WEST BEND, Wis., Oct. 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westbury Bancorp, Inc. WBBW, the holding company (the "Company") for Westbury Bank (the "Bank"), today announced net income of $536,000, or $0.14 per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and $2.8 million, or $0.78 per common share, for the year ended September 30, 2017, compared to net income of $653,000, or $0.18 per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2016, and net income of $3.5 million, or $0.94 per common share, for the year ended September 30, 2016.
Kirk Emerich, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President-Investor Relations, said, "While our earnings declined year over year, we believe that the actions taken during the year have positioned us for improved earnings in the quarters ahead. After adjusting for non-core income and expense items such as gains on sales of investments, the gain on the sale of our wealth management operation, valuation losses on real estate held for sale and the termination of contracts, net income for the year ended September 2017 was an adjusted $3.4 million compared to an adjusted $3.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2016. In addition, 2017 was the first full year of operation of our Madison commercial loan office which achieved growth to $42 million in outstanding loan balances as of September 30, 2017."
Highlights for the year included:
- During the year ended September 30, 2017, our net loan portfolio grew by $68.2 million, or 12.8%. The portfolio growth consisted primarily of growth in commercial real estate, multifamily, commercial and industrial, and single family loans. As a result of this loan growth, we experienced an increase in total interest and dividend income of $2.3 million, or 10.0%, to $25.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2017 compared to $22.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2016.
- During the year ended September 30, 2017, our deposits increased by $83.8 million, or 14.2%. This deposit growth was the primary cause of an increase in total interest expense of $807,000, or 31.0%, to $3.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2017 compared to $2.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2016.
- Net interest income increased $1.5 million, or 7.3%, to $21.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2017 compared to $20.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2016. Our net interest margin was 3.27% for the year ended September 30, 2017 compared to 3.38% for the year ended September 30, 2016. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 3 basis points between years while the average cost of funds increased by 8 basis points.
- Non-performing assets decreased by $378,000, or 57.2%, to $283,000, or 0.04% of total assets, at September 30, 2017, compared to $661,000, or 0.09% of total assets, at September 30, 2016.
- Classified assets increased $101,000, or 5.2%, to $2.1 million, or 0.26% of total assets, at September 30, 2017, compared to $2.0 million, or 0.28% of total assets, at September 30, 2016.
- Loans past due 30-89 days increased $260,000, or 36.4%, to $975,000, or 0.16% of net loans, at September 30, 2017 from $715,000, or 0.13% of net loans, at September 30, 2016.
- Net recoveries were 0.01% of average loans for the year ended September 30, 2017, compared to net charge-offs of 0.03% of average loans for the year ended September 30, 2016.
- Due to the decrease in non-performing loans and the decrease in net charge-offs compared to fiscal 2017, the ratio of our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans increased to 2,035.3% at September 30, 2017 compared to 933.1% at September 30, 2016.
- Non-interest income was $6.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2017, compared to $6.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases in each of gains on sales of securities of $538,000, gains on sales of loans of $216,000, other income of $145,000, insurance and securities sales commissions of $77,000 and service fees on deposit accounts of $65,000, which amounts were offset by increases in servicing fee income of $243,000.
- Non-interest expense was $22.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2017, compared to $20.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily related to the startup of our Madison commercial loan office. Madison related non-interest expense, consisting primarily of compensation expense and occupancy expense, was $951,000 for the year ended September 30, 2017 compared to $232,000 for the year ended September 30, 2016. In addition, during fiscal 2017 we incurred $240,000 in expenses related to the termination of an employment contract. Additionally, non-recurring non-interest expense, consisting of expenses related to valuation adjustments on real estate designated as held for sale, was $702,000 for the year ended September 30, 2017 compared to $276,000 for the year ended September 30, 2016.
- We have been an active buyer of our stock since the implementation of our first stock repurchase program in May 2014. For the year ended September 30, 2017, we purchased 130,226 shares. In total, since we began our stock repurchase programs in May 2014, we have repurchased 1,379,350 shares, or 26.82% of the shares outstanding in May 2014.
- Our stock repurchase activity has reduced our average equity to average assets ratio to 9.79% at September 30, 2017 from 16.65% at March 31, 2014, the last quarter end before we began our first stock repurchase program. Additionally, our tangible book value per share increased by $1.18, or 6.1%, to $20.61 at September 30, 2017 from $19.43 at September 30, 2016. Based on our closing share price of $19.95 on September 30, 2017, our price to tangible book value was 96.80% compared to 100.51% on September 30, 2016 based on the closing share price of $19.53 at that date.
Highlights for the fourth quarter include:
- During the three months ended September 30, 2017, our net loan portfolio grew by $30.7 million, or 21.5% annualized growth. The loan portfolio growth consisted primarily of growth in commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and multifamily loans. Loan growth was the primary driver of an increase in total interest and dividend income of $345,000, or 5.4%, to $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and an increase of $906,000, or 15.4%, compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
- During the three months ended September 30, 2017, our deposits decreased by $11.7 million, or 6.8% annualized. Growth in average deposit balances was the primary cause of the increase in total interest expense of $85,000, or 9.4%, to $991,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $906,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and an increase of $297,000, or 42.8%, compared to $694,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
- Net interest income increased $260,000, or 4.7%, to $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and an increase of $609,000, or 11.7%, compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Our net interest margin was 3.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 3.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 3.34% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
- Non-performing assets decreased to $283,000, or 0.04% of total assets, at September 30, 2017, compared to $318,000, or 0.04% of total assets, at June 30, 2017.
- Classified assets decreased to $2.1 million, or 0.26% of total assets, at September 30, 2017, compared to $2.5 million, or 0.32% of total assets, at June 30, 2017.
- Loans past due 30-89 days increased $414,000, or 73.8%, to $975,000, or 0.16% of net loans, at September 30, 2017 from $561,000, or 0.10% of net loans, at June 30, 2017.
- Annualized net recoveries were 0.03% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 0.00% of average loans for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and annualized net charge-offs of 0.05% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
- The ratio of our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans decreased to 2,035.3% at September 30, 2017 compared to 2,806.0% at June 30, 2017.
- Non-interest income was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
- Non-interest expense was $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily related to the valuation allowance on real estate held for sale which was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2017. This allowance relates to a property which was transferred from office properties and equipment to real estate held for sale based on a viable offer to purchase received during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The sale of the property is expected to be completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

The following table reconciles consolidated net income for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 to adjusted net income, after adjustment for non-core income and expense items (a non-GAAP measure):

This is a non-GAAP financial measure. In compliance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
