SUFFOLK, Va., April 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TowneBank (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TOWN) today reported earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 of $26.38 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $31.41 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

“Our Company began 2020 on strong footing with loan demand exceeding expectations.  However, traditional performance measures such as growth and profitability were temporarily superseded by challenges that are unprecedented in the history of this country.  Our slogan of “Serving Others and Enriching Lives” emerged center stage as we engaged our members, communities and colleagues to understand how we can help them navigate the current environment.  Through our participation in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), we assisted our members with nearly 5,000 loans totaling $1 billion while also providing safe access to our banking offices and providing work at home solutions for a large number of Towne teammates.  Our strong liquidity and capital positions enabled us to help our members manage through these difficult times,” said G. Robert Aston, Jr., Executive Chairman.

  • Total revenues were $137.70 million, an increase of $3.84 million, or 2.87%.

  • Noninterest bearing deposits increased by 8.77%, to $3.06 billion, representing 32.88% of total deposits.  Compared to the linked quarter, noninterest bearing deposits increased 3.70%, or 14.89% on an annualized basis.

“Now more than ever it is important to know Your Banker; not your Bank.  Our style of Hometown Banking was redefined when social distancing and quarantines became daily buzz-words in our vocabulary, workplace and social activities.  Under challenging conditions our colleagues are providing uninterrupted services and offering solutions to help businesses and households.  We appreciate the trust and confidence of the communities we serve and our stakeholders,” stated J. Morgan Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Quarterly Net Interest Income Compared to the First Quarter of 2019:

  • Net interest income was $89.50 million compared to $87.47 million at March 31, 2019.
  • Taxable equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) was 3.37%, including accretion of 13 basis points, compared to 3.57%, including accretion of 11 basis points, for 2019.
  • Average loans held for investment, with an average yield of 4.73%, represented 79.60% of average earning assets at March 31, 2020 compared to an average yield of 5.06% and 80.16% of average earning assets in the first quarter of 2019.
  • Total cost of deposits decreased to 0.83% from 0.93% at March 31, 2019.
  • Average interest-earning assets totaled $10.74 billion at March 31, 2020 compared to $10.02 billion at March 31, 2019, an increase of 7.22%.
  • Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $7.16 billion, an increase of $0.34 billion from prior year.

Quarterly Provision for Credit Losses:

  • Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted the current expected credit loss (CECL) accounting standard, which requires an allowance for loans and unfunded commitments, as well as credit losses for debt securities.  The cumulative effect adjustment from the change in accounting policies resulted in an increase in our allowance of $3.01 million for loans and unfunded commitments and $0.23 million for debt securities, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings (pre-tax).
  • Recorded a quarterly provision for credit losses for on-balance sheet loans of $5.76 million compared to $1.44 million one year ago and $3.60 million in the linked quarter.  This increase is primarily attributable to forecasted credit weaknesses due to deteriorating economic conditions driven by the current COVID-19 pandemic.  Expected loss estimates consider the impacts of decreased economic activity and higher unemployment and the mitigating benefits of government stimulus and industry wide loan modification efforts.
  • Net loan charge-offs were $0.56 million compared to $0.23 million one year prior.  The ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.03% compared to 0.04% in the linked quarter and 0.01% in the first quarter of 2019.
  • Recorded a provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments of $1.10 million.
  • Recorded a provision for credit losses on debt securities of $0.16 million.
  • The on-balance sheet allowance for loan losses represented 0.73% of total loans compared to 0.69% at December 31, 2019 and 0.66% at March 31, 2019.  The allowance for on-balance sheet loan losses was 3.85 times nonperforming loans compared to 3.34 times at December 31, 2019 and 9.36 times at March 31, 2019.

Quarterly Noninterest Income Compared to the First Quarter of 2019:

  • Total noninterest income was $48.20 million compared to $46.38 million in 2019, an increase of $1.82 million, or 3.92%.  Insurance commissions and other title fees increased $1.31 million in the quarter, while residential mortgage banking income decreased $6.09 million, real estate brokerage and property management income decreased $2.33 million, and service charges on deposit accounts decreased $0.42 million.  Also included in noninterest income are net gains on investment securities of $5.00 million as compared to net losses of $0.78 million in the prior year.
  • Residential mortgage banking recorded income of $7.42 million compared to $13.51 million in first quarter 2019.  Loan volume in the current quarter was $923.20 million, with purchase activity comprising 61.31% of that volume.  Loan volume in first quarter 2019 was $513.53 million, with purchase activity of 86.08%. The notable increase in income from loan production between periods, was partially offset by net losses on derivative instruments of $10.89 million for the quarter.
  • Total Insurance segment revenue increased 9.42% to $20.24 million in the first quarter due to organic growth and additional income from a third quarter 2019 agency acquisition.
  • Property management fee revenue decreased 34.19%, or $2.64 million, as compared to first quarter 2019 due to decreases in reservation levels driven by current travel restrictions related to COVID-19.
  • Bank owned life insurance and other noninterest income increased $3.58 million, or 75.23%, as compared to first quarter 2019 due to proceeds from life insurance policies and investment commission income.

Quarterly Noninterest Expense Compared to the First Quarter of 2019:

  • Total noninterest expense was $96.89 million compared to $92.12 million in 2019, an increase of $4.77 million, or 5.17%.  This reflects increases of $3.01 million in salary and benefits expense, $0.76 million in advertising and marketing, $0.75 million in software expense, $0.39 million in professional fees, $0.27 million in furniture and equipment expense, and a decline in occupancy expense of $0.75 million.
  • Market expansion and infrastructure enhancements, that occurred after first quarter 2019, have resulted in generally higher levels of salary and benefits expense, software expense, and professional fees.  Advertising and marketing increased due to focused advertising in our new North Carolina markets.  The decline in occupancy expense is attributable to one time expenses related to the adoption of the new leasing standard in first quarter 2019.

Quarterly Income Taxes Compared to the First Quarter of 2019:

  • Income tax expense was $6.19 million compared to $8.21 million one year prior.  This represents an effective tax rate of 19.00% compared to 20.72% in the first quarter of 2019.

  • Total assets were $12.62 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, an increase of 5.66%, or 22.51% on an annualized basis, compared to $11.95 billion at December 31, 2019.  Total assets increased $1.06 billion, or 9.12%, from $11.57 billion at March 31, 2019.  The linked quarter increase was driven primarily by growth in cash and cash equivalents and loans held for investment.
  • Loans held for investment increased $0.36 billion, or 4.33%, or 17.43% on an annualized basis, compared to year end 2019.
  • Mortgage loans held for sale increased $33.91 million, or 8.09%, over December 31, 2019.
  • Total deposits increased $37.08 million, or 0.40%, or 1.61% on an annualized basis, over December 31, 2019.
  • Total borrowings increased $0.62 billion, or 80.17%, from December 31, 2019.  This increase was primarily attributable to the Company taking actions to shore up liquidity sources in response to the current economic environment.

Investment Securities:

  • Total investment securities were $1.35 billion compared to $1.52 billion at December 31, 2019 and $1.20 billion at March 31, 2019.  The weighted average duration of the portfolio at March 31, 2020 was 4.31 years.  The Company established credit loss reserves related to the HTM and AFS debt securities portfolios of $0.39 million during the quarter.  The carrying value of the AFS debt securities portfolio included $20.70 million in net unrealized gains compared to $19.73 million at December 31, 2019.  During the first quarter of 2020, we sold $211.70 million in AFS debt securities at a gain of $5.00 million, in order to take advantage of interest rate fluctuations in the market in response to concerns over COVID-19.

  • Expected loss estimates are subject to change based on continuing review of models and assumptions, portfolio performance, changes in forecasted macroeconomic conditions and loan mix which could result in material additions to the reserve in future periods.
