“Considering all the noise in the market the last two quarters, we are proud to maintain our net interest margin at 4.30% and to meet the earnings per share target of $0.42,” said John Allison, Chairman. “We think stability and good asset quality are important and outweigh the need for fast growth,” Allison continued.

“Centennial Community Banking saw improvement in its net interest margin for the 1st quarter with 4.20%, up from 4.18% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Our core banking footprint remained steady during the recent chaos in the economy,” said Tracy French, Centennial Bank President and Chief Executive Officer.

“With an increase in return on average assets, return on tangible common equity and meeting our EPS target, Home BancShares delivered another good solid quarter for our shareholders,” said Randy Sims, Home BancShares, Inc. Chief Executive Officer.

Operating Highlights

Our net interest margin was 4.30% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The yield on loans was 6.03% and 5.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, as average loans increased from $10.88 billion to $11.04 billion. The rate on subordinated debentures increased from 5.61% as of December 31, 2018 to 5.78% as of March 31, 2019.  Since the interest expense on our subordinated debentures is on the 30/360 accrual method, the increase was primarily due to having two less days in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, plus the increase in the floating rates on our trust preferred securities.  Additionally, the rate on interest bearing deposits increased to 1.34% as of March 31, 2019 from 1.22% as of December 31, 2018, with average balances of $8.50 billion and $8.20 billion, respectively.  The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 remained flat when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2018 as the result of an increase in average interest earning assets and yield on interest earning assets, which was offset by an increase in interest bearing liabilities and yield on interest bearing liabilities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we recognized $9.1 million and $9.4 million, respectively, in total net accretion for acquired loans and deposits.  Purchase accounting accretion on acquired loans was $9.0 million and $9.4 million and average purchase accounting loan discounts were $131.6 million and $141.2 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  Net accretion of time deposit premiums was $30,198 and $48,777 and net average remaining CD premiums were $357,000 and $396,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. 

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased $857,000, or 0.60%, to $140.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, from $141.7 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2018.  This decrease in net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was the result of a $2.5 million increase in interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in interest income.  The $2.5 million increase in interest expense was primarily the result of a $2.8 million increase in interest expense on interest bearing deposits repricing in a higher interest rate environment, combined with a 3.7% increase in average interest-bearing deposits. The repricing of our interest-bearing liabilities in a higher interest rate environment resulted in an approximately $2.6 million increase in interest expense. The higher level of our interest-bearing liabilities resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $578,000.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $648,000 in interest expense due to there being two less days in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The $1.7 million increase in interest income was primarily the result of a 1.6% increase in interest earning assets. The higher level of earning assets resulted in an increase in interest income of approximately $2.6 million and a $2.7 million increase in earning asset yields.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $3.6 million in interest income due to there being two less days in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. 

Centennial CFG net interest margin was 5.34% for the quarter just ended compared to 5.50% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Centennial CFG net interest margin for the first quarter of 2019 includes average interest earning assets of $1.55 billion and net interest income of $20.4 million, compared to average interest earning assets of $1.46 billion and net interest income of $20.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. During 2018, Centennial CFG recognized $7.2 million of interest income from payoff events including minimum interest, default interest, acceleration of deferred origination fees and acceleration of other discounts.  Centennial CFG interest income events of approximately $1.0 million, $2.1 million, $4.0 million and $100,000 were recognized during the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2018, respectively.  These interest income events impacted the Company’s net interest margin by 3, 6, 12 and 0 basis points for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2018, respectively.  During the first quarter of 2019, Centennial CFG had no interest income events as a result of payoffs.

Centennial Community Banking (excluding Centennial CFG and Shore Premier Finance) net interest margin was 4.20% for the quarter just ended compared to 4.18% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2019 includes average interest earning assets of $11.31 billion and net interest income of $117.2 million, compared to average interest earning assets of $11.23 billion and net interest income of $118.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. 

The acquisition of Shore Premier Finance is dilutive to our consolidated net interest margin by 3 basis points.

During the first quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company did not record a provision for loan loss.  The Company continues to see strong asset quality.  Non-performing loans to total loans was 0.58% as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and non-performing assets to total assets was 0.52% as of March 31, 2019 compared to 0.51% as of December 31, 2018. For the first quarter of 2019, net charge-offs were $2.4 million compared to net charge-offs of $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

The Company reported $23.7 million of non-interest income for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $23.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The most important components of the first quarter non-interest income were $6.6 million from other service charges and fees, $6.4 million from service charges on deposits accounts, $2.4 million from mortgage lending income, $2.5 million from other income and $3.5 million from dividends from the FHLB, FRB, FNBB & other equity investments.  During the first quarter of 2019, the Company received a $2.1 million special dividend from an equity investment. This special dividend was related to a significant income realization event generated in the first quarter of 2019 from one of the underlying assets in the equity investment. The Company exceeded $10 billion in assets during the first quarter of 2017 and became subject to the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act interchange fee restrictions beginning in the third quarter of 2018. The Durbin Amendment negatively impacted debit card and ATM fees beginning in the second half of 2018. The Company estimates quarterly interchange fees are approximately $3.0 million dollars lower as a result of the Durbin Amendment.

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2019 was $69.1 million compared to $71.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.  During the first quarter of 2019, the company incurred $900,000 in expense related to an outsourced special project. The Company also incurred $897,000 in hurricane expense associated with Hurricane Michael which made landfall in Mexico Beach, Florida on October 10, 2018. For the first quarter of 2019, our efficiency ratio was 41.01% compared to 42.18% reported for the fourth quarter of 2018. 

Financial Condition

Total loans receivable were $10.98 billion at March 31, 2019 compared to $11.07 billion at December 31, 2018.  Total deposits were $11.07 billion at March 31, 2019 compared to $10.90 billion at December 31, 2018.  Total assets were $15.18 billion at March 31, 2019 compared to $15.30 billion at December 31, 2018.

Centennial CFG experienced $25.1 million of organic loan decline and had loans of $1.52 billion at March 31, 2019.   Additionally, Shore Premier Finance experienced $8.5 million of loan growth and had loans of $436.2 million at March 31, 2019.

Non-performing loans at March 31, 2019 were $17.7 million, $40.0 million, $3.0 million, $3.5 million and zero in the Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, Shore Premier Finance and Centennial CFG markets, respectively, for a total of $64.2 million.  Non-performing assets at March 31, 2019 were $24.9 million, $48.2 million, $3.0 million, $3.5 million and zero in the Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, Shore Premier Finance and Centennial CFG markets, respectively, for a total of $79.6 million.

As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was 165.7% and 169.4% of its total non-performing loans, respectively.

Stockholders’ equity was $2.36 billion at March 31, 2019 compared to $2.35 billion at December 31, 2018, an increase of $11.6 million. The increase in stockholders’ equity is primarily associated with the $51.0 million increase in retained earnings, $9.5 million decrease in comprehensive loss and the repurchase of $51.7 million of our common stock during the first quarter of 2019.  Book value per common share was $14.04 at March 31, 2019 compared to $13.76 at December 31, 2018.  Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $8.10 at March 31, 2019 compared to $7.90 at December 31, 2018, an annualized increase of 10.3%.

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 net income (earnings), as adjusted; diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted; return on average assets, as adjusted; return on average common equity, as adjusted; return on average tangible common equity; return on average tangible common equity, as adjusted; efficiency ratio, as adjusted and tangible book value per common share--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 items or 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 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.
