WASHINGTON, N.C., Jan. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- First South Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSBK) (the "Company"), the parent holding company of First South Bank (the "Bank"), reports its unaudited financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.
The Company has previously reported that on December 12, 2014, the Bank completed the acquisition of nine branch banking offices in eastern North Carolina from Bank of America, N.A. ("BOA"). In connection with this transaction the Bank incurred a number of one-time expenses that impacted our results of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014. Our results of operations were also impacted by a penalty associated with the prepayment of $20.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and several other non-recurring expenses during the quarter.
For the 2014 fourth quarter, net income was $142,000 or $0.02 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share for the linked 2014 third quarter and $1.1 million or $0.12 per diluted common share for the comparative 2013 fourth quarter. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $3.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted common share, compared to $6.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Pre-tax net income for the current quarter reflects the impact of $1.7 million of one-time acquisition transaction expenses and the prepayment penalty on FHLB advances. Excluding the net effects of these one-time expenses, net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, would have totaled $1.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014, would have been $5.0 million, or $0.52 per diluted common share. The following table presents net income for the respective December 31, 2014 quarter and year end periods adjusted for the impact of the one-time BOA acquisition transaction expenses and the FHLB prepayment penalty:
Quarter Ended Year Ended 12/31/14 12/31/14 -------- -------- (In thousands) Reported Net Income $142 $3,873 Adjustments for One-Time Expenses: BOA Branch Acquisition Transaction Professional fees and services 647 647 Compensation and fringe benefits 241 241 Advertising 205 205 Other miscellaneous expenses 133 133 Premises and equipment 94 94 --- --- Total BOA Branch Acquisition Expenses 1,320 FHLB Advance Prepayment Fee 345 345 --- --- Total One-Time Adjustments 1,665 1,665 Income Tax Benefit (29.85%) (497) (497) ---- ---- Net Income Adjusted for One-Time Expenses $1,310 $5,041 ====== ====== Reported Diluted EPS $0.02 $0.40 Impact of One-Time Expenses on EPS $0.12 $0.12 Diluted EPS Adjusted for One-Time Expenses $0.14 $0.52
Bruce Elder, President and CEO, commented, "On December 12, 2014, we completed our transaction with Bank of America and acquired nine banking centers, expanding our presence into seven new eastern North Carolina markets. In addition to expanding our branch and ATM network, we also acquired a strong core customer base. Our challenge looking ahead to 2015 will be to capitalize on lending opportunities and broaden our market share in both new and existing markets.
We continue to remain focused on our core earnings and asset quality. While our financial results were impacted by a number of one-time expenses in the 2014 fourth quarter, we have made progress in the areas of net interest income, core non-interest income and containing recurring non-interest expenses."
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the 2014 fourth quarter increased to $6.8 million from $6.6 million for the linked 2014 third quarter and $6.5 million earned for the comparative 2013 fourth quarter. Net interest income for the year ended 2014 declined marginally to $26.4 million, from $26.8 million for the comparative year ended 2013. The tax equivalent net interest margin declined 31 basis points to 3.78% for the 2014 fourth quarter, from 4.09% for the linked 2014 third quarter, and fell 42 basis points when compared to 4.20% for the 2013 fourth quarter. The tax equivalent net interest margin for the year ended 2014 declined by 28 basis points to 4.06%, from 4.34% for the comparative year ended 2013.
The increase in net interest income from the linked 2014 third quarter is due primarily to the implementation of a strategy to pre-invest a large portion of the deposits to be received from the BOA transaction into investment securities until the funds can be re-deployed to higher yielding assets. The sharp decline in net interest margin was due to the increased volume of lower yielding investment securities as a percentage of earning assets when compared to prior periods.
The increase in net interest income from the comparative prior year quarterly period is due primarily to higher volumes of earning assets offset by lower yields on those assets. While the Company experienced growth in loans and investment securities during 2014, given the current low rate environment, yields on new loan production and investment security purchases are below that of prior historical levels. Similarly, the marginal decline in net interest income from the comparative annual period is due primarily to a reduction in the yields and a change in the composition of our earning asset base.
Asset Quality and Provisions for Loan Losses
Total nonperforming assets were $13.2 million, or 1.5% of total assets at December 31, 2014, compared to $15.3 million or 2.3% of total assets at December 31, 2013. Total loans in non-accrual status were $5.0 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2013. Our level of OREO declined to $7.8 million at December 31, 2014, from $9.4 million at December 31, 2013. The Bank continues to place improving asset quality metrics as a key component of its short-term and long-term performance objectives.
The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) was $7.5 million at December 31, 2014, representing 1.57% of loans and leases held for investment, compared to $7.6 million at December 31, 2013, or 1.69% of loans and leases held for investment. The Bank recorded no provision for credit losses in the 2014 fourth quarter, $400,000 in the linked 2014 third quarter, and $685,000 in the comparative 2013 fourth quarter. During the years ended 2014 and 2013, the Bank recorded $1.1 million of provision for credit losses for each of the respective years. Management believes the ALLL remains adequate.
Non-Interest Income
On a comparative quarterly basis, total non-interest income was relatively consistent at $2.3 million for the 2014 fourth quarter, $2.2 million for the linked 2014 third quarter, and $2.3 million for the 2013 fourth quarter.
Deposit fees and service charges were $1.2 million for the 2014 fourth quarter representing 53.4% of total non-interest income, compared to $1.1 million earned in the linked 2014 third quarter and $1.0 million in the 2013 fourth quarter, representing 49.8% and 45.4% of total non-interest income, respectively. We anticipate additional service charge revenue from deposits going forward, as we focus on growing our core deposit base through new customer acquisition, cross-selling to existing customers and the deposit accounts acquired from the branch purchase transaction.
Total non-interest income generated from the sale and servicing of mortgage loans and loan fees were $603,000 for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared with $677,000 in the linked 2014 third quarter and $623,000 for the 2013 fourth quarter. Revenue from mortgage banking activities declined with home purchases in the first half of the current quarter, but rebounded in December as low mortgage rates sparked additional refinance activity. As we sell the majority of our originated mortgage loans and retain the servicing rights, the decline in volume has also impacted recurring revenue from servicing. We continue to explore various strategies to enhance our non-interest income, including the purchasing of servicing rights.
Net gains recognized from the sale of OREO were $33,000 for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to $9,000 for the linked 2014 third quarter and $206,000 for the comparative 2013 fourth quarter.
There were no gains on investment security sales during the 2014 fourth quarter, the linked second quarter or the 2013 fourth quarter.
Included in other non-interest income is revenue from investments in Bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) of $134,000 for the 2014 fourth quarter, $133,000 for the linked 2014 third quarter and $105,000 for the 2013 fourth quarter.
Total core non-interest income, excluding net gains from the sale of OREO and investment securities, continued to remain constant at $2.2 million for the 2014 fourth quarter, $2.2 million for the linked 2014 third quarter, and $2.1 million for the 2013 fourth quarter, due primarily to consistent collection of services charges and fees on deposit accounts.
For the year ended 2014, total non-interest income was $8.6 million, compared to $10.4 million for the year ended 2013. Fees and service charges on deposits were $4.4 million for the current period compared to $4.2 million for the prior year period. The Bank and the mortgage industry overall, has experienced a slowdown in mortgage activity due to the current economic conditions and increases in mortgage rates from their recent historic low levels. As a result, revenue generated from the sale and servicing of mortgage loans and loan fees declined by $1.4 million to $2.4 million for 2014, from $3.8 million for 2013. Net gains recognized from the sale of OREO and investment securities declined to $115,000 and $14,000, respectively, for 2014, from $609,000 and $548,000, respectively, for 2013, reflecting a reduced volume of sales activity in the respective periods. BOLI earnings increased to $531,000 for 2014, compared to $293,000 for 2013.
Total adjusted core non-interest income for the year ended 2014 was down by $794,000 to $8.5 million, from $9.3 million from the prior year. Considering that mortgage revenue was down by $1.4 million for 2014, there was positive growth in the other categories of non-interest income for the current year.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expenses were $8.9 million for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to $6.5 million for the linked 2014 third quarter and $6.4 million for the 2013 fourth quarter. For the year ended 2014, total non-interest expenses were $28.5 million, compared to $27.0 million reported for the year ended 2013. The increase in total non-interest expenses for the 2014 fourth quarter and the year ended 2014, relate primarily to the $1.7 million of one-time expenses noted above.
Compensation and benefits expenses, the largest component of non-interest expenses, were $4.4 million for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to $3.8 million for the linked 2014 third quarter and $3.6 million for the 2013 fourth quarter. For the year ended 2014, compensation and benefits expense was $15.8 million, compared to $15.1 million reported in 2013. The increase in compensation and benefits expenses for the 2014 fourth quarter and the year ended 2014 includes $241,000 of acquisition expenses. Additionally, there were approximately $120,000 of non-recurring compensation and benefits expenses related to additional FUTA taxes billed and severance pay. The Bank will continue to manage staffing levels to ensure we meet the ongoing needs of our customers and to support our future growth.
Premises and equipment expense was $1.1 million for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to $877,000 for the linked 2014 third quarter and $746,000 for the 2013 fourth quarter. For the year ended 2014, premises and equipment expense was $3.6 million, compared to $3.0 million reported in 2013. The increase in premises and premises expense for the 2014 fourth quarter and the year ended 2014 includes $94,000 of acquisition expenses. With the recent addition of nine new branch locations, we anticipate our level of expenses for premises and equipment going forward to be above that of prior periods.
FDIC insurance was $145,000 for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to $137,000 for the linked 2014 third quarter and $150,000 for the 2013 fourth quarter. For the year ended 2014, FDIC insurance declined to $566,000, from $850,000 reported in 2013. The change in volume of FDIC insurance is attributable to changes in the volume of the deposit insurance assessment calculation base.
Advertising expense was $371,000 for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to $127,000 for the linked 2014 third quarter and $123,000 for the 2013 fourth quarter. For the year ended 2014, advertising expense was $667,000, compared to $289,000 reported in 2013. The increase in advertising expense for the 2014 fourth quarter and the year ended 2014 includes $205,000 of acquisition expenses.
Data processing costs were $604,000 for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to $567,000 for the linked 2014 third quarter and $563,000 for the 2013 fourth quarter. For the years ended 2014 and 2013, data processing costs were $2.3 million for each respective year. Data processing costs fluctuate in conjunction with changes in the number of customer accounts and transaction activity volumes and therefore, with the addition of accounts and customers from the acquisition, we would expect these costs to increase going forward.
Expenses attributable to ongoing maintenance, property taxes and insurance for OREO properties were $123,000 for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared $105,000 for the linked 2014 third quarter and $100,000 for the comparative 2013 fourth quarter. Quarterly valuation adjustments were $131,000 for the 2014 fourth quarter, and $62,000, respectively, for the linked 2014 third quarter and the comparative 2013 fourth quarter. For the year ended 2014, total ongoing OREO expenses declined to $454,000 from $621,000 for the prior year. Total OREO valuation adjustments declined to $204,000 for 2014, from $546,000 for the prior year.
Other general and administrative expense was $2.0 million for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to $779,000 for the linked 2014 third quarter and $993,000 for the 2013 fourth quarter. For the year ended 2014, other expenses were $4.6 million, compared to $3.8 million reported in 2013. The increase in other expenses for the 2014 fourth quarter and the year ended 2014 includes acquisition related professional fees and other miscellaneous expenses of $647,000 and $133,000, respectively, and $345,000 of penalties related to prepaying $20.0 million of FHLB advances.
During 2014, the strategy for obtaining $20.0 million long-term fixed-rate FHLB advances was to hedge the impact of potential rising interest rates on future earnings, to minimize future interest rate risk and to provide liquidity during a period of extremely high CD maturity volume. When these advances were taken, we did not foresee the branch purchase transaction and related increased liquidity. Additionally, we did not project the recent decline in interest rates. With the volume of excess liquidity acquired in the branch purchase transaction, repaying the advances resulted in a one-time pretax charge of $345,000; however, during 2015 alone the interest expense savings on these advances of $438,000 well exceeds the cost of unwinding these positions.
Income tax expense was $40,000 for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to $565,000 for the linked 2014 third quarter and $486,000 for the 2013 fourth quarter. For the year ended 2014, income tax expense declined to $1.6 million, from $3.1 million for the 2013. The effective income tax rates were 22.10% for the 2014 fourth quarter, 29.63% for the linked 2014 third quarter and 29.82% for the 2013 fourth quarter. The effective income tax rates were 28.79% and 34.02% for the years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increased investment in BOLI and tax-exempt municipal bonds, combined with the income tax benefit related to the one-time expenses contributed to the decline in income tax expense and the effective income tax rates for the 2014 fourth quarter and year ended.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased to $885.9 million at December 31, 2014, from $674.7 million at December 31, 2013. The $211.2 million increase is the result of growth in earning assets, primarily in the loans and leases held for investment and securities available for sale categories.
Loans and leases held for investment grew by $29.4 million during the year ended 2014, including $1.3 million of loans acquired from the BOA transaction. As a result of this net growth, total loans and leases held for investment increased to $480.4 million at December 31, 2014, from $451.0 million at December 31, 2013.
The investment securities portfolio increased to $292.8 million at December 31, 2014, from $150.8 million at December 31, 2013. During the current year, the Bank implemented a strategy that adds bonds of similar quality, structure and duration to our portfolio that will enhance income generation. As noted above, we also implemented a strategy to pre-invest a large portion of the anticipated BOA transaction proceeds using a mix of cash, short-term and intermediate term investment securities until the funds can be converted to higher yielding assets.
Interest-bearing deposits with banks increased by $20.4 million during 2014, including $12.7 million of bank insured certificates of deposit. As a result of this net growth, interest-bearing deposits with banks increased to $32.8 million at December 31, 2014, from $12.4 million at December 31, 2013.
During the year ended 2014, the Bank had a $4.0 million net increase in its investment in BOLI, to $15.1 million at December 31, 2014, from $11.1 million at December 31, 2013. The investment returns from the BOLI will offset a portion of the cost of providing benefit plans to our employees.
Intangible assets increased to $6.4 million at December 31, 2014, from $4.2 million at December 31, 2013, reflecting the core deposit intangible associated with the BOA transaction, which will be amortized over a ten year period.
Total deposits as of December 31, 2014 were $788.3 million, an increase of $186.2 million and $202.2 million from the third quarter of 2014 and the prior year end, respectively. This increase included $172.7 million of deposits initially acquired in the BOA transaction coupled with organic growth from our legacy branch network. Organic growth in our legacy branch network totaled $16.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2014 and $33.1 million for the year. Customers continued to migrate away from certificates of deposit (CD's) to savings and other non-maturity accounts during the fourth quarter. Through our legacy branch network CD balances were reduced by $4.6 million while lower cost non-maturity deposits grew by $21.4 million during the current quarter.
There were no FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013. The Bank uses FHLB borrowings as a supplemental funding source for earning asset growth, providing an effective means of managing its overall cost of funds, and managing exposure to interest rate risk. In anticipation of the December BOA transaction closing, as noted above we implemented a pre-investment strategy of purchasing investment securities funded with short-term FHLB advances. Once the BOA transaction was finalized and the deposit funds are received, all outstanding FHLB advances were repaid.
Stockholders' equity increased to $80.4 million at December 31, 2014, from $74.9 million at December 31, 2013. This increase reflects the $3.9 million of net income earned for the year ended December 31, 2014 and a $3.1 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the mark-to-market adjustment of the available-for-sale securities portfolio, net of $963,000 dividend payments, and $457,000 used to acquire 55,876 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to a previously announced repurchase plan.
The tangible equity to assets ratio was 8.36% at December 31, 2014, compared to 10.47% at December 31, 2013. There were 9,598,007 common shares outstanding at December 31, 2014, compared to 9,653,883 shares outstanding at December 31, 2013, reflecting the net effect of shares purchased through the stock repurchase program. The tangible book value per common share increased to $7.71 at December 31, 2014, from $7.32 at December 31, 2013.
Key Performance Ratios
Some of our key performance ratios are the return on average assets (ROA), the return on average equity (ROE) and the efficiency ratio. ROA is 0.07% for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared with 0.74% for the linked 2014 third quarter and 0.67% for the 2013 fourth quarter. ROE is .70% for the 2014 fourth quarter compared with 6.70% for the linked 2014 third quarter and 5.96% for the 2013 fourth quarter. The efficiency ratio (noninterest expenses as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest income) is 96.31% for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to 72.52% for the linked 2014 third quarter and 73.56% for the 2013 fourth quarter. The efficiency ratio measures the proportion of net operating revenues that are absorbed by overhead expenses.
The ROA, ROE and efficiency ratios for the 2014 year were .53%, 4.93% and 79.98%, respectively, compared to .87%, 7.84% and 72.61%, respectively, for the 2013 year. The performance ratios for the 2014 fourth quarter and year end were adversely impacted by the one-time expenses noted above.
