Published
Record Loan Production; Record Diluted Earnings Per Share, Both Including and Excluding Non-Recurring Items LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Stock Yards Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYBT), parent company of Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company, with offices in the Louisville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati metropolitan markets, today reported record results for both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019. Total revenue, comprising net interest income and non-interest income, increased 7% to $43.0 million for the second quarter of 2019 from $40.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net income before income taxes increased 5% to $17.6 million for the second quarter of 2019 from $16.7 million for the comparable quarter, despite incurring $1.3 million in one-time transaction costs related to the acquisition of King Bancorp, Inc. Net income for the second quarter of 2019, which includes a non‑recurring state income tax benefit, rose 22% to $16.5 million or $0.72 per diluted share from $13.6 million or $0.59 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2018.         (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) 2Q19 1Q19 2Q18 Net interest income $ 30,774   $ 29,657   $ 28,674   Provision for loan and lease losses –     600     1,235   Non-interest income   12,263     11,062     11,435   Non-interest expenses   25,464     22,639     22,136   Income before income tax expense   17,573     17,480     16,738   Income tax expense   1,030     1,839     3,159   Net income $ 16,543   $ 15,641   $ 13,579   Net income per share, diluted $ 0.72   $ 0.68   $ 0.59   Net interest margin   3.81 %   3.89 %   3.88 % Efficiency ratio   59.09 %   55.52 %   55.07 % Tangible common equity to tangible assets (1)   10.85 %   11.47 %   10.35 % Annualized return on average equity   17.40 %   17.09 %   15.94 % Annualized return on average assets   1.93 %   1.94 %   1.74 %       Key factors affecting the Company’s results for the second quarter of 2019 included: Successful completion of the acquisition of King Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, King Southern Bank (KSB); Average loans increased $128 million year over year, contributing to the 7% increase in net interest income on a comparable quarter basis; Continued robust legacy loan production (excluding the KSB acquisition) led to both year-to-date and quarter-to-date records, with loan payoffs/pay-downs trending lower in the second quarter of 2019; Legacy net loan growth (excluding the KSB acquisition) was $77 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $66 million for the same period in 2018; Credit quality metrics remained sound, as the Company did not record a provision for loan and lease losses in the second quarter; Wealth Management and Trust (WM&T) services income rose consistent with increased new business generation and strong market performance for the quarter; Card income and treasury management fees, bolstered by increased volume and usage, continued to stand out as diversifying non-interest revenue streams, representing a combined 27% of total non-interest income compared to 21% two years ago; One-time pre-tax KSB acquisition transaction costs totaled $1.3 million, a $0.05 impact to net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2019; The effective income tax rate declined to 5.9% for the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to a Kentucky tax law change allowing a bank holding company’s net operating losses to offset against net revenues generated by the bank, beginning in 2021. The Bank recognized a non-recurring state deferred tax asset and corresponding state income tax benefit, the effect of which added $0.11 to net income per diluted share for the second quarter 2019; and Excluding the two non-recurring items above, the Company would have reported record net income per diluted share for the second quarter 2019. “As our record results reflect, Stock Yards Bancorp had a very successful second quarter,” said James A. (Ja) Hillebrand, Chief Executive Officer. “We posted solid net income, return on average assets and return on average equity. Record loan production and strong net loan growth drove the net interest income increase of $2.1 million or 7% compared with the second quarter of 2018. Our loan portfolio increased $186 million compared to June 30, 2018, and $216 million compared to December 31, 2018, with $160 million of this growth in both comparisons attributable to the KSB acquisition. Moreover, we ended the second quarter with a very robust loan pipeline leading into the summer months, positioning the Company for continued heightened loan production. Despite such growth, we are committed to preserving credit quality, as evidenced by our key metrics that remain at sound levels and are some of the highest among community banks. “Non-interest income remained strong and continues to represent diversified revenue streams poised for attractive and predictable long-term growth,” Hillebrand continued. “The WM&T group, with approximately $3.1 billion of assets under management, continued to be a leading source of fee income, with revenues increasing 6% versus the year-earlier period and contributing 46% of total non-interest income in the second quarter of 2019. Debit/credit card income and treasury management fees combined grew 20% to account for 27% of second quarter 2019 total non-interest income. These diverse sources of revenue remain key to long-term stability in our growth and demonstrate our sound business model.” Hillebrand also noted that, as a result of the KSB transaction and proximity of acquired branch locations to existing Stock Yards branch locations, the Company expects to divest three acquired branch locations in Louisville during the third quarter of 2019. Also in the third quarter, the Company will open a new branch location in Mt. Washington, Bullitt County, an area that has expanded significantly over the last several years and represents a natural extension of the Company’s concentrated presence in metropolitan Louisville. In closing, Hillebrand said, “The outstanding results for the second quarter reflect healthy economies in our geographic locations, diversified revenue streams, the hard work of over 600 dedicated employees and solid execution of our strategic business plan. As evidenced by the second quarter authorization of a share repurchase plan, our Board is also highly optimistic about the Company’s future. I am pleased to announce that we have repurchased approximately 107 thousand shares of stock at a weighted average cost of $34.15 per share during the quarter. We are excited about the remainder of the year, supported by attractive business fundamentals, a robust loan production pipeline and the opportunity to welcome our new KSB customers to our broad suite of product offerings. Considering the solid fundamentals driving our business, the economic vibrancy of the markets we serve, and the opportunities we continue to see ahead as we pursue long-term growth, we remain confident about our future and our ability to continue to reward our shareholders for their loyalty.” Second Quarter 2019 Compared with Second Quarter 2018 Net interest income – the Company’s largest source of revenue – increased approximately $2.1 million or 7% to $30.8 million. Net interest margin decreased seven basis points to 3.81% from 3.88% primarily due to the following: While the Company has not aggressively pursued deposits since mid-2018, nor has it significantly raised rates, the Company experienced a natural shift in deposits from non‑interest bearing accounts to interest bearing accounts during the period; Asset yields were impacted by the downward trending of the overall rate environment during 2019, as fixed rate loan pricing and LIBOR based loans were impacted; The second quarter 2018 margin was elevated by prepayment fees collected, with a much lighter impact experienced in the second quarter of 2019; and The KSB portfolio mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities had a slight negative impact on margin overall. Interest income rose $5.0 million or 16%, driven by higher market interest rates and increased average loan volume. The KSB portfolio contributed $110 million in average loans and generated $1.6 million in interest income for the second quarter of 2019. As anticipated, interest expense increased $2.9 million or 86% during the second quarter due to growth of deposits – primarily time deposits – resulting from a prior-year deposit-gathering campaign. Also, approximately $530 thousand of the second quarter interest expense increase related to the KSB portfolio, which was concentrated in time deposits with higher costs. Non-interest income increased $828 thousand or 7% to $12.3 million. WM&T income rose 6% due to increased new business generation and strong market performance for the quarter; The Company maintained its strategic focus of growing the debit/credit card and treasury management non-interest income revenue streams, which combined to increase 20%. Non-interest expenses increased $3.3 million or 15% to $25.5 million. The Company incurred $1.3 million in pre-tax one-time transaction costs related to its acquisition of KSB, a $0.05 impact to earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2019. Compensation expense for the second quarter of 2019 increased $1.0 million or 9% compared with the prior-year quarter, with approximately $550 thousand of the increase attributable to KSB staff additions and restructuring charges. The remainder of the increase related to the addition of new legacy employees to support strategic growth initiatives and regular annual salary increases. Legal and professional fees increased $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2019, with nearly $900 thousand of the increase associated with the KSB acquisition. The Company’s effective tax rate declined to 5.9% from 18.9%. During the second quarter of 2019, Kentucky tax law changed to allow a bank holding company’s net operating losses to offset against net revenues generated by the bank, beginning in 2021. In connection with this change, the Bank recognized a non-recurring state deferred tax asset and corresponding state income tax benefit, the effect of which added $0.11 to net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2019. June 30, 2019 Compared with June 30, 2018 Total loans increased $186 million or 7% to $2.8 billion. Approximately $160 million in loans were added in connection with the KSB acquisition. Excluding the KSB acquisition, the loan portfolio grew by a net $55 million during the first six months of 2019, bolstered by record loan production of $446 million. Total deposits increased $343 million or 14% to $2.9 billion. Approximately $116 million in deposits were added in connection with the KSB acquisition. Time deposits have increased $184 million or 73%, as the Bank pursued aggressive term funding in the first part of 2018. Core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits and time deposits greater than $250 thousand, represented 97% of total deposits. Asset quality, which has remained exceptional and has trended within a narrow range over the past several years, remains sound. While the Company is pleased with this performance, management recognizes the cyclical nature of banking and believes asset quality metrics will normalize over the long term, which will eventually result in higher provisioning for loan and lease losses. Non-performing loans (NPLs) were $3.9 million or 0.14% of total loans outstanding versus $7.4 million or 0.29% of total loans outstanding. Non-performing assets (NPAs), which include NPLs along with other real estate owned and repossessed assets, were $4.5 million or 0.13% of total assets versus $7.7 million or 0.23% of total assets. Based on net charge-offs of $48 thousand in the second quarter of 2019, combined with other considerations, including the overall level of risk in the portfolio, the Company did not record a provision for loan and lease losses in the second quarter of 2019 versus $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. The allowance for loan and lease losses relative to total end-of-period loans remained flat at 0.96%. The Company remained “well capitalized” – the highest capital rating for financial institutions. Total equity to assets was 11.24% and tangible common equity ratio was 10.85%,(1) compared to 10.40% and 10.35%, respectively, with the fluctuation primarily associated with the KSB acquisition. Even with its strong capital position, the Company continues to consistently achieve industry-leading returns on equity due to its superior earnings performance. In addition to a substantial and sustained dividend payout ratio, the Company continues to pursue other strategies to enhance stockholder value, such as the previously mentioned share repurchase plan. In May 2019, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend 4% to $0.26 per common share. Stock Yards Bancorp has now raised its quarterly dividend rate a total of 11 times since 2014, including two increases during 2018 and each of the previous four years. Second Quarter 2019 Compared to First Quarter 2019 Net interest margin decreased eight basis points to 3.81% from 3.89% primarily due to the following: The Company continued to experience a natural shift in deposits from non-interest bearing accounts to interest bearing accounts during the period. Asset yields were impacted by the downward trending of the overall rate environment, as fixed rate loan pricing and LIBOR based loans were impacted. The first quarter 2019 margin was elevated by prepayment fees collected, with a much lighter impact experienced in the second quarter. The KSB portfolio mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities had a slight negative impact on margin overall. Net interest income increased 4%. The KSB portfolio contributed $110 million in average loans and generated $1.6 million in interest income for the second quarter, offset by approximately $530 thousand in interest expense. Non-interest income increased 11%. WM&T income rose 4% due to increased new business generation and strong market performance for the quarter; Debit/credit card income increased $424 thousand or 24%, consistent with growth and usage in the program, in addition to incentives paid to the Company by its credit card processor. Consistent with the decline in long-term fixed rates, mortgage banking income finished the spring/early summer season higher than the first quarter of 2019. Non-interest expenses increased 12%. As previously noted, the Company completed its acquisition of KSB on May 1, 2019. As a result, the Company incurred $1.3 million in pre-tax acquisition-related expenses, professional fees and compensation-related expenses. In addition, approximately $400 thousand in ongoing KSB non-interest expenses were recorded. The Company’s effective tax rate declined to 5.9% for the second quarter of 2019 from 10.5% for the first quarter of 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, Kentucky tax law changed to allow a bank holding company’s net operating losses to offset against net revenues generated by the bank, beginning in 2021. In connection with this change, the Bank recognized a non-recurring state deferred tax asset and corresponding state income tax benefit, the effect of which added $0.11 to net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2019. Also, as previously disclosed, beginning in 2021, the Kentucky franchise tax will be replaced with a 5% income-based tax. Associated with this change, the Bank recognized a non-recurring state deferred tax asset and corresponding state income tax benefit, the effect of which added $0.06 to net income per diluted share for the first quarter of 2019. June 30, 2019 Compared to March 31, 2019 Total loans increased $238 million or 9%. Approximately $160 million in loans were added in connection with the KSB acquisition. The Company experienced legacy loan growth of $77 million during the second quarter of 2019 compared to net contraction of $22 million for the first quarter of 2019. After strong production during the second quarter, loan pipelines remain robust headed into the third quarter of 2019. Total deposits increased $131 million or 5%. The linked-quarter increase in total deposits related primarily to the KSB acquisition, which contributed $116 million in total deposits. Asset quality remained at historically strong levels. NPLs were $3.9 million or 0.14% of total loans outstanding versus $3.8 million or 0.15% of total loans outstanding. NPAs were $4.5 million or 0.13% of total assets versus $4.6 million or 0.14% of total assets. Net charge-offs were $48 thousand compared with net loan loss recoveries of $330 thousand. There was no loan loss provision in the second quarter of 2019, compared with a provision for loan and lease losses of $600 thousand in the first quarter of 2019. The allowance for loan and lease losses relative to total end-of-period loans was 0.96%, a decrease of nine basis points.
