SB One Bancorp Reports a 30% Growth in Core EPS for 2018 and Declares a Cash Dividend


ROCKAWAY, N.J., Feb. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SB One Bancorp (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SBBX), the holding company for SB One Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $9.9 million, or $1.26 per basic and $1.25 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of 74.4%, as compared to $5.7 million, or $1.06 per basic share and $1.05 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The Company closed on two acquisitions during 2018, completing the acquisition of Community Bank of Bergen County (“Community Bank”) with total assets of $365.6 million on January 4, 2018 and the acquisition of Enterprise Bank, NJ (“Enterprise”) with total assets of $279.8 million on December 21, 2018, and engaged in the rebranding of the Company, the Bank and its insurance subsidiary to SB One.  The mergers and the double digit organic growth in commercial loans and deposits, drove an 83.5% growth in total assets to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2018 from $979.4 million at December 31, 2017.  This growth drove higher core net income, which when adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses, increased 91.1%. In addition, diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”), as adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses, increased 30.4% for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.

The Company’s net income, when adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses of $4.5 million and $271 thousand, respectively, increased $7.0 million, or 91.1%, to $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.  Diluted EPS, as adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses, increased 30.4% to $1.86 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $1.42 for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The Company’s return on average assets, adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses, for the year ended December 31, 2018, was 1.03%, an increase from 0.84% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $2.4 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, an increase of 358.7%, as compared to $513 thousand, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2017.  The Company’s net income, adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses of $1.3 million and $119 thousand, respectively, increased $1.6 million, or 77.1%, to $3.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.  The Company’s return on average assets, adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, was 0.99%, an increase from 0.88% from the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

The increase in net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018 was mainly attributable to continued double digit organic commercial loan and deposit growth, the merger with Community Bank, the positive impact from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and an increase in SB One Insurance Agency twelve month pretax profit of over 40%.

“2018 was a very successful year for our Company as we nearly doubled our core earnings and total assets.  We accomplished this by growing our business lines organically by double digits and completing two mergers,” said Anthony Labozzetta, President and Chief Executive Officer of SB One Bancorp and SB One Bank.  Mr. Labozzetta went on to say, “These are very exciting times for our shareholders, customers, and employees and although there may be headwinds ahead of us resulting from the flattening of the yield curve, we continue to be very optimistic that there will be as many opportunities for us to continue our disciplined growth and strong performance over the short and long run.  We continue to maintain strong pipelines for loans and deposits, which will help us build our earnings into the foreseeable future.”

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
On January 23, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share, which is payable on March 6, 2019 to common shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 20, 2019.

Financial Performance
Net Income. For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $2.4 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $513 thousand, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2017.  The Company’s net income, adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses of $1.3 million and $119 thousand, respectively, increased $1.6 million, or 77.1%, to $3.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.

The increase in net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was driven by a $3.5 million, or 44.0%, increase in net interest income resulting from strong loan and deposit growth and a $532 thousand increase in non-interest income driven by insurance commissions and fees, which were partially offset by a $3.5 million increase in non-interest expenses.  The changes were largely attributed to double digit organic commercial loan and deposit growth, the growth of the Company resulting from the merger with Community Bank, net of non-interest expense savings, and the positive impacts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $9.9 million, or $1.26 per basic and $1.25 per diluted share, or a 74.4% increase, as compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $1.06 per basic share and $1.05 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The Company’s net income, adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses of $4.5 million and $271 thousand, respectively, increased $7.0 million, or 91.1%, to $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.  Diluted EPS, as adjusted for tax effected merger-related expenses and non-recurring expenses, increased 30.4% to $1.86 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $1.42 for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The changes were largely attributed to the growth of the Company resulting from the merger with Community Bank, net of non-interest expense savings, double digit organic commercial loan and deposit growth, and the positive impacts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and a 41% increase in SB One Insurance pretax income.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $3.6 million, or 44.0%, to $11.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to $8.0 million for the same period in 2017.  The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $507.1 million, or 54.9%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $420.7 million, or 52.3%. The aforementioned was partly offset by a decrease in the net interest margin of 25 basis points to 3.21% for the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.  The decrease was primarily driven by the effects of higher market rates on interest bearing liabilities costs, which increased 46 basis points, and was partially offset by an increase in earning asset yields, which grew 13 basis points during the comparison period.  The increase in interest bearing liabilities was partly impacted by an increase in wholesale funding to support strong loan growth.  The increase in interest earning asset yields was partially attributed to purchase accounting accretion of $311.7 thousand ($233.4 thousand from the Community Bank merger and $78.3 thousand from the Enterprise merger) for the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $15.2 million, or 51.2%, to $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $29.7 million for the same period in 2017.  The increase in net interest income was largely due to a $461.1 million, or 52.6%, increase in average interest earning assets, principally loans receivable, which increased $382.4 million, or 50.5%.  The aforementioned was partly offset by a decrease in the net interest margin of 3 basis points to 3.36% for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.  The decrease was primarily driven by the effects of higher market rates on interest bearing liabilities costs, which increased 25 basis points, and were partially offset by an increase in earning asset yields, which grew 16 basis points during the comparison period.  The increase in interest earning asset yields was partially attributed to purchase accounting accretion of $1.2 million ($1.1 million from the Community Bank merger and $78.3 thousand from the Enterprise merger) for the fiscal year of 2018 as compared to the same period for 2017.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses decreased $249 thousand, or 54.2%, to $210 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to $459 thousand for the same period in 2017.

Provision for loan losses decreased $149 thousand, or 9.4%, to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $532 thousand, or 27.1%, to $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.  The increase was largely due to an increase of $206 thousand, or 17.6%, in insurance commissions and fees relating to SB One Insurance Agency.  In addition, other income, ATM and debit card fees, and bank owned life insurance, increased $132 thousand, $67 thousand, and $54 thousand, respectively, largely due to the completion of the merger with Community Bank.

The Company’s non-interest income increased $2.5 million, or 29.7%, to $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.  The increase was largely due to growth of $1.3 million in insurance commissions and fees related to SB One Insurance Agency.  In addition, other income, bank owned life insurance, ATM and debit card fees and service fees on deposit accounts, increased $411 thousand, $239 thousand, $206 thousand, and $167 thousand, respectively, largely due to the completion of the merger with Community Bank.

Non-interest Expense. The Company’s non-interest expenses increased $3.5 million to $10.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.  Merger-related expenses increase $755 thousand to $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to $705 thousand in the comparable 2017 quarter.  The increase was largely attributable to Enterprise merger, which was consummated in December. Non-interest expenses, adjusted to remove the aforementioned merger-related expenses along with other non-recurring expenses of $170 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2018, increased $2.5 million to $8.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.  In addition, approximately $55 thousand of operating expenses for the period in 2018 that Enterprise was included in the Company’s results.  The increase in non-interest expenses occurred largely in salaries and employee benefits of $1.4 million, data processing of $381 thousand, other expenses of $252 thousand, and occupancy of $228 thousand. The growth in operating expenses was largely due to the merger with Community Bank, net of expense savings, and an increase in expenses to support the Company’s growth.

The Company’s non-interest expenses increased $14.8 million to $40.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.  Non-interest expenses, adjusted to remove merger related expenses and other non-recurring expenses of $5.8 million and $376 thousand, respectively, in 2018, and $1.2 million and $75 thousand, respectively, in 2017, increased $9.8 million to $34.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.  The increase in non-interest expenses occurred largely in salaries and employee benefits of $5.9 million, data processing of $1.2 million, occupancy of $896 thousand, other expenses of $485 thousand, advertising and promotion of $279 thousand, furniture and equipment of $256 thousand and amortization of intangible assets of $247 thousand.  The growth in operating expenses was largely due to the merger with Community Bank, net of expense savings, and an increase in expenses to support the Company’s growth.

Income Tax Expense. The Company’s income tax expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 51.4% to $991 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2018, as compared to the same period last year.  The Company’s effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 29.6%, as compared to 79.9% for the fourth quarter of 2017, due to the reduction in the statutory federal tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018 and the newly enacted New Jersey tax legislation in 2018.  The Company’s re-measurement of its net deferred tax asset resulted in additional income tax expense of $942 thousand in the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

The Company’s income tax expenses decreased $1.4 million, or 31.7%, to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.  The Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2018 was 23.6%, as compared to 44.0% for the year ended December 31, 2017, due to the reduction in the statutory federal tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018 and the newly enacted New Jersey tax legislation in 2018.  The Company’s re-measurement of its net deferred tax asset resulted in additional income tax expense of $942 thousand in year ended December 31, 2017.

Financial Condition
At December 31, 2018, the Company’s total assets were $1.8 billion, an increase of $817.4 million, or 83.5%, as compared to total assets of $979.4 million at December 31, 2017.  The increase was largely attributable to the mergers with Community Bank and Enterprise, of $365.6 million and $279.8 million, respectively, of total assets at the closing date of each of the merger transactions.

Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, increased $654.1 million, or 79.7%, to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2018, as compared to $820.7 million at December 31, 2017.  The mergers with Community Bank and Enterprise resulted in an increase in total loans of $236.1 million and $258.8 million, respectively. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company also had $220.1 million of commercial loan production, which was partly offset by $52.8 million in commercial loan payoffs.

The Company’s total deposits increased $591.4 million, or 77.6%, to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2018, from $762.5 million at December 31, 2017. The mergers with Community Bank and Enterprise resulted in an increase in total deposits of $300.2 million and $196.2 million, respectively. The growth in deposits was mostly due to an increase in interest bearing deposits of $477.7 million, or 77.5%, and non-interest bearing deposits of $113.6 million, or 77.7%, at December 31, 2018, as compared to December 31, 2017, respectively.

At December 31, 2018, the Company’s total stockholders’ equity was $185.4 million, an increase of $91.2 million when compared to December 31, 2017, largely due to the merger with Community Bank and Enterprise.  The Company completed the Community Bank merger on January 4, 2018 which was the primary driver in an increase in book value per common share of 24.8% from $15.59 at December 31, 2017 to $19.45 at December 31, 2018.  At December 31, 2018, the leverage, Tier I risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and common equity Tier I capital ratios for the Bank were 12.06%, 12.34%, 12.94% and 12.34%, respectively, all in excess of the ratios required to be deemed “well-capitalized.”

Asset and Credit Quality
The ratio of non-performing assets (“NPAs”), which include non-accrual loans, loans 90 days past due and still accruing, troubled debt restructured loans currently performing in accordance with renegotiated terms and foreclosed real estate, to total assets increased to 1.40% at December 31, 2018 from 0.94% at December 31, 2017.  NPAs exclude $3.3 million of Purchased Credit-Impaired (“PCI”) loans acquired through the merger with Community Bank. NPAs increased $16.0 million to $25.2 million at December 31, 2018, as compared to $9.2 million at December 31, 2017.  Non-accrual loans, excluding $3.3 million of PCI loans, increased $14.2 million, or 235.1%, to $20.2 million at December 31, 2018, as compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2017.  The increase in non-accrual loans was largely attributed to two commercial real estate loans totaling $8.9 million, $2.5 million in loans acquired from Community Bank not classified as PCI, and  consumer loans totaling $3.1 million.  Loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $3.8 million at December 31, 2018, representing a decrease of $2.7 million, or 41.7%, as compared to $6.5 million at December 31, 2017.

The Company continues to actively market its foreclosed real estate properties, the value of which increased $1.9 million to $4.1 million at December 31, 2018 as compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2017.  The mergers with Community Bank and Enterprise resulted in an increase in foreclosed real estate properties of $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2018, the Company’s foreclosed real estate properties had an average carrying value of approximately $319 thousand per property.

The allowance for loan losses increased $1.4 million, or 19.6%, to $8.8 million, or 0.60% of total loans, at December 31, 2018, compared to $7.3 million, or 0.89% of total loans, at December 31, 2017.  The decline in allowance coverage was primarily driven by the addition of Community Bank and Enterprise acquired loans with no allowance for loan losses; such loans were recorded at fair value at their acquisition dates.  The Company’s outstanding credit mark recorded on the legacy Community Bank portfolio of $203.6 million totaled $5.2 million at December 31, 2018. The Company’s outstanding credit mark recorded on the legacy Enterprise portfolio of $261.6 million totaled $3.8 million at December 31, 2018. The Company’s combined coverage of allowance for loan loss and credit mark on the legacy Community Bank and Enterprise portfolios totaled $17.8 million, or 1.20% of the overall loan portfolio, at December 31, 2018. The Company recorded $1.4 million in provision for loan losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $1.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.  Additionally, the Company recorded net recoveries of $3 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $947 thousand in net charge-offs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans decreased to 43.5% at December 31, 2018 from 121.8% at December 31, 2017.
