Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. Reports Net Income of $5.1 Million in 2017

Board announces quarterly cash dividend


SEATTLE, Jan. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:SFBC), the holding company (the "Company") for Sound Community Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, or diluted earnings per share of $2.00, as compared to net income of $5.4 million, or diluted earnings per share of $2.09, for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Net income for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $1.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in net income compared to the same quarter last year was mainly due to a revaluation adjustment of deferred tax assets as a result of the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  The tax revaluation resulted in an increase to the Company’s income tax expense and a $309,000 or $0.12 reduction in earnings per diluted share.  Total assets were $645.2 million as of December 31, 2017 compared to $588.4 million as of December 31, 2016.

The Company also announced today that the Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend on Company common stock of $0.12 per share, payable on February 26, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 12, 2018.

“We had a year of excellent balance sheet growth with success in both deposit and loan origination.  The net interest margin remained higher than the prior year as we maintained our cost of deposits within one basis point of the cost in 2016 and increased our loan yield,” said Laurie Stewart, President and CEO of the Company and the Bank.  “In both cases the mix of products helped contribute to these results,” concluded Ms. Stewart.

Operating Results

Net interest income increased $2.0 million, or 8.8%, to $24.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $22.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.  The increase was primarily a result of increased interest income on loans, due to both higher average balances and loan yields, partially offset by increased interest expense. 

Interest income increased $2.4 million, or 9.6%, to $27.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $25.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.  Interest income on loans increased $2.1 million, or 8.5%, to $26.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $24.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.  The change from the comparable period one year ago was primarily due to higher average loan balances.  The average balance of the loan portfolio was $508.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $474.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The weighted-average yield on the loan portfolio was 5.25% for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to 5.19% for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Interest income on investments increased $300,000, or 67.9%, to $742,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $442,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016.  The change from the prior year was due to higher cash balances and higher average yields due to the increase in interest rates over the past year.  Also included in interest income on investments, was a $57,000 discount that was taken into income in July 2017 as a result of an early redemption of a non-agency mortgage-backed security.

Interest expense increased $449,000, or 15.4%, to $3.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $2.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.  Interest expense on deposits increased $313,000, or 11.6%, to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The increase from the prior year was primarily a result of the higher average deposit balances during 2017.  Average deposits increased to $493.6 million at December 31, 2017, as compared to $452.5 million at December 31, 2016.  The increase in deposits was the result of organic growth and the acquisition of $14.5 million in deposits in connection with our University Place branch acquisition in July 2017.  The weighted-average cost of deposits increased to 0.61% for 2017 compared to 0.60% for 2016.  The cost of borrowings increased $136,000, or 64.5%, to $347,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017, from $211,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016.  The increase in the borrowing cost for 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily due to the increase in the weighted-average cost of borrowings.  The weighted-average cost of borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2017 was 1.16% compared to 0.58% for the year ended December 31, 2016.  As the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates over the past year, those increases are reflected in the borrow costs from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines.

The net interest margin increased to 4.35% for 2017, compared to 4.26% for 2016.  The increase for the year over year period was due to the combination of increases in both the average balance and yield on loans.  The weighted-average yield on loans increased six basis points during 2017.  The weighted-average gross loan balance increased $34.2 million, or 7.2%, in 2017 compared to $474.4 million in 2016.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to a $454,000 provision for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The increase in the provision for loan losses for the year was primarily a result of the increase in the loan portfolio and also reflects improvements in our asset quality metrics.  The gross loan portfolio increased $48.6 million, or 9.7% compared to December 31, 2016.  Net charge-offs for 2017 totaled $81,000 compared to $268,000 for 2016.  Nonperforming loans decreased to $2.3 million at December 31, 2017 compared to $3.3 million at December 31, 2016. 

Noninterest income decreased $1.3 million, or 24.6%, to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The decrease from one year ago was primarily the result of a $613,000 decline in service charges and fee income, a $341,000 decline in mortgage servicing income, and a $295,000 decrease in the gain on sale of loans.  The decrease in service charges and fee income included a decrease in loan fees, as well as overdraft fees.  The decrease in loan fees was due to the deferral of additional loan fees compared to the same period in 2016 as well as lower loan volumes.  During 2017, we originated and sold $52.0 million of loans compared with $88.1 million in 2016.  The decrease in mortgage servicing income compared to one year ago was due to both the lower underlying principal balance of loans being serviced as well as a slight decrease in the market value of the servicing rights.  Total loans serviced for others was $411.4 million at December 31, 2017 compared to $423.9 million at December 31, 2016.  The market value of the servicing rights decreased to 83 basis points as of December 31, 2017 from 84 basis points as of December 31, 2016.  The decline in the gain on sale of loans was due to a lower volume of loans originated and sold on the secondary market reflecting the increase in residential mortgage interest rates over the last year resulting in a decrease in refinance activity. 

Noninterest expense increased $526,000, or 2.8%, to $19.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, from $18.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The increase from the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to higher occupancy expense, higher salaries and benefits expense and higher losses and expense related to other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets, partially offset by lower regulatory expenses.  The increase in occupancy expense was a result of the relocation of the Company’s headquarters to a new location, the costs associated with the acquisition of the University Place branch, as well as amortization expenses resulting from purchases of fixed assets and tenant improvements.  Salaries and benefits expense was higher compared to 2016 primarily due to higher full-time equivalents (“FTE’s”) at December 31, 2017 compared to one year ago partially offset by lower benefit expense and higher deferred costs.  FTE’s increased to 116 at December 31, 2017 from 100 at December 31, 2016 primarily due to staffing for our University Place branch as well as staffing in preparation for the opening of our new Belltown branch and for our new loan production office in Sequim.  In addition, we had a number of open positions at the end of 2016 that were filled throughout 2017.  The increase in losses and expenses related to OREO and repossessed assets was principally the result of the sale of one OREO property at a $103,000 loss. 

The efficiency ratio for the year ended December 31, 2017 was 68.89%, compared to 68.71% for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The slight increase in the efficiency ratio compared to the prior year was due to the reduction in noninterest income and higher noninterest expense in 2017. 

The provision for income taxes increased $373,000, or 13.8% to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law on December 22, 2017, which reduced the federal income tax rate from 35% for corporations to 21% effective in 2018.  As a result of this change, we incurred a $309,000 one-time, write-down of our deferred tax asset. 

Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality

Total assets at December 31, 2017 were $645.2 million, compared to $588.4 million at December 31, 2016.  The increase from one year ago was the result of the increase in total loans and higher cash balances.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.1 million, or 11.2%, to $60.7 million at December 31, 2017, compared to $54.6 million at December 31, 2016.  The increase from one year ago primarily was a result of the increase in total deposits.

Investment securities available-for-sale totaled $5.4 million at December 31, 2017, compared to $6.6 million at December 31, 2016.  The decrease was due to normal principal pay downs on the investments and the full redemption of a non-agency mortgage-backed security totaling $318,000 in July 2017.    

Gross loans totaled $548.6 million at December 31, 2017, compared to $500.0 million at December 31, 2016.  The largest increases in the loan portfolio were in the commercial and multifamily real estate portfolio, which increased $30.3 million and in the commercial business loan portfolio, which increased $14.5 million.  At December 31, 2017, commercial and multifamily real estate loans accounted for 38.5% of the gross loan portfolio and one- to four- family loans accounted for 28.6% of the portfolio.  Consumer loans, consisting of home equity, manufactured and floating homes, and other consumer loans accounted for 14.4% of the portfolio at that date.  Construction and land loans accounted for 11.1% of the portfolio and commercial business loans accounted for the remaining 7.4% of the portfolio at December 31, 2017.

Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which are comprised of non-accrual loans, nonperforming troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other repossessed assets, decreased to $2.9 million, or 0.45% of total assets, at December 31, 2017 compared to $4.5 million, or 0.77% of total assets at December 31, 2016.
