OceanFirst Financial Corp. Announces First Quarter Financial Results


TOMS RIVER, N.J., April 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OceanFirst Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:OCFC), (the "Company"), the holding company for OceanFirst Bank (the "Bank"), today announced that diluted earnings per share was $0.25 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $0.32 for the corresponding prior year quarter.  

The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 included non-recurring merger related expenses which decreased net income, net of tax benefit, by $1.2 million.  Excluding this item, core earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were $5.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share.  (Please refer to Non-GAAP Reconciliation table at the end of this document for details on the earnings impact of non-recurring merger related expenses.) 

Highlights for the quarter are described below.

  • Commercial loans outstanding increased $23.6 million, an annualized growth rate of 9.8%.  Growth was adversely affected by cyclical payoffs, however, the loan pipeline remains strong.  Total loan originations for the first quarter amounted to $103.3 million.
  • Deposit growth totaled $54.7 million, including $42.7 million of core deposits (all deposits except time deposits).  Deposit growth includes $17.0 million of deposits acquired on March 11, 2016 through the purchase of an existing retail branch located in the Toms River market.
  • On March 28, 2016 the Company received regulatory approval for the acquisition of Cape Bancorp, Inc. after the Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger on January 5, 2016.  Pending stockholder approvals, the Company expects to close the transaction ahead of schedule on May 2, 2016 and anticipates full integration of Cape’s 22 branches in October 2016.

Chief Executive Officer and President Christopher D. Maher commented, "The Company delivered another quarter of solid earnings, driven by net interest income that was 13.4% higher than the prior year period.  Revenue growth offset the incremental investment in five new retail branches acquired or opened during the past year."  Mr. Maher added; "The investment in deposit gathering capabilities has supported our strategy of funding loan growth with high quality, core deposits as deposits grew faster than loans during the first quarter."

The Company also announced that the Board of Directors declared its seventy-seventh consecutive quarterly cash dividend on common stock.  The dividend for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 of $0.13 per share will be paid on May 20, 2016 to stockholders of record on May 9, 2016.

Results of Operations

On July 31, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of Colonial American Bank ("Colonial"), which added $142.4 million to assets, $121.2 million to loans, and $123.3 million to deposits.  Colonial’s results of operations are included in the consolidated results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 but are excluded from the results of operation for the corresponding prior year period.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $4.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $5.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the corresponding prior year period.  Excluding the non-recurring merger related expenses, diluted earnings per share were equal to the prior year period as higher net interest income was offset by higher operating expenses and provision for loan losses, and lower other income.  Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 included a loss of $279,000 attributable to the operations of a hotel, golf and banquet facility acquired in the fourth quarter of 2015 as other real estate owned.  Excluding merger related expense, diluted earnings per share decreased $0.01 from the prior linked quarter primarily due to the loss incurred operating other real estate owned.

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 increased to $20.6 million as compared to $18.1 million for the same prior year period, reflecting an increase in interest-earning assets and a higher net interest margin.  Average interest-earning assets increased $234.3 million for the quarter as compared to the same prior year period.  The current quarter was favorably impacted by the interest-earning assets acquired from Colonial, which averaged $107.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.  Average loans receivable, net, increased $278.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the same prior year period.  The increase attributable to Colonial was $101.5 million for the quarter.  The net interest margin increased to 3.32% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared 3.24% for the same prior year period.  The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 3.73% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to 3.60% for the same prior year period.  The yield on average interest-earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 benefited from the growth in higher-yielding average loans receivable and the reduction in lower-yielding average securities. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.50% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to 0.45% in the prior year period. In anticipation of an eventual rise in interest rates, the Company has extended its borrowed funds into higher-costing, longer-term maturities and has opportunistically grown higher-cost, longer-term certificates of deposit.  Since December 31, 2013, the Bank has extended $206.9 million of short-term funding into 3-5 year maturities, extending the weighted average maturity of term borrowings from 1.3 years to 2.9 years at March 31, 2016.  The total cost of deposits (including non-interest bearing deposits) was 0.26% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to 0.21% for the prior year period.

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 decreased $129,000, as compared to the prior linked quarter, as the net interest margin decreased to 3.32% from 3.37%.  The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 3.73% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, from 3.77% for the prior linked quarter, while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities remained at 0.50% for both periods.  Loan fees, included in net interest income, declined $174,000 from the prior linked quarter.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the provision for loan losses was $563,000, as compared to $375,000, for the corresponding prior year period.  Net charge-offs increased to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to net charge-offs of $273,000 in the corresponding prior year period and $217,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.  Two non-performing commercial loans accounted for $886,000 of the total net charge-off.  Non-performing loans decreased by $2.1 million at March 31, 2016, as compared to December 31, 2015.   

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, other income decreased to $3.4 million, as compared to $4.0 million in the same prior year period.  The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher net losses from other real estate operations of $427,000, as compared to the prior year.  The loss is predominately due to the seasonal operations of the hotel, golf and banquet facility acquired as other real estate owned in the fourth quarter of 2015.  The Bank is in the process of finalizing a sale agreement with a qualified buyer with an expected mid-year closing.  Fees and service charges declined $72,000 from the prior year due to the sector wide impact of the consumer shift away from deposit overdrafts.  The 2015 results included a gain on sale of loan servicing of $81,000.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, other income decreased $742,000, as compared to the prior linked quarter.  The decrease was related to a higher net loss on other real estate operations of $368,000 and a reduction in fees and service charges of $265,000.

Operating expenses increased to $16.7 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $13.7 million in the same prior year period.  Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 include $1.4 million in non-recurring merger related expenses relating to the pending acquisition of Cape.  Excluding merger related expenses, the increase in operating expenses over the prior year was primarily due to the operations of Colonial, $448,000; the investment in commercial lending, $441,000; and the impact of the new branches, $331,000. 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, operating expenses decreased $571,000, as compared to the prior linked quarter, excluding merger related expenses.  The decrease was primarily due to lower equipment, marketing and data processing expenses. 

The provision for income taxes was $2.5 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $2.7 million for the same prior year period.  The effective tax rate was 36.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 as compared to 34.3%, for the same prior year period and 34.7% in the prior linked quarter.  The increases in the effective tax rate over the prior periods were primarily due to non-deductible merger related expenses.

Financial Condition

Total assets decreased by $4.6 million to $2,588.4 million at March 31, 2016, from $2,593.1 million at December 31, 2015.  Loans receivable, net, increased by $26.3 million, to $1,997.0 million at March 31, 2016, from $1,970.7 million at December 31, 2015 and included the purchase of a pool of performing, locally originated, one-to-four family, non-conforming mortgage loans for $12.8 million.  The increase in loans receivable, net, was partly offset by a decrease in total securities of $19.0 million.  As part of the acquisition of Colonial and the Toms River branch, the Company has outstanding goodwill and core deposit intangible at March 31, 2016 of $2.1 million and $310,000, respectively.

Deposits increased by $54.7 million, to $1,971.4 million at March 31, 2016, from $1,916.7 million at December 31, 2015.  Business deposits increased $23.9 million demonstrating the value of relationship based lending.  The loan-to-deposit ratio at March 31, 2016 was 101.3%, as compared to 102.8% at December 31, 2015.  The deposit growth partly funded a decrease in FHLB advances of $72.5 million, to $251.9 million at March 31, 2016, from $324.4 million at December 31, 2015. 

Stockholders' equity increased to $241.1 million at March 31, 2016, as compared to $238.4 million at December 31, 2015.  At March 31, 2016, there were 244,804 shares available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program adopted in July of 2014.  Tangible stockholders’ equity per common share was $13.75 at March 31, 2016, as compared to $13.67 at December 31, 2015.

Asset Quality

The Company's non-performing loans totaled $16.2 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $18.3 million at December 31, 2015 and $19.4 million at March 31, 2015.  Non-performing loans do not include $376,000 of purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans acquired from Colonial.  The Company’s other real estate owned totaled $9.0 million at March 31, 2016, as compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2015.  The amount includes $7.0 million relating to the hotel, golf and banquet facility located in New Jersey which the Company acquired in the fourth quarter of 2015.  At March 31, 2016, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was 0.80% of total loans, a decrease from 0.84% at December 31, 2015.  These ratios exclude an allowance on the Colonial loans which were acquired at fair value.  The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total non-performing loans was 100.13% at March 31, 2016 as compared to 91.51% at December 31, 2015.
