Northeast Bancorp Reports Third Quarter Results and Declares Dividend


LEWISTON, Maine, April 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northeast Bancorp (“Northeast” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:NBN), a Maine-based full-service financial services company and parent of Northeast Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $3.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was $11.8 million, or $1.29 per diluted common share, compared to $8.3 million, or $0.93 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2017.

On April 25, 2018, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on May 25, 2018 to shareholders of record as of May 11, 2018.

“Our strong growth in fiscal year 2018 continued in the third quarter,” said Richard Wayne, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We achieved earnings of 43 cents per diluted share through solid loan volume, purchased loan transactional income, gains from sale of SBA and residential loans, disciplined expense management, and a reduction to 28.0% in our federal income tax rate. Our Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group produced $105.9 million of loans, including originations of $72.9 million and purchases with a recorded investment of $33.0 million, for net growth in the LASG portfolio of $45.6 million, or 7.7%, during the quarter. This quarterly activity helped drive our return on equity to 12.2%, our return on assets to 1.4%, and our efficiency ratio to 59.8%.”

As of March 31, 2018, total assets were $1.2 billion, an increase of $89.3 million, or 8.3%, from total assets of $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2017. The principal components of the change in the balance sheet follow:

(1) Period end purchased loan balances include loans held for sale of $0 and $973 thousand at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively.
(2) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales, and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis.  The total return does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Total return is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. 

  1. Deposits increased by $86.4 million, or 9.7%, from June 30, 2017, attributable primarily to an increase in money market accounts of $115.7 million, or 30.9%, offset by a decrease in time deposits of $25.7 million, or 7.6%.
  2. Shareholders’ equity increased by $11.0 million, or 9.0%, from June 30, 2017, primarily due to earnings of $11.8 million. Earnings were partially offset by stock option exercises which decreased additional paid-in-capital by $1.1 million. Additionally, there was stock based compensation of $635 thousand, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $128 thousand, and dividends paid on common stock of $266 thousand.

Net income increased by $471 thousand to $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to net income of $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

1. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $675 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The increase is primarily due to higher average balances in the loan portfolio. These increases were partially offset by higher funding costs and higher average deposit balances.

The components of total transactional income on purchased loans are set forth in the table below entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.” When compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, transactional income increased by $312 thousand. The total return on purchased loans for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 12.16%. The increase over the prior comparable period was primarily due to the gain on loan sales in the three months ended March 31, 2018. When compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2017, transactional income increased by $742 thousand. The total return on purchased loans for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was 11.82%. This increase over the prior comparable period was primarily due to the gain on loan sales and higher accelerated accretion in the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The following table details the total return on purchased loans:

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales, gains on real estate owned and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis.  The total return does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries in the quarter. Total return is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.

2. Noninterest income decreased by $426 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2017, principally due to the following:

  • A decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans of $391 thousand, due to a lower volume of SBA loans sold in the quarter; and
  • A decrease in gain on sale of residential loans of $54 thousand, due to lower volume of residential loans sold in the quarter.

3. Noninterest expense increased by $133 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to the following:

  • An increase of $312 thousand in other noninterest expense, primarily due to $140 thousand of expense related to the quarterly valuation of SBA servicing rights recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2018, and a $167 thousand recovery from a legacy mortgage insurance premium plan that was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2017, with no such recovery recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018;
  • An increase of $164 thousand in data processing fees, primarily due to the increased cost associated with the outsourcing of data processing; and
  • An increase of $126 thousand in salaries and employee benefits, primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation and a decrease in deferred salaries driven by loan originations, offset by a decrease in salaries due to a decrease in headcount.
  • The increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a decrease in loan expense of $464 thousand, largely driven by lower expense related to loan acquisition, collection, and refinance activity.

4. Income tax expense decreased by $335 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2017, $397 thousand of which was due to a decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law on December 22, 2017, offset by an increase related to a higher pre-tax net income amount.

As of March 31, 2018, nonperforming assets totaled $14.6 million, or 1.25% of total assets, as compared to $19.0 million, or 1.84% of total assets, as of December 31, 2017, and $14.8 million, or 1.37% of total assets, as of June 30, 2017.

As of March 31, 2018, past due loans totaled $11.2 million, or 1.37% of total loans, as compared to $30.0 million, or 3.87% of total loans as of December 31, 2017, and $13.4 million, or 1.72% of total loans as of June 30, 2017.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 12.9%, compared to 12.8% at June 30, 2017, and the Total Capital Ratio was 19.9%, compared to 19.5% at June 30, 2017.

Northeast’s management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors.
