Northeast Bancorp Reports Second Quarter Results and Declares Dividend

LEWISTON, Maine, Jan. 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Northeast Bancorp (“Northeast” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NBN), a Maine-based full-service financial services company and parent of Northeast Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $5.1 million, or $0.56 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $1.8 million, or 55.1%, compared to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2018 was $9.7 million, or $1.05 per diluted common share, compared to $7.9 million, or $0.86 per diluted common share, for the six months ended December 31, 2017.

On January 28, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on February 26, 2019, to shareholders of record as of February 12, 2019.

“We continued fiscal 2019 with another strong quarter,” said Richard Wayne, President and Chief Executive Officer. “For the quarter, we earned $0.56 per diluted common share through solid loan volume, purchased loan transactional income, and gain on the sale of SBA loans. Our Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group produced $113.5 million of loans, including originations of $64.1 million and purchases with a recorded investment of $49.4 million during the quarter. This represents quarterly net growth in the LASG portfolio of $58.1 million, or 8.2%. This quarterly activity helped drive our return on average equity to 13.9%, our return on average assets to 1.7%, and our efficiency ratio to 57.6%.”

As of December 31, 2018, total assets were $1.2 billion, an increase of $36.4 million, or 3.1%, from total assets of $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2018. The principal components of the changes in the balance sheet follow:

Loans generated by the Bank’s Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group (“LASG”) for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 totaled $113.5 million, which consisted of $49.4 million of purchased loans, at an average price of 93.7% of unpaid principal balance, and $64.1 million of originated loans. The Bank’s Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Division closed $13.8 million and funded $13.1 million of new loans during the quarter ended December 31, 2018. In addition, the Company sold $12.8 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans in the secondary market, of which $7.6 million were originated in the current quarter and $5.2 million were originated in prior quarters. Residential loan production sold in the secondary market totaled $7.7 million for the quarter.

As previously discussed in the Company’s SEC filings, the Company made certain commitments to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) in connection with the merger of FHB Formation LLC with and into the Company in December 2010. The Company’s loan purchase and commercial real estate loan availability under these conditions follow:

Basis for
Regulatory Condition
  Condition   Availability at December 31, 2018
        (Dollars in millions)
Total Loans   Purchased loans may not exceed 40% of total loans   $   75.7
Regulatory Capital   Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans may not exceed 300% of total capital     102.8
           

On January 7, 2019, the Company announced a corporate reorganization pursuant to which its bank holding company structure would be eliminated and the Bank would become the top-level company (the “Reorganization”). If the Reorganization is completed, these commitments to the FRB will no longer be applicable. The Bank intends to replace these commitments with standards relating to its capital levels and asset portfolio composition, which will be incorporated into its policies and procedures, and compliance with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) policy on commercial real estate concentration risk. These newly established standards are designed to help ensure the Bank will continue to operate in a safe and sound manner, but may permit more growth in the Bank’s loan portfolio as compared to operating under the existing commitments.

As a result of the Reorganization, the Bank intends to incorporate the following standards into its policies and procedures:

A requirement to hold non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans to within 300% of total capital will not formally be incorporated into the Bank’s risk management policies. The Bank nonetheless would continue to be evaluated by the FDIC through the supervisory process under the 300% “screen” used by the federal banking agencies to identify institutions that are potentially exposed to commercial real estate concentration risk.

Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation in below table entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.” 
 

2. Deposits increased by $30.7 million, or 3.2%, from June 30, 2018, attributable primarily to an increase in time deposits of $112.2 million, or 31.9%, as a result of campaigns in the current period, partially offset by decreases in money market accounts of $75.7 million, or 18.0%, and demand deposits of $3.9 million, or 5.5%.

3. Shareholders’ equity increased by $10.1 million, or 7.3%, from June 30, 2018, primarily due to earnings of $9.7 million.

Net income increased by $1.8 million to $5.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to net income of $3.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

1. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $3.2 million to $15.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to $12.4 million the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher average balances in the loan portfolio. These increases were partially offset by higher funding costs and higher average deposit balances.

The components of total income on purchased loans are set forth in the table below entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.” Wh­en compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017, transactional income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 increased by $206 thousand. The total return on purchased loans for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was 10.3%. When compared to the six months ended December 31, 2017, transactional income for the six months ended December 31, 2018 decreased by $1.1 million. This decrease over the prior comparable period was primarily due to lower accelerated accretion and loan fees in the six months ended December 31, 2018. The following table details the total return on purchased loans:

  Total Return on Purchased Loans
  Three Months Ended December 31,

Total $   15,223   9.88 %   $   13,800   11.65 %

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales, gains on real estate owned and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis.  The total return does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries in the quarter. Total return is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. 

2. Noninterest income increased by $317 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017, principally due to the following:

3. Noninterest expense increased by $1.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to the following:

4. Income tax expense increased by $678 thousand to $2.1 million, or an effective tax rate of 28.7%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to $1.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 29.5%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The increase in expense was primarily due to the increase in earnings. The decrease in effective tax rate was primarily due to the following:

As of December 31, 2018, nonperforming assets totaled $13.8 million, or 1.16% of total assets, as compared to $14.2 million, or 1.23% of total assets, as of June 30, 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, past due loans totaled $18.3 million, or 1.95% of total loans, as compared to past due loans totaled $7.7 million, or 0.89% of total loans as of June 30, 2018. The increase in past due loans is largely attributed to the thirty-one day month in December, as past due loans totaled $30.0 million, or 3.87% of total loans as of December 31, 2017.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 13.2%, compared to 13.1% at June 30, 2018, and the Total capital ratio was 19.2%, compared to 19.3% at June 30, 2018.

In connection with the Reorganization, the Company intends to redeem the $16.5 million unpaid principal balance of junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities by its three Delaware statutory trust subsidiaries, and the Bank will assume the Company’s obligations under the $15.1 million unpaid principal balance of 6.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due July 1, 2026. On a pro forma basis as of December 31, 2018, after giving effect to these transactions, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio and Total capital ratio would have been 12.0% and 17.6%, respectively, and the Bank would be considered “well capitalized” under all regulatory capital definitions.  In addition, the redemption of the junior subordinated debentures is expected to result in a reduction in net income of approximately $5.1 million, after tax, during the quarter in which the redemption occurs, due to the write-off of the carrying value discount on the debentures that was recognized in connection with the merger of FHB Formation LLC with and into the Company in December 2010.
