Home BancShares, Inc. Announces Record Net Income of $50.1 Million


CONWAY, Ark., July 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Home BancShares, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOMB), parent company of Centennial Bank, today announced a record quarterly profit of $50.1 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $43.5 million, for the same quarter in 2016.  Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2017 was $0.35 per share compared to $0.31 per share for 2016, representing an increase of $0.04 per share or 12.9% for the second quarter of 2017 when compared to the same quarter in the prior year.  Excluding merger expenses, diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2017 remained $0.35 per share.

“Our second quarter earnings excluding merger expenses are $50.7 million, which is $3.3 million or 7%, higher than the previous record quarterly earnings reported for Home BancShares,” said John Allison, Chairman.  “We are proud of this earnings performance for the second quarter of 2017 reaching an impressive diluted earnings per share excluding merger expenses of $0.35 per share.”

“Now that we have completed the systems conversions for both of the first quarter of 2017 acquisitions, we can speed up the process of improving the financial metrics to maximize returns to our shareholders,” added Tracy French, Centennial Bank President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We are also making preparations for the completion of our acquisition of Stonegate Bank, which is anticipated to close late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to both shareholder and regulatory approvals.”

“We have again, for the twenty-fifth consecutive quarter, reported the most profitable quarter in the Company’s history,” said Randy Sims, Home BancShares, Inc. Chief Executive Officer.  “In addition to the excellent earnings previously mentioned, we are happy to report record net interest income for the second quarter of 2017 plus continued improvement to our non-performing asset portfolio.”

Operating Highlights

Accretion yield increased approximately $850,000 from $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2017 to $8.5 million for second quarter of 2017.  Each quarter we perform credit impairment tests on the loans acquired in our acquisitions.  During our second quarter 2017 impairment testing, several pools were determined to have a material projected credit improvement. The additional accretion income from the recently acquired loan portfolios combined with this projected credit improvement, resulted in a comparable level of scheduled accretion.  The net increase of recognized accretion income when compared to the first quarter of 2017 is primarily due to pay-off accretion increasing from $1.9 million to $2.6 million. 

Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 4.50% for the quarter just ended compared to 4.83% for the same quarter in 2016 and compared to 4.70% for the first quarter of 2017.  The net interest margin, excluding accretion yield decreased when comparing the first quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2017 at 4.32% and 4.11%, respectively.  The decrease in net interest margin is primarily the result of the addition of $300 million of 5.625% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes on April 3, 2017.  The subordinated notes added approximately $4.2 million of interest expense when compared to the prior quarter. Consequently, the addition of the subordinated notes negatively impacted net interest margin by 15 basis points.  Also, the Company made a strategic decision to keep excess cash liquidity on the books during the second quarter of 2017 resulting in a negative impact to the net interest margin of 7 basis points.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a provision for loan loss of $387,000 compared to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2016.  Since the second quarter of 2016 the Company has seen both an improvement in asset quality and a decline in loan growth.  Non-performing loans for the second quarter of 2016 and 2017 were, $59.7 million and $46.9 million, respectively, for an improvement of $12.8 million.  Loan growth was $169.9 million for the second quarter of 2016 while there was a $15.2 million decline in loans for the second quarter of 2017.  For the second quarter of 2017, net charge-offs were $560,000 compared to net charge-offs of $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2016.

The Company reported $24.4 million of non-interest income for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $21.8 million for the second quarter of 2016.  The most important components of the second quarter non-interest income were $8.6 million from other service charges and fees, $6.0 million from service charges on deposits accounts, $3.8 million from mortgage lending income, and $2.8 million from other income.  

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $51.0 million compared to $47.6 million for the second quarter of 2016.  Non-interest expense excluding merger expenses for the second quarter of 2017 was $51.8 million compared to $47.6 million for the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $4.2 million.  This increase excluding merger expenses is primarily the result of an increase in the costs associated with asset growth from the acquisitions in the first quarter of 2017 combined with approximately $664,000 of growth in non-interest expense related to the Centennial Commercial Finance Group (“Centennial CFG”).  For the second quarter of 2017, our core efficiency ratio was 37.29% which has increased from the 36.84% reported for second quarter of 2016.  This increase is primarily the result of our recently completed acquisitions not yet up to our Company’s legacy efficiency metrics. 

Financial Condition

Total loans receivable were $7.83 billion at June 30, 2017 compared to $7.39 billion at December 31, 2016.  Total deposits were $7.77 billion at June 30, 2017 compared to $6.94 billion at December 31, 2016.  Total assets were $10.87 billion at June 30, 2017 compared to $9.81 billion at December 31, 2016.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company acquired $446.3 million of loans, net of purchase accounting discounts. From December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017, the Company produced approximately $525,000 of organic loan growth.  Centennial CFG produced $40.3 million of net organic loan growth during the first six months of 2017 while the legacy footprint experienced significant net payoffs during the first six months of 2017, resulting in a decline of $39.8 million.

From March 31, 2017 to June 30, 2017, the Company experienced an organic decline in loans receivable of approximately $15.2 million.  Centennial CFG produced $67.7 million of organic loan growth during the second quarter of 2017 while the legacy footprint experienced significant payoffs during the second quarter of 2017, resulting in a decline of $82.9 million.  Centennial CFG had loans of $1.15 billion at June 30, 2017.

Non-performing loans at June 30, 2017 were $22.0 million, $24.6 million, $306,000 and zero in the Arkansas, Florida, Alabama and Centennial CFG markets, respectively, for a total of $46.9 million.  Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 0.60% as of June 30, 2017 compared to 0.85% as of December 31, 2016.  Non-performing assets at June 30, 2017 were $33.4 million, $31.3 million, $947,000 and zero in the Arkansas, Florida and Alabama and Centennial CFG markets, respectively, for a total of $65.7 million.  Non-performing assets as a percent of total assets were 0.60% as of June 30, 2017 compared to 0.81% as of December 31, 2016.  

The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $80.1 million at June 30, 2017, or 1.02% of total loans, compared to $80.0 million, or 1.08% of total loans, at December 31, 2016.  This decrease is primarily the result of acquiring $446.3 million of loans during the first quarter of 2017 which do not have an associated allowance for loan losses as a result of purchase accounting.  As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was 171% and 127% of its total non-performing loans, respectively.

Stockholders’ equity was $1.48 billion at June 30, 2017 compared to $1.33 billion at December 31, 2016, an increase of $148.5 million.  Book value per common share was $10.32 at June 30, 2017 compared to $9.45 at December 31, 2016.  Tangible book value per common share was $7.23 at June 30, 2017 compared to $6.63 at December 31, 2016 for an annualized increase of 18.2%. 

Branches

In an effort to achieve efficiencies primarily from our acquisitions, during the second quarter, the Company closed one branch in Sarasota, Florida and two branches in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  During the second quarter of 2017, the Company opened a branch location in Clearwater, Florida and a loan production office in Los Angeles under the management of Centennial CFG.  The Company currently has 76 branches in Arkansas, 64 branches in Florida, 6 branches in Alabama and one branch in New York City.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, including earnings excluding non-fundamental items, return on average assets excluding intangible amortization, return on average assets excluding non-fundamental items, return on average common equity excluding intangible amortization, core efficiency ratio, non-GAAP net interest margin, tangible book value per common share, and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance.  These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax-exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant non-fundamental items or non-recurring transactions.  Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s core business. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.  Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables of this release.
