BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. CUBN, parent of Reliant Bank, today reported record net income attributable to common shareholders, loans and deposits for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016. Fourth quarter net income attributable to common shareholders rose 29.0% to $2.0 million from $1.5 million for the fourth quarter 2015. Fully diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders rose 19.0% to $0.25 for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with $0.21 for the fourth quarter 2015. Net income attributable to common shareholders for the full year 2016 rose 60.3% to $8.9 million from $5.6 million for 2015. Fully diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders rose 34.9% to $1.16 from $0.86 for 2015. Net loans, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, rose 8.0% to a record $657.7 million at December 31, 2016, compared with $608.7 million at December 31, 2015. Deposits were a record $763.8 million at December 31, 2016, up 19.3% compared with $640.0 million at December 31, 2015.

"We are pleased to report record results for our fourth quarter and 2016 that highlight the progress we have made since the merger of Reliant Bank and Commerce Union Bank last year," stated William R. DeBerry, Chairman and CEO of the Company. "For the fourth quarter and the year, we reported growth in net income, loans and deposits compared with the prior year that benefited from the strong markets in our five county market in middle Tennessee. We plan to expand our presence in Nashville with the planned opening of a new branch in Green Hills, an affluent submarket of Nashville, in the first quarter of 2017. We remain positive about our growth opportunities in 2017 based on the strong economic and demographic trends in middle Tennessee."

Fourth Quarter Revenue

Total interest income was up 2.8% to $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with $8.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Total interest income increased 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. The increase in interest income from the third quarter of 2016 was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets.

Noninterest income declined to $869,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in noninterest income from the third quarter of 2016 was due primarily to a $320,000 loss ($197,000 net of the tax benefit) on securities transactions arising from a municipal bond replacement strategy compared with a $296,000 gain in the third quarter of 2016 and a $7,000 loss in the fourth quarter of 2015. The proceeds from the fourth quarter sale of securities were reinvested in higher yielding municipal bonds that are expected to be less price sensitive to rising interest rates and potential declines in corporate tax rates. The decline in noninterest income from the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily due to the transition of the out-of-market mortgage operations in the second quarter of 2016.

Net Interest Income and Margins

Net interest income rose to $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, up 1.8% compared with $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and an increase of 2.7% from $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2016. The increase in net interest income over the prior year was driven by growth in earning assets, growth in net interest margin, offset partially by lower net discount accretion associated with the merger of Commerce Union Bank and Reliant Bank and lower yields on new loans. The net discount accretion totaled $162,000 for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with $368,000 for the third quarter of 2016 and $442,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Net discount accretion is expected to total $408,000 in 2017 compared with $1,414,000 in 2016. Net discount accretion by quarter for 2017 is expected to be $99,000, $101,000, $104,000 and $104,000 for the first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively.

Net interest margin rose 7 basis points to 4.03% in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with 3.96% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and was up 5 basis points from 3.98% in the third quarter of 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses – Strong Asset Quality

Provision for loan losses was $208,000 for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with $230,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015. The provision for loan losses in the latest quarter remains low due to the low level of problem credits. Provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2016 was $145,000. We experienced net recoveries of $74,000 for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with net charge offs of $33,000 for the third quarter of 2016 and net recoveries of $82,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015.

"Our asset quality remained strong at year end 2016," stated DeVan Ard, CEO of Reliant Bank and President of the Company. "We had a reduction in non-performing loans and lower charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with the prior year's fourth quarter. We also sold off the remaining other real estate owned during 2016. This reduced non-performing assets both for the fourth quarter of 2016 and for the year. We had no accruing loans past due 90 days or more at year end 2016 and remained in a net recovery position for the year. This is the fourth year that we have ended the year in a net recovery position."

Noninterest Expenses Decline

Noninterest expenses declined 24.5% to $6.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, and were down slightly when compared with $6.9 million in the third quarter of 2016. The Company reported lower noninterest expenses in every major category compared with the fourth quarter of last year, including lower salaries and employee benefits; occupancy, information technology, advertising and public relations expenses and lower audit; federal deposit insurance, provision for losses on other real estate and other operating expenses compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in noninterest expenses benefited from the transition of out-of-market mortgage operations in the second quarter of 2016 and synergies related to the merger of Reliant Bank and Commerce Union Bank.

The Bank's efficiency ratio, excluding its mortgage subsidiary, improved to 58.0% in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with 61.4% in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The Company's effective income tax rate after consideration of the impact of the noncontrolling interest in the (income) loss of the subsidiary for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 19.4% compared with 21.8% for the third quarter of 2016 and 29.1% in the fourth quarter of 2015. The tax rate for the third and fourth quarters of 2016 included credits to income tax expense arising from the recognition of excess tax benefits on the exercise of stock options that totaled $107,000 and $18,000 in the third and fourth quarters of 2016, respectively. The tax rate for the third and fourth quarters of 2016 also benefited from a state tax credit of $217,000 each quarter related to the origination of an interest-free loan to a local housing authority.

Balance Sheet Growth – Loans and Deposits Increase in 2016

Net loans, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, rose to a record $657.7 million at December 31, 2016, up 8.0% compared with $608.7 million at December 31, 2015, and increased 3.2% on an annualized basis from $652.4 million at September 30, 2016.

"We experienced a seasonal slowdown in loan growth in the fourth quarter, due to pay downs in agricultural loans and construction loans. New loan production remained strong, especially for construction loans in our markets. We closed over $67 million in loans in the fourth quarter, including construction loans that will begin funding in the first quarter of 2017. At December 31, 2016 our unfunded loan commitments had grown by $42 million when compared to December 31, 2015, and combined with our robust loan pipeline at year end 2016, we expect our loan growth to be in the low double-digit range in 2017," stated Ard.

"The market in Nashville has very strong fundamentals that continue to attract new companies, a growing employment base, and increased loan demand. We believe the growth in our loan portfolio will benefit from the projected growth for population and employment in our major growth markets in Williamson, Sumner and Rutherford counties. We remain focused on loan quality and remain cautious about lending to certain market sectors in Nashville due to potential over-building combined with the sharp rise is real estate prices over the past three years. We believe our focus on quality credit metrics is an important part of our long-term growth strategy to build shareholder value," continued Ard.

The Bank's average earning assets grew 4.8% to $851.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with $813.0 million at December 31, 2015. The growth in earning assets benefited from an 8.9% increase in average loans and a 17.0% increase in average securities available for sale compared with the fourth quarter of last year.

Securities available for sale totaled $146.8 million at December 31, 2016, compared with $154.8 million at September 30, 2016, and $133.8 million at December 31, 2015. The municipal bond replacement strategy that started late in the fourth quarter of 2016 included the sale of approximately $11.7 million of bank-qualified municipal securities and the purchase of a similar amount of general market municipal securities. The proceeds from the sale were reinvested in better yielding securities that are expected to be less sensitive to rising interest rates and potential declines in corporate tax rates. Purchases were completed early in the first quarter of 2017.

Mortgage loans held for sale declined to $11.8 million at December 31, 2016, compared with $14.6 million at September 30, 2016, and $55.1 million at December 31, 2015. The decline in mortgage loans in the latest quarter was due to the seasonal slow-down in mortgage loans and higher interest rate environment in the fourth quarter of 2016, and the transition of the majority of the Bank's out-of-market mortgage loan production offices to another bank early in the second quarter of 2016.

Total deposits rose 19.3% to a record $763.8 million at December 31, 2016, compared with $640.0 million at December 31, 2015. The increase in deposits was fueled by a 21.1% increase in demand deposits to $134.8 million and a 42.8% increase in time deposits to $359.8 million at December 31, 2016 compared with December 31, 2015. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we paid down approximately $112.4 million of short-term FHLB advances mainly with proceeds received from the placement of State of Tennessee certificates of deposits. This change in our funding mix slightly lowered our funding costs and decreased our dependency on FHLB borrowings. The loan to deposit ratio was 87.3% at December 31, 2016, compared with 100.2% at September 30, 2016, and 96.3% at December 30, 2015.

Stockholders' equity rose to $106.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2016. Tangible book value per share was $12.08 at December 31, 2016. The decline in tangible book value from the third quarter of 2016 was primarily due to a decline in the value of the Bank's securities portfolio which was recognized through its accumulated other comprehensive loss and the declaration of a $0.22 dividend during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Strong Capital Position

The Company's and Bank's capital position remained strong at year-end 2016. The Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.75% and Tier 1 risk-based capital was 12.89% at December 31, 2016. The Bank's capital ratios are expected to be maintained significantly above the ratios of a "well-capitalized" institution.

Accounting Treatment for Merger and Mortgage Subsidiary

The fourth quarter's results for 2016 and 2015 are for Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. (Company) and include the combined results of Reliant Bank and Commerce Union Bank following their merger that was effective April 1, 2015. The results for the year ended December 31, 2015, include the operations of Reliant Bank only for the first quarter 2015 and the combined results of Reliant Bank and Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. for the second, third and fourth quarters 2015.

The consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations include the operation of the Bank's majority-controlled subsidiary, Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC. For financial accounting purposes the subsidiary is treated as a variable interest entity for which the Bank is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The venture is operated under a joint venture arrangement. The Bank receives 30% of the net income from the subsidiary once the noncontrolling member has recovered any previous losses incurred by the venture. The Bank does not absorb any losses incurred by the venture. Revenue and expenses related to the subsidiary are included in noninterest income and expenses of the Bank and the noncontrolling portion of the net income or loss of the subsidiary is reflected in the "noncontrolling interest in net (income) loss of the subsidiary" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the fourth quarter of 2016, the mortgage subsidiary generated a net loss of $532,000 compared with a net loss of $605,000 in the third quarter of 2016 and net income of $3,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015. For the year ending December 31, 2016, the subsidiary generated a net loss of $1,039,000 compared with net income of $407,000 for the year ending December 31, 2015.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures presented below include "adjusted net interest margin" and "efficiency ratio." We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because these are among the measures used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance and make day-to-day operating decisions. In addition, we believe certain purchase accounting adjustments and non-recurring income relating to the payoff of an impaired loan in the second quarter of 2016 do not reflect the operational performance of the business in this period and, accordingly, it is useful to consider these line items with and without such adjustments. We believe this presentation also increases comparability of period-to-period results.

Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such non-GAAP measures, but instead to consider them with the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for our results as reported under GAAP.

Yield Table Assumptions - Average loan balances are inclusive of nonperforming loans. Yields computed on tax-exempt instruments are on a tax equivalent basis. Net interest spread is calculated as the yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the result of net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets for the period. Changes in net interest income are attributed to either changes in average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for earning assets and sources of funds on which interest is received or paid. Volume change is calculated as change in volume times the previous rate while rate change is change in rate times the previous volume. Changes not due solely to volume or rate changes have been allocated to volume change and rate change in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each category.
