DUBUQUE, Iowa, Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heartland Financial USA, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTLF) today reported net income available to common stockholders of $33.7 million, or $0.97 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to $21.6 million, or $0.72 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2017. Return on average common equity was 10.58% and return on average assets was 1.18% for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 8.99% and 0.89%, respectively, for the same quarter in 2017.

Net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was $84.8 million or $2.59 per diluted common share, compared to $61.6 million or $2.21 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Return on average common equity was 9.95% and return on average assets was 1.07% for the first nine months of 2018, compared to 9.88% and 0.94% for the same period in 2017.

Commenting on Heartland’s third quarter results, Lynn B. Fuller, Heartland’s executive operating chairman, said, "Heartland reported another excellent quarter with net income available to common stockholders of $33.7 million or $0.97 per diluted common share, which was driven by a strong net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis of 4.38 percent and continued improvement in our efficiency ratio."

On May 18, 2018, Heartland completed the acquisition of Lubbock, Texas based First Bank Lubbock Bancshares, Inc. ("FBLB"), parent company of First Bank & Trust, and PrimeWest Mortgage Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Bank & Trust. Based on Heartland's closing common stock price of $55.05 per share on May 18, 2018, the aggregate consideration paid to FBLB common shareholders was $189.9 million, with approximately 3% of the consideration paid in cash and 97% paid by delivery of Heartland common stock. As a result of the transaction, First Bank & Trust became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heartland and its 11th state-chartered bank. First Bank & Trust and PrimeWest Mortgage Corporation continue to operate under their present brands and management teams. As of the closing date, FBLB had, at fair value, total assets of $1.12 billion, total loans held to maturity of $681.1 million and total deposits of $893.8 million. Heartland also assumed, at fair value, $8.2 million of trust preferred debt. The systems conversion for this transaction occurred on August 17, 2018.

In the third quarter of 2018, Heartland closed three branch locations, consisting of one branch at Dubuque Bank and Trust Company, Arizona Bank & Trust and Rocky Mountain Bank. Additionally, Wisconsin Bank & Trust announced the sale of two branches, which resulted in the classification of $31.4 million of loans and $50.3 million of deposits as held for sale at September 30, 2018. The sales transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019, pending regulatory approval. Excluding the pending branch sales, Heartland operated 122 branch locations across its footprint at September 30, 2018.

Bruce K. Lee, Heartland's president and chief executive officer, stated, "We continue to optimize our branch network and capitalize on the favorable market value of our branches. We are focusing our efforts in markets where we are well-positioned for growth."

Net Interest Margin Increases from Third Quarter of 2017

Net interest margin, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, was 4.32% (4.38% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the third quarter of 2018, compared to 4.08% (4.26% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the third quarter of 2017 and 4.23% (4.30% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the second quarter of 2018.

"We are very pleased with our tax-equivalent net interest margin of 4.38 percent for the third quarter of 2018, which increased 12 basis points from 4.26 percent for the third quarter of 2017. The improved margin was driven by an increase in average earning assets and a favorable deposit mix," Lee said.

Total interest income for the third quarter of 2018 was $124.9 million compared to $99.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $25.9 million or 26%. The taxable equivalent adjustment for income taxes saved on the interest earned on nontaxable securities and loans was $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2018 and $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2017. With these adjustments, total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $126.4 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $23.5 million or 23%, compared to total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $102.9 million for the third quarter of 2017. Average earning assets increased $1.43 billion or 16% from the third quarter of 2017, which was primarily attributable to the acquisitions completed in the first half of 2018. The average rate on earning assets increased 26 basis points to 4.94% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 4.68% for the same quarter in 2017. The increase in interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was primarily due to recent increases in market interest rates and the increase in average earning assets.

Total interest expense for the third quarter of 2018 was $14.2 million, an increase of $5.1 million or 56% from $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2017. Average interest bearing deposits increased $938.3 million or 18% to $6.13 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, from $5.19 billion in the same quarter in 2017, which was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions. The average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing deposits increased 26 basis points to 0.65% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 0.39% for the same quarter in 2017. Average borrowings declined $91.1 million or 18% to $419.0 million during the third quarter of 2018 from $510.0 million during the same quarter in 2017. The average interest rate paid on Heartland's borrowings was 3.91% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 3.16% in the third quarter of 2017. The increase of 75 basis points in the average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to recent increases in market interest rates.

Net interest income was $110.7 million during the third quarter of 2018 compared to $89.8 million during the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $20.8 million or 23%. After the tax-equivalent adjustment discussed above, net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $112.2 million during the third quarter of 2018 compared to net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $93.8 million during the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $18.5 million or 20%.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense Increase from Third Quarter of 2017

Total noninterest income was $29.8 million during the third quarter of 2018 compared to $25.0 million during the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $4.8 million or 19%. Service charges and fees increased $2.8 million or 27% to $12.9 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $10.1 million for the same quarter of 2017. Service charges related to credit card income increased $1.1 million or 54% to $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $2.0 million for the same quarter of 2017. The remainder of the increase in service charges was primarily attributable to Heartland's larger customer base as a result of recent acquisitions. Securities losses, net, totaled $145,000 for the third quarter of 2018 compared to net securities gains of $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2017. Net gains on sale of loans held for sale totaled $7.4 million during the third quarter of 2018 compared to $5.0 million during the same quarter in 2017, which was an increase of $2.4 million or 48%, primarily due to the acquisition of PrimeWest Mortgage Corporation in the second quarter of 2018.

For the third quarter of 2018, total noninterest expense was $92.5 million compared to $78.8 million during the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $13.8 million or 17%. Salaries and employee benefits increased $4.7 million or 10% to $49.9 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $45.2 million for the same quarter in 2017, which was primarily due to the increase in full time equivalent employees from recent acquisitions. Heartland had 2,211 full time equivalent employees at September 30, 2018, compared to 2,024 full time equivalent employees at September 30, 2017. Professional fees increased $3.2 million or 38% to $11.7 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2017, which was primarily attributable to the outsourcing of mortgage loan processing, underwriting and loan closing functions. Advertising expenses increased $1.4 million or 103% to $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2017, which related to increased marketing efforts to support Heartland's expanding footprint. Other noninterest expenses were $12.9 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2017, which was an increase of $2.9 million or 29%. Included in this increase was a write-down of $338,000 on a partnership investment that qualifies for solar energy tax credits. The remainder of the increase was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions.

Heartland's effective tax rate was 20.99% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 28.74% for the third quarter of 2017. Federal low-income housing tax credits included in the determination of Heartland's income taxes totaled $307,000 during both the third quarter of 2018 and 2017. Included in Heartland's third quarter 2018 tax calculation was a solar energy tax credit totaling $223,000. Heartland's effective tax rate was also affected by the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, which reduced the federal income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21% beginning January 1, 2018. Due to the lower federal tax rate, the level of tax-exempt interest income as a percentage of pre-tax income declined to 13.62% during the third quarter of 2018 from 24.01% during the third quarter of 2017.

(1) Efficiency ratio, fully tax-equivalent, expresses noninterest expenses as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income. This efficiency ratio is presented on a tax-equivalent basis, which adjusts net interest income and noninterest expenses for the tax favored status of certain loans, securities and tax credit projects. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the financial results as it enhances the comparability of income and expenses arising from taxable and nontaxable sources and excludes specific items, as noted in the table. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
(2) Computed on a tax-equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 21% beginning January 1, 2018, and 35% for all prior periods.
