RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company” or “Union”) (NASDAQ:UBSH) today reported net operating earnings(1) of $21.3 million and operating earnings per share(1) of $0.49 for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017; these operating results exclude $661,000 in after-tax merger-related costs.  The Company's net operating earnings and operating earnings per share for the third quarter of 2017 represent increases of $1.0 million, or 4.9%, and $0.03, or 6.5%, respectively, in each case compared to the second quarter of 2017.  For the third quarter ended September 30, 2017, net income, which includes the impact of merger-related costs, was $20.7 million, an increase of $2.7 million, or 15.0%, compared to the second quarter of 2017, and earnings per share was $0.47, an increase of $0.06, or 14.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net operating earnings(1) were $60.8 million and operating earnings per share(1) were $1.39.  The Company's net operating earnings and operating earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 represent an increase of 7.2% and 7.8%, respectively, compared to the net income and earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net income, which includes the impact of merger-related costs, was $57.7 million, an increase of 1.8% compared to the same period in 2016, and earnings per share were $1.32, an increase of 2.3% compared to the same period in 2016.

Union delivered another solid quarterly performance with growth in operating earnings and earnings per share as we continue to gain market share and tell our unique story, which we believe is being well received in our markets,” said John C. Asbury, president and chief executive officer of Union Bankshares Corporation.  “Our profitability metrics improved, and I was especially pleased to see significant progress made in lowering the efficiency ratio this quarter. The Xenith acquisition remains on track to close in early January, and I am confident that our combination will accelerate the achievement of our top tier financial performance goals, which should provide our shareholders with above average returns on their investments over the long term.  Union is fast becoming something that Virginia hasn’t had in nearly 20 years - a statewide regional bank that is uniquely positioned to provide value to our teammates, customers, shareholders and the communities we serve.

  • The efficiency ratio (FTE) was 62.9% and the operating efficiency ratio (FTE)(1) was 62.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to the efficiency ratio (FTE) of 66.8% and operating efficiency ratio (FTE) of 63.8% for the prior quarter and efficiency ratio (FTE) of 64.4% for the third quarter of 2016.

(1) For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP operating measures that exclude merger-related costs unrelated to the Company’s normal operations, see Alternative Performance Measures (non-GAAP) section of the Key Financial Results. Such costs were only incurred during the second and third quarters of 2017; thus each of these operating measures is equivalent to the corresponding GAAP financial measure for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the third quarter of 2017, net interest income was $71.2 million, an increase of $2.2 million from the second quarter of 2017.  Tax-equivalent net interest income was $73.8 million, an increase of $2.2 million from the second quarter of 2017. The increases in both net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest income were driven by higher earning asset balances.  The third quarter net interest margin decreased 3 basis points to 3.46% from 3.49% in the previous quarter, while the tax-equivalent net interest margin also decreased 3 basis points to 3.59% from 3.62% during the same periods.  The decrease in the tax-equivalent net interest margin was principally due to the 4 basis point increase in tax-equivalent cost of funds partially offset by the 1 basis point increase in the tax-equivalent yield on earning assets.

The Company’s tax-equivalent net interest margin includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments.  During the third quarter of 2017, net accretion related to acquisition accounting increased $92,000, or 5.7%, from the prior quarter to $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.  The second and third quarters of 2017 as well as the remaining estimated net accretion impact are reflected in the following table (dollars in thousands):

ASSET QUALITY/LOAN LOSS PROVISION

Overview
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company experienced declines in nonperforming asset balances from the prior quarter, primarily related to charge-offs of nonaccrual loans.  The loan loss provision increased from the prior quarter due to loan growth and higher levels of charge-offs in the third quarter of 2017.  The allowance for loan losses and the related allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio decreased from the prior quarter primarily due to the continued decline in the historical loss rates and reductions in specific reserves on impaired loans that were charged off during the quarter.

All nonaccrual and past due loan metrics discussed below exclude purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans totaling $51.0 million (net of fair value mark of $11.7 million).

Nonperforming Assets (“NPAs”)
At September 30, 2017, NPAs totaled $28.9 million, a decline of $5.2 million, or 15.2%, from June 30, 2017 and an increase of $5.6 million, or 24.2%, from September 30, 2016.  In addition, NPAs as a percentage of total outstanding loans declined 8 basis points from 0.50% at June 30, 2017 and increased 4 basis points from 0.38% at September 30, 2016 to 0.42% at September 30, 2017.  As the Company's NPAs have been at historic lows over the last several quarters, certain changes from quarter to quarter might stand out in comparison to one another but have an insignificant impact on the Company's overall asset quality position.  The following table shows a summary of asset quality balances at the quarter ended (dollars in thousands):

Past Due Loans
Past due loans still accruing interest totaled $34.3 million, or 0.50% of total loans, at September 30, 2017 compared to $27.4 million, or 0.40% of total loans, at June 30, 2017 and $26.9 million, or 0.44% of total loans, at September 30, 2016.  Of the total past due loans still accruing interest, $4.5 million, or 0.07% of total loans, were loans past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2017, compared to $3.6 million, or 0.05% of total loans, at June 30, 2017 and $3.5 million, or 0.06% of total loans, at September 30, 2016.

Net Charge-offs
For the third quarter of 2017, net charge-offs were $4.1 million, or 0.24% of total average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $2.5 million, or 0.15%, for the prior quarter and $929,000, or 0.06%, for the same quarter last year.  Of the net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2017, the majority were previously considered impaired. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net charge-offs were $7.4 million, or 0.15% of total average loans on annualized basis, compared to $4.7 million, or 0.11%, for the same period in 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2017 was $3.1 million, an increase of $750,000 compared to the previous quarter and an increase of $653,000 compared to the same quarter in 2016.  The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily driven by higher loan balances and higher levels of charge-offs in the third quarter of 2017.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) decreased $1.1 million from June 30, 2017 to $37.2 million at September 30, 2017 primarily due to the continued decline in the historical loss rates and reductions in specific reserves on impaired loans that were charged off during the quarter.  The ALL as a percentage of the total loan portfolio was 0.54% at September 30, 2017, 0.56% at June 30, 2017, and 0.59% at September 30, 2016.

The ratio of the ALL to nonaccrual loans was 184.7% at September 30, 2017, compared to 155.5% at June 30, 2017 and 288.3% at September 30, 2016.  The current level of the allowance for loan losses reflects specific reserves related to nonperforming loans, current risk ratings on loans, net charge-off activity, loan growth, delinquency trends, and other credit risk factors that the Company considers important in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income decreased $520,000, or 2.9%, to $17.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 from $18.1 million in the prior quarter, primarily driven by lower loan-related swap fees and mortgage banking income, partially offset by increases in customer-related fee income and higher insurance-related income.

Mortgage banking income decreased $488,000, or 17.5%, to $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2017, related to declines in mortgage loan originations.  Mortgage loan originations declined by $9.2 million, or 6.8%, in the third quarter to $127.3 million from $136.6 million in the second quarter of 2017.  The majority of the decrease was related to purchase-money mortgage loans, which declined by $13.0 million from the prior quarter.   Of the mortgage loan originations in the third quarter of 2017, 28.0% were refinances compared with 23.4% in the prior quarter.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense decreased $2.4 million, or 4.1%, to $57.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 from $59.9 million in the prior quarter.  Excluding merger-related costs of $732,000 and $2.7 million in the third and second quarters of 2017, respectively, operating noninterest expense decreased $422,000 when compared to the second quarter of 2017. Salaries and benefits expenses declined by $792,000 primarily related to declines in incentive compensation.  Marketing and advertising costs decreased $335,000 due to seasonally lower expenses.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in OREO and credit-related expenses of $797,000 primarily due to higher valuation adjustments of $569,000 and losses on sales of OREO property compared to gains on sales of OREO property in the prior quarter.

At September 30, 2017, total assets were $9.0 billion, an increase of $114.2 million from June 30, 2017 and an increase of $771.2 million from September 30, 2016.  The increase in assets was mostly related to loan growth.

The Company’s common equity to total assets ratios at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2016 were 11.53%, 11.56%, and 12.12%, respectively, while its tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.34%, 8.32%, and 8.57%, respectively.

(1) Net interest income (FTE), which is used in computing net interest margin (FTE) and efficiency ratio (FTE), provides valuable additional insight into the net interest margin and the efficiency ratio by adjusting for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources.  The entire FTE adjustment is attributable to interest income on earning assets, which is used in computing yield on earning assets.  Interest expense and the related cost of interest-bearing liabilities and cost of funds ratios are not affected by the FTE components.

(2)  Tangible common equity is used in the calculation of certain profitability, capital, and per share ratios.  The Company believes tangible common equity and the related ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy because they provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which the Company believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and its ability to absorb potential losses.

(3) Operating measures exclude merger-related costs unrelated to the Company’s normal operations. Such costs were only incurred during the second and third quarters of 2017; thus each of these operating measures is equivalent to the corresponding GAAP financial measure for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors as they exclude certain costs resulting from acquisition activity and allow investors to more clearly see the combined economic results of the organization's operations.

(4) All ratios at September 30, 2017 are estimates and subject to change pending the Company’s filing of its FR Y9-C. All other periods are presented as filed.
