CULLEN/FROST BANKERS, INC. SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. today reported fourth quarter results and annual earnings for 2015, a week after the Texas financial services leader indicated the corporation would raise its provision for loan losses to $34.0 million for the quarter.
https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20030109/CFRLOGO
Cullen/Frost reported net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2015 of $56.2 million, or $0.90 per diluted common share, compared to fourth quarter 2014 earnings of $70.7 million, or $1.11 per diluted common share. For the fourth quarter of 2015, returns on average assets and common equity were 0.78 percent and 8.07 percent respectively, compared to 1.02 percent and 10.36 percent for the same period in 2014.
The company also reported 2015 annual net income available to common shareholders of $271.3 million, an increase of 0.5 percent compared to 2014 earnings of $269.9 million. On a per-share basis, 2015 earnings were $4.28 per diluted common share, compared to $4.29 per diluted common share reported in 2014. For the year 2015, returns on average assets and common equity were 0.97 percent and 9.86 percent respectively, compared to 1.05 percent and 10.51 percent reported in 2014.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, average deposits rose by 3.2 percent to $24.5 billion, up $760 million from the $23.7 billion reported in the fourth quarter of 2014. Average loans increased 4.2 percent to $11.4 billion compared to $10.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2014.
"In an environment of volatility in the energy sector, we adjusted our reserve level to manage the risk in our portfolio," said Dick Evans, Cullen/Frost chairman and CEO. "The oil downturn has lasted longer than expected, but we were still able to grow year-over-year net income, even with the higher provision.
"The results are a testament to our company's underlying financial strength. I am proud of the way our team is taking care of customers and helping us manage through the volatility, just as we have done throughout our 148-year history.
"I am confident in the strength of this company. Both capital and liquidity remain at high levels.
"Continued growth in loans in the fourth quarter and for 2015 reflects our determination to leverage the new business relationships we added throughout the downturn," said Evans. "The primary driver for deposit growth for the fourth quarter and for 2015 was new customers who responded to our value proposition and way of doing business. At year end, our assets were at an all-time high of $28.6 billion," Evans continued. "With interest rates remaining at low levels, it was encouraging to see good growth from last year in taxable equivalent net interest income for the fourth quarter.
"The Texas economy's broad diversification is helping the state get through the current decline in energy prices, and I remain confident in the state's resilience. Texas jobs grew 1.4 percent in 2015, compared to the U.S. average of 1.9 percent.
"We remain focused on the volatility in energy prices and are in close communication with our energy-related customers. In addition to reserves already allocated, we provided $22 million for possible energy industry exposure primarily based on our sensitivity stress test. In this volatile market, we are comfortable that our energy exposure is manageable."
During the year, Frost received further validation of its outstanding service culture and performance by well-regarded third parties. In a Consumer Reports survey of its subscribers on their satisfaction with banks, Frost was top-rated among regional and community banks. And for the sixth consecutive year, Frost received the highest ranking in customer satisfaction in Texas in the J.D. Power and Associates 2015 U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction Study.
"It is outstanding people at every level here at Frost who make our results possible, and I am grateful to them for their dedication to our company and for the way they live our culture and take amazing care of customers."
Evans said the company opened three new financial centers in 2015 in the Dallas region, in addition to relocating several older locations to new facilities across the state and renovating others. Frost moved its Dallas region headquarters into new offices in the Frost Tower in the Uptown area of Dallas as the named tenant and announced plans to relocate its Tarrant County region headquarters into the Frost Tower now under construction in downtown Fort Worth, where Frost will also be the named tenant. In San Antonio, Frost announced plans to move its corporate headquarters to a new downtown high-rise, to be called the Frost Tower, in 2018 or 2019. Frost will be the named tenant in the tower, which is being developed by Weston Urban.
"We continue to deliver on our commitment to innovate, and in 2015, we launched new technologies that make our customers' lives better," continued Evans. "We released our new app for Apple Watch to give customers quick access to their account balances and recent transactions. During the year, we also introduced several new features on our smartphone app for iPhone and Android devices that allow customers to freeze a debit card, enter travel alerts and see all of their investments in one place.
"Cullen/Frost has consistently delivered value to our shareholders, paying and increasing our dividend for 22 consecutive years," said Evans. "I remain very optimistic about our company's future."
For 2015, average total loans were $11.3 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion, or 9.4 percent, from the $10.3 billion reported the previous year. Average total deposits for 2015 rose to $24.0 billion, up 9.0 percent, or $2.0 billion, over the $22.1 billion reported in 2014. Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased to $888.0 million, up 9.9 percent, over the $807.9 million reported a year earlier, reflecting the impact of the increasing volume of earning assets. Non-interest income for the year rose 2.7 percent to $328.7 million over the $320.1 million reported for 2014. For 2015, total revenue on a taxable equivalent basis increased 7.9 percent to $1.2 billion, while non-interest expense increased 6.0 percent over the previous year to $693.7 million. Cullen/Frost acquired WNB Bancshares, Inc., with loans of $670.6 million and deposits of $1.6 billion, on May 30, 2014. These loans and deposits, and the results of operations, are included in annual comparisons from the date of acquisition.
Noted financial data for the fourth quarter:
-- Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios for the Corporation at the
end of the fourth quarter of 2015 were 12.38 percent and 13.85 percent,
respectively and are in excess of well-capitalized levels. The Common
Equity Tier 1 ratio was 11.37 percent at December 31, 2015. The tangible
common equity ratio was 7.46 percent at the end of the fourth quarter of
2015, compared to 7.39 percent for the same quarter last year. The
tangible common equity ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is
equal to end-of-period shareholders' common equity less goodwill and
intangible assets divided by end-of-period total assets less goodwill
and intangible assets.
-- Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis for the fourth quarter
totaled $225.6 million, an increase of 6.1 percent compared to the
$212.6 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2014. This increase
resulted primarily from an increase in the average volume of earning
assets. The net interest margin was 3.43 percent for the fourth quarter,
compared to 3.34 percent for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 3.48 percent
for the third quarter of 2015.
-- Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $83.2 million, up
$513,000 from the $82.6 million reported a year earlier. Insurance
commissions and fees increased $1.6 million due mainly to increases in
the employee benefits line of business. The increase was partially
offset by lower trust and investment management fees at $26.3 million,
down $1.0 million compared to $27.3 million a year earlier. This
decrease was due to a $758,000 decline in oil and gas fees and an
$813,000 decrease in fees for securities lending, a business Frost
exited at the end of the first quarter 2015. These were offset in part
by a $1.1 million increase in investment fees, which are generally
assessed based on the market value of trust assets that are managed and
held in custody. Trust assets were $30.7 billion at the end of the
fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $30.5 billion at December 31, 2014.
-- Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $173.4 million,
up $4.4 million or 2.6 percent from the $169.0 million reported for the
fourth quarter of 2014. Employee benefits increased $2.7 million or 19.9
percent, primarily related to retirement plan expense, which was up $1.3
million, and higher medical and dental expenses, up $762,000. Net
occupancy expense increased $1.8 million, mainly from higher
depreciation expense and property taxes related to Frost's new
operations and support center. Furniture and equipment was up $1.1
million or 6.7 percent due mainly to technology initiatives and our new
operations and support center. Other expense was down $1.3 million,
resulting from a $2.5 million decrease in advertising, marketing and
communications expenses offset by increased professional services costs
of $1.2 million.
-- For the fourth quarter of 2015, the provision for loan losses was $34.0
million, compared to net charge-offs of $8.5 million. For the fourth
quarter of 2014, the provision for loan losses was $4.4 million,
compared to net charge-offs of $3.2 million. The allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.18 percent at December 31,
2015, compared to 0.97 percent last quarter and 0.91 percent at year-end
2014. Non-performing assets were $85.7 million at year end, compared to
$58.2 million the previous quarter, and $65.2 million at year-end 2014.
