BancorpSouth Announces Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

TUPELO, Miss., July 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BancorpSouth, Inc. (NYSE: BXS) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Highlights for the second quarter of 2017 included:

  • Net income of $37.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share.
  • Generated net loan growth of $216.8 million, or 8.1 percent on an annualized basis.
  • Net interest margin increased to 3.52 percent.
  • Earnings were negatively impacted by a pre-tax mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") valuation adjustment of $1.5 million.
  • Net operating income – excluding MSR – of $38.8 million, or $0.42 per diluted share.
  • Credit quality remained stable; recorded provision for credit losses of $1.0 million for the quarter.
  • Total operating expense remained flat compared to the first quarter of 2017 and the second quarter of 2016 and operating efficiency ratio – excluding MSR – declined to 67.3 percent.
  • Repurchased 1,381,634 shares of outstanding common stock at a weighted average price of $29.64 per share.

The Company reported net income of $37.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017 compared with net income of $34.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016 and net income of $38.1 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2017.    

The Company reported net operating income – excluding MSR – of $38.8 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $37.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016 and $36.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2017.  Net operating income – excluding MSR – is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to assess the core operating performance of the Company.  This measure excludes items such as securities gains and losses, MSR valuation adjustments, restructuring charges, merger-related expenses, industry-related legal settlements, and other one-time charges. 

"We are pleased our second quarter results reflect continued earnings growth and improvement in many of our operating metrics," remarked Dan Rollins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "While our second quarter deposit balances reflect an expected seasonal decline, our loan growth rebounded nicely after a slower first quarter.  We reported net loan growth of $216.8 million, or 8.1 percent on an annualized basis, which resulted in loans and leases surpassing $11 billion for the first time in our Company's history.  Total operating expenses continue to remain flat, which resulted in a decline in the operating efficiency ratio - excluding MSR - to 67.3 percent, the lowest level we have achieved since 2010.  Finally, we continue to be active in our share repurchase program, as we repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares during the quarter at a weighted average price of $29.64 per share."

"Additionally, our net interest margin increased to 3.52 percent from 3.46 percent for the first quarter of this year.  The margin benefited primarily from increases in yields on our loan portfolio.  We expect recent rate increases to continue to provide some benefit to our loan yields as our variable rate loans reach repricing dates over time."  

Net Interest Revenue

Net interest revenue was $117.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of 4.6 percent from $112.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 and an increase of 2.5 percent from $114.6 million for the first quarter of 2017.  The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.52 percent for the second quarter of 2017 compared to 3.56 percent for the second quarter of 2016 and 3.46 percent for the first quarter of 2017.  Yields on loans and leases were 4.27 percent for the second quarter of 2017 compared with 4.20 percent for both the second quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, while yields on total interest earning assets were 3.80 percent for the second quarter of 2017 compared with 3.78 percent for the second quarter of 2016 and 3.70 percent for the first quarter of 2017.  The average cost of deposits was 0.25 percent for the second quarter of 2017 compared to 0.21 percent for the second quarter of 2016 and 0.23 percent for the first quarter of 2017.

Asset, Deposit and Loan Activity

Total assets were $14.8 billion at June 30, 2017 compared with $14.1 billion at June 30, 2016.  Loans and leases, net of unearned income, were $11.0 billion at June 30, 2017 compared with $10.6 billion at June 30, 2016. 

Total deposits were $11.9 billion at June 30, 2017 compared with $11.4 billion at June 30, 2016.  Time deposits decreased $57.3 million, or 3.1 percent, at June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016.  Over the same time period, interest bearing demand deposits increased $256.9 million, or 5.3 percent, while noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $257.0 million, or 8.2 percent, and savings deposits increased $117.4 million, or 7.8 percent.

Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses

Earnings for the second quarter reflect a provision for credit losses of $1.0 million, compared to a provision of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2016 and a provision of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2017.  Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2017 were $4.6 million, compared with net charge-offs of $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2016 and net recoveries of $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2017.  The allowance for credit losses was $121.6 million, or 1.10 percent of net loans and leases, at June 30, 2017, compared with $126.9 million, or 1.20 percent of net loans and leases, at June 30, 2016 and $125.2 million, or 1.16 percent of net loans and leases, at March 31, 2017.  The increase in net charge-offs and the decline in the allowance for credit losses for the second quarter of 2017 were primarily the result of charge-offs associated with loans for which a specific reserve was recorded in previous quarters. 

Total non-performing assets ("NPAs") were $79.4 million, or 0.72 percent of net loans and leases, at June 30, 2017 compared with $94.9 million, or 0.90 percent of net loans and leases, at June 30, 2016, and $90.0 million, or 0.83 percent of net loans and leases, at March 31, 2017.  Other real estate owned was $7.7 million at June 30, 2017 compared with $14.7 million at June 30, 2016 and $8.5 million at March 31, 2017.

Noninterest Revenue

Noninterest revenue was $68.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $68.5 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $70.9 million for the first quarter of 2017.  These results included a negative MSR valuation adjustment of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared with a negative MSR valuation adjustment of $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2016 and a positive MSR valuation adjustment of $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2017.  Valuation adjustments in the MSR asset are driven primarily by fluctuations in interest rates period over period.   

Excluding the MSR valuation adjustments, mortgage banking revenue was $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $12.0 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2017.  Mortgage origination volume for the second quarter of 2017 was $385.9 million, compared with $462.6 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $287.8 million for the first quarter of 2017.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures and Other Non-GAAP Ratio Definitions

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

                               
                               

Management evaluates the Company's capital position and operating performance by utilizing certain financial measures not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), including net operating income, net operating income-excluding MSR, total operating expense, tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets, return on tangible equity, operating return on tangible equity-excluding MSR,  operating return on average assets-excluding MSR, operating return on average shareholders' equity-excluding MSR, tangible book value per share, operating earnings per share, operating earnings per share-excluding MSR, efficiency ratio (tax equivalent) and operating efficiency ratio-excluding MSR (tax equivalent).  The Company has included these non-GAAP financial measures in this news release for the applicable periods presented.  Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures (i) provides important supplemental information that contributes to a proper understanding of the Company's capital position and operating performance, (ii) enables a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's business and (iii) allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance in a manner similar to management, the financial services industry, bank stock analysts and bank regulators.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented in the tables below.  These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP financial measures, and the Company strongly encourages investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this news release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure.  In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this news release with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

Return on tangible equity is defined by the Company as annualized net income divided by tangible shareholders' equity.

                               

(3)

Operating return on tangible equity-excluding MSR is defined by the Company as annualized net operating income-excluding MSR divided by tangible shareholders' equity.

                               

(4)

Operating return on average assets-excluding MSR is defined by the Company as annualized net operating income-excluding MSR divided by total average assets.

                               

(5)

Efficiency Ratio (tax equivalent) and Operating Efficiency Ratio-excluding MSR (tax equivalent) Definitions

               

The efficiency ratio (tax equivalent) and the operating efficiency ratio-excluding MSR (tax equivalent) are supplemental financial measures utilized in management's internal evaluation of the
Company's use of resources and are not defined under GAAP. The efficiency ratio (tax equivalent) is calculated by dividing total noninterest expense by total revenue, which includes net
interest income plus noninterest income plus the tax equivalent adjustment.  The operating efficiency ratio-excluding MSR (tax equivalent) excludes expense items otherwise disclosed as non-
operating from total noninterest expense.  In addition, the MSR valuation adjustment as well as securities gains and losses are excluded from total revenue.
