DENVER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/17/12 -- Guaranty Bancorp (NASDAQ: GBNK)
- Pre-tax income of $4.1 million in third quarter 2012 compared to $2.2 million in third quarter 2011
- Completed previously announced acquisition of Private Capital Management during quarter
- Improved asset quality for the ninth consecutive quarter
Guaranty Bancorp (NASDAQ: GBNK), a Colorado-based community bank holding company, today reported third quarter 2012 net income of $2.8 million, or $0.02 earnings per basic and diluted common share, compared to net income of $2.2 million in the third quarter 2011. The Company reported a loss of $0.28 per basic and diluted common share for the third quarter 2011 after giving effect to the non-cash adjustment of approximately $16.8 million related to the regular, quarterly paid-in-kind dividend on the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the mandatory accelerated conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock in September 2011.
The $0.6 million improvement in net income in the third quarter 2012 compared to the same quarter in 2011 is primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in pre-tax income, partially offset by $1.3 million in tax expense in 2012 as compared to no tax expense in the prior year. The improvement in pre-tax income is primarily due to a $3.3 million decrease in noninterest expense, mostly due to the prepayment penalty incurred on the payoff of $51.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings in 2011, and a decrease in provision for loan loss of $1.0 million as compared to third quarter 2011. These improvements were partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease in noninterest income mostly due to lower gains on sales of securities and a $0.6 million decrease in the net interest income.
Paul W. Taylor, Guaranty Bancorp's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our 2012 loan growth was fueled by our successful initiative to increase commercial loans. Since the beginning of the year, we have grown our commercial loan portfolio by $33.1 million or 20.5%, excluding energy loans. Further, unfunded commitments for commercial loans, excluding energy loans, increased by $21.6 million, or 23.9%, in 2012. In addition to loan growth, our core deposits have increased by $82.3 million in 2012, or 7.4%. The overall loan and deposit growth momentum has accelerated the improvement in net income in 2012 as compared to the previous year. Our third quarter 2012 pre-tax net income of $4.1 million was slightly higher than the entire first nine-months of pre-tax income of the previous year."
Mr. Taylor continued, "Our third quarter acquisition of Private Capital Management is exciting as it enables us to round out our wealth management practice with a local, experienced investment management team. In addition to doubling our assets under management and related fee income, Private Capital Management's unique and successful investment management approach is an excellent fit with our existing private banking and trust services."
For the nine months ending September 30, 2012, net income improved by approximately $7.8 million to $11.9 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period last year. Earnings per basic and diluted common share improved to $0.11 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from a loss per basic and diluted common share of $0.30. The prior year loss per common share calculation included a non-cash adjustment of approximately $19.8 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted common share, related to three quarters of paid-in-kind preferred stock dividends and the mandatory accelerated conversion of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock in September 2011. The increase in net income for the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 is primarily due to the reversal of the remaining deferred tax asset valuation allowance, discussed below, an increase in net interest income of $0.6 million, a decrease in provision for loan losses of $2.5 million, and a decrease in noninterest expense of $1.4 million. These improvements were partially offset by a reduction in noninterest income of $1.3 million, primarily related to lower net gains on sale of securities.
The Company had a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $6.6 million at December 31, 2011. During the second quarter 2012, the remaining deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $5.7 million was reversed based on the Company's determination that it is more likely than not that the entire deferred tax asset will be realized. Subsequent to the reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, the Company began recording income tax expense.

Net interest income decreased $0.9 million from $15.4 million in the second quarter 2012 to $14.5 million in the third quarter 2012 and decreased $0.6 million as compared to $15.1 million for the third quarter 2011. Net interest margin declined 40 basis points from 3.86% in the second quarter 2012 to 3.46% in the third quarter 2012 and declined 16 basis points from 3.62% in the third quarter 2011. The 16 basis point decline in net interest margin for the third quarter 2012 as compared to the same quarter in 2011 is mostly due to a 43 basis point decline in the yield on earning assets, partially offset by a 20 basis point decline in the cost of deposits.
On a linked quarter basis, interest income decreased $0.9 million from $17.7 million in the second quarter 2012 to $16.8 million in the third quarter 2012. The decline is primarily due to a decrease in average loan balances of $13.6 million due to the timing of when loans were paid-off during the quarter, coupled with a decline in loan yields of 17 basis points due to competitive market pressure. Further, investment interest income declined primarily due to higher premium amortization related to accelerated prepayments of agency mortgage backed securities and lower yields on replacement bonds resulting from the early calls of certain corporate bonds. The 44 basis point decline in the yield on earning assets during the quarter is mostly due to a change in mix of earning assets due to higher levels of overnight funding resulting from the growth in deposits and repurchase agreements. For the third quarter 2012, the Bank's average overnight balances were $170.9 million with an average yield of 0.25%, an increase of $67.1 million. Most of this increase in average overnight funding is due to a single depositor whose balance is expected to be re-deployed into the depositor's operations in early 2013.
Interest expense remained relatively flat in the third quarter 2012 as compared to the second quarter 2012 despite a $48.2 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of deposits declined by one basis point to 20 basis points in the quarter, while the cost of funds declined by four basis points to 57 basis points. Interest expense related to the Company's trust preferred-related subordinated debentures is expected to decline $0.1 million in future quarters due to the payoff of deferred interest related to this debt in the third quarter 2012.
Interest income declined $1.7 million from $18.5 million in the third quarter 2011 to $16.8 million in the third quarter 2012. The decline in interest income was primarily due to declines in average yields on loans and investments due to declines in longer-term, fixed rates in the market over the last twelve months. Interest expense declined $1.1 million from $3.4 million in the third quarter 2011 to $2.3 million in the third quarter 2012. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to the prepayment of $51.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings in September 2011 and a decrease of $78.5 million in average higher-cost, time deposits as compared to the third quarter 2011.
Net interest income increased $0.6 million, or 1.4%, for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 to $45.2 million from $44.6 million for the same period in 2011. The Company's net interest margin improved 21 basis points to 3.74% for the first nine months in 2012 from 3.53% for the first nine months in 2011. Interest income decreased $4.3 million primarily due to a decline in average interest-earning assets of $73.9 million, coupled with a decline in average yield of 16 basis points to 4.32% as compared to 4.48% for the same period in 2011. Interest expense decreased $4.9 million, or 41.4%, in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to a decline in average time deposit balances of $161.0 million, which was mostly due to the maturity of higher-cost, brokered and internet time deposits, and a decline in average borrowings of $52.6 million, which was primarily due to the September 2011 prepayment of several Federal Home Loan Bank notes.

========== ========= ========== ========== ==========
On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income increased $0.9 million in the third quarter 2012 primarily due to an increase in net gain from the sale of assets of $0.7 million consisting of gains on sale related to securities of $0.4 million; gains on sale related to Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans of $0.2 million; and the gain on sale of bank facilities of $0.1 million. Additionally, customer service fees increased $0.2 million primarily due to investment management fees generated by the Private Capital Management ("PCM") division acquired at the end of July 2012.
Noninterest income decreased $1.7 million to $3.8 million in the third quarter 2012, as compared to $5.5 million in the third quarter 2011 primarily due to a net decrease in the gain on sale of securities of $2.3 million, partially offset by the gain on sale related to SBA loans of $0.2 million, the gain on sale of bank facilities of $0.1 million and the increase in customer services fees of $0.2 million.
For the nine months ending September 30, 2012, noninterest income decreased $1.3 million to $9.8 million as compared to $11.1 million during the same period in the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in the net gains on sales of securities of $1.7 million, partially offset by the gains on sales of SBA loans and bank facilities as well as the increase in customer service fees, primarily investment management fees generated by PCM, as discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

========== ========= ========== ========== ==========
Noninterest expense decreased $3.3 million to $14.2 million in the third quarter 2012 as compared to $17.5 million in the second quarter 2012. The decrease is primarily due to the $2.8 million impairment on building premises recognized in the second quarter 2012 related to the Company's previously announced decision to close two underperforming branches. Further decreases in noninterest expense include reductions in salary and benefits of $0.1 million; reductions in occupancy expenses of $0.3 million related to branch closure savings; and reductions in insurance and assessment expenses of $0.1 million related to improvement in the Bank's FDIC risk rating in the third quarter 2012.
As compared to the third quarter in 2011, noninterest expense decreased $3.3 million primarily as a result of the $2.7 million prepayment penalty on FHLB borrowings incurred in the third quarter 2011. Further decreases in noninterest expense include reductions in amortization of intangible assets of $0.2 million; reductions in insurance and assessments of $0.2 million related to lower premium savings and lower FDIC assessments; and reductions in other general and administrative expenses of $0.3 million, primarily due to lower collection and litigation expenses. These decreases in noninterest expense are partially offset by the increase in OREO expense of $0.3 million, primarily related to net operating income received on a former OREO property in the third quarter 2011.
Noninterest expense decreased $1.4 million to $46.2 million for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 as compared to $47.6 million for the same period in 2011. The two largest variances in noninterest expense, the prepayment penalty on FHLB borrowings of $2.7 million incurred in September 2011 and the $2.8 impairment charge incurred in June 2012, are largely offsetting. Other noninterest expense decreases include reductions in amortization of intangible assets of $0.7 million and reductions in insurance and assessments of $0.7 million related to lower insurance premiums and FDIC assessments discussed in the preceding paragraphs. Partially offsetting these decreases is an increase in salary and benefit expenses of $0.6 million, or 3.1%, primarily related to annual salary increases.

At September 30, 2012, the Company had total assets of $1.8 billion, which represented a $145.6 million increase as compared to December 31, 2011 and a $142.9 million increase as compared to September 30, 2011. The increase in assets from December 31, 2011 consists primarily of a $90.2 million increase in investments, a $20.8 million increase in loans net of unearned discount, an $18.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $15.6 million increase in securities sold, not yet settled. As compared to September 30, 2011, the increase in total assets is primarily due to an increase in investments of $162.0 million, an increase in loans net of unearned discount of $30.6 million and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $34.6 million. These increases are partially offset by a decrease in securities sold, not yet settled of $73.5 million, a decrease in loans held for sale of $14.2 million and a decrease in premises and equipment of $8.3 million. In addition, the allowance for loan losses decreased by $7.3 million from $35.9 million at September 30, 2011 to $28.6 million at September 30, 2012.

For the nine months ending September 30, 2012, loans, net of unearned discount grew $20.8 million, primarily due to an increase in real estate loans. At September 30, 2012, the overall loan portfolio included 30.7% owner-occupied properties; 17.7% retail and industrial properties; 11.1% office properties; 10.1% other commercial real estate properties; and 4.5% multi-family properties. The Bank has capacity to extend additional credit on residential and commercial real estate loans as evidenced by the Bank's regulatory concentration ratios discussed below.
Since September 30, 2011, the ratio of construction, land and land development loans to capital decreased by 15 percentage points to 52% at September 30, 2012. During the same period, the ratio of commercial real estate loans to capital increased by 19 percentage points to 272%.

At September 30, 2012, noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits increased to 36.9% as compared to 34.3% at December 31, 2011 and 33.3% at September 30, 2011.
Non-maturing deposits increased $82.3 million, or 7.4%, in the third quarter 2012 as compared to the fourth quarter 2011 and $107.2 million, or 9.9%, as compared to third quarter 2011. Time deposits decreased $1.0 million as of September 30, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011 and $42.7 million as compared to September 30, 2011.
Securities sold under agreement to repurchase increased $67.1 million from $16.6 million as of December 31, 2011 to $83.7 million at September 30, 2012. This increase is primarily related to a single depositor whose balance is expected to be re-deployed into the depositor's operations in early 2013.
Total borrowings were $110.2 million at September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011. The Company elected to payoff $51.0 million of FHLB term notes in September 2011. The weighted average rate of these advances was 3.5% with maturity dates that ranged from November 2011 to February 2014. The entire balance of borrowings at each balance sheet date consists of term notes with the FHLB.

Generally, the allowance for loan losses is included in total capital for regulatory purposes; however, it is limited to 1.25% of total risk-weighted assets. At September 30, 2012, approximately $10.9 million of the Bank's allowance for loan losses was disallowed from being included in total risk-based capital under the regulatory capital rules, or approximately 0.77% of the Company's consolidated risk-weighted assets. At September 30, 2012, no deferred tax assets were disallowed for purposes of computing consolidated Tier 1 risk-based capital.

During the third quarter 2012, nonaccrual loans remained relatively flat as compared to June 30, 2012. However, shortly after the close of the third quarter, the largest single nonaccrual loan of $6.7 million paid off. During the third quarter 2012, classified loans declined $1.8 million and loans classified as special mention and watch loans declined by $4.0 million. Other real estate owned decreased by $1.1 million during the third quarter 2012 as compared to the second quarter 2012.
At September 30, 2012, classified assets as a percentage of capital and allowance for loan losses were 32.1%, a favorable decline from 33.8% at June 30, 2012 and 36.6% at December 31, 2011.
Net charge-offs in the third quarter 2012 were $0.7 million as compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter 2012 and $4.0 million in the third quarter 2011.
The general component of the allowance for loan losses decreased from $27.4 million at June 30, 2012 to $24.8 million at September 30, 2012. The general component represented 2.2% of loans, net of unearned discount, at September 30, 2012 as compared to 2.5% of loans, net of unearned discount, at the end of the previous quarter. The coverage ratio, defined as allowance for loan losses divided by nonperforming loans, decreased from 137.7% at June 30, 2012 to 131.6% at September 30, 2012.
The Company did not record a provision for loan losses in the third quarter 2012, as compared to $0.5 million provision in the second quarter 2012 and $1.0 million in the third quarter 2011. The decrease in provision for loan loss over last year reflects an overall improvement in asset quality.
