FIRST BUSINESS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2016
NET INCOME OF $3.7 MILLION ON RECORD TOP LINE REVENUE
Positive Operating Leverage Drives Efficiency Improvement
MADISON, Wis., July 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Business Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company" or "First Business") (NASDAQ:FBIZ), the parent company of First Business Bank, First Business Bank - Milwaukee and Alterra Bank (“Alterra”), today reported second quarter results led by strong revenue growth, tempered by an increase in loan loss provision.
Highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 include:
• | Net income for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $3.7 million, compared to $3.9 million earned in the second quarter of 2015. |
• | Diluted earnings per common share measured $0.43 for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $0.45 for the second quarter of 2015. |
• | Annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity measured 0.81% and 9.43%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 0.93% and 10.73%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2015. |
• | Top line revenue, consisting of net interest income and non-interest income, increased 18% year-over-year to a record $21.6 million. Non-interest income as a percentage of top line revenue measured 27%, exceeding the Company’s 25% target for the first time. |
• | Positive operating leverage, the percentage change in operating revenue greater than the percentage change in operating expenses, improved the efficiency ratio to 61.49%, compared to 65.28% for the second quarter of 2015. |
• | Period-end loans and leases receivable grew for the seventeenth consecutive quarter to $1.452 billion, up $20.9 million from December 31, 2015. |
• | Net interest margin measured 3.59% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 3.61% for the second quarter of 2015. |
• | Provision for loan and lease losses for the second quarter of 2016 was $2.8 million, compared to $520,000 for the second quarter of 2015. |
• | Non-performing assets as a percent of total assets measured 1.33% at period end, compared to 1.09% at March 31, 2016 and 1.35% at December 31, 2015. |
“We are pleased that First Business’s strong fundamentals, diversified revenue streams and positive operating leverage enabled us to grow capital, non-interest income, net interest income and loans to record levels,” said Corey Chambas, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the quarter’s uncharacteristic credit challenges, we firmly believe in the credit process that has served us well over the past 25 years. The new credit issues this quarter, which we believe are not systemic, are situations which we have thoroughly reviewed and we have made changes to processes which should prevent similar issues on a go forward basis.”
Results of Operations
Net interest income of $15.7 million increased 1.3% compared to the linked quarter and 10.9% compared to the second quarter of 2015. Linked quarter growth was primarily due to an increase in prepayment fees collected in lieu of interest from certain conventional and asset-based loan payoffs during the quarter, which more than offset a linked quarter moderate decline in average loan yields. Compared to the second quarter of 2015, net interest income benefited from an increase in loan prepayment fees as well as a $141.5 million, or 10.7%, increase in average loan and lease balances.
Net interest margin was 3.59% for the first and second quarters of 2016 and 3.61% in the second quarter of 2015. Second quarter 2016 net interest margin included seven basis points related to the net accretion/amortization of purchase accounting adjustments, while the linked quarter and second quarter 2015 margin included eight and 14 basis points, respectively. Excluding the net accretion/amortization of the purchase accounting adjustments, second quarter 2016 net interest margin of 3.52% improved by one basis point from the linked quarter, principally due to higher prepayment fees collected in lieu of interest, partially offset by a temporary increase in cash balances held at the Federal Reserve. Similarly, the net interest margin

excluding the net accretion/amortization of purchase accounting adjustments in the second quarter of 2016 improved by five basis points compared to the second quarter of 2015.
Due to the uncertain nature of prepayments on acquired loans, management acknowledges the net accretion/amortization of purchase accounting adjustments may be a source of volatility in future quarters but generally with a declining effect on net interest margin. As of June 30, 2016, $606,000 and $195,000 of purchase accounting discounts and premiums, respectively, remain outstanding. Excluding purchase accounting, management expects to maintain a stable net interest margin driven by appropriate pricing and its ability to mitigate interest rate risk through the Company’s unique wholesale funding model. Net interest margin may also experience occasional volatility due to events such as loan fees collected in lieu of interest, the collection of interest on loans previously in non-accrual or the accumulation of significant short-term deposit inflows.
Non-interest income of $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2016 amounted to 27.0% of top line revenue, exceeding the Company’s 25% target set in October 2015. Non-interest income increased 26.8% from the first quarter of 2016 and 41.1% from the second quarter of 2015. The linked quarter increase primarily reflects stronger than expected gains from SBA loan sales, which benefited from the expansion of the Company’s SBA lending platform into its Wisconsin markets. An increase in loan fees and income from trust and investment services also drove linked quarter growth. The same factors contributed to improved performance compared to the prior year quarter. Gains on the sale of SBA loans totaled an unusually high $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, which represented growth of 153.1% from $842,000 earned in the second quarter of 2015. Trust and investment services income totaled $1.3 million, increasing $65,000, or 5.1%, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Existing client relationships and business development efforts remained strong as trust assets under management and administration measured $1.134 billion at June 30, 2016 compared to $1.107 billion at March 31, 2016 and $998.0 million at June 30, 2015.
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2016 was $13.5 million, increasing 6.0% compared to the linked quarter and 12.4% compared to the second quarter of 2015. Other expenses grew $692,000, or 72.3%, for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $957,000 in the linked quarter. The increase included $425,000 in loan related expenses principally due to the volume of due diligence on new and existing business. In addition, other expenses increased $168,000, compared to the linked quarter, as the Company’s estimated share of income from an investment in a limited partnership was less than the share of income recognized in the first quarter of 2016.
The increase in total non-interest expense year-over-year primarily reflects the Company’s ongoing investment in talent, with $1.5 million in higher compensation costs driven by a 23% increase in full-time equivalent employees to 270 at June 30, 2016 from 219 at June 30, 2015. We expect to continue to opportunistically invest in talent to support our strategic growth efforts, both in the form of additional business development and operational staff. Elevated computer software costs related to expanded use of cloud-based applications and an increase in tax credit investment amortization were partially offset by a decline in professional fees of $521,000 year-over-year, in line with expectations.
The Company achieved positive operating leverage for the second quarter of 2016, resulting in an efficiency ratio of 61.49%, compared to 62.44% for the linked quarter and 65.28% for the second quarter of 2015. Management expects the efficiency ratio to trend towards the Company’s long-term objective of 60%, reflecting revenue growth and operating efficiencies achieved through previous and ongoing investments.
In the second quarter of 2016, the Company recorded provision for loan and lease losses totaling $2.8 million, compared to $525,000 in the linked quarter and $520,000 in the second quarter of 2015. Second quarter 2016 provision primarily reflected a $2.2 million increase in new specific reserves and net charge-offs related to two loan relationships and an $816,000 increase in specific reserves related to one energy sector loan, which was previously identified as impaired in the fourth quarter of 2015. The above increases were tempered by improvements in underlying credit metrics in the remaining loan and lease portfolio.
Net charge-offs of $1.3 million represented an annualized 0.35% of average loans and leases for the second quarter of 2016. Annualized net charge-offs measured 0.04% and 0.00% of average loans and leases in the linked quarter and second quarter of 2015, respectively. Net charge-offs of $1.4 million represented an annualized 0.20% of average loans and leases for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $334,000 and 0.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
The effective tax rate was 30.5% in the second quarter of 2016, compared to 34.2% in the linked quarter and 33.7% in the second quarter of 2015. The effective tax rate was 32.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 33.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Balance Sheet
Period-end loans and leases grew for the seventeenth consecutive quarter, reaching $1.452 billion at June 30, 2016. Loans and leases increased $3.2 million, or 0.2%, from March 31, 2016 and $102.5 million, or 7.6%, from June 30, 2015. On an average basis, loans and leases of $1.460 billion increased by $141.5 million, or 10.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2015. Loan growth was slower than typically generated in a second quarter period, primarily due to elevated payoffs in the asset-based lending business.
Period-end in-market deposits - consisting of all transaction accounts, money market accounts and non-wholesale deposits - increased to $1.131 billion, or 70.3% of total deposits, at June 30, 2016. Period-end wholesale deposits were $477.1 million at June 30, 2016, consisting of brokered certificates of deposit and deposits gathered through internet deposit listing services of $397.1 million and $80.0 million, respectively. In order to reduce interest-rate risk, the Company uses wholesale deposits to efficiently match-fund fixed rate loans. Over time, management expects to maintain a ratio of in-market deposits to total deposits in line with the Company's recent historical range of 60%-70%.
Asset Quality
Management continues to believe the Company’s credit culture is a core competency which differentiates First Business from other banks. However, in the second quarter, deterioration in certain credits had an impact on the Company’s loan loss provision and non-performing asset levels at June 30, 2016. Management took measures in the second quarter to determine the cause of the credit losses and isolated the issues. Subsequently, management has modified reporting structures and reinforced policies and procedures to ensure future lending meets the high standards long established within the First Business franchise.
Non-performing assets totaled $24.2 million at June 30, 2016, increasing by $4.7 million, or 24.0%, compared to $19.5 million at March 31, 2016 and increasing by $7.2 million, or 42.1%, compared to $17.1 million at June 30, 2015. As a percent of total assets, non-performing assets measured 1.33% at June 30, 2016, compared to 1.09% and 1.01% at the end of the linked quarter and year-ago quarter, respectively.
While non-performing assets increased, criticized assets decreased $8.3 million, or 23.3%, to $27.3 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $35.6 million at the end of the linked quarter.
As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s direct exposure to the energy sector was $7.1 million, or 0.49% of total gross loans and leases, with no remaining unfunded commitments. This reflects a decrease of $558,000, or 7.3%, compared to linked quarter entirely due to payments received. The associated reserve for loan and lease losses related to this portfolio was increased to 20.43% at June 30, 2016, compared to 8.25% at March 31, 2016. Of this population, $5.7 million was considered non-performing as of June 30, 2016. After considering specific reserves, management believes the portfolio is adequately collateralized as of the end of the reporting period.
Capital Strength
The Company's earnings continue to generate capital, and its capital ratios are expected to exceed the highest required regulatory benchmark levels. As of June 30, 2016, total capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.44%, tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 9.08%, tier 1 leverage capital to adjusted assets was 8.63% and common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 8.50%.
Quarterly Dividend
As previously announced, during the second quarter of 2016 the Company's Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share. The dividend was paid on May 27, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2016. Measured against second quarter 2016 diluted earnings per share of $0.43, the dividend represents what the Company believes is a sustainable 28% payout ratio. The Board of Directors routinely considers dividend declarations as part of its normal course of business.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
Certain financial information provided in this release is determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (United States) (“GAAP”). Although the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of its business, these measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies.
TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE
“Tangible book value per share” is a non-GAAP measure representing tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding. “Tangible common equity” itself is a non-GAAP measure representing common stockholders’ equity reduced by intangible assets, if any. The Company’s management believes that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in period-to-period changes in book value per common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. The information provided below reconciles tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to their most comparable GAAP measures.

TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY TO TANGIBLE ASSETS
‘‘Tangible common equity to tangible assets’’ is defined as the ratio of common stockholders’ equity reduced by intangible assets, if any, divided by total assets reduced by intangible assets, if any. The Company’s management believes that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. The information below reconciles tangible common equity and tangible assets to their most comparable GAAP measures.

EFFICIENCY RATIO
“Efficiency ratio” is a non-GAAP measure representing non-interest expense excluding the effects of losses or gains on foreclosed properties, other discrete items that are unrelated to the Company’s primary business activities and amortization of other intangible assets, if any, divided by operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus non-interest income less realized gains or losses on securities, if any. In the judgment of the Company’s management, the adjustments made to non-interest expense and operating revenue allow investors and analysts to better assess the Company’s operating expenses in relation to its core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain one-time items and other discrete items that are unrelated to its business. The information provided below reconciles the efficiency ratio to its most comparable GAAP measure.
