HOUSTON, July 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Green Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:GNBC), the bank holding company ("Green Bancorp" or the "Company") that operates Green Bank, N.A. ("Green Bank"), today announced results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.  The Company reported net income for the quarter of $12.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share.

Manny Mehos, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Green Bancorp, said, "We delivered record second quarter results driven by strong loan growth, significant margin expansion, continued improvement in credit and effective expense control. These strong results clearly highlight the Bank's attractive markets and asset generation potential, efficient branch system, and asset sensitivity now that our energy exposure has largely been removed from our balance sheet. Looking forward, the outlook for the Bank remains promising, as we believe that we have the opportunity to sustain and further improve our financial performance as our markets remain healthy and our infrastructure has ample capacity to scale further."

Geoff Greenwade, President of Green Bancorp and Chief Executive Officer of Green Bank, commented, "I am pleased with the significant progress that we have achieved as well as the outlook for the balance of 2017. Over the first six months of the year, our results have been in line with our expectations with deposits and loans essentially flat as we completed our energy disposition strategy and made solid progress reducing our Commercial Real Estate exposure. As we look forward, the Company is now poised to achieve more normalized and sustainable growth and we remain confident in our outlook for 6-8% annualized loan growth over the remainder of 2017 and on into 2018."

Results of Operations - Quarter Ended June 30, 2017 compared with Quarter Ended March 31, 2017

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $12.9 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 78.8%, compared with $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Net income per diluted common share was $0.35 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared with $0.19 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Returns on average assets and average common equity, each on an annualized basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were 1.26% and 11.62%, respectively. Green Bancorp's efficiency ratio, which represents noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, was 47.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.5 million, primarily related to the energy portfolio.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 increased 8.2% or $2.7 million, to $35.3 million, compared with $32.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase of $2.1 million, or 5.8%, in interest earned on loans due to a $37.5 million, or 1.2%,  increase in the average loan balance along with a 16 basis point increase in the average loan yield and an increase of $1.3 million, or 52.1%, in interest earned on securities due to a $107.0 million, or 18.7%, increase in the average securities balance and a 49 basis point increase in the average securities yield, offset by the increases of $277 thousand in interest expense on other borrowed funds due to an increase in short-term advances during the current quarter, $252 thousand in interest expense on interest bearing demand and savings, and $179 thousand in interest expense on certificates and other time deposits.   The net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 of 3.63% increased from 3.47% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  The improvement in net interest margin was due to the factors discussed above.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $5.7 million, an increase of $204 thousand, or 3.7%, from $5.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  The increase was primarily due to a $376 thousand increase in derivative income, a $360 thousand increase in net gain on sale of held for sale loans, a $294 thousand increase in gain on sale of available for sale securities and a $272 thousand increase in loan fees, offset by a $1.0 million decrease in gain on sale of guaranteed portion of loans due to timing of loan sales.

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $19.6 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 5.9%, from $20.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  The decrease was primarily due to a $724 thousand decrease in provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments, and a $498 thousand decrease in professional and regulatory fees.

Loans held for investment at June 30, 2017 were $3.1 billion, an increase of $111.1 million, or 3.7%, when compared with March 31, 2017.  The increase is primarily due to a $131.4 million increase in commercial and industrial loans, of which $56.2 million was related to mortgage warehouse loans, and a $9.8 million increase in consumer and other loans, offset by a $28.1 million reduction in commercial real estate loans.  During the second quarter of 2017, the Company resolved $6.5 million in energy-related loans, which included $1.0 million in loans held for sale.  At June 30, 2017, energy loans totaled $70.9 million, or 2.3% of total loans, excluding loans held for sale.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, securities increased $129.3 million, or 21.9%, due to the purchase of $430.7 million less sales of $278.9 million in securities, which utilized excess cash. 

Deposits at June 30, 2017 decreased $55.7 million, or 1.6%, compared with March 31, 2017, comprised of decreases of $80.7 million in interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits and $21.8 million in noninterest-bearing deposits, offset by a $46.8 million increase in time deposits.  Average deposits increased $11.6 million, or 0.3%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared with the prior quarter.

We identify certain financial measures discussed in this release as being "non‑GAAP financial measures." In accordance with the SEC's rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non‑GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheet or statements of cash flows. Non‑GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios or statistical measures calculated using exclusively either financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, operating measures or other measures that are not non‑GAAP financial measures or both.

The non‑GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non‑GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures similar or with names similar to the non‑GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this release when comparing such non‑GAAP financial measures.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share.  Tangible book value is a non‑GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as shareholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (b) tangible book value per common share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by shares of common stock outstanding. For tangible book value, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our book value.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total shareholders' equity to tangible common equity and presents our tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share:

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets.  Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non‑GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as shareholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by tangible assets (as described in clause (b)). For common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total shareholders' equity to total assets.

We believe 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. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total shareholders' equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total shareholders' equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets and presents our tangible common equity to tangible assets:

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity.  Return on average tangible common equity is a non‑GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) average tangible common equity as average shareholders' equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) net income less the effect of intangible assets as net income plus amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes; and (c) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by average tangible common equity (as described in clause (b)). For return on average tangible common equity, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average equity.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the return on common equity, exclusive of the impact of intangible assets.  Goodwill and other intangible assets, including core deposit intangibles, have the effect of increasing total shareholders' equity, while not increasing our tangible common equity.  This measure is particularly relevant to acquisitive institutions who may have higher balances in goodwill and other intangible assets than non-acquisitive institutions.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, average tangible common equity to average common equity and net income excluding amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of tax to net income and presents our return on average tangible common equity:

Allowance for Loan Losses less Allowance for Loan Losses on Acquired Loans to Total Loans excluding Acquired Loans.  The allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans to total loans excluding acquired loans is a non‑GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company's financial condition.  Due to the application of purchase accounting, we use this non-GAAP ratio that excludes that impact of these items to evaluate our allowance for loan losses to total loans.  We calculate: (a) total allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans as allowance for loan losses less the allowance for loan losses on acquired loans; (b) total loans excluding acquired loans as total loans less the carrying value of acquired loans accounted for under ASC topics 310-20 and 310-30; and (c) allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans to total loans excluding acquired loans as the allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans (as calculated in clause (a)) divided by total loans excluding acquired loans (as calculated in clause (b)).  For allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans to total loans excluding acquired loans, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is allowance for loan losses to total loans.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in the allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans to total loans excluding acquired loans.  The acquired loans may have a premium or discount associated with them that includes a potential credit loss component with similar characteristics to the allowance for loan losses.  This measure reports the allowance for loan loss coverage to only those loans not accounted for pursuant to ASC topics 310-20 and 310-30 which may assist the investor in evaluating the allowance coverage of loans excluding acquired loans.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, allowance for loan losses less allowance for loan losses on acquired loans to total loans excluding acquired loans:

Allowance for Loan Losses plus Acquired Loan Net Discount to Total Loans adjusted for Acquired Loan Net Discount.  Allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount to total loans adjusted for acquired loan net discount is a non‑GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company's financial condition. We calculate: (a) allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount as allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount, net of accumulated amortization; (b) total loans adjusted for acquired loan net discount as total loans plus acquired loan net discount, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount to total loans adjusted for acquired loan net discount as allowance for loan losses plus acquired loan net discount (as calculated in clause (a)) divided by total loans adjusted for acquired loan net discount (as calculated in clause (b)).  For allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding acquired loans, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is allowance for loan losses to total loans.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in the allowance for loan losses plus the acquired loan net discount to total loans adjusted for the acquired loan net discount.  This measure reports the combined allowance for loan loss and acquired loan net discount (or premium) as a percentage of loans inclusive of the acquired loan net discount (or premium) which may assist the investor in evaluating allowance coverage on loans inclusive of additional discount or premium resulting from purchase accounting adjustments.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, allowance for loan losses plus acquired loans net discount to total loans adjusted for acquired loan net discount:

Pre-tax, Pre-provision Return on Average Assets.  Pre-tax, pre-provision return on average assets is a non‑GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the Company's financial performance. We calculate: (a) pre-tax, pre-provision net income as net income (loss) plus provision (benefit) for income taxes, plus provision for loan losses and (b) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by total average assets.  For pre-tax, pre-provision net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is net income and for pre-tax, pre-provision return on average assets is return on average assets.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in understanding the operating performance of the company before provision for loan losses, which can vary from quarter to quarter, and income taxes.
