BEAUFORT, SC / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2017 / Coastal Banking Company Inc. CBCO (the "Company"), the holding company of CBC National Bank, which operates branches in Beaufort and Port Royal, S.C., and in Fernandina Beach, Ocala, and The Villages, Fla., today reported net income of $2.11 million, or $0.55 diluted earnings per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This compares to $1.54 million, or $0.46 in diluted earnings per common share, for the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $570,000. The diluted earnings per common share for both quarters reflect the acquisition of First Avenue National Bank ("FANB") in Ocala, Florida, in early April 2016.

On a linked-quarter basis, the $2.11 million of net income in the second quarter of 2017 increased significantly from first quarter 2017 net income of $1.45 million, or $0.38 diluted earnings per common share.

For the first six months ending June 30, 2017, the Company reported net income of $3.56 million, or $0.94 diluted earnings per common share, an increase of $790,000 over the net income for the first six months of 2016 of $2.77 million, or $0.90 diluted earnings per common share.

Key performance highlights for the second quarter of 2017 include:

  • Continued shareholder value creation. Driven by strong earnings over the last four quarters, book value per share has risen to $15.20 at June 30, 2017, from $14.18 at Dec. 31, 2016, and $13.12 at June 30, 2016. The CBCO closing market price on June 30, 2017, was $17.55, up from $15.01 at Dec. 31, 2016.
  • Continued strong profitability. Second quarter 2017 net income increased by 36.7 percent over the second quarter of 2016, and 45.9 percent over the first quarter of 2017. Second quarter 2017 results featured more balanced net income for all three of the Company's operating segments as compared to the second quarter of 2016: Community Banking earned $953,000 in 2017's second quarter, up from $418,000 in 2016's second quarter, SBA Lending earned $475,000 in the second quarter of 2017, up from $5,000 earned in the same period in 2016, and Mortgage Banking earned $1,242,000 in the second quarter of 2017, down from the robust earnings of $1,579,000 in the second quarter of 2016. Both Community Banking and SBA Lending outperformed the Company's 2017 budget for both the second quarter and year to date.
  • Continued strong mortgage banking income. For the second quarter of 2017, $404.6 million in residential mortgage loans were sold, generating $4.52 million in total mortgage banking income, down from the robust second quarter of 2016, which had $521.9 million in volume and $4.92 million in mortgage banking income. However, sales volume and mortgage income were up strongly over first quarter 2017's $346.6 million and $3.41 million, respectively. Additionally, mortgage banking has generated increased yields on sold loans throughout 2017, compared to 2016, as a result of strategic changes in its loan origination mix. Mortgage banking income is up $88,000 for the first six months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 despite sales volume being down $150 million from the same period last year.
  • Strong SBA originations and loan sales. SBA loan sale income in the second quarter of 2017 was $871,000, compared to $154,000 for the same period in 2016. For the second quarter of 2017, SBA Lending originated $7.7 million in loans and sold $8.0 million into the secondary market. In the second quarter of 2016, SBA Lending originated $5.2 million in loans and sold $1.5 million into the secondary market. The balance of SBA loans available for sale at June 30, 2017, was $35 million, slightly down from the end of the first quarter of 2017, but up over the $28 million balance at June 30, 2016.
  • Year-over-year growth in the balance sheet. The balance sheet grew $20.1 million, or 3.3 percent, from June 30, 2016, to June 30, 2017, with total assets of $635.8 million at June 30, 2017. The asset growth was driven by $21.7 million of increased portfolio loan balances. Since June 30, 2016, Mortgage portfolio loans grew $15.1 million, Community Banking portfolio loans grew $5.4 million and SBA portfolio loans grew $1.2 million. The Company's balance sheet is well positioned for stable or increasing interest rates.
  • Strong 2017 and year-over-year deposit growth. Deposits have grown from $413.0 million at June 30, 2016, to $432.1 million at June 30, 2017, an increase of $19.1 million, or 4.6 percent. This year-over-year growth represents all organic growth, as the acquisition of FANB occurred in April 2016. The $19.1 million in growth has largely been composed of core retail DDA growth.
  • Steady to improving credit quality. The ratio of non-performing assets to assets decreased from 1.56 percent at June 30, 2016, to 1.48 percent at June 30, 2017. The ratio was 1.98 percent at Dec. 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses was 1.33 percent of loans outstanding at June 30, 2017, up from 1.22 percent of loans outstanding at the end of June 2016. The allowance for loan losses was 1.47 percent at Dec. 31, 2016. Other real estate owned (OREO) declined to $5.0 million at June 30, 2017, from $5.1 million at both June 30, 2016, and Dec. 31, 2016. Net charge-offs were $183,000 for the second quarter of 2017, compared to net recoveries of $30,000 for the second quarter of 2016. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2017 were $850,000, compared to $839,000 for the same period last year.
  • Strong capital ratios. Capital ratios for CBC National Bank remained strong, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 21.46 percent and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 20.20 percent at June 30, 2017, up from 19.96 percent and 18.70 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2016.
  • Continued improvement in efficiency ratio. The Company's efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2017 was 68.2 percent, compared to 77.3 percent for second quarter 2016. The Company's efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2017, was 70.5 percent, compared to 76.1 percent for the same period in 2016.

"In the second quarter, we saw the continuation of a number of our strategic initiatives help drive shareholder value through the more diversified, robust and steady earnings they are combining to provide," said Michael G. Sanchez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Book value per share was $15.20 at June 30, 2017, a 15.9 percent increase from $13.12 at June 30, 2016, and up 7.2 percent from $14.18 at Dec. 31, 2016. All three of our Company's divisions are contributing strongly to our balanced core earnings, with both Community Banking and SBA Lending outperforming the Company's 2017 budget for the second quarter and year to date. Community Banking earned $953,000 in the second quarter, more than double its earnings in the same period a year ago, fueled by the FANB acquisition. SBA Lending earned $475,000 in the second quarter of 2017 on strong originations and loan sales. We have adjusted our Mortgage Banking model to generate additional government loan production while relying less on brokered out loans, which has improved our already outstanding execution. The result is that Mortgage Banking income rose for the first six months of 2017, compared to the same period last year, despite a decrease in volume. Mortgage Banking earned $1,242,000 in the second quarter of 2017. We have also seen strong year-over-year deposit and balance sheet growth. Deposits have grown by $19.1 million from June 30, 2016, to the end of this year's second quarter, largely owing to organic growth in core retail demand deposit accounts, which in turn decreases our reliance on higher cost deposits and improves our net interest margin. The balance sheet grew $20.1 million year over year on increased portfolio loan balances among all three divisions. Our balance sheet is well-managed and well-positioned to enable our Company to continue to perform strongly through a stable or rising interest rate environment."

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $5.29 million, an increase of 2.5 percent, from the $5.16 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Net interest income increased from $9.10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, to $10.40 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was due to the acquisition of FANB in April 2016, increased yields and growth in portfolio loans. The Company's net interest margin increased from 3.95 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2016, to 4.09 percent for the same period in 2017. The net interest margin increased from 3.92 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2016, to 4.14 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Noninterest income was $5.80 million for the second quarter of 2017, comparable to the $5.84 million for the second quarter of 2016. Income on SBA loan sales and service charges on deposits for the second quarter of 2017 increased over last year's second quarter, while income from mortgage loan sales and other income declined. The additional income on service charges on deposit accounts is due to the addition of FANB in April 2016, while the decline in other income is due to a bargain purchase gain recorded in April 2016 related to the FANB acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, noninterest income was $10.57 million, compared to $9.54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase is primarily due to increased SBA and mortgage loan sales income and additional service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by the recording of the bargain purchase gain mentioned above.

For the second quarter of 2017 noninterest expense was $7.57 million, a decrease of 10.9 percent from the $8.50 million for the second quarter of 2016. This decrease is primarily due to non-recurring FANB acquisition expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, noninterest expense was $14.79 million, an increase of 4.3 percent over the $14.18 million in noninterest expense for the first six months of 2016. The increase is due primarily to the year-to-date 2017 effect of the additional salaries, benefits and occupancy expenses from the FANB branches added in the second quarter of 2016, partially offset by the non-recurring acquisition expenses incurred in 2016, mentioned above.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company changed its financial statement presentation to reclassify the direct lending costs incurred by its Mortgage segment's National Retail Group against that group's origination income. This change only affects noninterest income and noninterest expense as reflected above, and provides for a better reflection of the Company's efficiency ratio. The Company's financials for 2016 were restated for the change for comparability purposes. This change had no effect on the Company's reported net income for 2017 or 2016.

"We continue to fine-tune the operations of each of our Company's three divisions, and all three continue to contribute strongly to our ongoing robust and balanced core earnings," said Sanchez. "Those strong earnings, in turn, continue to translate into strong shareholder value creation. It is gratifying to see initiatives including our FANB acquisition combine with organic deposit growth and strategic product-mix moves to contribute to our Company's robust performance. Our capable, talented staff and management are executing our operating strategy at a high level, and we maintain the utmost confidence in their ability to continue to create strong shareholder value growth in successive quarters."
