BCB Bancorp, Inc. Earns $2.3 Million in the Second Quarter of 2018 with Net Interest Income Increasing 33% Year-Over-Year; Results Highlighted by IA Bancorp Acquisition

BAYONNE, N.J., July 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), Bayonne, NJ (NASDAQ: BCBP), the holding company for BCB Community Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income was $2.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $2.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017.  Second quarter 2018 operating results were impacted by $2.0 million of acquisition-related expenses which reduced net income by $0.09 per diluted share. This compares to no acquisition expenses in the second quarter of 2017. In the first quarter of 2018, net income was $4.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, with $145,000 of acquisition-related expenses.

In the first six months of 2018, net income increased by $1.5 million, or 28.0 percent, to $6.9 million, compared to $5.4 million in the first six months of 2017.

“The highlight of the second quarter was completing the acquisition of IA Bancorp,” stated Thomas Coughlin, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “The closed acquisition added approximately $215.8 million in assets, $178.4 million in deposits and $182.5 million in net loans and has made a dramatic impact on our scale and reach, while providing enhanced opportunities for client and revenue growth.  Our larger branching network will allow us to better serve our new and existing customers. As we look to the future, we will continue to look for growth opportunities, both organically and through strategic partnerships, while remaining focused on profitability and increasing value to our shareholders.”

Balance Sheet Review

The IAB acquisition generated a $215.8 million, or 10.4 percent, increase in total assets, combined with an increase from healthy organic growth of $218.5 million, or 10.5%, as compared to March 31, 2018.

Loans receivable increased by $355.2 million, or 20.1 percent, to $2.120 billion at June 30, 2018, from $1.765 billion at March 31, 2018, and increased by $542.6 million, or 34.4 percent, compared to June 30, 2017. The increase in loans resulted from the acquisition of IAB, which approximated $182.5 million in the fair value of loans added, and an increase in loans receivable of $172.7 million compared to March 31, 2018 and $360.1 million compared to June 30, 2017, excluding those acquired in the merger. The organic growth in loans represented increases of $229.6 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, $11.6 million in home equity loans, $37.6 million in commercial business loans and $15.2 million in residential one-to-four family loans, compared to year end. The allowance for loan losses was $20.6 million, or 191.8 percent of non-performing loans and 0.96 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2018, as compared to an allowance for loan losses of $18.0 million, or 116.2 percent of non-performing loans and 1.13 percent of gross loans, a year ago.

Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $43.1 million to $180.4 million at June 30, 2018, from $137.3 million three months earlier, primarily due to the Company’s strategy to further strengthen liquidity and our deposit base.

Total securities available for sale increased by $8.1 million to $135.4 million at June 30, 2018, from $127.3 million three months earlier, which represented a slight decline excluding IAB.

Deposit liabilities increased by $293.5 million, or 17.4 percent, to $1.985 billion at June 30, 2018, from $1.691 billion at March 31, 2018, and increased by $488.6 million, or 32.7 percent, compared to $1.496 billion a year ago. The increases in deposit liabilities related to the acquisition of IAB, which approximated $178.4 million in the fair value of deposits added, as well as the continued maturation of the seven branches opened in 2016 as a result of our organic growth initiative. Excluding IAB deposits, the increases included $161.4 million in certificates of deposit, including listing service and brokered deposits, $24.6 million in non-interest bearing deposit accounts, $21.8 million in money market checking accounts, $19.7 million in NOW deposit accounts, and $4.5 million in savings and club accounts, compared to year end. The Company utilizes listing service and brokered certificates of deposit as additional sources of deposit liquidity to fund loan growth, which totaled $41.5 million and $202.3 million, respectively, at June 30, 2018.

Debt obligations increased by $120.0 million, or 60.0 percent, to $320.0 million at June 30, 2018, from $200.0 million at March 31, 2018, and increased by $146.0 million, or 83.9 percent, compared to $174.0 million a year ago. The increases are the net result of scheduled maturities of FHLB advances and the issuance of new FHLB advances, and includes advances related to the acquisition of IAB, which approximated $20.0 million in the fair value of advances added. The purpose of these borrowings reflected the use of long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances to augment deposits as the Company’s funding source for originating loans and investing in investment securities. The weighted average interest rate of borrowings was 2.16 percent at June 30, 2018.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $16.7 million, or 9.4 percent, to $194.1 million at June 30, 2018, from $177.4 million at March 31, 2018, and increased by $61.3 million, or 46.2 percent when compared to June 30, 2017. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to an increase in additional paid-in capital of $17.4 million from common stock and preferred stock issued as part of the acquisition of IAB and proceeds of $42.8 million from a capital raise in September, 2017 when compared to June 30, 2017.

Second Quarter Income Statement Review

Net interest income increased by $4.9 million, or 32.7 percent, to $20.0 million for the second quarter of 2018 from $15.1 million for the second quarter of 2017. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $530.0 million, or 30.4 percent, to $2.277 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018, from $1.747 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net interest margin was 3.52 percent for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 3.45 percent for the second quarter a year ago. “The margin improvement during the quarter resulted from more selective pricing on new loans and managing the cost of funds in this rising interest rate environment,” said Coughlin.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $6.0 million, or 33.4 percent, to $24.0 million for the second quarter of 2018 from $18.0 million for the second quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $455.6 million, or 28.9 percent, to $2.033 billion for the quarter from $1.578 billion for the second quarter a year ago, as well as an increase in the average yield on loans of 17 basis points to 4.74 percent for the quarter from 4.57 percent for the second quarter a year ago. The increase in the average balance of loans receivable was in accordance with the Company’s growth strategy, which included organically growing the Bank’s geographic footprint and the acquisition of IAB, while the increase in the average yield on loans relates to the rising rate environment.

Interest income on securities increased by $271,000, or 35.6 percent, to $1.0 million for the second quarter, from $762,000 for the second quarter a year ago. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of securities of $41.8 million, or 39.8 percent, to $146.8 million for the second quarter, from $105.0 million for the second quarter of 2017, partly offset by a decrease in the average yield on securities of eight basis points to 2.82 percent from 2.90 percent for the year ago quarter. The increase in the average balance of securities relates to the Company’s strategy to further strengthen its liquidity position, while the decrease in the yield on securities related to the mix of investments in the portfolio.

Second quarter interest income on other interest-earning assets increased by $334,000, or 118.9 percent to $615,000 from $281,000 for the second quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on other interest-earning assets of 79 basis points to 2.55 percent from 1.76 percent for the year ago quarter, as well as an increase in the average balance of other interest earning assets of $33.0 million, or 51.6 percent, to $96.9 million for the second quarter of 2018 from $63.9 million for the second quarter of 2017. The increase in the average balance of other interest-earning assets is consistent with the Company’s strategy of maintaining strong levels of liquidity. The increase in the average yield on other interest-earning assets correlates to the increases in the fed funds rate that have occurred over the last 12 months.  

Total interest expense increased by $1.7 million, or 42.4 percent, to $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2018 from $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2017. This increase resulted, primarily, from an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $418.1 million, or 28.4 percent, to $1.890 billion for the second quarter from $1.472 billion for the second quarter a year ago, as well as an increase in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 12 basis points to 1.21 percent for the quarter from 1.09 percent for the second quarter a year ago.

Total non-interest income decreased by $459,000, or 22.7 percent, to $1.6 million for the second quarter from $2.0 million for the second quarter a year ago. The decrease in total non-interest income mainly related to a decrease in the gains on sale of OREO properties of $207,000 to a loss of $10,000 from a gain of $197,000 for the second quarter a year ago, a decrease in gains on sales of loans of $157,000, or 21.4 percent, to $576,000 for the second quarter of 2018 from $733,000 for the second quarter a year ago, and a decrease in other non-interest income of $195,000, or 76.8 percent, to $59,000 for the quarter from $254,000 for the year ago quarter. The decrease in other non-interest income related to $237,000 of proceeds from a legal settlement in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in total non-interest income was partly offset by an increase in the amount of fees and service charges of $133,000.

Second quarter total non-interest expense increased by $3.8 million, or 31.5 percent, to $16.0 million from $12.2 million for the second quarter a year ago. Merger-related costs increased by $2.0 million for the quarter, with no comparable figure for the year ago quarter. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $1.2 million, or 21.2 percent, to $7.1 million for the quarter, from $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2017. Other non-interest expense increased by $665,000, or 42.5 percent, to $2.2 million for the second quarter, from $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2017. Other non-interest expense consisted of loan expense, business development, office supplies, correspondent bank fees, telephone and communication and other fees and expenses. Occupancy expense increased by $487,000, or 24.5 percent, to $2.5 million for the quarter, from $2.0 million for the year ago quarter. Data processing expense increased by $150,000, or 22.1 percent, to $828,000 for the quarter from $678,000 for the second quarter a year ago. Other Real Estate Owned expense increased by $147,000 to $160,000 for the second quarter from $13,000 for the second quarter of 2017. These increases in non-interest expense were partly offset by lower professional fees of $850,000, or 61.5 percent, to $533,000 for the second quarter, from $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2017.

The income tax provision decreased by $448,000, or 27.2 percent, to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 from $1.7 million for the second quarter a year ago. The decrease in the income tax provision comes as a result of the lower tax provision as mandated by enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which lowered the federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% beginning in 2018, and due to lower taxable income for the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period for 2017. The consolidated effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 was 34.2 percent compared to 39.6 percent for the second quarter of 2017.

Year to Date Income Statement Review

Net income increased by $1.5 million, or 28.0 percent, to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net income was primarily related to an increase in total interest income, an increase in total non-interest income, a lower income tax provision, partly offset by higher interest expense, a higher provision for loan loss, and higher non-interest expense for the six months of the year, as compared to the first six months of 2017.

Net interest income increased by $6.8 million, or 22.8 percent, to $36.4 million for the first six months of 2018 from $29.6 million for the first six months of 2017. Net interest margin was 3.46 percent for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 and 3.44 percent for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. The increase in the net interest margin was the result of more selective pricing on new loans and managing the cost of funds in this rising rate environment.

Total interest expense increased by $2.4 million, or 29.9 percent, to $10.2 million for the first six months of 2018 from $7.8 million for the first six months of 2017. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $301.7 million, or 20.7 percent, to $1.762 billion for the first six months of 2018 from $1.460 billion for the first six months of 2017, as well as an increase in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of nine basis points to 1.17 percent for the year-to-date period, from 1.08 percent for the same period a year ago.

Total non-interest income increased by $613,000, or 14.2 percent, to $4.9 million for the first six months of 2018 from $4.3 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in total non-interest income was mainly related to an increase in other non-interest income of $2.0 million to $2.3 million for the first six months of 2018 from $282,000 for the first six months 2017. The increase in other non-interest income was mainly attributed to $2.0 million received from a legal settlement in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in total non-interest income was partly offset by a decrease in the gains on sale of OREO properties of $1.4 million for the first six months of 2018 from $1.3 million for the first six months of 2017.

Asset Quality

“Our asset quality improved again during the current quarter, excluding assets acquired from IAB, reflecting the overall improvements in past due loans, foreclosures, and non-performing loans,” said Coughlin.

At June 30, 2018, past due loans, excluding those acquired in the IAB acquisition, decreased by $4.0 million, or 16.9% percent, compared to March 31, 2018 and by $4.2 million, or 17.7%, as compared to June 30, 2017.

Nonperforming loans totaled $10.8 million, or 0.50 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2018, compared to $10.6 million, or 0.60 percent of gross loans at March 31, 2018, and $15.5 million, or 0.97 percent of gross loans, a year earlier.

Performing restructured loans that were not included in nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2018, were $20.7 million, compared to $21.4 million at March 31, 2018 and $21.5 million at June 30, 2017. Borrowers who are in financial difficulty and who have been granted concessions that may include interest rate reductions, term extensions, or payment alterations are categorized as restructured loans. 

Other real estate owned (OREO) totaled $1.2 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $1.4 million at March 31, 2018, and $2.6 million at June 30, 2017. 

The second quarter provision for loan losses was $2.1 million, compared to $1.3 million in the preceding quarter and $776,000 in the second quarter a year ago.  The allowance for loan losses was $20.6 million, or 191.8 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2018, compared to $18.3 million, or 1.03 percent of gross loans at March 31, 2018, and $18.0 million, or 1.13 percent of gross loans a year ago.  As of June 30, 2018, the allowance for loan losses represented 191.8 percent of nonaccrual loans compared to 172.7 percent three months earlier, and 116.2 percent one year earlier.  Net recoveries were $243,000 in the second quarter, compared to net charge-offs of $380,000 in the preceding quarter and net charge-offs of $338,000 in the second quarter a year ago.
