HOUSTON, April 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:GNBC), the bank holding company (“Green Bancorp” or the “Company”) that operates Green Bank, N.A.

Manny Mehos, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Green Bancorp, said, "The MARS initiative is behind us and we can now turn our focus to growing the earnings power of the bank, clear signs of which can be seen in our first quarter results. Our credit quality showed strong improvement in the quarter, provision expense is quickly returning to more normalized levels, and we are poised to return to loan growth through the remainder of the year. We are finally back to the business of banking.”
Geoff Greenwade, President of Green Bancorp and Chief Executive Officer of Green Bank, commented, “I am very pleased with our first quarter results and the outlook for the balance of 2017. The Houston economy has weathered the oil downturn well, while the Dallas economy has remained robust and is a focus for growth as we look to balance our business between these two major markets. Additionally, we have had strong success growing our noninterest income which has been a priority of the bank.”
Results of Operations - Quarter Ended March 31, 2017 compared with Quarter Ended December 31, 2016

Net income per diluted common share was $0.19 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared with $0.07 for the fourth quarter of 2016. Returns on average assets and average common equity, each on an annualized basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were 0.73% and 6.71%, respectively. Green Bancorp’s efficiency ratio, which represents noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, was 54.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $6.1 million, which included $6.0 million in reserves on the energy portfolio.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 increased 1.4%, or $459 thousand, to $32.6 million, compared with $32.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the full quarter impact of the December 2016 rate increase, an increase of $1.4 million, or 124.4%, in interest earned on securities due to a $255.7 million, or 80.8%, increase in the average balance and a 0.38% increase in the average yield, offset by an increase of $585 thousand in interest expense on subordinated debentures and notes due to the full quarter of expense for the debt issued on December 8, 2016 and two fewer days in the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 of 3.47% increased from 3.40% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The improvement in net interest margin was due to the factors discussed above.
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $5.5 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 153.5%, from $2.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in gain on sale of guaranteed portion of loans due to timing of loan sales, a $1.3 million decrease in loss on sale of held for sale loans and a $511 thousand increase in customer service fees due to continued growth in treasury management service fees.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $20.8 million, a decrease of $114 thousand, or 0.5%, from $21.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in loan-related expenses of $864 thousand and a decrease in ORE expenses of $90 thousand due to the reduction in nonperforming assets, offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits.
The pre-tax earnings impact in the quarter ended March 31, 2017 related to the managed asset reduction strategies was $560 thousand, which included a $138 thousand loss on the sale of energy loans held for sale and $422 thousand in expenses related to ORE and legal, administrative and other loan expenses. This amount is reduced from $2.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2016, which included a $1.4 million loss on the sale of energy loans held for sale and $1.5 million in loan and ORE expenses.

The decrease is primarily due to a $47.8 million decrease in construction, land and land development loans, a $19.1 million decrease in energy loans, $16.8 million in reductions of mortgage warehouse balances and a $14.7 million reduction in commercial real estate loans. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company resolved $25.7 million in energy-related loans, which included $6.6 million in loans held for sale. At March 31, 2017, energy loans totaled $76.3 million, or 2.5% of total loans, excluding loans held for sale.
Loans held for sale at March 31, 2017 were $17.4 million, a decrease of $6.6 million, or 27.7%, compared with $24.0 million at December 31, 2016. The loans held for sale are energy loans and the reduction from the prior quarter is due to sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, securities increased $279.3 million, or 90.1%, due to the purchase of $298.4 million in securities, which utilized excess cash. Premises and equipment increased $4.9 million, or 19.2%, primarily due to the March 2017 receipt of title by Green Bank for an office building that is being held for future use as an operations center.
Deposits at March 31, 2017 were $3.4 billion, an increase of $41.4 million, or 1.2%, compared with December 31, 2016, comprised of increases of $55.4 million in noninterest-bearing deposits and $45.8 million in interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits, offset by a $59.8 million decrease in time deposits.

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.
The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total shareholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets and presents our tangible common equity to tangible assets:

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. Return on average tangible common equity is a non‑GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) average tangible common equity as average shareholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) net income less the effect of intangible assets as net income plus amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes; and (c) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by average tangible common equity (as described in clause (b)). For return on average tangible common equity, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average equity.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the return on common equity, exclusive of the impact of intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets, including core deposit intangibles, have the effect of increasing total shareholders’ equity, while not increasing our tangible common equity. This measure is particularly relevant to acquisitive institutions who may have higher balances in goodwill and other intangible assets than non-acquisitive institutions.

Allowance for Loan Losses less Allowance for Loan Losses on Acquired Loans to Total Loans excluding Acquired Loans. The allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans 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 allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans as allowance for loan losses less the allowance for loan losses on acquired loans; (b) total loans excluding acquired loans as total loans less the carrying value of acquired loans accounted for under ASC topics 310-20 and 310-30; and (c) allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans to total loans excluding acquired loans as the allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans (as calculated in clause (a)) divided by total loans excluding acquired loans (as calculated in clause (b)). For allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans 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 less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans 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.

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)). 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 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.

Pre-tax, Pre-provision Return on Average Assets. Pre-tax, pre-provision return on average assets is a non‑GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. We calculate: (a) pre-tax, pre-provision net income as net income (loss) plus provision (benefit) for income taxes, plus provision for loan losses and (b) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by total average assets. For pre-tax, pre-provision net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is net income and for pre-tax, pre-provision return on average assets is return on average assets.
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.
