Unity Bancorp Reports 35% Increase In Third Quarter Earnings
CLINTON, N.J., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Unity Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $1.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, a 35.3% increase compared to $1.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the prior year’s comparable quarter. Return on average assets and average common equity for the third quarter of 2003, were 1.14% and 17.70%, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net income was $3.7 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, a 35.9% increase from the $2.7 million, or $0.46 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. Return on average assets and average common equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, were 1.11% and 17.37%, respectively, as compared to 0.90% and 13.55%, respectively, from the prior year period.
“This is our fifteenth consecutive quarter of improved operating results and I am optimistic about continuing these favorable trends,” said Unity President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony J. Feraro. “We continue to capitalize on opportunities in our markets, enabling us to strengthen our customer base and grow our earnings.”
Net interest income was $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2003, compared to $4.1 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. Net interest margin was 4.18% for the third quarter of 2003 compared to 4.15% a year ago. The Company’s net interest margin improved from a year ago primarily due to the lower cost of funds, however, it is down from the 4.39% net interest margin in the second quarter of 2003 due to pay downs of higher yielding assets being reinvested in a lower rate environment.
The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2003 was $375 thousand, unchanged from the same period last year. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, was $1.2 million compared to $2.0 million from the prior year period. The decline in the year-to-date provision is due to the lower level of charge offs. Net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $359 thousand, compared to $1.3 million in the prior year period.
Total non-interest income for the third quarter of 2003 was $2.1 million, a 31.0% increase compared to the same period last year. The increase is due to higher levels of servicing income, referral fees and gains on SBA loan sales. Gains on sales of SBA loans amounted to $0.8 million for the third quarter, compared to $0.7 million for the same period last year. Service charges on deposits increased 7.1% over the prior year as a result of increased fees and a larger deposit base. Service and loan fees increased 58.1% from the prior year quarter due to increased levels of serviced loans, referral fees and prepayment penalties. Other income for the third quarter increased to $0.3 million, a 151.2% increase from the prior year’s comparable
quarter primarily due to increased title insurance revenue.
Total non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 2003 were $4.2 million, an increase of 8.8% from the prior year’s comparable quarter. The increase from the prior year’s quarter was primarily due to increased compensation and benefit costs associated with merit increases and an increased head count. Loan collection expenses increased 116.3% from the prior year’s comparable quarter to $225 thousand in an effort to reduce non-performing assets. In addition, the Company has increased its advertising costs 58.8% to $162 thousand over the prior year comparable quarter in an effort to continue to expand market share.
Total assets at September 30, 2003 were $451 million, a 6.3% increase from a year ago. The increase in assets from the prior year was primarily due to growth in the Company’s loan portfolio. Total loans at September 30, 2003 were $321.6 million, a 5.9% increase from a year ago. The growth in the loan portfolio occurred primarily in commercial loans, which totaled $176.6 million at September 30, 2003, an increase of 14.4% from a year ago. SBA loans held for investment were $47.9 million at September 30, 2003, an 8.9% increase from a year ago. SBA loans held for sale were $10.6 million at September 30, 2003, a 24.8% decrease from the prior year due to loan sales. Due to continued significant prepayments, residential mortgage loans declined 19.0% from the prior year’s quarter and totaled $52.0 million at September 30, 2003. At September 30, 2003, consumer loans increased 28.1% from the prior year’s comparable quarter to $34.5 million, primarily due to the growth in the Company’s home equity loan portfolio.
Total deposits at September 30, 2003 were $399.5 million, a 6.8% increase from the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of growth in “Opportunity Checking,” Unity’s premier interest-bearing checking product. Non-interest bearing accounts totaled $87.8 million at September 30, 2003, up 22.8% from a year ago.
“Our loan production for the third quarter was strong, however the commercial and SBA loan portfolios were impacted this quarter by the unusually large number of payoffs,” said Mr. Feraro. “Our loan pipeline continues to be robust and we are hopeful that we will continue to grow the balance sheet next quarter.”
At September 30, 2003, the allowance for loan losses was 1.54% of total loans, compared to 1.25% a year ago. Non-performing assets at September 30, 2003 were $4.3 million, compared to $3.2 million a year ago. Included in non-performing assets this quarter is a $1.3 million commercial mortgage that is well collateralized, however, the borrower has defaulted due to cash flow problems. Included in non-performing assets at September 30, 2003, are approximately $1.2 million of loans that are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.
Total shareholders’ equity was $29.6 million at September 30, 2003, a 10.9% increase from the prior year. The increase in equity over the prior year was due to retained profits and the exercise of common stock warrants, somewhat offset by the buyback of common stock, cash dividends and accumulated unrealized comprehensive loss.
As of September 30, 2003, Unity Bank’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 6.97%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 9.27%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 12.29%. As of September 30, 2003, Unity Bancorp Inc.’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.50%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.39%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 12.64%. All regulatory capital ratios exceed the well-capitalized federal capital adequacy requirements as of September 30, 2003.
