Signature Bank SBNY, a New York-based full-service commercial bank, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2018. Net income for the 2018 second quarter was $154.6 million, or $2.83 diluted earnings per share, versus $14.0 million, or $0.26 diluted earnings per share, for the 2017 second quarter. The increase in net income for the 2018 second quarter, versus the comparable quarter last year, is due to a decrease of $179.6 million in the provision for loan losses nearly all attributable to the New York City taxi medallion portfolio.
Net interest income for the 2018 second quarter reached $321.0 million, up $13.8 million, or 4.5 percent, when compared with the 2017 second quarter. This increase is primarily due to growth in average interest-earning assets. Total assets reached $45.22 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $4.50 billion, or 11.0 percent, from $40.72 billion at June 30, 2017. Average assets for the 2018 second quarter reached $44.58 billion, an increase of $4.27 billion, or 10.6 percent, compared with the 2017 second quarter.
Deposits during the 2018 second quarter rose $176.0 million, or 0.5 percent, to $34.99 billion at June 30, 2018, affected by a decrease of $918.2 million in escrow deposits. When compared with deposits at June 30, 2017, overall deposit growth for the last twelve months was 5.5 percent, or $1.83 billion. Average deposits for the 2018 second quarter reached $34.46 billion, an increase of $237.0 million, or 0.7 percent.
"Signature Bank's solid earnings and growth this quarter, coupled with both the positive impact of the $50 billion SIFI mark moving higher and tax reform has enabled us to declare an inaugural quarterly cash dividend of $0.56 per share to our common shareholders, representing an annualized dividend of $2.24 per share. We are proud of our colleagues who work hard for our clients every day, and we believe those efforts show through in our results and in returns for our shareholders," explained Joseph J. DePaolo, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Additionally, Signature Bank continues to make the necessary investments to further our progress. Recent initiatives indicative of the Bank's plan for sustained growth include the hiring of private client banking teams in both New York and San Francisco, where we are now building a strong Signature Bank presence. We are strengthening our infrastructure with a new loan system soon to be in place. We are investing in a new credit approval system, foreign exchange system and an enhanced payments platform, to which we previously alluded. All these efforts are augmenting Signature Bank's solid foundation and will allow us to further our growth initiatives," DePaolo said.
"The recent passing of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act by Congress bodes well for banks like ours. Raising the SIFI designation threshold from $50 billion to $250 billion will foster greater competition by affording banks of varying size more opportunity within the banking industry," said Scott A. Shay, Chairman of the Board.
"In turn, this will prove beneficial for small and medium-sized businesses as they stand to gain better access to capital. Now, nimble, medium-sized banks such as Signature Bank will be better positioned to more effectively compete with the too-big-to-fail megabanks, and the commercial banking landscape will offer better options to growing companies thereby further stimulating economic growth," Shay concluded.
Capital
The Bank's Tier 1 leverage, common equity Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based capital ratios were approximately 9.64 percent, 12.10 percent, 12.10 percent, and 13.42 percent, respectively, as of June 30, 2018. Each of these ratios is well in excess of regulatory requirements. The Bank's strong risk-based capital ratios reflect the relatively low risk profile of the Bank's balance sheet. The Bank's tangible common equity ratio remains strong at 9.10 percent. The Bank defines tangible common equity ratio as the ratio of tangible common equity to adjusted tangible assets and calculates this ratio by dividing total consolidated common shareholders' equity by consolidated total assets.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the 2018 second quarter was $321.0 million, an increase of $13.8 million, or 4.5 percent, versus the same period last year, primarily due to growth in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets of $43.89 billion for the 2018 second quarter represent an increase of $4.15 billion, or 10.4 percent, from the 2017 second quarter. Yield on interest-earning assets for the 2018 second quarter increased 16 basis points to 3.82 percent, compared with the 2017 second quarter.
Average cost of deposits and average cost of funds for the second quarter of 2018 increased by 27 basis points and 35 basis points, to 0.76 percent and 0.96 percent, respectively versus the 2017 second quarter.
Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the 2018 second quarter was 2.94 percent versus 3.11 percent reported in the same period a year ago. On a linked quarter basis, net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis decreased seven basis points. Excluding loan prepayment penalties in both quarters, linked quarter core net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis decreased six basis points to 2.89 percent.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Bank's provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2018 was $8.0 million, compared with $140.8 million for the 2018 first quarter and $187.6 million for the 2017 second quarter. The elevated provisions for the 2018 first quarter and the 2017 second quarter were due to the New York City taxi medallion loan portfolio.
Net charge-offs for the 2018 second quarter were $3.0 million, or 0.04 percent of average loans on an annualized basis, versus $128.3 million, or 1.58 percent, for the 2018 first quarter and $229.0 million, or 3.04 percent, for the 2017 second quarter. The elevated level of charge-offs for the 2018 first quarter and the 2017 second quarter were due to the taxi medallion portfolio.
Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest income for the 2018 second quarter was $5.6 million, down $4.0 million when compared with $9.6 million reported in the 2017 second quarter. The decrease was due to a $3.8 million increase in tax credit investment amortization. These investments positively impact our effective tax rate.
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2018 was $112.6 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 3.2 percent, versus $116.3 million reported in the 2017 second quarter. The decrease was primarily a result of write-downs of $11.5 million on repossessed New York City taxi medallion loans that occurred in the 2017 second quarter. This decrease was partially offset by increases in salaries and benefits from the addition of new private client banking teams.
The Bank's efficiency ratio decreased to 34.5 percent for the 2018 second quarter versus 36.7 percent for the comparable period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in other general and administrative expenses of $13.7 million primarily due to the absence of write-downs on repossessed New York City taxi medallion loans.
Loans
Loans, excluding loans held for sale, grew $900.3 million, or 2.7 percent, during the second quarter of 2018 to $34.15 billion, compared with $33.25 billion at March 31, 2018. At June 30, 2018, loans accounted for 75.5 percent of total assets, versus 74.8 percent at the end of the 2018 first quarter and 74.6 percent at the end of 2017 second quarter. Average loans, excluding loans held for sale, reached $33.67 billion in the 2018 second quarter, growing $732.7 million, or 2.2 percent, from the 2018 first quarter and $3.50 billion, or 11.6 percent, from the 2017 second quarter. The increase in loans for the quarter was primarily driven by growth in commercial and industrial lending, specialty finance, multi-family and commercial real estate loans.
At June 30, 2018, non-accrual loans were $158.1 million, representing 0.46 percent of total loans and 0.35 percent of total assets, compared with non-accrual loans of $168.7 million, or 0.51 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2018 and $392.9 million, or 1.29 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2017. Excluding non-accruing loans secured by taxi medallions of $134.6 million, non-accrual loans for the remainder of the entire portfolio are $23.4 million, or seven basis points of total loans. At June 30, 2018, the ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans was 0.62 percent, versus 0.63 percent at March 31, 2018 and 0.60 percent at June 30, 2017. Additionally, the ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to non-accrual loans, or the coverage ratio, was 135 percent for the 2018 second quarter versus 124 percent for the first quarter of 2018 and 46 percent for the 2017 second quarter.

(4) | Â | We define tangible common equity as the ratio of total tangible common equity to total tangible assets (the "TCE ratio"). Tangible common equity is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The TCE ratio is a metric used by management to evaluate the adequacy of our capital levels. In addition to tangible common equity, management uses other metrics, such as Tier 1 capital related ratios, to evaluate capital levels. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for related calculation. |

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES |
(unaudited) |
 |
Management believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP financial measures assists investors when comparing results period-to-period in a more consistent manner and provides a better measure of Signature Bank's results. These non-GAAP measures include the Bank's i) Net income and diluted earnings per share (as reported) to net income and diluted earnings per share excluding write-downs and fair value adjustments for the taxi medallion portfolio,(ii) tangible common equity ratio, (iii) efficiency ratio,(iv) yield on interest-earning assets, tax-equivalent basis, and (v) core net interest margin, tax-equivalent basis excluding loan prepayment penalty income. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures and results. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. |
