EXHIBIT 99.1
HOUSTON, April 27, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Encore Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq:EBTX) today reported first quarter 2012 net income of $3.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share, compared to $1.2 million or $0.05 per diluted common share for the same period in 2011.
First Quarter Highlights
Improved earnings metrics
Grew loans and deposits
Continued improvement in credit quality
Maintained solid capital ratios
Merger with Cadence Bancorp, LLC
As previously announced, on March 5, 2012, Encore and Cadence Bancorp, LLC, a company headquartered in Houston, Texas, agreed to a strategic business combination in which Encore will merge into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cadence. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2012 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by Encore's shareholders.
"Our first quarter earnings reflect strong loan demand funded by noninterest-bearing deposit growth, as well as continued improvements in our credit quality," said James S. D'Agostino, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Encore Bancshares, Inc. "Our previously announced merger with Cadence Bancorp is expected to close in the second half of 2012. With the growth in our balance sheet and decreased nonaccrual loans, we believe that Encore will help create a strong Houston network of branches and augment the lending capabilities for the Cadence franchise."
Net Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net income was $3.2 million, compared with $1.2 million for the same period of 2011. Earnings per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2012 were $0.26, compared with $0.05 for the same period of 2011, after deducting preferred dividends for each period.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis (TE) for the first quarter of 2012 was $12.2 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 9.5%, compared with the same period of 2011. The net interest margin (TE) expanded 10 basis points to 3.48% during the same comparison period. The increase in margin was primarily due to lower rates on deposit products and a change in the deposit mix as higher costing interest-bearing deposits were replaced with noninterest-bearing deposits.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, up $0.5 million compared with the same period of 2011 due to an increase in trust and investment management fees and higher insurance fees and commissions.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of $0.2 million, compared with the same period of 2011. This decrease was due primarily to a combination of lower FDIC assessments and a decrease in other noninterest expense. The decrease in other noninterest expense was due in part to a reduction in the reserve for losses on unfunded loan commitments. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $0.4 million primarily due to merger-related costs.
Loans
Period end loans, including loans held for sale, were $1.0 billion at March 31, 2012, an increase of $109 million, or 11.6%, compared with March 31, 2011. Commercial and commercial real estate loans have increased $70.7 million or 43.1% and $55.6 million or 32.9%, respectively, for this time period due to continued efforts to grow the commercial loan portfolio as a percentage of the total loan portfolio.
Deposits
Period end deposits were $1.2 billion at March 31, 2012, an increase of $123 million, or 11.8%, compared with March 31, 2011. Period-end noninterest-bearing deposits were $379 million, an increase of $160 million, or 72.6%, compared with March 31, 2011 and represented 32.6% of total deposits at March 31, 2012.
Credit Quality and Capital Ratios
The provision for loan losses was $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared with $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was due to overall improvements in credit quality and lower net charge-offs which included a $0.4 million recovery in the first quarter of 2012. Net charge-offs for the first quarter were $0.7 million, or 0.28% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared with $1.9 million or 0.77% of average total loans for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $1.8 million, or 0.78% of average total loans, for the first quarter of 2011. The allowance for loan losses was $18.0 million, or 1.72% of loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, at March 31, 2012, compared with $19.0 million, or 2.03% of loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, at March 31, 2011.
At March 31, 2012, nonperforming assets were $10.6 million compared with $12.9 million at December 31, 2011 and $35.0 million at March 31, 2011. Nonaccrual loans were $6.6 million at March 31, 2012, compared with $10.8 million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $4.2 million. Other real estate owned was $4.0 million at March 31, 2012, compared with $2.1 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $1.9 million.
As of March 31, 2012, our estimated Tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based and leverage capital ratios were 13.61%, 14.87%, and 9.99%, respectively. In addition, Encore Bank was considered "well capitalized" pursuant to regulatory capital definitions. Book value per common share and tangible book value per common share were $12.26 and $8.80 at March 31, 2012.
