 thousand, which were partially offset by increases in non-interest expenses of $1.7 million and income tax expense of $639 thousand. Part of the increase in pre-tax income was due to Tri-State Insurance Agency, Inc. which increased $169 thousand, or 33.7% to $670 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.   

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $636 thousand, or 13.3%, to $5.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, as compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2014.  The increase in net interest income was largely due to an $85.6 million, or 15.6%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $64.1 million, or 14.0%.  The improvement in net interest income was partly offset by a decline in the net interest margin of 7 basis points to 3.39% for the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The decline in the net interest margin was mostly attributed to a 16 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on loans. 

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $2.1 million, or 11.3%, to $20.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to $18.4 million for the same period in 2014.  The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $66.5 million, or 12.6%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $59.6 million, or 13.9%. The improvement in net interest income was partly offset by a decline in the net interest margin of 4 basis points to 3.45% for the year ended December 31, 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 $176 thousand, or 57.5%, to $130 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2015, as compared to $306 thousand for the same period in 2014.

Provision for loan losses decreased $901 thousand, or 58.6%, to $636 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2014.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $15 thousand, or 1.1%, to $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period last year.  The decrease was largely due to an increase in loss on disposal of fixed assets and decline of gains on securities transactions of $133 thousand and $27 thousand, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.  The decline was partly offset by increases in insurance commissions and fees and other income, which increased $111 thousand and $39 thousand, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. 

The Company reported an increase in non-interest income of $492 thousand, or 8.3%, to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 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 $547 thousand and $166 thousand, respectively, which were partially offset by a decrease in service fees on deposit accounts of $141 thousand and an increase in loss on disposal of fixed assets of $125 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.

Non-interest Expense. The Company’s non-interest expenses increased $433 thousand, or 9.1%, to $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period last year.  The increase for the fourth quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, was largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $429 thousand and in other expenses of $106 thousand, which were partially offset by a decrease in expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate of $100 thousand. 

The Company’s non-interest expenses increased $1.7 million, or 9.2%, to $20.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period last year.  The increase for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, was largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.4 million, other expenses of $336 thousand, furniture and equipment expenses of $136 thousand, occupancy expenses, net of $127 thousand, and expenses and write-downs related to foreclosed real estate of $103 thousand, which were partially offset by decreases in loan collection costs of $173 thousand, FDIC fees of $161 thousand, and data processing of $61 thousand.

The increases for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 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 three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to 2014 in various categories, including occupancy, furniture and equipment, and other expenses were mostly related to the opening of our Astoria branch in the first quarter of 2015 and costs associated with our new core application system, which was implemented in the third quarter of 2014.

Financial Condition
At December 31, 2015, the Company’s total assets were $684.5 million, an increase of $88.6 million, or 14.9%, as compared to total assets of $595.9 million at December 31, 2014.  The increase in total assets was largely driven by growth in loans receivable of $71.5 million, or 15.1% and the securities portfolio of $16.6 million, or 19.8%. 

Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $71.5 million, or 15.1%, to $543.4 million at December 31, 2015, as compared to $472.0 million at December 31, 2014.  During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had $158.1 million in commercial loan production, which was partly offset by $34.4 million in commercial loan prepayments, including 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 fourth quarter of 2015, total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $42.2 million, or 33.7% annualized, to $543.4 million at December 31, 2015, as compared to $501.2 million at September 30, 2015. 

The Company’s total deposits increased $59.6 million, or 13.0%, to $517.9 million at December 31, 2015, from $458.3 million at December 31, 2014.  The increase in deposits was due to increases in both interest bearing deposits of $42.9 million, or 11.1%, and non-interest bearing deposits of $16.7 million, or 23.7%, at December 31, 2015, as compared to December 31, 2014.  Included in the aforementioned increase is $21.4 million in average new deposits with a cost of under 0.55% attributed to our newest branch in Astoria, New York, which opened in mid-March of 2015.  During the fourth quarter of 2015, total deposits increased $15.3 million, or 12.2% annualized, to $517.9 million at December 31, 2015, as compared to $502.5 million at September 30, 2015.

At December 31, 2015, the Company’s total stockholders’ equity was $53.9 million, an increase of $2.7 million when compared to December 31, 2014.  The increase was largely due to net income for the year ended December 31, 2015.  At December 31, 2015, the leverage, Tier I risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and common equity Tier I capital ratios for the Bank were 9.45%, 11.74%, 12.79% and 11.74%, 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 1.49% at December 31, 2015 from 2.02% at December 31, 2014.  NPAs decreased $1.8 million, or 15.2%, to $10.2 million at December 31, 2015, as compared to $12.0 million at December 31, 2014.  Non-accrual loans decreased $613 thousand, or 10.3%, to $5.3 million at December 31, 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 63.8% of total non-accrual loans and 33.1% of total NPAs at December 31, 2015.  The remaining non-accrual loans at December 31, 2015 have an average loan balance of $92 thousand.  Loans past due 30 to 89 days decreased $2.8 million, or 49.9%, to approximately $2.8 million at December 31, 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 $3.4 million at December 31, 2015, as compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2014.  The decrease was primarily due to the sale of $2.2 million in foreclosed real estate properties and write-downs of $314 thousand during 2015, which were partially offset by $1.4 million in new foreclosed real estate properties.  At December 31, 2015, the Company’s foreclosed real estate properties had an average carrying value of approximately $279 thousand per property.

The allowance for loan losses remained flat at $5.6 million, or 1.03% of total loans, at December 31, 2015, compared to $5.6 million, or 1.20% of total loans, at December 31, 2014. The Company recorded $636 thousand in provision for loan losses, which was partially offset by $687 thousand in net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans increased to 105.3% at December 31, 2015 from 95.2% at December 31, 2014.
