CBTX, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter Financial Results

HOUSTON, Jan. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CBTX, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CBTX), the bank holding company for CommunityBank of Texas N.A., today announced net income of $14.1 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to $2.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and $13.0 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

For 2018, net income and earnings per share were positively impacted by the 14% reduction of the corporate U.S. statutory federal tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which became effective January 1, 2018.

The Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $47.3 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, compared to $27.6 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2017. 

Highlights 

  • Return on average shareholders’ equity was 10.2% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 7.2% for the year ended December 31, 2017. 
  • Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 totaled $33.2 million, an increase of 5.4% from the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to the impact of increased average loans and higher average yields on loans, partially offset by the impact of increased interest-bearing deposits and higher rates on those deposits.             
  • The efficiency ratio improved to 59.0% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 64.2% for the year ended December 31, 2017. 

“We are pleased with our 2018 operating results, as our growth led to all-time highs in assets, loans and deposits,” said Robert R. Franklin, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of CBTX, Inc. “We reported record earnings for the year, driven by stable organic growth in loans and deposits, continued improvement in expense efficiency and excellent credit metrics.”  

Operating Results:

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $33.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $28.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $31.5 million for the third quarter of 2018. The increase in net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2018 from the fourth quarter of 2017, was primarily due to increased interest income resulting from higher average loans and higher average yields on loans and federal funds sold, partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to higher average interest-bearing deposits and higher rates on those deposits.

The increase in net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2018 from the third quarter of 2018 was due to increased interest income resulting from higher average loans and higher average yields on loans, partially offset by the impact on interest expense of increased average interest-bearing deposits and higher rates on those deposits.

Net interest income was $124.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $107.8 million for year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in net interest income in 2018, as compared to 2017 was due to increased interest income resulting from higher average loans and securities and higher average yields on loans and federal funds sold, partially offset by the impact of increased interest expense due to higher average interest-bearing deposits and higher rates on those deposits, offset by lower interest expense in 2018 due to the payoff of our note payable in the fourth quarter of 2017.  

Provision (Recapture) for Loan Losses

Provision for loan loss was a recapture of $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to a provision of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and a recapture of $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2018. The recapture in the fourth quarter of 2018 was due to the impact of recoveries during the quarter. The recapture in the third quarter of 2018 was driven by strong credit quality, continuing low nonperforming and impaired loans and minimal charge-off history. The provision in the fourth quarter of 2017 reflects the increase in loans during that period.

Provision for loan loss was a recapture of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to a recapture of $338,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The recapture in the year ended December 31, 2018 was due to the recapture in the third and fourth quarter of 2018 (see explanation above). The recapture in the year ended December 31, 2017 was primarily the result of pay-offs of certain classified and problem loans, which resulted in a decrease in their related allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses was $23.7 million, or 0.97% of total loans, at December 31, 2018, compared to $24.8 million, or 1.07% of total loans, at December 31, 2017 and $24.5 million, or 0.99% of total loans, at September 30, 2018.  

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2018. Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was higher compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to an increase in deposit account service charges and higher net gains on sales of assets during the fourth quarter of 2018. Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2018 was higher compared to the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to an increase in deposit account service charges.

Noninterest income was $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Although overall noninterest income increased minimally between 2018 and 2017, there were increases in deposit account service charges, card interchange fees and earnings on bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by decreased gains on sales of fixed assets.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $21.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, $22.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $20.0 million for the third quarter of 2018.

Noninterest expense decreased $233,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to higher salaries, group health insurance and stock compensation expense during 2018, partially offset by lower deferred compensation expense during 2018 and the impact of a change in control charge of $2.2 million related to our initial public offering (IPO) recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Noninterest expense increased $1.8 million or 9.0% during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to increased group health insurance and employee bonus expense during 2018.

Noninterest expense was $82.0 million for 2018, as compared to $78.3 million for 2017. This increase during 2018 of $3.7 million was primarily due to increased salaries, group health insurance and stock compensation expense during 2018, partially offset by lower deferred compensation expense and repossessed real estate costs in 2018 and the impact of a change in control charge of $2.5 million related to our IPO recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $3.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, $6.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $3.2 million for the third quarter of  2018. Income tax expense was $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The effective tax rates were 19.3% for the fourth quarter of 2018, 19.8% for the third quarter of 2018 and 19.4% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The effective tax rates for the 2018 periods reflect the reduction of the federal tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Act. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2017 was 76.3%, reflecting the impact of the deferred tax asset remeasurement adjustment of $3.9 million related to the adoption of the Tax Act. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2017 was 37.4%, reflecting the impact of the adoption of the Tax Act as well as true-ups and return to provision adjustments recorded in 2017. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2017, would have been 29.7% and 28.6% without the impact of the deferred tax remeasurement adjustment noted above.

Balance Sheet Highlights:

Loans

Loans were $2.4 billion at December 31, 2018, $2.3 billion at December 31, 2017 and $2.5 billion at September 30, 2018.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets remain low relative to total assets at $3.5 million, or 0.11% of total assets, at December 31, 2018, $8.4 million, or 0.27% of total assets, at December 31, 2017 and $5.8 million, or 0.18% of total assets at September 30, 2018.

Annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans were (0.22%) for the fourth quarter of 2018, 0.00% for the fourth quarter of 2017 and 0.02% for the third quarter of 2018. The annualized charge-offs (recoveries) for the fourth quarter of 2018 reflects the impact of recoveries in that period.

Deposits and Borrowings

Total deposits were $2.8 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $2.6 billion at December 31, 2017 and $2.7 billion at September 30, 2018.

We define total borrowings as the total of notes payable, repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances.  Total borrowings were comprised of repurchase agreements at December 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018 and were $2.5 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Capital

At December 31, 2018, the Company remained well capitalized under bank regulatory requirements.

Our ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets was 12.6% at December 31, 2018, 12.0% at December 31, 2017 and 12.4% at September 30, 2018. Tangible equity to tangible assets is a non‑GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to tangible equity to tangible assets is total shareholders’ equity to total assets, which was 14.9% at December 31, 2018, 14.5% at December 31, 2017 and 14.8% at September 30, 2018. See the table captioned “Non‑GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation” at the end of this earnings release.

Non‑GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share data and percentages)

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, we also evaluate our performance based on certain additional non‑GAAP financial measures. We classify a financial measure as being a non‑GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are not included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non‑GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios or statistical measures calculated using exclusively financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non‑GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the way we calculate the non‑GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

We calculate (1) tangible equity as total shareholders’ equity, less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, and (2) tangible book value per share as tangible equity divided by shares of common stock outstanding at the end of the relevant period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per share. We calculate tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible equity to tangible assets is total shareholders’ equity to total assets. We believe that tangible book value per share and tangible equity to tangible assets are measures that are important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in book value per share and total shareholders’ equity to total assets, exclusive of change in intangible assets.

The following tables reconcile, as of the dates set forth below, total shareholders’ equity to tangible equity, total assets to tangible assets and presents book value per share, tangible book value per share, tangible equity to tangible assets and shareholders’ equity to total assets:
