ST. LOUIS, Oct. 24, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enterprise Financial Services Corp (NASDAQ:EFSC) (the “Company”) reported net income of $11.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 4%, as compared to the linked second quarter.  Net income per diluted share was $0.59 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $0.02 compared to $0.61 per diluted share for the linked second quarter.  The decrease from the linked quarter primarily resulted from lower contribution from Purchased credit impaired ("PCI) loans.  Third quarter 2016 net income increased 22% from $9.7 million for the prior year period, and diluted earnings per share increased $0.11, or 23%, from $0.48 reported a year ago.  The increase in net income over the prior year was largely due to an increase in net interest income from strong loan growth, and an increase in other noninterest income.

On a core basis1, the Company reported net income of $9.9 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $9.9 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the linked second quarter.  Third quarter 2016 core net income increased 12% from $8.9 million for the prior year period, and diluted core earnings per share grew 11% from $0.44 for the prior year period.  The increase in the year over year results was due to higher levels of net interest income from continued growth in earning asset balances, partially offset by higher provision for portfolio loan losses.  Core net income for the quarter excludes the impact of PCI loan balances in excess of the contractual interest and merger related expenses of $0.3 million. 

On October 10, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Jefferson County Bancshares, Inc. ("JCB") headquartered in Jefferson County, Missouri.  JCB is the parent holding company of Eagle Bank and Trust Company of Missouri.  The transaction is anticipated to close in early 2017, and is subject to normal and customary closing conditions, including but not limited to, regulatory approval and approval by JCB shareholders.  The merger with JCB is expected to accelerate the Company's St. Louis market expansion and add valuable scale and operating leverage to this market.  The Company believes that JCB's commercial and retail customer bases are complementary to EFSC's existing product sets.

The Company's Board of Directors approved the Company’s quarterly dividend of $0.11 per common share, payable on December 30, 2016 to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2016.

Peter Benoist, EFSC’s chief executive officer, commented, “Enterprise’s momentum continued through the third quarter, with reported net income and EPS rising 22% and 23%, respectively, over the prior year period. Profitability measures remain strong with a 1.23% return on average assets and 13.64% return on average tangible common equity for the quarter.”

“Earnings per share from our core banking operations rose 11% from a year ago, driven by a combination of robust loan growth, margin expansion and effective expense management. We’re especially pleased by the broad-based nature of our loan growth, extending across diverse C&I, CRE and specialized lending categories.”

“Third quarter core earnings per share also matched our record-level second quarter performance, despite a higher provision expense. We bumped up the provision to keep pace with our 21% annualized loan growth rate during the quarter and to reflect the shift in one relationship to a nonperforming status. Credit quality measures remain very favorable in all portfolio segments.”

Benoist added, “We are delighted to cap off a successful quarter with a definitive agreement to acquire the $1 billion Jefferson County Bancshares, Inc. and its Eagle Bank and Trust subsidiary.  JCB is a high quality organization that will mesh well with Enterprise, adding a substantial core deposit base and distribution platform to our already strong position in the St. Louis market.  We look forward to welcoming JCB to our team.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income in the third quarter remained stable from the linked second quarter, and increased $3.8 million from the prior year period due to strong growth in portfolio loan balances and increases in net interest margin discussed below.  Net interest margin, on a fully tax equivalent basis, was 3.80% for the third quarter, compared to 3.93% in the linked second quarter, and 3.77% in the third quarter of 2015.

The yield on Portfolio loans improved to 4.25% in the third quarter, an increase of five basis points from the linked second quarter, and nine basis points from the prior year quarter.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in loan fee revenue.  In the third quarter of 2016, the yield on PCI loans was 23.07%, compared to 30.07% in the linked quarter, and 19.41% in the prior year period.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased two basis points to 0.52% in the third quarter of 2016 from 0.50% in the linked second quarter, but was one basis point lower than 0.53% in the third quarter of 2015.  The increase from the linked quarter was due to a shift in the composition of deposits, and the decrease from the prior year period was primarily from lower rates on time deposit balances and a more favorable funding mix.

Core net interest margin1, defined as the net interest margin (fully tax equivalent), including contractual interest on PCI loans but excluding the incremental accretion on these loans, was as follows:

Core net interest income131,534  30,212  29,594  28,667  27,087 
               

Core net interest income1 increased 4% compared to the linked quarter, and 16% compared to the prior year period due to strong portfolio loan growth and improvement in net interest margin.  Core net interest income increased by $1.3 million to $31.5 million when compared to the linked quarter, and Core net interest margin1 increased two basis points to 3.54% primarily from the aforementioned increase in portfolio loan yield.  Core net interest margin expanded 13 basis points from the prior year quarter, primarily due to loan growth improving the earning asset mix, lower funding costs, and the aforementioned increase in the yield on portfolio loans.  The Company continues to manage its balance sheet to grow core net interest income and expects to maintain core net interest margin over the coming quarters; however, pressure on funding costs and continued reductions in PCI loan balances could negate the expected trends in core net interest margin.

Portfolio Loans

Portfolio loans increased to $3.0 billion at September 30, 2016, increasing $154 million, or 21% on an annualized basis, when compared to the linked quarter.  On a year over year basis, portfolio loans increased $436 million, or 17%.  The Company expects continued loan growth in the fourth quarter of 2016, and loan growth, excluding the acquisition of JCB, at or above 10% for 2017.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company grew loans in all categories with the exception of Tax credits and Consumer and other.  Commercial and industrial ("C&I") loans increased $58 million during the third quarter of 2016 over the linked second quarter and represented 53% of the Company's loan portfolio at September 30, 2016.  C&I loans remain the Company's primary focus resulting in growth of $233 million, or 17%, since September 30, 2015.

The Company continues to focus on originating high-quality C&I relationships, as they typically have variable interest rates and allow for cross selling opportunities involving other banking products.  The Company's specialized lending products, particularly enterprise value lending and life insurance premium finance, have contributed to the growth in the C&I category.  C&I loan growth also supports management's efforts to maintain the Company's asset sensitive interest rate risk position.  At September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, 64% of portfolio loans had variable interest rates, as compared to 62% at September 30, 2015.

PCI Loans

PCI loans totaled $47.4 million at September 30, 2016, a decrease of $9.1 million, or 64% on an annualized basis, from the linked second quarter, and $36.3 million, or 43%, from the prior year period, primarily as a result of principal paydowns and accelerated loan payoffs.

PCI loans contributed $2.0 million of net earnings in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $2.8 million in the linked second quarter, and $0.8 million in the prior year period.  At September 30, 2016, the remaining accretable yield on the portfolio was estimated to be $16 million and the non-accretable difference was approximately $21 million.  Accelerated cash flows and other incremental accretion from PCI loans was $2.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, $3.6 million for the linked quarter, $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and $2.9 million for the prior year quarter.  The Company estimates 2016 income from accelerated cash flows and other incremental accretion to be between $10 million and $12 million.

At September 30, 2016, Nonperforming loans were 0.66% of portfolio loans, and Nonperforming assets were 0.59% of total assets.  Nonperforming loans increased 56% to $19.9 million at September 30, 2016, from $12.8 million at June 30, 2016, and increased 119% from $9.1 million at September 30, 2015.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, there was one $10.8 million C&I relationship added to nonperforming loans, $2.1 million of charge-offs, $1.1 million of other principal reductions, and $0.5 million assets transferred to performing.

The Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.23% of loans at September 30, 2016, representing 188% of nonperforming loans, as compared to 1.23% at June 30, 2016, representing 277% of nonperforming loans, and 1.24% at September 30, 2015, representing 354% of nonperforming loans.

The Company reported provision for loan loss of $3.0 million compared to $0.7 million in the linked quarter and $0.6 million in the prior year period.  The provision is reflective of growth in the portfolio, maintaining a prudent credit risk posture, as well as reflecting specific reserves on the single relationship added to Nonperforming loans.  Additionally, we experienced net charge-offs of 14 basis points, annualized, during the quarter for the first time since the third quarter of 2015.  The increase in net charge-offs resulted primarily from one relationship.

Deposits

Total deposits at September 30, 2016 were $3.1 billion, an increase of $96.6 million, or 13% on an annualized basis, from June 30, 2016, and $311 million, or 11%, from September 30, 2015.  Core deposits, defined as total deposits excluding time deposits, were $2.6 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $131 million, or 21% on an annualized basis, from the linked quarter, and $280 million, or 12%, when compared to the prior year period.  The overall positive trends in deposits reflect enhanced deposit gathering efforts in both commercial and business banking.

Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $9.0 million compared to June 30, 2016, and increased $70.4 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015.  The composition of Noninterest-bearing deposits remained relatively stable at 24% of total deposits at September 30, 2016, compared to June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015.  The total cost of deposits increased one basis point to 0.37% compared to 0.36% at June 30, 2016, and declined two basis points since September 30, 2015.

Noninterest Income

Deposit service charges for the third quarter of 2016 of $2.2 million grew 1% when compared to the linked quarter, and grew 8% when compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to growth in customer relationships.  Wealth management revenues for the third quarter of 2016 of $1.7 million grew 3% when compared to the linked second quarter, and decreased $0.1 million, when compared to the prior year period.

Trust assets under management were $930 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $32.6 million, or 4%, when compared to June 30, 2016, and an increase of $81.4 million, or 10%, when compared to the prior year period.  The increase from the linked quarter and the prior year quarter was primarily due to market appreciation.

Gains from state tax credit brokerage activities were $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2016 and for the linked second quarter, and $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2015.  Sales of state tax credits can vary by quarter, but generally occur in the first and fourth quarters of the year depending on client demand and availability of the tax credits.

Other noninterest income increased 27% to $3.0 million compared to the linked quarter, and increased 66% from the prior year period.  The increase from the linked and prior year quarter was primarily due to fees earned from certain recoveries, swap fee income, and fee income from card products.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses were $20.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $21.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, and $19.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.  Core noninterest expenses1 were $20.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $20.4 million for the linked quarter, and $19.3 million for the prior year period.  The decrease from the linked quarter was due to lower employee-related expenses and professional fees.  The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in Employee compensation and benefits from the addition of client service personnel to facilitate growth.

The Company's Core efficiency ratio1 declined to 52.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to 56.3% for the linked quarter, and 58.6% for the prior year period, and reflects overall expense management, in light of enhanced revenue growth trends.   

The Company anticipates total noninterest expenses to be between $19.5 million and $21.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016.

Other Business Results

During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 6,700 common shares at $26.50 per share under its publicly announced plan.  The plan allows for repurchase of up to two million common shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company's currently outstanding shares.

The total risk based capital ratio1 was 12.01% at September 30, 2016, compared to 12.16% at June 30, 2016, and 12.55% at September 30, 2015.  The Company's Common equity tier 1 capital ratio1 was 9.33% at September 30, 2016, compared to 9.38% at June 30, 2016, and 9.59% at September 30, 2015.  The tangible common equity ratio1 was 8.99% at September 30, 2016, versus 9.08% at June 30, 2016, and 8.90% at September 30, 2015.

The decrease in the tangible common equity ratio as compared to the linked quarter is due to asset growth out-pacing earnings growth and a slight decline in the net realized gain on the investment portfolio.  Capital ratios for the current quarter are based on the Basel III regulatory capital framework as applied to the Company’s current businesses and operations, and are subject to, among other things, completion and filing of the Company’s regulatory reports and ongoing regulatory review and implementation guidance.  The attached tables contain a reconciliation of these ratios to U.S. GAAP financial measures.

The Company's effective tax rate was 34.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to 35.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, and 32.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.  The increase over the prior year period resulted from a state income tax benefit from prior year tax refunds recorded in the third quarter of 2015.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures1

The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, the Company provides other financial measures, such as Core net income and net interest margin, and other Core performance measures, regulatory capital ratios, and the tangible common equity ratio, in this release that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures.” Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company considers its Core performance measures presented in this earnings release and the included tables as important measures of financial performance, even though they are non-GAAP measures, as they provide supplemental information by which to evaluate the impact of PCI loans and related income and expenses, the impact of certain non-comparable items, and the Company's operating performance on an ongoing basis.  Core performance measures include contractual interest on PCI loans, but exclude incremental accretion on these loans.  Core performance measures also exclude the Change in FDIC receivable, Gain or loss on sale of other real estate from PCI loans, and expenses directly related to PCI loans and other assets formerly covered under FDIC loss share agreements.  Core performance measures also exclude certain other income and expense items, such as executive separation costs, merger related expenses, and the gain or loss on sale of investment securities, the Company believes to be not indicative of or useful to measure the Company's operating performance on an ongoing basis.  The attached tables contain a reconciliation of these Core performance measures to the GAAP measures.  The Company believes that the tangible common equity ratio provides useful information to investors about the Company's capital strength even though it is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and is not part of the regulatory capital requirements to which the Company is subject.

The Company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance and capital strength. The Company's management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing the Company's operating results and related trends and when forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP.  In the attached tables, the Company has provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures and ratios to the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure for the periods indicated.
