SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heritage Commerce Corp (Nasdaq: HTBK), the holding company (the “Company”) for Heritage Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”), today announced net income was $11.3 million, or $0.26 per average diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $12.4 million, or $0.28 per average diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2018, and $11.4 million, or $0.26 per average diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net income was $34.8 million, or $0.80 per average diluted common share, compared to $22.1 million, or $0.53 per average diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. All results are unaudited.

Earnings for the second quarter of 2019, the third quarter of 2019, and the first nine months of 2019 were reduced by merger-related costs of $540,000, $661,000, and $1.2 million, respectively, related to the merger with Presidio Bank (“Presidio”) which was completed on October 11, 2019. Earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and for the first nine months of 2018 were reduced by merger-related costs of $199,000 and $9.0 million, respectively, for the acquisitions of Tri-Valley Bank (“Tri-Valley”) and United American Bank (“United American”) which were completed on April 6, 2018 and May 4, 2018, respectively.

“Our solid third quarter of 2019 financial results continue to demonstrate the strength of our franchise, generating record earnings for the first nine months of 2019,” said Keith A. Wilton, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered improved credit quality metrics, with noteworthy reductions in nonperforming loans and classified assets. Despite a very challenging interest rate environment, our loan and deposit trends were stable with noninterest-bearing deposits increasing 10% on a linked quarter basis and representing 41% of total deposits as of September 30, 2019.

“We completed the acquisition of Presidio Bank on October 11, 2019, and are pleased to welcome their employees, customers and shareholders to the Heritage Bank of Commerce family,” added Mr. Wilton. “This continuation of our strategic growth offers our new customers a broad array of new product offerings, increased lending limits and an expanded branch delivery system that stretches throughout the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. We remain focused on creating value for all of our customers – new and old – our communities, shareholders, and our many employees who support our customers each and every day.”

Third Quarter 2019 Highlights (as of, or for the periods ended September 30, 2019, compared to September 30, 2018, and June 30, 2019, except as noted):

Operating Results:

♦ Diluted earnings per share were $0.26 for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $0.28 for the third quarter of 2018, and $0.26 for the second quarter of 2019.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.80 for the first nine months of 2019, compared to $0.53 for the first nine months of 2018.  

  • Earnings for the third quarter of 2019, second quarter of 2019, and first nine months of 2019 were reduced by merger-related costs for the merger with Presidio, and earnings for the third quarter of 2018, and first nine months of 2018 were reduced by merger-related costs for the acquisitions of Tri-Valley and United American, as follows:

♦ Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, decreased 6% to $30.6 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $32.5 million for the third quarter of 2018, and decreased 1% from $30.9 million for the second quarter of 2019. Net interest income increased 4% to $92.6 million for the first nine months of 2019, compared to $89.0 million for the first nine months of 2018. 

  • The fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin contracted 12 basis points to 4.24% for the third quarter of 2019, from 4.36% for the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to a decline in the average balance of loans and a higher cost of deposits. The net interest margin contracted 14 basis points for the third quarter of 2019 from 4.38% for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on loans, securities and overnight funds, partially offset by a higher average balance of loans.
                 
  • For the first nine months of 2019, the net interest margin expanded 6 basis points to 4.33%, compared to 4.27% for the first nine months of 2018, primarily due to a higher average balance of loans and securities, the impact of increases in the yields on loans, investment securities, and overnight funds, and an increase in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in the cost of deposits, and a decrease in the average balance of Bay View Funding’s factored receivables.

  • The average yield on the total loan portfolio increased to 5.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 5.82% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to increases in the prime rate, and an increase in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into loan interest income from the acquisitions.
                 
  • The total purchase discount on loans from Focus Business Bank (“Focus”) loan portfolio was $5.4 million on the acquisition date of August 20, 2015, of which $437,000 remains outstanding as of September 30, 2019. The total purchase discount on loans from Tri-Valley loan portfolio was $2.6 million on the acquisition date of April 6, 2018, of which $1.8 million remains outstanding as of September 30, 2019. The total purchase discount on loans from United American loan portfolio was $4.7 million on the acquisition date of May 4, 2018, of which $2.9 million remains outstanding as of September 30, 2019.

♦ The cost of total deposits was 0.31% for the third quarter of 2019, compared to 0.23% for the third quarter of 2018 and 0.31% for the second quarter of 2019. The cost of total deposits was 0.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 0.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

♦ There was a $576,000 credit to the provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2019, compared to a $425,000 credit to the provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2018, and a $740,000 credit to the provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2019. There was a $2.4 million credit to the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a $7.3 million provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The higher provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a $7.0 million specific reserve for a lending relationship that was placed on nonaccrual during the second quarter of 2018.

♦ Total noninterest income increased to $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $2.2 million the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to a $330,000 gain on sales of securities for the third quarter of 2019. Noninterest income declined to $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2019 from $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to a higher gain on the sales of securities for the second quarter of 2019. 

  • For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, noninterest income increased to $7.9 million, compared to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in noninterest income for the first nine months of 2019, was primarily due to higher service charges and fees on deposit accounts, and a higher gain on sales of securities for the first nine months of 2019, partially offset by lower gain on sales of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans for the first nine months of 2019, and proceeds from a legal settlement in the first nine months of 2018.

  • The Company received $1.3 million in proceeds from a legal settlement during the second quarter of 2018, of which $377,000 was recorded in other noninterest income, and $922,000 was credited to professional fees for recaptured legal fees previously paid by the Company.   

♦ Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2019 increased to $17.9 million, compared to $17.7 million for the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher merger-related costs for the third quarter of 2019. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2019 included total merger-related costs of $661,000 for the Presidio acquisition (all included in other noninterest expense), compared to total merger-related costs of $199,000 for the third quarter of 2018 for the Tri-Valley and United American acquisitions. The merger-related costs of $199,000 for the third quarter of 2018 consisted of $183,000 included in salaries and employee benefits expense and $16,000 included in other noninterest expense. Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2019 decreased to $17.9 million, compared to $18.4 million for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits and lower other noninterest expense. 

  • Total noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased to $54.3 million, compared to $58.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to lower merger-related costs, partially offset by higher professional fees. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included total merger-related costs of $1.2 million for the Presidio acquisition (all included in other noninterest expense), compared to total merger-related costs of $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 for the Tri-Valley and United American acquisitions. The merger-related costs of $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 consisted of $3.6 million included in salaries and employee benefits and $5.4 million in other noninterest expense. Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a recovery of $922,000 from a legal settlement. 

  •  Full time equivalent employees were 308 at September 30, 2019, 296 at September 30, 2018, and 309 at June 30, 2019.

♦ The efficiency ratio was 53.87% for the third quarter of 2019, compared to 51.15% for the third quarter of 2018, and 54.76% for the second quarter of 2019. The efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 54.04%, compared to 60.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.   

♦ Income tax expense was $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2018, and $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2019. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $13.8 million, compared to $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was 29.1%, compared to 28.7% for the third quarter of 2018, and 28.9% for the second quarter of 2019. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 28.4%, compared to 27.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

  • The difference in the effective tax rate for the periods reported compared to the combined Federal and state statutory tax rate of 29.6% is primarily the result of the Company’s investment in life insurance policies whose earnings are not subject to taxes, tax credits related to investments in low income housing limited partnerships (net of low income housing investment losses), and tax-exempt interest income earned on municipal bonds.

Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality:

♦ Total assets remained relatively flat at $3.18 billion at September 30, 2019, compared to $3.19 billion at September 30, 2018 and increased 2% from $3.11 billion at June 30, 2019. 

♦ Securities available-for-sale, at fair value, totaled $333.1 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $319.1 million at September 30, 2018, and $383.1 million at June 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, the Company’s securities available-for-sale portfolio comprised $212.7 million of agency mortgage-backed securities (all issued by U.S. Government sponsored entities), and $120.4 million of U.S. Treasury. The pre-tax unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale at September 30, 2019 was $1.7 million, compared to a pre-tax unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale of ($12.7) million at September 30, 2018, and a pre-tax unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $915,000 at June 30, 2019. All other factors remaining the same, when market interest rates are rising, the Company will experience a lower unrealized gain (or a higher unrealized loss) on the securities portfolio.    

  • During the third quarter of 2019, the Company sold $38.9 million of securities available-for-sale for a net gain of $330,000. The securities sold consisted of $18.6 million of agency mortgage-backed securities and $20.3 million of U.S. Treasury securities.        

♦ At September 30, 2019, securities held-to-maturity, at amortized cost, totaled $342.0 million, compared to $375.7 million at September 30, 2018, and $351.4 million at June 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, the Company’s securities held-to-maturity portfolio was comprised of $259.3 million of agency mortgage-backed securities, and $82.7 million of tax-exempt municipal bonds.

  • Loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, decreased $24.0 million or (1%), to $1.88 billion at September 30, 2019, compared to $1.90 billion at September 30, 2018, primarily due to a decline of $72.5 million in commercial loans (“C&I”), $34.9 million in land and construction loans, $5.0 million in home equity loans, $4.8 million in purchased residential mortgages, and $3.8 million in purchased CRE loans, partially offset by an increase of $95.5 million in CRE loans. Loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, remained flat at $1.88 billion at September 30, 2019, compared to $1.88 billion June 30, 2019.

♦ On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, the Company recognizes the following for all leases, at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. While the new standard impacts lessors, the Company is impacted as a lessee of the offices and real estate used for operations. The Company's lease agreements include options to renew at the Company's discretion. The extensions are not reasonably certain to be exercised, therefore they are not considered in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. Total assets and total liabilities were $7.1 million on its consolidated statement of financial condition at September 30, 2019, as a result of recognizing right-of-use assets, included in other assets, and lease liabilities, included in other liabilities, related to non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space.
