Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. GNTY, the parent company of Guaranty Bank & Trust, N.A., today reported financial results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. The company's net income available to common shareholders was $7.4 million, or $0.64 per basic share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to $7.5 million, or $0.65 per basic share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and $6.5 million, or $0.55 per basic share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. In addition to increased net income, earnings per basic share during the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 were impacted by our repurchase of 352,036 shares of common stock between December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019. Return on average assets and average equity for the fourth quarter of 2019 were 1.26% and 11.40%, respectively, compared to 1.28% and 11.73%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2019 and 1.15% and 10.67%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2018.

"We are very satisfied with our fourth quarter and 2019 financial results. During 2019, strategic initiatives and goals that placed increased emphasis on our financial results led to improvements in our net interest margin for the past two quarters, including 19 basis points year-over-year, and increased return on assets for the year. Loan growth has slowed in recent quarters, primarily due to a few large anticipated payoffs, although new originations remain stable. We are in one of the longest credit cycles in history and believe modest loan growth is prudent to maintain strong asset quality, while continuing to foster new, long-term banking relationships with strong borrowers. In the coming year, we will continue to execute on strategic initiatives that were designed to continue improving shareholder value," commented Ty Abston, the company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The company's increase in net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2019, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, of $1.6 million and an increase in noninterest income of $512,000. This was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $1.7 million and income tax provision of $100,000. These factors impacting net earnings are discussed in more detail below.

Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2018 was $20.5 million and $18.9 million, respectively, an increase of $1.6 million, or 8.7%. Net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2018 was 3.79% and 3.58%, respectively. Net interest income was positively affected by achieving higher increases in loan yields than for deposit costs. During the period, loan yield increased from 5.25% for the fourth quarter of 2018 to 5.41% for the fourth quarter of 2019, a change of 16 basis points, while the cost of interest bearing deposits decreased from 1.44% to 1.33% during the same period, a change of eleven basis points. Net interest margin increased from 3.71% in the third quarter of 2019 to 3.79% in the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily due to decreases in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

There was no provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $100,000 in the third quarter of 2019 and $500,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018. The provision for loan losses is primarily reflective of minimal net growth during the respective periods, however, a recovery of $487,000 was also received during the second quarter of 2019 from proceeds of a life insurance policy that collateralized a loan that was charged-off several years ago, thus reducing the need for additional provision in the third and fourth quarter of 2019. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans were 0.72% at December 31, 2019, compared to 0.69% at September 30, 2019, and 0.46% at December 31, 2018. Our nonperforming assets consist primarily of nonaccrual loans, three of which are Small Business Administration (SBA) partially guaranteed loans with combined book balances of $5.6 million as of December 31, 2019 that were acquired in the acquisition of Westbound Bank in June 2018. Management is currently in the process of working with these borrowers to effectuate a plan which would allow for these loans to return to a performing status. Excluding these partially guaranteed SBA loans, non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans at December 31, 2019 would be 0.39%.

Noninterest income increased $512,000, or 12.3%, in the fourth quarter of 2019, to $4.7 million, compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The increase from the same quarter in 2018 was due primarily to an increase in the gain on sales of loans of $343,000, or 78.5%, an increase of $135,000, or 13.4%, in merchant and debit card fees, a $62,000, or 40.1%, increase in bank-owned life insurance income and an $83,000, or 8.8%, increase in service charges during the fourth quarter of 2019. These increases were partially offset be a decrease in other noninterest income of $184,000, or 16.7% from the fourth quarter of 2018.

Noninterest income increased $69,000, or 1.5%, to $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $4.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in other noninterest income of $135,000, or 17.3%, increases in service charges and merchant and debit card fees of $44,000 each, or 4.5% and 4.0%, respectively, and were partially offset by decreases in the gain on sale of loans of $130,000, or 14.3%, and bank-owned life insurance income of $33,000, or 13.4%, from the previous quarter.

Noninterest expense increased $1.7 million, or 11.6%, in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by an increase in employee compensation and benefits expense to $9.3 million, a change of $933,000, or 11.1%, from the same quarter of the prior year due to annual salary increases and 13 employees added to support operational growth, as well as a new location in the Houston MSA. Occupancy expenses also increased $187,000, or 8.1%, from $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, to $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in occupancy expense from the fourth quarter of 2018 resulted primarily from the addition of the new Houston location, as well as relocating into our new corporate offices in Addison, Texas. Software and technology expenses increased by $249,000, or 38.1% compared to the same quarter of the prior year resulting from new software investments to improve online deposit account opening. These increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a decrease in FDIC insurance assessment fees of $146,000, or 100%, and a decrease in director and committee fees of $39,000, or 17.2%, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The company's efficiency ratio in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 64.49%, compared to 63.16% in the same quarter last year.

Noninterest expense increased $802,000, or 5.2%, in the fourth quarter of 2019 to $16.2 million, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $436,000, or 4.9% increase in employee compensation and benefits, which included the effect of annual salary increases that occurred during the fourth quarter, as well as additional accrued expense incurred under the Company's incentive compensation bonus plan. During the fourth quarter, there was a $184,000, or 54.3%, increase in advertising and promotions and a $146,000, or 47.1%, increase in ATM and debit card expense. This was partially offset by a $75,000, or 10.9%, decrease in legal and professional fees from the previous quarter. The company's efficiency ratio in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 64.49%, compared to 62.49% in the prior quarter.

Consolidated assets for the company totaled $2.32 billion at December 31, 2019 and $2.33 billion at September 30, 2019, compared to $2.27 billion at December 31, 2018. Gross loans decreased 1.7%, or $30.0 million, to $1.71 billion at December 31, 2019, compared to loans of $1.74 billion at September 30, 2019. Gross loans increased 2.8%, or $46.9 million, from $1.66 billion at December 31, 2018. The decrease in gross loans from the third to fourth quarter of 2019 was effected by the payoff during the fourth quarter of three large participation purchased relationships from other banks that had book balances of approximately $43.4 million. New loan originations during the fourth quarter of 2019 were $167.9 million, of which $124.6 million was funded on the origination date, compared to new loan originations in the third quarter of $215.4 million, of which $142.1 million was funded on the origination date. Deposits decreased by 0.3%, or $6.5 million, to $1.96 billion at December 31, 2019, compared to $1.96 billion at September 30, 2019. Total deposits increased 4.6%, or $85.3 million, from $1.87 billion at December 31, 2018. Changes in gross loans and deposits during these periods resulted from regular fluctuations in customer loan and deposit account balances or from organic growth. Shareholders' equity totaled $261.6 million as of December 31, 2019, compared to $255.9 million at September 30, 2019 and $244.6 million at December 31, 2018. The increase from the previous quarter and from the fourth quarter of 2018 resulted primarily from increases in operating earnings, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock and payment of dividends during the periods.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including "tangible book value per share" are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as "non-GAAP financial measures." We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our results of operations, financial condition and financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "may," "should," "could," "predict," "potential," "believe," "will likely result," "expect," "continue," "will," "anticipate," "seek," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "projection," "would" and "outlook," or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, without limitation, the "Risk Factors" referenced in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, other risks and uncertainties listed from time to time in our reports and documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and the following factors: business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our current and future geographic market areas; economic, market, operational, liquidity, credit and interest rate risks associated with our business; the composition of our loan portfolio, including deteriorating asset quality and higher loan charge-offs; the laws and regulations applicable to our business; our ability to achieve organic loan and deposit growth and the composition of such growth; increased competition in the financial services industry, nationally, regionally or locally; our ability to maintain our historical earnings trends; our ability to raise additional capital to execute our business plan; acquisitions and integrations of acquired businesses; systems failures or interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems or third-party servicers; the composition of our management team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; the fiscal position of the U.S. federal government and the soundness of other financial institutions; and the amount of nonperforming and classified assets we hold. We can give no assurance that any goal or plan or expectation set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this communication, and we do not intend, and assume no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances, except as required by applicable law.
