SUMMARY:

  • Net income for the third quarter of 2017 increased 23.8% to $8.2 million or $0.36 diluted earnings per share compared to $6.6 million or $0.30 diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2016.

We are extremely proud of the incredible work ethic of Horizon’s employees who day in and day out give their best effort to move the Company forward.”

Dwight continued, “Total loans, excluding acquired loans, loans held for sale and mortgage warehouse loans, increased $52.0 million during the third quarter of 2017 and $192.4 million during the first nine months of 2017 and was primarily due to increases in commercial and consumer loans. Our growth markets of Fort Wayne, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis and Kalamazoo, combined to produce total loan growth of $37.0 million during the third quarter of 2017 and $120.1 million during the first nine months of 2017. As a result of this growth, commercial loans increased at an annualized rate of 11.1% during the third quarter and 12.9% for the first nine months. Consumer loans have increased at an annualized rate of 26.4% during the third quarter and 20.4% for the first nine months of 2017. Horizon’s addition of a seasoned consumer loan portfolio manager during the third quarter of 2016 and an increased focus on the management of direct consumer loans are the main drivers for the increase. Finally, loans acquired in our recent acquisition of Lafayette increased Horizon’s total loans by $134.4 million during the third quarter of 2017.”

Mr. Dwight stated, “Our core net interest margin for the third quarter of 2017 decreased to 3.63% compared to 3.71% for the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to a decrease in loan yields and an increase in interest-bearing liabilities. When comparing the third quarter of 2017 to the same period of 2016, our core net interest margin increased to 32 basis points. Horizon’s core net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased 29 basis points to 3.65% when compared to the same period in 2016.”

On September 1, 2017, Horizon closed the acquisition of Lafayette and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lafayette Community Bank, in a cash and stock merger. The four full-service locations of the former Lafayette Community Bank serve Tippecanoe County, Indiana. As of September 1, 2017, Lafayette had total assets of $171.4 million.

On October 17, 2017, Horizon closed the acquisition of Wolverine and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wolverine Bank, in a cash and stock merger. The former Wolverine Bank locations serve Midland and Saginaw Counties, Michigan through three full-service locations and Troy, Michigan in Oakland County through one loan production office. As of June 30, 2017, Wolverine had total assets of $385.9 million.

Mr. Dwight concluded, “We are pleased to finalize the acquisitions of Lafayette and Wolverine over the last two months. Our systems integration of Lafayette was completed during the month of September and was another smooth integration. We believe the same will be true for our systems integration of Wolverine that we expect to complete in November. With the addition of the experienced and talented teams from Lafayette and Wolverine, we believe Horizon is positioned well to seize upon each markets growth opportunities.”    

Income Statement Highlights

Net income for the third quarter of 2017 was $8.2 million or $0.36 diluted earnings per share compared to $9.1 million or $0.41 diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in net income and diluted earnings per share from the previous quarter reflects increases in non-interest expense and provision for loan losses of $2.0 million and $380,000, respectively, offset by an increase in net interest income of $681,000 and a decrease in income tax expense of $1.0 million.

Net income for the third quarter of 2017 was $8.2 million or $0.36 diluted earnings per share compared to $6.6 million or $0.30 diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2016.  The increase in net income and diluted earnings per share from the same period of 2016 reflects an increase in net interest income of $3.5 million offset by a decrease in non-interest income of $1.3 million and increases in non-interest expense and provision for loan losses of $431,000 and $255,000, respectively.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $25.5 million or $1.13 diluted earnings per share compared to $18.3 million or $0.94 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2016. The increase in net income and diluted earnings per share reflects an increase in net interest income of $15.6 million offset by a decrease in non-interest income of $2.2 million and increases in non-interest expense and income tax expense of $4.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

The increases in diluted earnings per share when comparing 2017 to 2016 was partially offset by an increase in dilutive shares outstanding as a result of the stock issued in the Kosciusko Financial, Inc. and LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. acquisitions in 2016 and the Lafayette acquisition in 2017. Core net income for the third quarter of 2017 was $9.2 million or $0.41 diluted earnings per share compared to $8.4 million or $0.39 diluted earnings per share for the same period of 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, core net income was $25.4 million or $1.13 diluted earnings per share compared to $20.7 million or $1.07 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2016.

Horizon’s net interest margin was 3.71% for the third quarter of 2017, down from 3.84% for the prior quarter and up from 3.37% for the same period of 2016.  The decrease in the net interest margin from the third quarter to the second quarter of 2017 was primarily due to 12 basis point decrease in loan yields as a higher amount of swap fee income was recorded during the second quarter. The increase in the net interest margin compared to the same period of 2016 was due to an increase in loan yields of 13 basis points and a decrease in the cost of borrowings of 15 basis points. Excluding acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments, the margin would have been 3.63% for the third quarter of 2017 compared to 3.71% for the second quarter of 2017 and 3.31% for the same period of 2016. Interest income from acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments was $661,000, $939,000 and $459,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

Horizon’s net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 3.77% compared to 3.43% for the same period in 2016. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily due to an increase in loan yields of 13 basis points which was offset by a decrease in the yield earned on non-taxable securities of 24 basis points. Also, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 12 basis points primarily due to a decrease in the cost of borrowings of 21 basis points. Excluding acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments, the margin would have been 3.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 3.36% for the same period in 2016. Interest income from acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments was $2.6 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Total non-interest income decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to the same periods in 2016 by $1.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in gains on sale of mortgage loans. Horizon continues to experience a decrease in sold mortgage loan volume compared to 2016. Partially offsetting the decrease in gains on sale of mortgage loans was the continued growth in service charges on deposit accounts, interchange fees and fiduciary activities.

Horizon’s income tax expense decreased $1.0 million from the second quarter of 2017 when compared to the third quarter of 2017 due to a decrease in income before income tax of $1.9 million, a decrease in state tax liability as a result of state net operating loss carryforwards obtained through recent acquisitions and tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options during the quarter. Horizon’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2017 decreased to 23.5% compared to 28.0% for the second quarter of 2017.

Lending Activity

Total loans increased $285.4 million from $2.144 billion as of December 31, 2016 to $2.429 billion as of September 30, 2017 as commercial loans increased by $203.8 million, residential mortgage loans increased by $39.2 million and consumer loans increased by $87.1 million offset by a decrease in mortgage warehouse loans of $40.2 million. Total loans, excluding acquired loans, mortgage warehouse loans and loans held for sale, increased by an annualized rate of 12.8%, or $192.4 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Loan balances in the growth markets of Fort Wayne, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis and Kalamazoo totaled $517.2 million as of September 30, 2017. Combined, these markets contributed $120.1 million, or 30.3%, in loan growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Residential mortgage lending activity for the three months ended September 30, 2017 generated $2.1 million in income from the gain on sale of mortgage loans, a decrease of $147,000 from the previous quarter and a decrease of $1.8 million from the same period in 2016. Residential mortgage lending activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 generated $6.2 million in income from the gain on sale of mortgage loans, a decrease of $2.8 million from the same period in 2016. Total origination volume for the third quarter of 2017, including loans placed into portfolio, totaled $95.1 million, representing a decrease of 13.8% from the previous quarter and a decrease of 26.3% from the same period in 2016. Total origination volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, including loans placed into portfolio, totaled $271.4 million, a decrease of 20.5% compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in mortgage loan origination volume was primarily due to a decrease in mortgage loan refinance activity when comparing 2017 to 2016. Purchase money mortgage originations during the third quarter of 2017 represented 80.2% of total originations compared to 78.4% of originations during the previous quarter and 66.5% during the third quarter of 2016. Purchase money mortgage originations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 represented 76.9% of originations compared to 70.8% for the same period in 2016.

The provision for loan losses totaled $710,000 for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $330,000 for the second quarter of 2017 and $455,000 for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in the provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2017 was due to the increase in gross loans when compared to the same period in 2016. The provision for loan losses totaled $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in the provision for loan losses was due to additional allocations to loans originated in new markets and an increase in allocation for agricultural economic factors.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased to 0.61% as of September 30, 2017 from 0.69% as of December 31, 2016 due to an increase in gross loans.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding loans with credit-related purchase accounting adjustments, was 0.77% as of September 30, 2017 compared to 0.91% as of December 31, 2016.  Loan loss reserves and credit-related loan discounts on acquired loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.18% as of September 30, 2017 compared to 1.39% as of December 31, 2016.

Outside services and consultant expense decreased by $182,000 due to a lower amount of merger-related expenses incurred for the third quarter of 2017 when compared to the same period of 2016. FDIC insurance expense decreased $195,000 in the third quarter of 2017 when compared to the same period of 2016 as the assessment rate schedule was reduced effective for assessment payments due in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2017. Loan expense decreased $267,000 in the third quarter of 2017 when compared to the same prior year period of 2016 primarily due to a decrease in loan collection expenses.

Total non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $4.2 million, or 6.6%, when compared to the same period in 2016. Excluding merger-related expenses of $2.2 million and $5.5 million recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, total non-interest expense increased $7.5 million, or 12.7%.

Outside services and consultant expense and professional fee expense decreased $992,000 and $393,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to the same period of 2016 primarily due to a lower amount of merger-related expenses being incurred in 2017.

Certain information set forth in this press release refers to financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP.  Specifically, we have included non-GAAP financial measures of the net interest margin and the allowance for loan and lease losses excluding the impact of acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments, total loans and loan growth, and net income and diluted earnings per share excluding the impact of one-time costs related to acquisitions, acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments and other events that are considered to be non-recurring.  Horizon believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors and provide a greater understanding of our business without giving effect to the purchase accounting impacts and one-time costs of acquisitions and non-core items, although these measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure.  See the tables and other information contained elsewhere in this press release for reconciliations of the non-GAAP figures identified herein and their most comparable GAAP measures.
