HOUSTON, April 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegiance Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: ABTX) ("Allegiance"), the holding company of Allegiance Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $12.7 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.58 for the first quarter 2019 compared to $7.7 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.57 for the first quarter 2018.  The first quarter 2019 results included $1.2 million of pre-tax acquisition and merger-related expenses.

“2019 has already proven to be a productive year for Allegiance,” said George Martinez, Allegiance’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We successfully completed the integration of Post Oak Bank, including the full rebrand and systems conversion along with the continued cultural integration process; completed the branch acquisition of LoweryBank in Sugar Land; and rebalanced our footprint by consolidating two bank offices. We could not be more proud of our employees for their tireless efforts and commitment to Allegiance Bank. We believe we are well-positioned to support new and existing customers, who now have direct access to all of our comprehensive products and services, with 27 bank offices across the Houston region,” continued Martinez.

“We are pleased with our first quarter results as they reflect our continued focus on relationship banking and our ability to generate loans in a highly competitive environment. We continue to execute on our growth plans and generate solid returns for our shareholders. Our focus remains on attracting the best bankers in our markets to support organic growth. We hired 6 loan and deposit producers thus far in 2019 and anticipate that our bankers will continue to earn the trust of great customers and our shareholders will continue to reap the rewards. We are off to a strong start and look forward to another successful year,” concluded Martinez.

First Quarter 2019 Results

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses in the first quarter 2019 increased $17.7 million, or 65.9%, to $44.6 million from $26.9 million for the first quarter 2018 primarily due to a $1.59 billion, or 60.6%, increase in average interest-earning assets for the same period primarily due to the Post Oak Bancshares, Inc. acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2018 as well as organic growth for the year over year period.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses of $44.6 million for the first quarter 2019 decreased slightly from $45.8 million in the fourth quarter 2018 primarily due to the increase in interest expense as a result of higher funding costs on interest-bearing liabilities.  The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis increased 11 basis points to 4.31% for the first quarter 2019 from 4.20% for the first quarter 2018 and decreased 14 basis points from 4.45% for the fourth quarter 2018. Excluding the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments, the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the first quarter 2019 would have been 4.03% compared to 4.20% and 4.16% for the first quarter 2018 and fourth quarter 2018, respectively.

Noninterest income for the first quarter 2019 was $3.3 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 99.8%, compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter 2018 and increased $955 thousand, or 40.9%, compared to $2.3 million for the fourth quarter 2018.  Noninterest income for the fourth quarter 2018 included $429 thousand of loss on the sales of other real estate and repossessed assets. 

Noninterest expense for the first quarter 2019 increased $12.4 million, or 66.2%, to $31.1 million from $18.7 million for the first quarter 2018, and increased $2.1 million, or 7.1%, from $29.0 million for the fourth quarter 2018. These increases were primarily due to additional noninterest expenses associated with the Post Oak acquisition, of which $1.2 million was attributable to acquisition and merger-related expenses.

In the first quarter 2019, Allegiance’s efficiency ratio was 64.97% compared to 65.59% for the first quarter 2018 and 60.30% for the fourth quarter 2018.  First quarter 2019 annualized returns on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity were 1.08%, 7.27% and 11.22%, respectively, compared to 1.09%, 10.10% and 11.71%, respectively, for the first quarter 2018.  Annualized returns on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity for the fourth quarter 2018 were 1.12%, 7.49% and 11.66%, respectively.

Financial Condition

Total assets at March 31, 2019 increased $113.6 million, or 2.4%, to $4.77 billion compared to $4.66 billion at December 31, 2018 and increased $1.88 billion, or 65.2%, compared to $2.89 billion at March 31, 2018, primarily due to the Post Oak acquisition and organic loan growth.

Total loans at March 31, 2019 increased $97.9 million, or 10.6% (annualized), to $3.81 billion compared to $3.71 billion at December 31, 2018 and increased $1.52 billion, or 66.2%, compared to $2.29 billion at March 31, 2018, primarily due to loans acquired in the Post Oak acquisition. Core loans, which exclude the mortgage warehouse portfolio, increased $109.4 million, or 3.0%, to $3.77 billion at March 31, 2019 from $3.66 billion at December 31, 2018 and increased $1.52 billion, or 67.6%, from $2.25 billion at March 31, 2018.  Excluding loans acquired from Post Oak of $1.16 billion, core loans at March 31, 2019 increased $360.5 million, from March 31, 2018.

Deposits at March 31, 2019 increased $117.5 million, or 3.2%, to $3.78 billion compared to $3.66 billion at December 31, 2018 and increased $1.50 billion, or 65.4%, compared to $2.28 billion at March 31, 2018, primarily related to the Post Oak acquisition.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $33.8 million, or 0.71% of total assets, at March 31, 2019, compared to $33.6 million, or 0.72%, of total assets, at December 31, 2018, and $14.2 million, or 0.49% of total assets, at March 31, 2018. The allowance for loan losses was 0.71% of total loans at March 31, 2019, 0.71% of total loans at December 31, 2018 and 1.08 % of total loans at March 31, 2018. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans from prior periods reflects the loans acquired in the Post Oak acquisition that were recorded at fair value without an allowance for loan losses at acquisition date.

The provision for loan losses for the first quarter 2019 was $1.0 million, or 0.11% (annualized) of average loans, compared to $3.0 million, 0.32% (annualized), of average loans, for the fourth quarter 2018 and $653 thousand, or 0.12% (annualized) of average loans, for the first quarter 2018.

First quarter 2019 net charge-offs were $210 thousand compared to net charge-offs of $219 thousand for the fourth quarter 2018 and net recoveries of $326 thousand for the first quarter 2018.

Allegiance Bancshares, Inc.
GAAP Reconciliation and Management’s Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Allegiance’s management uses certain non−GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate its performance. Allegiance believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance.  Allegiance believes that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Allegiance’s performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods. Specifically, Allegiance reviews tangible book value per share, return on average tangible equity and the ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Allegiance has included in this Earnings Release information relating to these non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods presented.  These non-GAAP measures 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 Allegiance calculates the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
