  • Completed acquisition of CBS Financial Corporation
  • Acquisition core system conversion completed July 15, 2016
  • Year over year quarterly increase of $3.9 million in net interest income
  • Basic and diluted EPS of $0.09 for the quarter
  • Bankcard and deposit fee quarterly income grew year over year by $431,000, or 16.1%
  • Nonperforming assets at 0.46% of total assets at June 30, 2016

WEST POINT, Ga., July 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Charter Financial Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:CHFN) today reported net income of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, respectively, compared with net income of $1.9 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Net income for the current year quarter decreased 32.2% over the prior year quarter due in part to $3.5 million of costs incurred related to the acquisition of CBS Financial Corporation ("CBS"), which was completed on April 15, 2016, as well as write-downs of $325,000 on assets available for sale, partially offset by a $3.9 million increase in net interest income. Additional merger-related costs are expected to be incurred as full conversion and integration of Community Bank of the South into CharterBank has been completed as of July 2016.

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, was $8.1 million, or $0.56 and $0.53 per basic and diluted share, respectively, compared with net income of $5.0 million, or $0.32 and $0.30 per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2015. The year over year increase was partially attributable to $3.6 million of nonrecurring recoveries on loans that were previously covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC.

Quarterly Operating Results

Quarterly earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2015 were positively impacted by the following items:

  • Loan interest income increased $3.6 million, or 39.8%, while loan interest income excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable increased $3.8 million, or 50.3%.
  • Net interest margin was 3.97% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with 3.62% for the same quarter of fiscal 2015, while net interest margin excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable was 3.53% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with 3.21% for the same quarter of fiscal 2015.
  • Deposit and bankcard fee income increased by a combined $431,000, or 16.1%.
  • Interest expense on FHLB borrowings decreased $75,000, or 13.8%, due to a maturing advance being extended at a substantially lower rate.
  • Nonrecurring income of $259,000 on bank owned life insurance.

The above increases to net income were more than offset by the following items:

  • Approximately $3.5 million of costs related to the CBS merger, consisting primarily of severance payments, occupancy expense, and legal and professional fees.
  • Write-downs of $325,000 on assets available for sale.

Chairman and CEO Robert L. Johnson said, “We are pleased with the results of our third fiscal quarter, our first following the acquisition of CBS. We continued to deliver strong earnings in spite of substantial one-time expenses related to the acquisition. With the systems conversion of CBS completed in July and our new Buckhead branch set to open in early Fall, we believe we will begin to capitalize on our market extension into the attractive North Atlanta market.”

Financial Condition

The Company's total assets increased $400.8 million to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2016, from $1.0 billion at September 30, 2015. Net loans increased $279.0 million, or 39.0%, to $993.8 million at June 30, 2016, from $714.8 million at September 30, 2015. These increases were largely attributable to the completion of the acquisition of CBS, which brought in $376.5 million of total assets and $300.9 million of loans, respectively.

Mr. Johnson continued, “The addition of the approximately $300 million in loans and deposits acquired in the CBS acquisition provides additional leverage to our capital and brings us closer to our earning targets.”

Total deposits were $1.2 billion at June 30, 2016, compared with $738.9 million at September 30, 2015. The increase was due in part to the acquisition of CBS, which added $334.0 million of deposits to the Company's portfolio, as well as a continued increase in the Company's legacy deposits, which grew $73.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2016. Overall, transaction and money market accounts increased $144.8 million and $120.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2016.

Total stockholders' equity decreased to $199.8 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $204.9 million at September 30, 2015, due primarily to $13.2 million of share repurchases during fiscal 2016, offset by $8.1 million of net income during the same period. Book value per share increased to $13.29 at June 30, 2016, from $12.79 per share at September 30, 2015, due to the effects of the company's stock repurchases. Tangible book value per share decreased to $11.11 at June 30, 2016, compared to $12.48 at September 30, 2015, due to $25.7 million of goodwill generated by the purchase of CBS, partially offset by stock repurchases during fiscal 2016 and the associated reduced share count at June 30, 2016.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income increased to $12.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with $8.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Interest income increased $4.3 million due to a $3.8 million increase in loan interest income, excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable, combined with a $393,000 increase in net purchase discount accretion and amortization of loss share receivable. Quarter over quarter, total interest expense increased $334,000 to $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, largely due to increased balances of higher-costing deposits from CBS. Net interest margin was 3.97% for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 3.62% for the same period in 2015. The Company's net interest margin, excluding the effects of purchase accounting, increased to 3.53% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with 3.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Net interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, increased $6.4 million, or 27.0%, to $30.0 million, compared to $23.6 million for the prior year period. Interest income increased $6.6 million primarily due to an increase of $4.0 million, or 15.0%, in loan interest income to $30.9 million. Loan interest income, excluding accretion and amortization of loss share receivable, increased $5.2 million, while net purchase discount accretion and amortization of loss share receivable increased $1.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2016.

Under purchase accounting rules, the Company currently expects to realize remaining loan discount accretion of $853,000 over the next five quarters related to its acquisitions of McIntosh Community Bank and the First National Bank of Florida, pursuant to its previous entry into loss share agreements with the FDIC, and $3.4 million on the CBS acquisition over the life of the loans acquired.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a $100,000 negative provision for loan losses in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, due to the continued positive credit quality trends of the loan portfolio, as well as a continued build-up of reserves due to net recoveries of previously charged-off loans. No provision was recorded in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, increased $887,000 to $4.7 million, compared with $3.8 million for the prior year period. The increase was due to a $431,000 increase in bankcard fee and other deposit fee income along with a $167,000 increase in gain on sale of loans and servicing released loan fees, as well as nonrecurring income of $259,000 in bank owned life insurance in other noninterest income.

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, increased $6.0 million to $15.1 million, compared with the same period in fiscal 2015, primarily due to $3.5 million in merger expenses  related to the CBS acquisition, as well as write-downs of $325,000 on assets available for sale and a $73,000 lease-cancellation charge.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, increased $5.2 million to $16.0 million, compared with $10.8 million for the prior year period. The improvement was due to a $1.1 million increase in bankcard fee and other deposit fee income along with $3.6 million in nonrecurring recoveries on loans that were previously covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, increased $7.2 million to $34.0 million, compared with the same period in fiscal 2015, attributable to $4.0 million of merger-related costs in the current year period, along with unrelated increases in salaries and employee benefits and legal and professional fees.

Asset Quality

Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming assets at 0.46% of total assets and the allowance for loan losses at 1.00% of total loans and 300.10% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2016. Not included in the allowance is $3.4 million in yield and credit discounts on the CBS acquired loans. The allowance for loan losses was 1.37% of legacy loans. The Company recorded net loan recoveries of $367,000 and $729,000 in its allowance for loan losses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared with net loan recoveries of $24,000 and charge-offs of $38,000 for the same periods in fiscal 2015.

Capital Management

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 9,639 shares of its common stock for approximately $121,000, or $12.53 per share. Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2014 through the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company repurchased a combined 8.1 million shares, or 35.6%, of the Company's common stock at an amount of $91.9 million, which approximates tangible book value.

The Company completed the acquisition of CBS for a total purchase price of $55.9 million during the quarter.

Mr. Johnson concluded, “Our strategy of increasing capital and operating leverage has improved shareholder value, and our stock repurchases over the last 11 quarters have returned capital to our shareholders. With our stock now trading above book value, we will focus our efforts on leveraging our expense structure through organic growth and possible acquisitive growth, improving our noninterest income and realizing the anticipated growth in earnings as a result of our Atlanta expansion.”

 (1)Net interest income excluding accretion and amortization of acquired loans divided by average net interest earning assets excluding average loan accretable discounts in the amount of $4.7 million, $2.0 million, $3.1 million, $3.8 million, and $3.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015, September 30, 2015, and June 30, 2015, respectively.
 (2)During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, a downstream of capital was made between the holding company and the bank in the amount of $6.1 million as part of the Company's acquisition of CBS.
 (3)Due to the early termination of the FDIC loss share agreements in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, ratios for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 include all previously covered assets with the exception of FAS ASC 310-30 loans that are excluded from nonperforming loans due to the ongoing recognition of accretion income established at the time of acquisition. Ratios for periods prior to September 30, 2015, represent non-covered data only.
 (4)Accounting requirements for the third quarter 2016 acquisition of CBS have affected the comparability of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans. Excluding former CBS loans totaling $264.7 million at June 30, 2016, which were recorded at acquisition date fair value, the allowance approximated 1.37% of all other loans at June 30, 2016.
