AMERICAN FORK, Utah, Oct. 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- People’s Utah Bancorp (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:PUB) today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Consolidated net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $6.2 million compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2015, an increase of 12.0% and 18.6%, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was $0.34 compared to $0.31 in the second quarter of 2016 and $0.29 for the third quarter in 2015.
“PUB continues its positive trend by posting strong operating results for the third quarter of 2016 compared to the prior quarter of 2016. Our current quarter’s net income, diluted earnings per share, return on average equity and return on average assets were all higher when compared to the prior quarter. We are also pleased with our overall loan and deposit growth year-over-year and the continued improvement in our efficiency ratio. We also have increased our quarterly dividend to $0.08 per share. We continue to look for opportunities to utilize our capital, including a plan to add new branches to expand our marketplace and review potential acquisition opportunities both of which we believe would enhance shareholder value,” said Richard Beard, President and Chief Executive Officer of People’s Utah Bancorp.

Earnings Summary
Net income for the third quarter of 2016 of $6.2 million compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2016 was impacted primarily by the following factors: (a) higher net interest income of $0.4 million and an increase in loan loss provision of $0.1 million, (b) a decrease in non-interest expense of $0.5 million and (c) offset by an increase in income tax expense of $0.1 million. These factors contributed to diluted earnings per share increasing to $0.34 per share in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $0.31 per share in the second quarter of 2016.
Net income for the third quarter of 2016 of $6.2 million compared to $5.3 million in the corresponding third quarter of 2015 was impacted primarily by the following factors: (a) higher net interest income of $1.8 million, (b) an increase in non-interest income of $0.4 million, (c) offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $0.5 million and in income tax expense of $0.7 million. These factors contributed to higher diluted earnings per share of $0.34 per share in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $0.29 per share in the corresponding third quarter of 2015.
Return on average assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was 1.55% compared to 1.43% in the second quarter of 2016. Return on average equity for the third quarter of 2016 was 11.09% compared to 10.23% in the second quarter of 2016.
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2016 increased $0.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to an increase in loans held for investment of $9.6 million, offset by a decrease in the percentage of loans held for investment in our earning asset mix. This resulted in our net interest margin declining to 4.60% in the current quarter compared to 4.66% in the second quarter of 2016.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2016 increased $1.8 million when compared to the comparable quarter of 2015, primarily due to an increase in loans held for investment of $111.9 million and a higher percentage of loans held for investment in our earning asset mix. This resulted in the higher net interest margin of 4.60% in the current quarter compared to 4.43% in the third quarter of 2015.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2016 was $100,000 higher compared to the second quarter of 2016 and $125,000 higher than the third quarter of 2015 principally due to net charge-offs of $296,000 and loan growth experienced during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter and the third quarter of 2015. We continue to experience low levels of non-performing assets which was 0.32% of total assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2016 was basically even when compared to the second quarter of 2016; and increased by 10.6% compared to the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to higher mortgage banking and card processing income, offset by declines in service charges. Although the Company has experienced higher residential mortgage loan volumes compared to prior years, we believe this growth may not continue in future periods because the mortgage banking business has historically been a cyclical business.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2016 decreased by $0.5 million or 4.0% compared to the second quarter of 2016 and increased by $0.5 million or 4.0% compared to the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter 2016 was primarily driven by an infrequent insurance premium refund of $0.3 million, with the remaining $0.2 million coming from reduced FDIC premiums from lower rates and a decrease in data processing costs. The increase in the third quarter 2016 compared to the comparable quarter in 2015 is primarily from higher salaries and benefits of $0.4 million and various other expenses of $0.1 million, including expenses related to higher marketing and advertising and occupancy costs. The increase in salaries and benefits is primarily due to annual salary increases, higher variable compensation costs, increased payroll taxes and medical benefits (net of the insurance refund), to supporting our balance sheet and income growth.
Our efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2016 improved to 54.04% compared to 57.38% in the second quarter of 2016 and 57.93% in the corresponding third quarter of 2015. While we continue to focus on improving our efficiency ratio, our efficiency ratio in 2017 could be impacted by investments in new branches which we hope to open during the first half of 2017. We had anticipated opening one of the branches at the end of this year, but permitting delays have moved the opening to next year.
Income Tax Provision
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 was 36.2% compared to 37.9% for the second quarter of 2016 and 35.1% in the third quarter of 2015. The tax rate in 2016 is higher than 2015 due primarily to a one-time tax credit of approximately $400,000 in 2015. The income tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 decreased compared to the second quarter of 2016 due to adjustments in the expected recoverability of certain tax credits recorded in the prior quarter.
Loans and Credit Quality
Loans held for investment in the third quarter of 2016 increased 11.3% year-over-year and 5.5% from December 31, 2015. Average loans grew $115.5 million to $1.1 billion year-over-year comparing the nine-months ended 2016 to the same period in 2015.
Non-performing assets decreased to $5.3 million as of September 30, 2016 compared to $6.0 million as of the second quarter 2016 and from $8.0 million as of the year-end 2015 and $10.0 million as of the third quarter of 2015 due to improving credit quality in the loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2016, the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets has declined to 0.32% compared to 0.64% as of September 30, 2015. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans has declined to 1.44% as of September 30, 2016 compared to 1.54% as of September 30, 2015.
Investment Securities
Investment securities at September 30, 2016 declined by 2.8% to $387.6 million compared to year-end 2015 to partially fund loan growth; and increased 7.5% when compared to $360.4 million at September 30, 2015 primarily from the year-over-year growth in deposits.
Deposits and Liabilities
Total deposits at the end of the third quarter of 2016 were $1.41 billion compared to $1.31 billion at December 31, 2015 and $1.33 billion at September 30, 2015. Increases during these periods were primarily due to growth of the client base and new customers. Non-interest-bearing deposits were 32.9% of total deposits as of September 30, 2016 compared to 31.2% as of December 31, 2015 and 32.2% as of September 30, 2015. Short-term borrowings declined from $27.2 million at December 31, 2015 to $3.2 million at September 30, 2016.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity increased to $225.2 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $209.4 million as of year-end 2015 and $206.6 million at September 30, 2015. The increase resulted primarily from net income during the intervening periods net of cash dividends paid to shareholders.
Dividend
As previously announced on October 19, 2016, the Board of Directors declared an increase of 14.3% in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.08 per share. The dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on November 1, 2016 and paid on November 11, 2016. The dividend payout ratio for earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 22.9%.
