Guaranty Bancorp GBNK ("we", "our" or "the Company"), a community bank holding company based in Colorado, today announced third quarter 2016 net income of $5.8 million, or $0.25 per basic and diluted common share, as compared to $6.0 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted common share in the third quarter 2015. Third quarter 2016 net income was impacted by $2.2 million in merger-related expenses. Third quarter 2016 operating earnings1 increased 21.6% to $7.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share, as compared to the third quarter 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net income was $17.0 million or $0.78 per basic common share and $0.77 per diluted common share as compared to $16.6 million, or $0.79 per basic common share and $0.78 per diluted common share for the same period in 2015. Year-to-date 2016 net income includes $3.2 million in merger-related expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, operating earnings increased $2.6 million, or 15.4% to $19.2 million; an increase of $0.09 per diluted common share as compared to the same period in 2015.
"We are pleased to close our merger with Home State Bancorp and further our commitment to serving the financial needs of businesses and consumers in the state of Colorado," said Paul W. Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Guaranty Bancorp. "The integration of our systems is expected to be completed on November 7th and our teams are diligently working to ensure a smooth transition as we move forward as one bank. Throughout this process, we have also remained focused on our business. Excluding loans and deposits acquired in the merger with Home State Bancorp, annualized loan and deposit growth was 14.4% and 29.1%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2016. In addition, we had an operating return on average assets of 1.11% during the third quarter of 2016. Following the system integration in the fourth quarter, we are poised to deliver long-term value for our customers, communities, employees and shareholders."
During the third quarter 2016, operating earnings increased $1.3 million, as compared to the same quarter in 2015, primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in net interest income and a $0.3 million increase in deposit service and other fees, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and an increase in income tax expense due to an increase in pretax income. The $3.3 million increase in net interest income in the third quarter 2016, as compared to the third quarter 2015, was due to a combination of a $331.0 million, or 15.5% increase in average earning assets and a $0.8 million interest income recovery on a nonaccrual loan during the third quarter 2016. This interest recovery had a seven basis point impact on the quarterly operating return on average assets. Net income decreased $0.2 million for the third quarter 2016, as compared to the same quarter in 2015, due to a $3.8 million increase in noninterest expense, primarily merger-related expenses, mostly offset by a $3.3 million increase in net interest income and a $0.3 million increase in noninterest income. The merger-related expenses incurred in the third quarter 2016 were $2.2 million, consisting of $1.4 million in salaries and employee benefit expense related to severance and retention payments and $0.8 million in other general and administrative expense.
As compared to the second quarter 2016, third quarter 2016 operating earnings increased $1.2 million, or 20.3% to $7.3 million primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in net interest income and a $0.3 million increase in deposit service and other fees, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense. The $2.9 million increase in net interest income in the third quarter 2016, as compared to the second quarter 2016, was mostly related to a $238.2 million increase in average earning assets, partially due to the transaction with Home State Bancorp (Home State). Third quarter 2016 net income increased $0.1 million to $5.8 million, as compared to the second quarter 2016, primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in net interest income and a $0.6 million increase noninterest income, partially offset by a $3.5 million increase in noninterest expense. The $3.5 million increase in noninterest expense in the third quarter 2016 as compared to the second quarter 2016, was primarily related to a $1.9 million increase in merger-related expenses and a $0.8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense related to the transaction with Home State.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, operating earnings increased 15.4%, or $2.6 million, as compared to the same period in 2015 due to a $5.4 million increase in net interest income, mostly due to a $249.9 million, or 12.1% increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and an increase in income taxes due to an increase in pretax income. Net income increased $0.4 million for the first nine months of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, due to the $5.4 million increase in net interest income, as discussed above, partially offset by a $4.5 million increase in noninterest expense, primarily due to $3.2 million in merger-related expenses incurred in 2016 and $0.8 million in salaries and benefit expenses related to the transaction with Home State.
As a direct result of the recently completed transaction with Home State, the Company improved its liquidity position as well as its concentration of commercial real estate during the third quarter 2016. The loan-to-deposit ratio decreased from 102.8% at June 30, 2016 to 87.7% at September 30, 2016, providing additional liquidity for continued balance sheet growth. In addition, our total commercial real estate as a percent of capital (CRE2 Ratio) fell significantly from 360% at June 30, 2016 to 314% at September 30, 2016. Commercial real estate is defined as our total reported loans secured by multifamily and non-farm residential properties, loans for construction, land development and other land and loans otherwise sensitive to the general commercial real estate market, including loans to commercial real estate related entities.

(1) See reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding
GAAP measurement in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" later in this document.
(2) The efficiency ratio equals noninterest expense adjusted to exclude
amortization of intangible assets, prepayment penalties on long-term debt,
impairment of long-lived assets and merger related expenses, divided by the
sum of tax equivalent net interest income and tax equivalent noninterest
income. To calculate tax equivalent net interest income and noninterest
income, the interest earned on tax exempt loans and investment securities
and the income earned on bank-owned life insurance has been adjusted to
reflect the amount that would have been earned had these investments been
subject to normal income taxation.

Net interest income increased $3.3 million in the third quarter 2016, as compared to the same quarter in 2015, due to a $4.5 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was the result of a $307.4 million, or 18.0% increase in average loan balances in the third quarter 2016 as compared to the same quarter in 2015, a $0.8 million interest income recovery on a nonaccrual loan received in the third quarter 2016 and $0.3 million related to accretion of the discount applied to loans acquired in the Home State transaction. The increase in interest expense was due to a $0.5 million increase in subordinated debt expense, a $0.3 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings expense and a $0.4 million increase in interest expense on deposits. On July 18, 2016, we issued $40.0 million of unsecured fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes, to raise the cash consideration paid to the shareholders of Home State in connection with the transaction. FHLB borrowing expense increased in the third quarter 2016, as compared to the same quarter in 2015, as a result of fixed-rate hedged borrowings, $25.0 million of which became effective in the third quarter 2015 and $25.0 million of which became effective in the first quarter 2016. Interest expense on deposits increased in the third quarter 2016, as compared to the third quarter 2015, due to higher average deposit balances, attributable to both organic growth and the Home State transaction.
As compared to the second quarter 2016, net interest income increased by $2.9 million due to a $3.5 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income during the third quarter 2016, as compared to the second quarter 2016, was primarily due to a $165.3 million increase in average loan balances and a $37.7 million increase in average investment balances. The $0.6 million increase in interest expense in the third quarter 2016, as compared to the second quarter 2016, was mostly due to the newly issued $40.0 million of unsecured fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes, discussed above.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net interest income increased $5.4 million, as compared to the same period in 2015, due to an $8.2 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in interest expense. The year-to-date increase in interest income was driven by a $274.0 million, or 16.9% increase in average loans, as compared to the same period in 2015. The $2.7 million increase in interest expense during the first nine months of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was due to a $1.2 million increase in FHLB borrowing expense, a $1.0 million increase in interest expense on deposits, and a $0.6 million increase in interest expense on subordinated debt. As outlined above, the increased cost of FHLB borrowings was the result of our hedged borrowings becoming fully effective, increased borrowing levels required to fund loan growth, and an increase in short-term, variable rates resulting from the December 2015 federal funds interest rate increase. The increase in interest expense on deposits in the first nine months of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was the result of a five basis point increase in weighted average cost and a $185.1 million increase in average balances. The increase in interest expense on subordinated debt in the first nine months of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was mostly due to the newly issued $40.0 million of unsecured fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes, discussed above.

The $0.3 million increase in noninterest income in the third quarter 2016, as compared to the third quarter 2015, was attributable to an increase in deposit service and other fees primarily generated by deposits acquired in the transaction with Home State.

Third quarter 2016 noninterest expense was $18.6 million as compared to $15.1 million in the second quarter 2016 and $14.9 million in the third quarter 2015. The Company's tax equivalent efficiency ratio was 56.78% for the third quarter 2016, as compared to 59.08% in the second quarter 2016, and 58.75% in the third quarter 2015.
Third quarter 2016 noninterest expense increased $3.5 million, as compared to the second quarter 2016, primarily as a result of a $1.9 million increase in merger-related expenses; consisting of a $1.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefit expense related to severance and retention payments and a $0.5 million increase in other general and administrative expenses. Excluding of the merger-related expenses included in salaries and employee benefits, this category of expense increased $1.1 million, mostly due to expenses related to the employees acquired in the Home State transaction.
Noninterest expense increased by $3.8 million in the third quarter 2016, as compared to the third quarter 2015, primarily due to $2.2 million in merger-related expenses incurred in the third quarter 2016; consisting of $1.4 million in salaries and employee benefit expense related to severance and retention payments and $0.8 million in other general and administrative expenses. Excluding the merger-related expenses included in salaries and employee benefits, this category of expense increased $1.3 million, consisting of $0.8 million related to the employees acquired in the Home State transaction and a $0.5 million increase in base salaries and employee benefit expense.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, noninterest expense was $49.6 million, as compared to $45.1 million for the same period in 2015. The $4.5 million increase in noninterest expense during the first nine months of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily due to $3.2 million in merger-related expenses incurred during the first nine months of 2016; consisting of $1.4 million in salaries and employee benefits related to severance and retention payments and $1.8 million in other general and administrative expenses. Excluding the merger-related expenses, noninterest expense increased $1.3 million for the first nine months of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, due to a $2.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, partially offset by a $0.8 million decline in occupancy expense. The $2.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits was due to $0.8 million related to the employees acquired in the Home State transaction, a $0.8 million increase in base salaries and a $0.4 million increase in the Company's self-funded medical plan. The $0.8 million decrease in occupancy expense was related to a reduction in rent and depreciation expense related to the restructure of the lease for the Company's corporate office.

During the third quarter 2016, nonperforming assets decreased by $7.5 million from June 30, 2016 and $9.4 million from September 30, 2015. The $7.5 million decline in nonperforming assets during the third quarter 2016 included the transfer of a $9.4 million out-of-state loan syndication to performing status. As a result of the transaction with Home State, $2.1 million of nonperforming loans and $0.1 million of other real estate owned were acquired. At September 30, 2016, performing troubled debt restructurings were $24.4 million, as compared to $13.1 million at June 30, 2016 and $12.1 million at September 30, 2015. The increase in performing troubled debt restructurings in the third quarter 2016, as compared the second quarter 2016, was primarily due to the transfer of a $9.4 million out-of-state loan syndication to performing status, described above.
At September 30, 2016, classified assets represented 10.7% of bank-level Tier 1 risk-based capital plus allowance for loan losses, as compared to 11.7% at December 31, 2015, and 13.5% at September 30, 2015.
All acquired loans are initially recorded at their estimated fair value which encompasses an estimate of credit losses. The table below presents two alternative views of credit risk coverage ratios for loans, reflecting adjustments for acquired loans and the associated purchase accounting discount:

Net recoveries of $0.2 million were recognized during the third quarter 2016, as compared to immaterial net recoveries in the second quarter of 2016 and immaterial net recoveries in the third quarter 2015. During the third quarter 2016, the Bank recorded an immaterial provision for loan losses as compared to immaterial provisions in both the second quarter 2016 and the third quarter 2015. The Bank considered recoveries, historical charge-offs, level of nonperforming loans, loan growth and other factors when determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the resulting amount of loan loss provision to be recognized during the quarter.
Shares Outstanding
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had 28,349,107 shares of common stock outstanding, consisting of 27,330,107 shares of voting common stock, of which 564,376 shares were in the form of unvested stock awards, and 1,019,000 shares of non-voting common stock.
