DUBUQUE, Iowa, July 25, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Heartland Financial USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:HTLF) today reported net income available to common stockholders of $20.9 million, or $0.84 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to $15.0 million, or $0.72 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2015. Return on average common equity was 12.58% and return on average assets was 1.03% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 12.26% and 0.91%, respectively, for the same quarter in 2015.

Net income available to common stockholders for the first six months of 2016 was $40.8 million, or $1.66 per diluted common share, compared to $30.5 million, or $1.47 per diluted common share, for the first six months of 2015. Return on average common equity was 12.63% and return on average assets was 1.01% for the first six months of 2016, compared to 12.90% and 0.94%, respectively, for the same period in 2015.

Commenting on Heartland’s second quarter 2016 results, Lynn B. Fuller, Heartland’s chairman and chief executive officer said, “Heartland continued to set new records with a strong financial performance for the second quarter and first half of 2016. Net income of $20.9 million represents a 40% increase over earnings for the second quarter of 2015 while year-to-date 2016 net income of $40.8 million represents a 34% increase over the previous year.”

On February 5, 2016, Heartland completed the acquisition of CIC Bancshares, Inc., parent company of Centennial Bank, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, in a transaction valued at approximately $82.3 million. Of this amount, $15.7 million was paid in cash with the remainder of the consideration provided by the issuance of Heartland common stock, a new series of convertible preferred stock and the assumption of convertible notes and subordinated debt. Simultaneous with closing of the transaction, Centennial Bank merged into Heartland’s Summit Bank & Trust subsidiary, with the resulting institution operating under the name, Centennial Bank and Trust. As of the closing date, Centennial Bank had, at fair value, total assets of $769.7 million, total loans of $581.5 million and total deposits of $648.1 million. The systems conversion for this transaction was completed in June 2016.

Fully Taxable Equivalent Net Interest Margin Remains Above 4.00% and Interest Income Increases

Net interest margin, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, was 3.95% (4.12% on a fully taxable equivalent basis) during the second quarter of 2016, compared to 4.02% (4.19% on a fully taxable equivalent basis) during the first quarter of 2016 and 3.81% (3.97% on a fully taxable equivalent basis) during the second quarter of 2015.

Fuller said, “We are very pleased to see net interest margin of 4.12% on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the second quarter.  Heartland’s enviable margin is the result of diligent price discipline. Net interest income in dollars has increased steadily for each of the last 15 quarters.”

Interest income for the second quarter of 2016 was $81.3 million, an increase of $15.9 million or 24%, compared  to the $65.4 million recorded in the second quarter of 2015. The tax-equivalent adjustment for income taxes saved on the interest earned on nontaxable securities and loans was $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2015. With these adjustments, interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $84.5 million for the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $16.6 million or 25%, compared to $67.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increase in interest income in the second quarter of 2016, as compared to the second quarter of 2015, was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets, which totaled $7.45 billion during the second quarter of 2016 compared to $6.07 billion during the second quarter of 2015, a $1.38 billion or 23% increase.  A majority of this growth was attributable to the three acquisitions completed during the last half of 2015, in addition to the acquisition of CIC Bancshares, Inc. completed in February 2016.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2016 was $8.2 million, an increase of $416,000 or 5% from $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2015. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $912.3 million or 20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the same quarter in 2015, while the average interest rate paid on Heartland’s interest bearing deposits and borrowings declined 8 basis points from 0.70% in the second quarter of 2015 to 0.62% in the second quarter of 2016. The average interest rate paid on savings deposits was 0.22% during the second quarter of 2016 compared to 0.23% during the second quarter of 2015, and the average interest rate paid on time deposits was 0.79% during the second quarter of 2016 compared to 0.97% during the second quarter of 2015.

Net interest income increased $15.5 million or 27% to $73.1 million in the second quarter of 2016 from the $57.6 million recorded in the second quarter of 2015. After the tax-equivalent adjustment discussed above, net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $76.3 million during the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $16.2 million or 27% from the $60.1 million recorded during the second quarter of 2015.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expenses Increase

Noninterest income totaled $31.0 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to $30.7 million during the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $365,000 or 1%. Service charges and fees totaled $8.0 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to $5.9 million during the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $2.1 million or 36%. This increase was primarily attributable to a larger demand deposit customer base, a portion of which is attributable to the acquisitions completed during the last half of 2015 and first quarter of 2016. Net securities gains totaled $4.6 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to $3.1 million during the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $1.5 million or 49%. Gains on sale of loans held for sale totaled $11.3 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to $14.6 million during the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of $3.3 million or 23%.

Fuller commented, “We are seeing solid improvement from key fee-producing business lines as we expand our footprint and offer financial services to clients of our newly-acquired banks. Specifically, in the second quarter of 2016, revenues from commercial card services and debit cards increased more than 10% over the first quarter.”

For the second quarter of 2016, noninterest expenses totaled $71.0 million compared to $63.5 million during the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $7.5 million or 12%. The categories with the most significant increases were the following: salaries and employee benefits, which increased $5.1 million or 14%; occupancy, which increased $1.2 million or 30%; and professional fees, which increased $2.2 million or 43%. These increases were primarily attributable to the recent acquisitions.

Heartland’s effective tax rate was 32.37% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to 20.83% for the second quarter of 2015. Included in Heartland’s income taxes for the second quarter of 2015 were federal historic rehabilitation tax credits totaling $2.9 million associated with Heartland’s ownership interest in a qualifying real estate project. Federal low-income housing tax credits included in the determination of Heartland’s income taxes totaled $304,000 during the second quarter of 2016 compared to $145,000 during the second quarter of 2015. Heartland’s effective tax rate was also affected by the level of tax-exempt interest income which, as a percentage of pre-tax income, was 18.86% during the second quarter of 2016 compared to 23.35% during the second quarter of 2015.

Loans and Deposits Increase Since Year-End Due to First Quarter Acquisition

Total assets were $8.20 billion at June 30, 2016, an increase of $509.6 million or 7% since year-end 2015. Included in this growth, at fair value, were $769.7 million of assets acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction. Securities represented 23% of total assets at June 30, 2016, compared to 24% at December 31, 2015.

Total loans and leases held to maturity were $5.48 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $5.00 billion at year-end 2015, an increase of $480.8 million or 10%. This increase includes $581.5 million of total loans and leases held to maturity, at fair value, acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction. Exclusive of this transaction, total loans and leases held to maturity decreased $20.7 million during the second quarter of 2016 and $80.0 million during the first quarter of 2016.

Total deposits were $6.84 billion as of June 30, 2016, compared to $6.41 billion at year-end 2015, an increase of $431.7 million or 7%. This increase included $648.1 million of deposits, at fair value, acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. acquisition. Exclusive of this transaction, total deposits decreased $86.8 million during the second quarter of 2016 and $129.6 million during the first quarter of 2016, with both decreases primarily attributable to reduced time deposits. Demand deposits totaled $2.15 billion at June 30, 2016, an increase of $235.8 million or 12% since year-end 2015, with $164.3 million of the increase attributable to the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction. Exclusive of this transaction, demand deposits increased $70.4 million during the second quarter of 2016 and $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2016.

Nonperforming Assets Increase

Nonperforming assets were $68.6 million or 0.84% of total assets at June 30, 2016, compared to $51.7 million or 0.67% of total assets at December 31, 2015. Exclusive of $3.5 million of nonperforming assets, at fair value, acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction, nonperforming assets increased $13.4 million or 26% since year-end 2015. Nonperforming loans were $57.1 million or 1.04% of total loans and leases at June 30, 2016, compared to $39.7 million or 0.79% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2015.

The allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2016, was 0.94% of loans and leases and 90.72% of nonperforming loans compared to 0.97% of loans and leases and 122.77% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2015. The provision for loan losses was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2015.

Fuller commented, “Overall credit quality remains sound, with nonperforming assets moving up, impacted by one large, well-collateralized legacy credit that moved to nonperforming status during the second quarter, as well as continued recognition of a small number of credits from the recently acquired bank portfolios.”
