BAYONNE, N.J., Oct. 19, 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 increased $1.4 million, or 42.8 percent to $4.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $3.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017. In the second quarter of 2018, net income was $2.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, with $2.0 million of acquisition-related expenses.

In the first nine months of 2018, net income increased by $2.9 million, or 33.5 percent, to $11.5 million, compared to $8.6 million in the first nine months of 2017. Year-to-date operating results were impacted by $2.3 million of acquisition related expenses compared with no acquisition expenses in the first nine months of 2017.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share. The dividend will be payable November 16, 2018, to common shareholders of record on November 2, 2018. 

“Our third quarter financial results reflect the stability and strength of our banking franchise, managing our position in a rising rate environment, and the lower corporate tax rates enacted last year,” stated Thomas Coughlin, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to solid organic growth, our successful acquisition and integration of IA Bancorp earlier this year has contributed to our increased net interest income. We remain focused on competing for business in our local markets and looking for additional growth opportunities.” 

The IA Bancorp acquisition, which was completed during the second quarter of 2018, added approximately $215.8 million in assets, $178.4 million in deposits and $182.5 million in net loans.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets increased by $766.1 million, or 40.9 percent, to $2.638 billion at September 30, 2018 from $1.872 billion at September 30, 2017. The increase in total assets included the acquisition of IAB, which added approximately $215.8 million in assets.

Loans receivable increased by $105.2 million, or 5.0 percent, to $2.225 billion at September 30, 2018 compared to $2.120 billion at June 30, 2018, and increased by $605.8 million, or 37.4 percent, compared to September 30, 2017. The increase in loans over the prior year resulted from the acquisition of IAB, which approximated $182.6 million in the fair value of loans added, and an increase of $423.2 million, excluding those acquired in the merger. The organic growth in loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, represented increases of $440.4 million in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, $71.5 million in commercial business loans, $26.0 million in home equity loans, $25.1 million in construction loans, and $22.4 million in residential one-to-four family loans. The allowance for loan losses was $21.5 million, or 193.9 percent of non-accruing loans and 0.96 percent of gross loans, at September 30, 2018 as compared to an allowance for loan losses of $20.6 million, or 191.8 percent of non-accruing loans and 0.96 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2018 and $18.4 million, or 108.8 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.13 percent of gross loans a year ago.

Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $26.3 million to $206.7 million at September 30, 2018, from $180.4 million three months earlier, primarily due to the Company’s strategy to further strengthen liquidity and our deposit base. Total securities available for sale decreased by $7.5 million to $127.9 million at September 30, 2018, from $135.4 million three months earlier.

Deposit liabilities increased by $131.7 million, or 6.6 percent, to $2.117 billion at September 30, 2018, from $1.985 billion at June 30, 2018, and increased by $570.5 million, or 36.9 percent, compared to $1.546 billion a year ago. The increases in deposit liabilities related to the acquisition of IAB, which approximated $178.4 million in the balance of deposits added, as well as the continued maturation of the seven branches opened in 2016 as a result of our organic growth initiative. Increases included $370.0 million in certificates of deposit, including listing service and brokered deposits, $76.0 million in non-interest bearing deposit accounts, $49.7 million in money market checking accounts, $48.1 million in NOW deposit accounts, and $3.4 million in savings and club accounts for the nine months ended September 30th, 2018, 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 $40.9 million and $204.0 million, respectively, at September 30, 2018.

Debt obligations decreased by $11.8 million, or 3.6 percent, to $312.3 million at September 30, 2018 from $324.1 million at June 30, 2018, and increased by 170.2 million, or 119.8 percent, compared to $142.1 million a year ago. The year-over-year increases are the net result of the issuance of new FHLB advances and scheduled maturities of FHLB advances, and the issuance of $33.5 million of subordinated debentures in a private placement in July 2018. The purpose of the FHLB borrowings reflected the use of long-term 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 2.21 percent at September 30, 2018. The issuance of subordinated debt was to maintain adequate capital ratios.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $18.2 million, or 10.2 percent to $195.8 million at September 30, 2018, from $177.6 million at September 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. Retained earnings increased by $4.1 million to $35.7 million at September 30, 2018 from $31.6 million a year ago. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $4.3 million to $6.5 million at September 30, 2018 from $2.2 million a year ago.

Third Quarter Income Statement Review

Net interest income increased by $4.5 million, or 28.9 percent, to $20.1 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $15.6 million for the third quarter of 2017. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $718.5 million, or 40.4 percent, to $2.497 billion for the third quarter of 2018 from $1.779 billion for the third quarter a year ago. Net interest margin was 3.22 percent for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 3.50 percent for the third quarter a year ago. “The decrease in the net interest margin was the result of the rising rate environment, with the increase in the cost of funds outpacing the return on interest earning assets for the short term,” said Coughlin.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $7.6 million, or 41.4 percent, to $26.0 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $18.4 million for the third quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $573.5 million, or 35.6 percent, to $2.184 billion for the third quarter from $1.610 billion for the third quarter a year ago, as well as an increase in the average yield on loans of 20 basis points to 4.77 percent for the third quarter from 4.57 percent for the third quarter a year ago. The increase in the average balance of loans receivable was in accordance with the Company’s growth strategy, which included 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 $249,000, or 35.9 percent, to $943,000 for the third quarter of 2018 from $694,000 for the third quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of securities of $52.7 million, or 55.0 percent, to $148.5 million for the third quarter from $95.8 million for the third quarter a year ago, partly offset by a decrease in the average yield on securities of 36 basis points to 2.54 percent for the third quarter from 2.90 percent for the third quarter a year ago. 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.

Third quarter interest income on other interest-earning assets increased by $696,000, or 222.4 percent, to $1.0 million, from $313,000 for the third quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on other interest-earning assets of 72 basis points to 2.45 percent for the third quarter from 1.72 percent for the third quarter a year ago, as well as an increase in the average balance of other interest earning assets of $92.3 million, or 127.0 percent, to $164.9 million for the third quarter from $72.6 million for the third quarter a year ago. 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 $4.1 million, or 105.9 percent, to $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2017. This increase resulted, primarily, from an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $607.3 million, or 40.9 percent, to $2.092 billion for the third quarter from $1.484 billion for the third quarter of 2017, as well as an increase in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 48 basis points to 1.51 percent for the third quarter of 2018 from 1.03 percent for the third quarter a year ago.

Total non-interest income increased by $219,000, or 13.4 percent, to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2017. The increase in total non-interest income mainly related to an increase in the amount of fees and service charges of $343,000, to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $749,000 for the third quarter of 2017, an increase in gains on sales of loans of $198,000 to $738,000 for the third quarter of 2018 from $540,000 for the third quarter a year ago, partly offset by a decrease in gains on sale of OREO properties of $208,000 to $14,000 for the third quarter of 2018 from $222,000 for the third quarter of 2017. The increases in non-interest income over the prior year are largely attributable to the inclusion of IAB since the merger in April 2018.

Third quarter non-interest expense increased by $3.1 million, or 27.4 percent, to $14.4 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $11.3 million for the third quarter of 2017. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $1.2 million, or 20.8 percent, to $7.1 million for the third quarter from $5.9 million for the third quarter a year ago. Other non-interest expense increased by $985,000, or 65.7 percent, to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $1.5 million for the third quarter a year ago. 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 $452,000, or 22.2 percent, to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2017. Data processing expense increased by $239,000, or 34.0 percent, to $942,000 for the third quarter from $703,000 for the third quarter of 2017. Regulatory assessment expense increased by $101,000, or 31.8 percent, to $419,000 for the third quarter from $318,000 for the third quarter a year ago. The increases in non-interest expense over the prior year are largely attributable to the inclusion of IAB costs since the merger in April 2018.

The income tax provision decreased by $140,000, or 6.4 percent, to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2017. 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 higher taxable income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to that same period for 2017. The consolidated effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 was 30.8 percent compared to 40.4 percent for the third quarter of 2017.

Year to Date Income Statement Review

Net interest income increased by $11.3 million, or 24.9 percent, to $56.5 million for first nine months of 2018 from $45.2 million for the first nine months of 2017. Net interest margin was 3.34 percent for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and 3.46 percent for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in the net interest margin was the result of faster paced cost of funds in this rising rate environment than with returns on interest-earning assets.

Total interest expense increased by $6.4 million, or 54.9 percent, to $18.1 million for the first nine months of 2018 from $11.7 million for the same period a year earlier. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $408.6 million, or 27.8 percent, to $1.877 billion for the first nine months of 2018 from $1.468 billion for the same period a year ago, as well as an increase in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities of 33 basis points to 1.29 percent for the nine months of 2018 from 0.96 percent for the same period a year earlier.

Total non-interest income increased by $833,000, or 14.0 percent, to $6.8 million for the first nine months of 2018 from $6.0 million for the first nine months of 2017. The increase in total non-interest income was mainly related to an increase in other non-interest income of $2.1 million to $2.4 million from $307,000 for the same period a year earlier. 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 $1.6 million, which represented gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Total non-interest expense increased by $7.4 million, or 21.1 percent, to $42.4 million for the first nine months of 2018 from $35.0 million for the same period a year earlier. Merger-related costs were $2.3 million for the first nine months of 2018, with no comparable figure for the nine-month period a year earlier. The increases in non-interest expense over the prior year are largely attributable to the inclusion of IAB costs since the merger in April 2018.

Asset Quality

At September 30, 2018, past due loans increased by $1.6 million, or 3.6 percent, compared to June 30, 2018.

Non-accruing loans totaled $11.1 million, or 0.49 percent of gross loans at September 30, 2018, compared to $10.8 million, or 0.50 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2018, and $17.0 million, or 1.03 percent of gross loans, a year earlier.

Performing troubled debt restructured loans that were not included in nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2018, were $20.6 million, compared to $20.7 million at June 30, 2018 and $19.0 million at September 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 September 30, 2018, compared to $1.2 million at June 30, 2018, and $1.4 million at September 30, 2017. 

The third quarter provision for loan losses was $907,000, compared to $2.1 million in the preceding quarter and $511,000 in the third quarter a year ago. The allowance for loan losses was $21.5 million, or 0.96 percent of gross loans at September 30, 2018, compared to $20.6 million, or 0.96 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2018, and $18.4 million, or 1.12 percent of gross loans a year ago.  As of September 30, 2018, the allowance for loan losses represented 193.9 percent of nonaccrual loans compared to 191.8 percent three months earlier, and 108.8 percent one year earlier.  Net charge-offs were $43,000 in the third quarter, compared to net recoveries of $243,000 in the preceding quarter and net charge-offs of $26,000 in the third quarter a year ago.
