HOUSTON, April 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:GNBC), the bank holding company (“Green Bancorp” or the “Company”) that operates Green Bank, N.A. (“Green Bank”), today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company reported net income for the quarter of $1.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $4.6 million or $0.18 per diluted common share reported for the same period in 2015.
Manny Mehos, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Green Bancorp said, “The core earnings power of the bank has grown substantially as a result of the scale and efficiencies that we have achieved through the Patriot acquisition as well as the solid organic growth delivered by our portfolio bankers. That said, our results are clearly being impacted by the challenging energy cycle and the duress that it is causing throughout the oil patch. As a result, we have made the decision to more aggressively remove this uncertainty. We have determined that the prudent course of action is to exit the energy lending business and eliminate our energy loan exposure. To successfully accomplish this goal, we have created a strategic initiative that we are calling the “Managed Asset Reduction Strategy”. With the successful execution of this plan, we expect to substantially reduce the uncertainty in our financial results caused by our energy loan portfolio.”
Geoff Greenwade, President of Green Bancorp and Chief Executive Officer of Green Bank remarked, “Donald Perschbacher, our Corporate Chief Credit Officer, will manage a dedicated team of eight workout professionals whose sole responsibility is the successful management of the Managed Asset Reduction Strategy. This portfolio includes all of our energy related loans as well as other classified assets. The resolution of this portfolio will take place by utilizing proven management and disposition techniques.”
Results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2016
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $1.8 million, compared with $4.6 million for the same period in 2015. Net income per diluted common share was $0.05 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared with $0.18 for the same period in 2015. The decrease in net income was principally due to the increase in provision for loan losses and, to a lesser extent, an increase in noninterest expense offset by increased interest income resulting from growth in loans. Returns on average assets and average common equity, each on an annualized basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were 0.20% and 1.68%, respectively. Green Bancorp’s efficiency ratio, which represents noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, was 50.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of one-time acquisition expenses, returns on average assets and average common equity, each on an annualized basis, would have been 0.22% and 1.91%, respectively, and the efficiency ratio would have been 49.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $34.2 million, an increase of $13.7 million, or 66.8%, compared with $20.5 million during the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to a 75.1% increase in average loan volume largely driven by the Patriot acquisition. The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was 3.87%, compared with 3.93% for the same period in 2015. Average noninterest-bearing deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were $604.3 million, an increase of $173.7 million compared with the same period in 2015, and a decrease of $43.7 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Average shareholders’ equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $440.7 million, an increase of $149.1 million compared with the same period in 2015, and an increase of $11.2 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 decreased 2.2% or $779 thousand, compared with $35.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to a reduction in the accretion of purchase discounts. The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 of 3.87% decreased from 3.92% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. A decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits contributed to the change in the net interest margin.
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $4.2 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 99.3%, compared with $2.1 million for the same period in 2015. This increase was primarily due to a $323 thousand increase in swap income, a $541 thousand increase in customer service fees, a $328 thousand increase in loan fees, a $493 thousand increase in gain on sale of guaranteed portion of loans and a $177 thousand increase in bank owned life insurance income mainly due to the Patriot acquisition. When comparing the quarter ended March 31, 2016 to the quarter ended December 31, 2015, noninterest income decreased $121 thousand, or 2.8%, from $4.3 million. Fourth quarter 2015 noninterest income includes a $772 thousand gain on the sale of securities.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $19.5 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 41.7%, compared with $13.8 million for the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to increases related to ongoing acquired Patriot operations. When comparing the quarter ended March 31, 2016 to the quarter ended December 31, 2015, noninterest expense decreased 9.2%, or $2.0 million, from $21.5 million, primarily due to lower one-time acquisition expenses related to the Patriot acquisition.
Loans held for investment at March 31, 2016 were $3.2 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 75.0%, compared with $1.8 billion at March 31, 2015, primarily due to the Patriot acquisition, which was finalized at the beginning of the fourth quarter 2015 and continued opportunities for our portfolio bankers to generate new loans and expand existing relationships within our target markets. Loans held for investment at March 31, 2016 increased $37.5 million, or 1.2%, from December 31, 2015. Excluding loans acquired in the Patriot acquisition based on the merger date balance, loans at March 31, 2016 increased $276.2 million or 15.3% million from March 31, 2015. Average loans held for investment increased 75.2% or $1.3 billion to $3.1 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared with $1.8 billion for the same period in 2015. Average loans held for investment for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 increased 2.7% or $82.7 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Deposits at March 31, 2016 were $3.1 billion, an increase of $1.1 billion, or 58.2%, compared to March 31, 2015, primarily due to the Patriot acquisition. Deposits at March 31, 2016 decreased $43.7 million or 1.4% from December 31, 2015 due to volatility in commercial deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits at March 31, 2016 were $592.7 million, an increase of $133.6 million, or 29.1%, compared to March 31, 2015 and a decrease of $50.7 million, or 7.9%, compared to December 31, 2015. Average deposits increased 62.2% or $1.2 billion to $3.0 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared with the same period of 2015. Average noninterest bearing deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were $604.3 million, an increase of $173.7 million compared with the same period in 2015, and a decrease of $43.7 million compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets totaled $77.5 million or 2.01% of period end total assets at March 31, 2016, an increase of $63.3 million compared to $14.2 million or 0.63% of period end total assets at March 31, 2015, the increase was due primarily to energy-related migration to nonperforming, and the nonperforming loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure that was acquired through the Patriot acquisition. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2016 increased by $20.3 million compared to $57.2 million or 1.51% of period end total assets at December 31, 2015, the increases were due primarily to energy-related migration to nonperforming and down grade of loans acquired through the Patriot acquisition. Accruing loans classified as troubled debt restructures and included in the nonperforming asset totals were $5.6 million at March 31, 2016, compared with $2.4 million at March 31, 2015 and $6.0 million at December 31, 2015.
The allowance for loan losses was 1.25% of total loans at March 31, 2016, compared with 0.97% of total loans at March 31, 2015 and 1.05% of total loans at December 31, 2015. The increase in the percentage when compared to March 31, 2015 was due primarily to an increase in specific reserves and an increase in general reserves driven by loan growth, increases in classified loans, economic factors and an increase in the Company’s historical loss general reserve factor. At March 31, 2016, the Company’s allowance for loans losses to total loans excluding acquired loans that are accounted for under ASC 310-20 and ASC 310-30 was 1.91%. Further, the allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount to total loans adjusted for acquired loan net discount was 1.96% as of March 31, 2016.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $16.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 up from the $12.5 million provision for the loan losses recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The first quarter provision reflects the addition of specific reserves and an increase in general reserves driven by loan growth, increases in classified loans, economic factors and an increase in the Company’s historical loss general reserve factor.
Net charge offs were $9.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 primarily related to an energy production loan, compared with net charge offs of $277 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, and net loan recoveries of $432 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Managed Asset Reduction Strategy (“MARS”)
The Company has segregated its portfolio of energy loans and certain other classified assets that have been identified for accelerated resolution. The objective of the MARS initiative is to remove the temporary roadblock to execution of the Company’s growth plan due largely to the energy market. A team of eight workout professionals reporting to the Company’s Corporate Chief Credit Officer have been assigned to focus solely on the resolution of the MARS portfolio. The MARS team will take a multifaceted approach to reducing the portfolio through the use of proven management and disposition techniques.

We identify certain financial measures discussed in this release as being “non‑GAAP financial measures.” In accordance with the SEC’s rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non‑GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheet or statements of cash flows. Non‑GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios or statistical measures calculated using exclusively either financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, operating measures or other measures that are not non‑GAAP financial measures or both.
The non‑GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non‑GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures similar or with names similar to the non‑GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this release when comparing such non‑GAAP financial measures.
Tangible Book Value Per Common Share. Tangible book value is a non‑GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (b) tangible book value per common share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by shares of common stock outstanding. For tangible book value, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our book value.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.
The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total shareholders’ equity to tangible common equity and presents our tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share:

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non‑GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by tangible assets (as described in clause (b)). For common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total shareholders’ equity to total assets.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total shareholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.

Allowance for Loan Losses to Total Loans excluding Acquired Loans. The allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding acquired loans is a non‑GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial condition. Due to the application of purchase accounting, we use this non-GAAP ratio that excludes that impact of these items to evaluate our allowance for loan losses to total loans. We calculate: (a) total loans excluding acquired loans as total loans less the fair value of acquired loans accounted for under ASC topics 310-20 and 310-30; and (b) allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding acquired loans as the allowance for loan losses divided by total loans excluding acquired loans (as described in clause (a)). For allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding acquired loans, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is allowance for loan losses to total loans.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding acquired loans. The acquired loans may have a premium or discount associated with them that includes a potential credit loss component with similar characteristics to the allowance for loan losses. This measure reports the allowance for loan loss coverage to only those loans not accounted for pursuant to ASC topics 310-20 and 310-30 which may assist the investor in evaluating the allowance coverage of loans excluding acquired loans.
The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding acquired loans:

Allowance for Loan Losses plus Acquired Loan Net Discount to Total Loans adjusted for Acquired Loan Net Discount. Allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount to total loans adjusted for acquired loan net discount is a non‑GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial condition. We calculate: (a) allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount as allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount, net of accumulated amortization; (b) total loans adjusted for acquired loan net discount as total loans plus acquired loan net discount, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount to total loans adjusted for acquired loan net discount as allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount (as calculated in clause (a)) divided by total loans adjusted for acquired loan net discount (as calculated in clause (b)).
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in the allowance for loan losses plus the acquired loan net discount to total loans adjusted for the acquired loan net discount. This measure reports the combined allowance for loan loss and acquired loan net discount (or premium) as a percentage of loans inclusive of the acquired loan net discount (or premium) which may assist the investor in evaluating allowance coverage on loans inclusive of additional discount or premium resulting from purchase accounting adjustments.

Selected Metrics Excluding One-time Acquisition Expenses. The selected metrics excluding one-time acquisition expenses are non‑GAAP measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s performance. We calculate: (a) noninterest expense excluding one-time acquisition expenses as total noninterest expense less the one-time acquisition expenses; (b) net income excluding one-time acquisition expenses as net income plus one-time acquisition expenses, net of taxes; (c) diluted earnings per share excluding one-time acquisition expenses as net income excluding one-time acquisition expenses (as calculated in clause (b)) divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding; (d) return on average assets excluding one-time acquisition expenses as net income excluding one-time acquisition expenses (as calculated in clause (b)) divided by average total assets; (e) return on average equity excluding one-time acquisition expenses as net income excluding one-time acquisition expenses (as calculated in clause (b)) divided by average total shareholders’ equity; and (f) efficiency ratio excluding one-time acquisition expenses as noninterest expense excluding one-time acquisition expenses (as calculated in clause (a)) divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. For noninterest expense excluding one-time acquisition expenses, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is noninterest expense. For net income excluding one-time acquisition expenses, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is net income. For diluted earnings per share excluding one-time acquisition expenses, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is diluted earnings per share. For return on average assets excluding one-time acquisition expenses, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average assets. For return on average equity excluding one-time acquisition expenses, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average equity. For the efficiency ratio excluding one-time acquisition expenses, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is the efficiency ratio.
We believe that these measures are important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in noninterest expense, net income, diluted earnings per share, return on average assets, return on average equity and efficiency ratio with the exclusion of one-time acquisition expenses.

Pre-tax, Pre-provision Adjusted Net Income. Pre-tax, pre-provision adjusted net income is a non‑GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial condition. We calculate pre-tax, pre-provision adjusted net income as net income plus provision for income taxes, plus provision for loan losses, plus one-time acquisition expenses. For pre-tax, pre-provision adjusted net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is net income.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in understanding the operating performance of the company before provision for loan losses, which can vary from quarter to quarter, and income taxes.
