Berkshire Hills Reports 63% Increase in First Quarter Earnings; Dividend Declared
PR Newswire
BOSTON, April 23, 2018
BOSTON, April 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. BHLB reported first quarter 2018 net income of $25 million, which was a 63% increase over 2017 first quarter results of $15 million. This reflected the ongoing benefit of the Company's growth and expansion, together with the benefit of a lower federal tax rate resulting from federal tax reform near the end of 2017.
FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (income statement comparisons are year over year and balance sheet growth is compared to prior quarter-end):
- $0.55 GAAP EPS
- $0.65 Core EPS
- 13% increase in net revenue
- 30% increase in loan and deposit related fee income
- 4% annualized loan growth; 3% annualized C&I loan growth
- 3% increase in average deposits
- 3.36% net interest margin
- 59.5% efficiency ratio
- 0.27% non-performing assets/assets
- 0.17% net loan charge-offs/average loans
CEO Michael Daly stated, "We had a solid start to the year, delivering ongoing growth while integrating our new Commerce operations. With the benefit of greater efficiency, GAAP return on assets improved to 0.88% and core return on assets improved to 1.04%. We expect continued momentum in the second quarter where GAAP return on assets will improve to over 1.00% and core return on assets will improve to over 1.10%. We formally opened our new Boston corporate headquarters, which also serves as a regional hub for Greater Boston relationship teams. We added additional bankers both in Boston and in the Princeton, NJ area. We also opened a new branch in Simsbury, CT, which uses a combination of virtual teller technology and MyBanker relationship professionals to provide enhanced customer support and product availability."
DIVIDEND DECLARED
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per common share to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 10, 2018, payable on May 24, 2018. The dividend equates to a 2.3% annualized yield based on the $37.88 average closing price of Berkshire Hills Bancorp common stock during the first quarter. The Board also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.44 per share for the preferred stock issued in conjunction with the Commerce acquisition, with the same record and payment dates as above. The quarterly common and preferred dividends were increased in the prior quarter by 5%.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets ended the first quarter of 2018 at $11.5 billion. Both commercial loans and residential mortgages contributed to the 4% annualized increase in total loans. Period-end deposit balances are impacted by daily fluctuations related to payroll processing. Average deposits increased by 3% compared to the prior quarter. Asset quality metrics remained strong. Delinquency metrics increased due to one commercial credit which is expected to remain accruing and is in the process of collection. Metrics related to capital, liquidity, and book value per share were generally stable compared to the start of the year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First quarter revenue and expense included the full quarter impact of the Commerce operations acquired on October 13, 2017. 2018 first quarter net income totaled $25 million, which was a 63% increase over 2017 first quarter results of $15 million. Earnings per share increased by 25% to $0.55, including the impact of additional shares issued in 2017. First quarter core earnings per share improved by 18% to $0.65 per share in 2018 compared $0.55 in 2017. The measure of core earnings per share excludes amounts viewed as not related to normalized operations. In the most recent quarter these were primarily related to the integration of the Commerce operations.
Quarterly net revenue totaled $115 million in the most recent quarter, and included the impact of lower mortgage banking fees, which was partially offset by seasonal gains in wealth and insurance fee income compared to the prior quarter. The net interest margin decreased to 3.36% from 3.50% in the prior quarter. The contribution from purchased loan accretion decreased by 0.08%. Additionally, the contribution of taxable equivalent securities yields decreased by 0.05% as a result of lower federal income taxes. The cost of funds increased due to change in deposit mix and higher deposit and borrowings funding costs as a result of increases in short term market interest rates. The first quarter loan loss provision was $5.6 million and exceeded the net loan charge-offs recorded during the period.
Total first quarter non-interest expense decreased by 15% compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to lower non-core Commerce merger charges. Total core expense increased by 1% including a full quarter of the new Commerce operations. The efficiency ratio measured 59.5%, including the benefit of expense reductions in mortgage banking. Total full-time equivalent staff measured 1,941 positions at quarter-end, compared to 1,992 positions at the start of the year. The first quarter effective income tax rate was 22% in 2018 compared to 30% in 2017, reflecting the benefit of federal income tax reform which became effective in 2018.

BACKGROUND
Berkshire Hills Bancorp is the parent of Berkshire Bank - America's Most Exciting Bank®. The Company has approximately $11.5 billion in assets and 114 full service branches in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania providing personal and business banking, insurance, and wealth management services. The Company also offers mortgages and specialized commercial lending services in targeted national markets.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are several factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from expectations described in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of such factors, please see Berkshire's most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Berkshire does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures provide supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. They are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is included on page F-9 in the accompanying financial tables. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP per share measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders.
The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of core earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for core revenue and expense. These measures exclude items which the Company does not view as related to its normalized operations. These items primarily include securities gains/losses, merger costs, and restructuring costs. Securities gains/losses include unrealized gains/losses on equity securities beginning in the first quarter of 2018. Charges related to merger and acquisition activity consist primarily of severance/benefit related expenses, contract termination costs, systems conversion costs, variable compensation expenses, and professional fees. These charges in 2017 and 2018 are primarily related to business combinations with First Choice Bank and Commerce Bancshares Corp. Restructuring costs generally consist of costs and losses associated with the disposition of assets and liabilities and lease terminations, including costs related to branch sales. Additionally, the Company recorded charges for hedge terminations in the first quarter of 2017 and legal settlement costs during the year.
Non-core adjustments are presented net of an adjustment for income tax expense. This adjustment is determined as the difference between the GAAP tax rate and the effective tax rate applicable to core income. The efficiency ratio is adjusted for non-core revenue and expense items and for tax preference items. The Company also calculates measures related to tangible equity, which adjust equity (and assets where applicable) to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community.
