Brookline Bancorp Announces 2011 Third Quarter Earnings
BROOKLINE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 8, 2011--Brookline Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:BRKL) announced today its earnings for the 2011 third quarter.
The Company earned $6,275,000, or $0.11 per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $7,038,000, or $0.12 per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $20,543,000, or $0.35 per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared to $20,474,000, or $0.35 per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
The acquisition of First Ipswich Bancorp and its subsidiaries (“Ipswich”) was completed effective February 28, 2011. On April 19, 2011, the Company and Bancorp Rhode Island, Inc. (“Bancorp Rhode Island”) entered into a Merger Agreement pursuant to which Bancorp Rhode Island will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”). The Merger has been approved by Bancorp Rhode Island shareholders. Subject to the remaining regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, completion of the Merger is expected to occur in the 2011 fourth quarter.
Net income for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 was reduced by $487,000 ($0.008 per share on a basic and diluted basis) and $1,411,000 ($0.024 per share on a basic and diluted basis), respectively, as a result of non-tax deductible professional fees and other expenses relating to the transactions mentioned above.
Operating highlights for the quarterly and nine month periods included:
- Continued loan and deposit growth (excluding $203 million of loans acquired and $212 million of deposits assumed from First Ipswich Bancorp as of the February 28, 2011 acquisition date).

Part of the commercial loan growth in the 2011 third quarter resulted from the purchase of $9.0 million of seasoned loans by the Company’s subsidiary, Eastern Funding LLC.
- Net interest margin – 3.69% in the 2011 third quarter compared to 3.70% in the 2011 second quarter and 3.71% and 3.70%, respectively, in the 2011 and 2010 nine month periods.
- Higher provisions for credit losses in the 2011 three month and nine month periods of $891,000 and $2,789,000, respectively, compared to the 2010 three month and nine month periods of $551,000 and $2,479,000, respectively – attributable primarily to loan growth as net charge-offs in those periods declined.
- Net loan charge-offs – $610,000 (an annualized rate of 0.09% based on average loans outstanding) and $826,000 (0.15%) in the 2011 and 2010 three month periods, respectively, and $1,681,000 (0.10%) and $3,200,000 (0.20%) in the 2011 and 2010 nine month periods, respectively.
- Non-performing assets - $10.5 million (0.33% of total assets) at September 30, 2011 compared to $11.8 million (0.38%) at June 30, 2011. A write-down of $719,000 was charged to earnings in the 2011 third quarter relating to a property acquired in foreclosure that is expected to be sold in the 2011 fourth quarter. The carrying value of the property was $1,582,000 at September 30, 2011.
- Allowance for loan losses - $31.1 million (1.17%) of total loans at September 30, 2011. A credit mark of $4,240,000, $3,828,000 of which remains at September 30, 2011, was established as of February 28, 2011 in connection with the accounting for acquired Ipswich loans at that date.
- $500,000 loss from investments in lower income housing projects in the 2011 third quarter. The return on such investments is derived from tax benefits and tax credits. Typically, in the first year of such investments, losses exceed tax benefits and tax credits. The after-tax loss in the 2011 third quarter was $78,000. The investments are expected to generate net income in 2012.
- 2011 third quarter non-interest expenses included approximately $465,000 related to several matters described later herein.
Net interest income was $3.4 million, or 13.9%, higher in the 2011 third quarter than in the 2010 third quarter as the average balance of interest-earning assets increased $428.8 million (16.6%), $243.6 million of which resulted from the Ipswich acquisition. Net interest income was $9.8 million, or 13.8% higher in the 2011 nine month period than in the 2010 nine month period as the average balance of interest-earning assets increased $349.2 million (13.6%), $189.2 million of which resulted from the Ipswich acquisition.
Despite a $19.4 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets in the 2011 third quarter, net interest income only increased $14,000 in that quarter compared to the 2011 second quarter due to the decline in net interest margin to 3.69% from 3.70% in those respective quarters. The reduction was due in part to the current low interest rate environment.
The Company has reduced its purchase of investment securities in 2011 because of limited investment opportunities that would provide acceptable risk-adjusted returns. Pricing for new loans is currently very competitive in all loan segments, especially with respect to auto loans. The $18.7 million decline in auto loans outstanding in the 2011 third quarter resulted primarily from our decision to not originate new loans at unprofitable interest rates. While there are recent signs of improvement in auto loan pricing, continuation of the factors which caused net interest margin to decline in the 2011 third quarter could result in further reductions in net interest margin in coming quarters.
The average balance of non-interest-bearing checking accounts increased $15.8 million (9.0%) in the 2011 third quarter. The average balance of transaction deposits (including non-interest-bearing checking accounts), expressed as a percent of the average balance of total deposits, increased from 54.8% in the 2010 third quarter to 61.1% in the 2011 second quarter and 62.4% in the 2011 third quarter. The improvement was attributable to an increased focus on gathering transaction deposits and the desire of depositors to keep their funds in more liquid accounts during the low interest rate environment that has been in existence for some time.
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances increased $16.6 million in the 2011 third quarter to $438.0 million at September 30, 2011. The increased borrowings were used primarily to fund loan growth.
Fees, charges and other income increased from $927,000 in the 2010 third quarter to $1,732,000 in the 2011 third quarter and from $2,885,000 in the 2010 nine month period to $4,698,000 in the 2011 nine month period. The increases resulted primarily from $285,000 in gains related to the sale of residential mortgage loans in the 2011 nine month period compared to $61,000 in the 2010 nine month period and inclusion of fees, charges and other income earned by Ipswich of $632,000 in the 2011 third quarter and $1,506,000 since the acquisition as of February 28, 2011.
The Company sold marketable equity securities in the 2011 first quarter at a gain of $80,000 and investment securities (primarily equity securities) in the 2010 second quarter at a gain of $834,000. In the 2010 first quarter, an impairment loss of $49,000 was recognized on a debt security comprised of a pool of trust preferred securities.
In the 2010 third quarter, $15.9 million of borrowings from the FHLB were prepaid resulting in a penalty of $555,000 and in the 2010 second quarter, $24.0 million of FHLB borrowings were prepaid resulting in a penalty of $913,000. New borrowings from the FHLB were made at the time of the prepayments so as to extend maturities of borrowed funds at lower interest rates.
Total non-interest expenses were $17.1 million in the 2011 third quarter compared to $11.9 million in the 2010 third quarter. The increase was due primarily to (a) inclusion of Ipswich non-interest expenses ($2.7 million), (b) higher compensation and benefits expense resulting from added personnel, salary increases, higher bonuses and medical benefits expense, (c) $487,000 of professional fees and other expenses relating to the contemplated Bancorp Rhode Island transaction, (d) a $719,000 charge to earnings resulting from a write-down of a property under construction acquired through foreclosure and (e) approximately $465,000 for matters relating to conversion to a new data processing system that is expected to occur in 2012, the acquisition of a building that will serve as the administrative headquarters of the Company in the latter part of 2012, legal fees and other costs related to the property acquired through foreclosure, other loan collection matters, litigation and SEC filings, and the formatting of quarterly SEC filings to conform with XBRL reporting requirements.
Total non-interest expenses in the 2011 nine month period were $46.4 million compared to $35.6 million in the 2010 nine month period. The increase was due primarily to inclusion of Ipswich non-interest expenses of $6.2 million, $1.4 million of professional fees and other expenses relating to the Ipswich acquisition and the contemplated Bancorp Rhode Island transaction, expenses described under (b), (d) and (e) in the preceding paragraph, and expenses associated with opening two new branches in June 2010.
In accordance with its press release dated October 19, 2011, the Company recently conducted a review of certain booked entries that were made between the Company’s underlying loan and general ledger systems and its reconciliation processes. As a result of this review, no material adjustments were necessary.
