Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2010 Net Income of $2.6 Million.
LOWELL, Mass (July 21, 2010) - Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EBTC), parent of Enterprise Bank, announced net income of $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 89%. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 amounted to $5.5 million compared to $2.9 million for the comparable 2009 period, an increase of 90%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.28 and $0.60 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.17 and $0.36 for each of the same periods in 2009, increases of 65% and 67% respectively.
The increase in net income is primarily attributed to growth in loans, deposits and investment assets under management during the last year, increased net interest income spreads, increased gains on securities in the current quarter, and for the 2009 periods, results were negatively impacted by the FDIC special assessment and impairment charges on investment securities.
As previously announced on July 20, 2010, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on September 1, 2010, to shareholders of record as of August 11, 2010. The quarterly dividend represents a 5.3% increase over the 2009 dividend rate.
Chief Executive Officer Jack Clancy commented, “We are pleased to continue to report strong financial results, while at the same time, investing to position Enterprise for continued long-term growth. Investments in our branch network, infrastructure, technology, and most importantly, in our people are positioning us to take advantage of current market opportunities now and into the future. Deposits, excluding brokered deposits, and loans have grown 17% and 6%, respectively, on an annualized basis since December 31, 2009. In early June, we moved from our temporary location in Derry, NH to our newly constructed full-service branch at 47 Crystal Ave., and we recently announced plans for a new office in Hudson, NH, which we anticipate opening by the end of the year. Hudson will be our third Southern New Hampshire location.”
Founder and Chairman of the Board George Duncan stated, “We have an unwavering commitment and focus on the communities that we serve. Local businesses, professionals, non-profits and individuals continue to seek the flexibility, responsiveness and personalized service that a community bank such as Enterprise provides. As a strong, well-capitalized community bank with state-of-the-art product capabilities delivered with a local and strong customer service focus, we are well positioned to meet our communities’ needs. We feel the recent bank acquisitions in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire will benefit our franchise because any time a local bank is purchased by an out-of-area bank they lose the local knowledge and personal service elements that are so important to succeed and grow in today’s environment.”
Results of Operations
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 amounted to $13.9 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 19%, compared to the June 2009 quarter. Net interest income increased $4.2 million, or 19% for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 and amounted to $27.0 million, compared to $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in net interest income over the comparable 2009 quarter and year-to-date periods was due primarily to loan growth. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, average loan balances increased $112.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. Average loan balances increased $119.4 million for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Additionally, net interest margin increased to 4.48% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 4.19% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Net interest margin was 4.42% for the fourth quarter of 2009. Year-to-date net interest margin was 4.46% and 4.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 4.28% for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The provision for loan losses amounted to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $864 thousand for the same period in 2009. The provision for loan losses amounted to $1.9 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The provision for loan losses was impacted primarily by the level of general non-performing loans and reserves for specific adversely classified loans, net charge-offs, and the level of loan growth. Loan growth during the first six months of 2010 amounted to $33.4 million compared to $70.8 million for the same period in 2009. For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $848 thousand, compared to net charge-offs of $525 thousand for the period ended June 30, 2009. Annualized net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 amounted to 0.16% of average total loans, and non-performing assets to total assets were 1.40% at June 30, 2010. The levels of charge-offs and non-performing assets, which reflect more normalized levels compared to the historic lows of recent years, are a function of the current economic environment and remain favorable compared to peer levels. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 1.73% at June 30, 2010, compared to 1.68% at December 31, 2009 and 1.64% at June 30, 2009.
Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 amounted to $2.9 million, an increase of $502 thousand, or 21%, compared to the same quarter last year, primarily resulting from increases in net gains on sales of investment securities, investment advisory fees and deposit service fees, partially offset by declines in gains on loan sales. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 amounted to $5.9 million an increase of $1.2 million, or 26%, compared to the 2009 year-to-date period. The increase in the current year-to-date period primarily resulted from a reduction in the impairment charges on investment securities partially offset by a decrease in net gains on sales of investment securities, in addition to increases in investment advisory fees, deposit service fees and gains on sales of other real estate owned, partially offset by declines in gains on loan sales.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010, amounted to $11.8 million, an increase of $542 thousand, or 5%, compared to the same quarter last year. Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010, amounted to $22.9 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 6%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in non-interest expense was related primarily to the Company’s strategic growth initiatives resulting in increases in compensation-related costs, technology expenses and advertising expenses, partially offset by a reduction in deposit insurance expense due to a special assessment in June 2009.
