The Palmetto Bank Reports First Quarter Net Income of $2.7 Million
Net Loan Growth of $27.0 Million (3.4%) and Deposit Growth of $38.7 Million (4.2%),
from the Fourth Quarter 2014
Greenville, S.C. – ☐Palmetto Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLMT) (the “Company”) reported first quarter 2015 net income of $2.7 million ($0.21 per diluted common share) compared to $3.3 million ($0.26 per diluted common share) for the fourth quarter 2014. The primary variance between these two quarters related to the provision for loans losses which was $400 thousand in the first quarter 2015 and negative $1.8 million in the fourth quarter 2014. Income before provision for income taxes and provision for loan losses was $4.6 million in the first quarter 2015 compared to $3.4 million in the fourth quarter 2014. The Company also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per common share payable on May 18, 2015 to shareholders of record on May 4, 2015.
“Our financial results for the first quarter reflect the underlying strength of our franchise as evidenced by our strong loan growth, increased core deposits, higher noninterest income and lower expenses,” said Samuel L. Erwin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Entering 2015, we believed that our hard work over the past few years would manifest itself in our financial results this year, and our first quarter results are tangible confirmation of our efforts. The strong results were across all of our lines of business in Commercial, Retail and Wealth Management as we continued to serve our clients in the personal and business aspects of their lives.”
Highlights for the first quarter 2015 are summarized as follows, and the discussion of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition is supplemented by the accompanying financial tables.
● | Net income was $2.7 million, a decrease of $586 thousand from the fourth quarter 2014. |
| | o | The decrease was driven primarily by a return to a more normalized provision for loan losses, and two fewer days in the quarter as compared to the prior quarter. |
● | Net interest income increased $192 thousand from the fourth quarter 2014. |
| | o | The increase in net interest income was partially offset by two fewer days in the first quarter 2015 as compared to the fourth quarter 2014.Net interest margin increased 2 basis points from the fourth quarter 2014 to 3.72% due to an increase in average loans of $41.9 million, lower reversals of accrued interest on nonaccrual loans and higher other earning asset balances and yields. |
| | o | The overall yield on the loan portfolio continued to decline as higher-yielding loans matured and were replaced with new loan originations and purchases at lower rates in the current low interest rate and competitive banking environment. |
| | o | The overall cost of deposits, including noninterest bearing deposits, declined one basis point to 0.04% during the first quarter 2015, reflecting a reduction in time deposit rates and the Company’s strong core deposit franchise. Core deposits, defined as total deposits less time deposits $100 thousand and over, represent 93% of total deposits at March 31, 2015. |
● | Theprovision for loan losses was $400 thousand compared to a negative provision of $1.8 million in the fourth quarter 2014. |
| | o | The provision in the first quarter 2015 reflects a provision for growth in the loan portfolio, offset by a continued reduction in the level of the allowance for loan losses coverage ratio to reflect continued improvement in the risk profile of the loan portfolio and lower charge-offs. |
| | o | The allowance for loan losses coverage ratio was 1.55% at March 31, 2015 compared to 1.60% at December 31, 2014. Absent unexpected negative trends in credit quality, the Company expects its allowance for loan losses coverage ratio to be further reduced in 2015. |
● | Noninterest income increased $267 thousand from the fourth quarter 2014. |
| | o | Mortgage banking income increased $376 thousand due to an increase in mortgage loan sales of $9.2 million and an increase in income from the market value adjustment for mortgage banking derivatives. The increase in mortgage loan sales reflects a higher level of overall mortgage loan production, as well as a return to an “originate-to-sell” strategy during the first quarter 2015. |
| | o | Gain on sales of SBA loans was $123 thousand during the first quarter 2015. There were no sales of SBA loans during the fourth quarter 2014. |
| | o | Fees for trust and investment management and brokerage services increased $46 thousand due to increased account activity and growth in assets under management. |
| | o | These increases were partially offset by a seasonal reduction of $312 thousand in nonsufficient funds, overdraft, service charges on deposits and debit card/ATM income. Income from these sources continues to benefit from the revenue enhancement initiatives implemented in 2014. |
● | Noninterest expense decreased $692 thousand during the first quarter 2015. |
| | o | The provision for unfunded commitments declined $587 thousand due to a change in the mix of unfunded commitments to lend. |
| | o | Foreclosed real estate writedowns and expenses and loan workout expenses declined $296 thousand as a result of continued improvement in credit quality. Results for the first quarter 2015 and fourth quarter 2014 included gains of $197 thousand and $290 thousand, respectively, on the individual sale of two and five lots, respectively, in a single real estate development. |
| | o | Professional services expense declined $142 thousand. Results for the fourth quarter 2014 included the final expenses associated with the Company’s revenue enhancement project completed in 2014. |
| | o | The decline in noninterest expense was partially offset by increases in salaries and other personnel expense and FDIC deposit insurance assessments. Salaries and other personnel expense in the first quarter 2015 reflects a seasonal increase in payroll-related taxes of $114 thousand and annual merit increases, as well as normalized levels of pension expense and incentive accruals. Results for the fourth quarter 2014 included a one-time reduction in FDIC insurance to reflect improvement in the risk tier of the Company’s banking subsidiary, The Palmetto Bank (the “Bank”). |
| | o | First quarter 2015 results included the continuing benefits of various process improvement projects implemented during 2014 such as transition to part-time staffing in the branches, direct recruiting in lieu of paying staffing agencies, consolidation of telephone providers and renegotiation of equipment maintenance contracts. |
● | Total period-endloans held for investment increased $27.0 million reflecting organic growth in commercial and consumer loans and the purchase of $12.3 million of hybrid adjustable rate residential mortgage loans. |
| | o | Organic loan balances increased $18.1 million (2.4%) on a linked-quarter basis. The face amount of organic loan origination volume was $84 million during the first quarter 2015 compared to $87 million during the fourth quarter 2014. |
● | Non-maturity deposits increased $46.2 million whiletime deposits decreased $7.6 million. |
| | o | The increase in non-maturity deposits includes $10.5 million of trust account deposits placed with the Bank during the first quarter 2015 and the results of refined consumer and business strategies to grow balances through new money deposits. During the first quarter 2015, the Company also implemented a retention strategy to proactively reach out to time deposit clients in an effort to retain maturing time deposit balances. This strategy contributed to increased retention of maturing time deposits during the first quarter 2015 as compared to the fourth quarter 2014. |
| | o | The Company remains focused on executing specific strategies to grow core deposits through increasing balances in existing accounts as well as through growth in the number of new households. These strategies include proactively retaining clients, attracting new clients including in markets with local bank disruption, utilizing teammates with specialized deposit product knowledge, providing rewards programs for referrals and use of debit cards, and enhancing existing deposit products. Growth in deposits is expected to be used primarily to fund future loan growth. |
● | Nonperforming assets decreased $2.3 million from the fourth quarter 2014 to $16.1 million, reflecting ongoing repayments and dispositions of problem loans and foreclosed assets. |
| | o | Net charge-offs were $406 thousand (0.20% of average loans, annualized) during the first quarter 2015 compared to $646 thousand (0.33% of average loans, annualized) during the fourth quarter 2014. |
| | o | Past due loans were 0.36% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2015 compared to 0.51% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2014 and have remained below 1.00% for nine consecutive quarters. |
● | The Bank met all regulatory required minimum capital ratios and continued to be categorized as “well-capitalized” at March 31, 2015. |
“We are very pleased with our financial results for the first quarter, which were a result of the successful execution of our strategies to generate growth in quality earning assets, increase deposits through growth in households, and realize the ongoing benefits from our revenue enhancement and expense reduction initiatives implemented during 2014,” continued Erwin. “We expect to continue our focus on earning asset and deposit growth over the remainder of the year and believe we are well positioned to achieve our objectives.”

Non-GAAP Reconciliation
Pre-tax, pre-provision income, which is derived by adding provision for loan losses to pre-tax income, is a non-GAAP financial measure which should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results. Management believes this information helps investors understand the effect of provision for loan losses on reported results and provides an alternate presentation of the Company’s performance.
