  • The Company's total loans increased $340.8 million, or 14.5%, from December 31, 2013.

Loans

The Company's loans totaled $2.7 billion at September 30, 2014, an increase of $121.5 million, or 4.7%, from June 30, 2014, and $340.8 million, or 14.5%, from December 31, 2013. Loan growth continued to be driven primarily by increases in construction, commercial real estate and commercial loans due to favorable economic market conditions in the New Orleans trade area.  The Company has experienced strong loan demand in the markets it services as evidenced by the increase in loans and its loan pipeline quarter over quarter.   The increase in the Company's construction loan portfolio of 49.8% from December 31, 2013 was due primarily to the funding of construction loans related to hotels, residential real estate development, and federal tax credit related projects. The growth in the Company's commercial loan portfolio was due in part to growth in the oil and gas industry, specifically with respect to oil and gas service companies. The Company expects these positive growth trends to continue through the fourth quarter of 2014.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Deposits

Total deposits at September 30, 2014 were $3.0 billion, an increase of $13.7 million, or 0.5%, from June 30, 2014, and $240.4 million, or 8.8%, from December 31, 2013.  The increase was driven primarily by an increase in money market deposit accounts of $83.1 million, or 9.6%, from June 30, 2014, partially offset by declines in NOW accounts and certificates of deposit. The Company has experienced a shift by some customers from NOW accounts to money market deposits due to the Company lowering NOW account rates in the spring of 2014, especially in the lower balance tiers. The Company has also seen a decrease in certificates of deposit balances following the implementation of tiered pricing on its certificates of deposit in an effort to reduce the average yield. As a result of the Company's efforts, the Company's certificates of deposit comprised 39.3% of the deposit mix as of September 30, 2014, compared to 40.7% as of June 30, 2014, and 44.6% as of December 31, 2013. As the certificates of deposit mature, the Company has seen those customers move to money market accounts, which have increased 9.6% from June 30, 2014 and 44.3% from December 31, 2013. Money market deposits comprised 31.8% of the deposit mix as of September 30, 2014, compared to 29.2% as of June 30, 2014, and 24.0% as of December 31, 2013. The Company expects this trend to continue as certificates of deposit issued prior to the implementation of the tiered pricing program continue to mature.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's deposits as of the dates indicated.

(dollars in thousands) September 30, 2014 June 30, 2014 % Change December 31, 2013 % Change
Noninterest-bearing  $ 336,112  $ 340,716 (1.4)%  $ 291,080 15.5 %

Total deposits  $ 2,971,205  $ 2,957,519 0.5 %  $ 2,730,807 8.8 %

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $27.8 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 4.6%, from the linked-quarter and an increase of $5.9 million, or 27.2%, from the three month period ended September 30, 2013.  The Company's net interest margin was 3.37% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, which was 2 basis points higher than the linked-quarter, and 29 basis points higher than the third quarter of 2013.  The 2 basis points increase in the net interest margin over the linked-quarter was due primarily to the increase in average interest-earning assets, a decrease of 1 basis point in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which was due to a 1 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The 29 basis point increase in the net interest margin over the same three month period in 2013 was due primarily to an increase of 18 basis points in the average rate on interest-earning assets due primarily to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $458.4 million, a decrease of 10 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities primarily due to the decrease of 8 basis points in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and the refinancing of $40.0 million of the Company's long term borrowings during the first quarter of 2014.  The Company expects these positive net interest margin trends to continue into the fourth quarter of 2014 due to the implementation of tiered pricing on all of its deposit products (including certificates of deposit) in the third and fourth quarters of 2013.

The following tables set forth the Company's average volume and rate of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $3.0 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 3.4%, compared to the second quarter of 2014, and an increase of $0.6 million, or 23.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2013.  The increase in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the linked-quarter resulted primarily from the increase of $0.5 million in gain on sale of loans, which relates to the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA/USDA loans, offset primarily by a decrease of $0.2 million in other noninterest income, which was primarily due to the recognition in the second quarter of 2014 of $0.3 million from an option agreement the Company had with a customer.  

Noninterest income increased $0.6 million, or 23.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2013.  The increase was driven by increases of $0.5 million in gain on sale of loans, $0.2 million in income from sales of state tax credits, and $0.2 million in cash surrender value income on bank owned life insurance. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Community Development Entity fees of $0.3 million. 

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 totaled $20.0 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 8.0%, compared to the linked-quarter, and an increase of $3.0 million, or 17.3%, compared to three month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase over the linked-quarter was due primarily to increases in tax credit amortization of $0.6 million, salaries and benefits of $0.5 million, and $0.1 million in advertising and marketing, which was partially offset by a decrease in taxes, licenses and FDIC assessments of $0.1 million.

The increase in noninterest expense compared to the third quarter of 2013 resulted primarily from an increase in tax credit amortization of $1.6 million as well as all other components of noninterest expense.

Taxes

The Company's tax benefit for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $6.6 million, an increase of $1.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2014, and an increase of $0.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2013. The increase compared to the linked-quarter and prior year third quarter was due to the increase in the Company's investment in various tax credit programs, especially in Federal Historic Rehabilitation tax credits primarily in the New Orleans area.  

The Company expects to experience an effective tax rate below the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to its receipt of Federal New Markets Tax Credits, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity totaled $423.5 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $41.7 million from December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company's retained earnings over the period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. Among other things, management utilizes a non-GAAP performance measure to adjust noninterest income to reflect the effect of the federal income tax credits generated from the Company's investment in tax credit entities, offset by the direct costs associated with the tax credit investments, to derive at an adjusted income before income taxes non-GAAP measure.   Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides information useful to investors in understanding the Company's financial results, and the Company believes that its presentation, together with the accompanying reconciliation, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's business and allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management, the entire financial services sector, bank stock analysts and bank regulators.  This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results, and the Company strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare this financial measure with other companies' non-GAAP financial measure having the same or similar name.  A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure disclosed in this press release to the comparable GAAP financial measure is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
