INDEPENDENT BANK CORPORATION REPORTS
2015 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 27, 2015 - Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP) reported second quarter 2015 net income of $5.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, versus net income of $6.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported net income of $9.4 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.
Second quarter 2015 highlights include:
| · | A $0.3 million, or 4.4%, year-over-year increase in pre-tax income. |
| · | A $1.0 million, or 4.3%, year-over-year decrease in total non-interest expenses. |
| · | Total net loan growth of $27.0 million, or 7.6% annualized. |
| · | Improvement in asset quality, with non-performing assets down 17.8% during the quarter. |
| · | An increase in tangible book value per share to $11.06 at June 30, 2015 from $10.94 at Mar. 31, 2015. |
| · | The payment of a six cent per share dividend on common stock on May 15, 2015. |
William B. (“Brad”) Kessel, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Independent Bank Corporation, commented: “We are very pleased to report strong overall results for the second quarter of 2015. Solid loan growth and mortgage loan originations and sales, as well as our continuing efforts to reduce non-interest expenses, contributed to a 4.4% increase in our pre-tax income. Further, despite continued pressure from the low interest rate environment, we did achieve growth in net interest income on both a year-over-year and sequential quarterly comparative basis. As to two previously announced initiatives, we completed the consolidation of six branch offices on Apr. 30, 2015, and we acquired approximately 207,000 shares of our common stock under our share repurchase plan during the second quarter. Finally, we expect to close on the sale of our Midland, Michigan branch on Aug. 28, 2015. We anticipate that this transaction will result in a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2015 (assuming a deposit level of $14.0 million for calculating the 6% deposit premium).”
Operating Results
The Company’s net interest income totaled $18.7 million during the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $0.2 million, or 0.9% from the year-ago period, and up by $0.6 million, or 3.4% from the first quarter of 2015. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets (the “net interest margin”) was 3.62% during the second quarter of 2015, compared to 3.74% in the year-ago period, and 3.57% in the first quarter of 2015. The year-over-year quarterly increase in net interest income is due to an increase in average interest-earning assets that was only partially offset by a decline in the net interest margin. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily due to the prolonged low interest rate environment that has resulted in declining year-over-year average yields on the Company’s loan portfolio. Average interest-earning assets were $2.08 billion in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $2.01 billion in the year ago quarter and $2.06 billion in the first quarter of 2015.
For the first six months of 2015, net interest income totaled $36.8 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.6% from 2014. The Company’s net interest margin for the first six months of 2015 decreased to 3.60% compared to 3.76% in 2014. The decrease in net interest income for the first six months of 2015 is due to the decline in the net interest margin that was only partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets.
Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $3.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, representing decreases of 11.7% and 9.4%, respectively, from the comparable year ago periods. The decline in service charges is due principally to a decrease in non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) occurrences and related NSF fees.
Interchange income totaled $2.2 million and $4.4 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, representing increases of 8.4% and 9.3%, respectively, over the year ago comparative periods. The increase in interchange income in 2015 as compared to 2014 primarily results from a new Debit Brand Agreement with MasterCard (which replaced our former agreement with VISA) that was executed in Jan. 2014. The Company began converting its debit card base to MasterCard in June 2014 and completed the conversion in Sept. 2014.
Net gains on mortgage loans were $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $1.5 million in the year-ago quarter. For the first six months of 2015, net gains on mortgage loans totaled $3.9 million compared to $2.6 million in 2014. Mortgage loan origination and sales volumes have increased in 2015 principally due to a rise in refinance volume resulting from a year-over-year decrease in mortgage loan interest rates.
Mortgage loan servicing generated income of $1.5 million and $0.2 million in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The quarterly comparative variance is due primarily to the change in the impairment reserve (a $1.2 million recovery of previously recorded impairment charges in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to a $0.2 million impairment charge in the year-ago quarter) that was partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in the amortization of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights. For the first six months of 2015, mortgage loan servicing generated income of $1.0 million compared to income of $0.5 million in 2014. Capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights totaled $12.5 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $12.1 million at Dec. 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2015, the Company serviced approximately $1.65 billion in mortgage loans for others on which servicing rights have been capitalized.
Non-interest expenses totaled $21.6 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $22.6 million in the year-ago period. For the first six months of 2015, non-interest expenses totaled $43.7 million versus $45.0 million in 2014. Most categories of expenses declined in 2015 as compared to the year ago period, reflecting the Company’s ongoing efforts to reduce non-interest expenses and improve its efficiency ratio.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.6 million and $4.4 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively. This compares to an income tax expense of $1.8 million and $3.3 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively. The second quarter and year-to-date 2014 income tax expense was reduced by a credit of approximately $0.7 million due to a true-up of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits relative to certain net operating loss carryforwards and the reversal of the valuation allowance on a capital loss carryforward that was believed to be more likely than not to be realized due to a strategy executed during the second quarter of 2014 that generated capital gains.
Asset Quality
Commenting on asset quality, President and CEO Kessel added: “We continue to make progress in further improving asset quality, as evidenced by declines in non-performing assets and loan net charge-offs. In addition, thirty- to eighty-nine day delinquency rates at June 30, 2015 were 0.09% for commercial loans and 0.57% for mortgage and consumer loans. These early stage delinquency rates continue to be well-managed.”
A breakdown of non-performing loans(1) by loan type is as follows:
Loan Type | | 6/30/2015 | | | 12/31/2014 | | | 6/30/2014 | |
| | (Dollars in Thousands) | |
Commercial | | $ | 4,233 | | | $ | 4,573 | | | $ | 5,107 | |
Consumer/installment | | | 1,174 | | | | 1,595 | | | | 1,705 | |
Mortgage | | | 6,912 | | | | 9,056 | | | | 10,520 | |
Payment plan receivables(2) | | | 18 | | | | 14 | | | | 11 | |
Total | | $ | 12,337 | | | $ | 15,238 | | | $ | 17,343 | |
Ratio of non-performing loans to total portfolio loans | | | 0.85 | % | | | 1.08 | % | | | 1.26 | % |
Ratio of non-performing assets to total assets | | | 0.73 | % | | | 0.96 | % | | | 1.58 | % |
Ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans | | | 199.29 | % | | | 170.56 | % | | | 162.58 | % |
| (1) | Excludes loans that are classified as “troubled debt restructured” that are still performing. |
| (2) | Represents payment plans for which no payments have been received for 90 days or more and for which Mepco has not yet completed the process to charge the applicable counterparty for the balance due. These balances exclude receivables due from Mepco counterparties related to the cancellation of payment plan receivables. |
Non-performing loans have declined by $2.9 million, or 19.0%, since Dec. 31, 2014 and by $5.0 million, or 28.9%, since June 30, 2014. The decline in non-performing loans primarily reflects loan net charge-offs, pay-offs, negotiated transactions and the migration of loans into ORE. ORE and repossessed assets totaled $4.5 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $6.5 million at Dec. 31, 2014.
The provision for loan losses was a credit of $0.1 million and $1.8 million in the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The provision for loan losses was a credit of $0.8 million and $1.4 million in the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The level of the provision for loan losses in each period reflects the Company’s overall assessment of the allowance for loan losses, taking into consideration factors such as loan mix, levels of non-performing and classified loans and loan net charge-offs. The Company recorded loan net recoveries of $0.04 million (0.01% annualized of average loans) in the second quarter of 2015, compared to loan net charge-offs of $0.4 million (0.12% annualized of average loans) in the second quarter of 2014. Loan net charge-offs were $0.6 million (0.09% of average loans) and $2.7 million (0.40% of average loans) for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The year to date declines in 2015 loan net charge-offs by category were: commercial loans $1.9 million; mortgage loans $0.1 million; and consumer/installment loans $0.1 million. At June 30, 2015, the allowance for loan losses totaled $24.6 million, or 1.70% of portfolio loans, compared to $26.0 million, or 1.84% of portfolio loans, at Dec. 31, 2014.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital
Total assets were $2.29 billion at June 30, 2015, an increase of $40.2 million from Dec. 31, 2014. Loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $1.45 billion at June 30, 2015, compared to $1.41 billion at Dec. 31, 2014. Deposits totaled $1.96 billion at June 30, 2015, an increase of $37.1 million from Dec. 31, 2014. The increase in deposits is primarily due to growth in checking and savings account balances.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $58.3 million at June 30, 2015, versus $74.0 million at Dec. 31, 2014. Securities available for sale totaled $557.7 million at June 30, 2015, versus $533.2 million at Dec. 31, 2014. This $24.5 million increase is primarily due to the purchase of residential mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and municipal securities during the first six months of 2015.
Total shareholders’ equity was $254.4 million at June 30, 2015, or 11.11% of total assets. Tangible common equity totaled $251.9 million at June 30, 2015, or $11.06 per share. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Independent Bank, remains significantly above “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes with the following ratios:
Regulatory Capital Ratios | | 6/30/2015 | | | 12/31/2014 | | | Well Capitalized Minimum | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Tier 1 capital to average total assets | | 9.99 | % | | | 10.46 | % | | | 5.00 | % | |
Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets | | 14.18 | % | | | n/ | a | | | 6.50 | % | |
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets | | 14.18 | % | | | 15.63 | % | | | 8.00 | % | |
Total capital to risk-weighted assets | | 15.45 | % | | | 16.90 | % | | | 10.00 | % | |
