TINTON FALLS, N.J., April 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Two River Bancorp (Nasdaq:TRCB) (the "Company"), the parent company of Two River Community Bank ("the Bank"), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, highlighted by higher net income and earnings per diluted share along with solid loan and core deposit growth. All share and per share data for all referenced reporting periods have been adjusted for a 5% stock dividend paid on February 28, 2017.

Operating and Financial Highlights

  • First quarter 2017 net income increased 6.4% to $1.80 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, up from $1.69 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the corresponding prior year’s quarter.
  • Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 totaled $1.12 million, an increase of $232,000, or 26.0%, compared to the same period in 2016 as a result of higher mortgage banking revenue.
  • Total loans as of March 31, 2017, net of unearned fees, increased $9.6 million, or 5.1% annualized, from December 31, 2016 to $762.7 million, predominantly due to growth in the commercial real estate sector.
  • Total deposits as of March 31, 2017 were $799.7 million, an increase of $23.1 million from December 31, 2016, largely as a result of a new municipal relationship established in the first quarter of 2017.  
  • Tangible book value per share was $10.05 at March 31, 2017, compared to $9.88 at December 31, 2016, and $9.17 at March 31, 2016.

Management Commentary
William D. Moss, President and CEO, stated, “I am pleased to report that our financial results continue to trend in a positive direction, coupled with the expansion of our loan pipeline. Total loans increased 5.1% on an annualized basis despite the sale of $4.6 million of seasoned portfolio residential adjustable rate mortgages. The performance of our mortgage banking business continues to be a highlight, with revenues increasing by 99.0%, which included a $91,000 gain on the sale of such mortgage loans. In addition, Two River continues to achieve exceptionally strong asset quality, with non-performing loans at the lowest level in over a decade.”

Dividend Information
On April 19, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share, payable May 30, 2017 to shareholders of record as of May 12, 2017, which marks the 17th consecutive quarterly cash dividend paid by the Company to its shareholders.

2017 First Quarter Financial Review

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $1.80 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, as compared to $1.69 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share, for the same period last year, an increase of 6.4%. The increase was due primarily to higher net interest income and non-interest income, which was partially offset by a provision for loan losses compared to none in the prior year period along with higher non-interest expenses.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $7.63 million, an increase of 7.0% compared to $7.13 million in the corresponding prior year period. This was largely due to an increase of $92.7 million, or 11.5%, in average interest earning assets, primarily driven from growth in the Company’s loan portfolio. 

Net Interest Margin

The Company reported a net interest margin of 3.45% for the first quarter of 2017, compared to the 3.43% reported in the fourth quarter of 2016, and 3.57% reported for the first quarter of 2016. The net interest margin improvement of 2 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2016 was a result of slightly higher yielding interest-earning assets. 

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 totaled $1.12 million, an increase of $232,000, or 26.0%, compared to the same period in 2016. This was largely the result of a $212,000, or 99.1%, increase in residential mortgage banking revenue, which included a $91,000 gain from the sale of $4.6 million of adjustable rate mortgages, coupled with higher earnings from bank owned life insurance and gains on the sale of SBA loans. These increases were partially offset by no net realized gain on sale of securities during the period compared to a gain of $72,000 in the prior year period.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 totaled $5.78 million, an increase of $380,000, or 7.0%, compared to the same period in 2016, largely due to higher salaries and benefits resulting from both annual merit increases along with higher commission payouts on mortgage banking volume generated during the quarter. This was partially offset by lower loan workout expenses.

Provision / Allowance for Loan Losses

During the quarter, the Company reported a $225,000 provision for loan losses as a result of a partial charge-off representing 50% of a loan that was transferred to non-accrual status during the first quarter. This compared to no provision for loan losses in the prior year period. The Company had $223,000 in net loan charge-offs during the quarter, compared to $250,000 in net loan recoveries in the same period last year.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company's allowance for loan losses remained flat at $9.57 million compared to December 31, 2016. The loss allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.25% at March 31, 2017 compared to 1.27% at December 31, 2016.

Financial Condition / Balance Sheet
At March 31, 2017, the Company maintained capital ratios that were in excess of regulatory standards for well-capitalized institutions. The Company's Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio was 8.96%, its common equity Tier 1 to risk weighted assets ratio was 10.31%, its Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio was 10.31%, and its total capital to risk weighted assets ratio was 12.70%.

Total assets as of March 31, 2017 were $967.1 million, compared to $940.2 million as of December 31, 2016.

Total loans as of March 31, 2017 were $762.7 million, compared to $753.1 million reported at December 31, 2016.

Total deposits as of March 31, 2017 were $799.7 million, compared to $776.6 million as of December 31, 2016.  Core checking deposits at March 31, 2017 increased to $344.5 million, up $31.6 million, or 10.1%, from year-end, primarily due to a new municipal relationship. The Company continues to focus on building core checking account deposit relationships.

Asset Quality

The Company's non-performing assets at March 31, 2017 decreased to $1.77 million as compared to $1.81 million at December 31, 2016 and $1.98 million at March 31, 2016. Non-performing assets to total assets at March 31, 2017 declined to 0.18%, compared to 0.19% at December 31, 2016, and 0.22% at March 31, 2016.

Non-accrual loans decreased to $1.51 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $1.55 million at December 31, 2016 and $1.72 million at March 31, 2016. OREO was $259,000 at March 31, 2017, unchanged from December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016.

Troubled debt restructured loan balances amounted to $8.16 million at March 31, 2017, with all but $405,000 performing. This compared to $8.23 million at December 31, 2016 and $9.08 million at March 31, 2016.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
The press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are "book value per common share," "tangible book value per common share," "return on average tangible assets," and "return on average tangible equity." This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance because it believes these measures are material and will be used as a measure of our performance by investors.
