STILLWATER, Okla., Oct. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKSB), (“Southwest”), today reported net income for the third quarter of 2015 of $4.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014, which included a negative (credit) provision for loan losses of $2.9 million. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $12.8 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to $15.1 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Included in the prior year’s results was a pre-tax net gain on sale of bank branches of $4.4 million and a negative (credit) provision for loan losses of $4.2 million, versus a negative (credit) provision for loan losses of $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2015.

Southwest also announced that its board of directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share payable November 13, 2015 to shareholders of record as of October 30, 2015.

Mark Funke, President and CEO, stated, “The third quarter was a busy and successful quarter for Bank SNB.  We received regulatory approval to acquire First Commercial Bancshares, Inc. and completed the acquisition in early October.  This expands our presence in the Oklahoma City metro area with five additional branches, increasing our total to ten. It also adds Colorado to our geographic footprint with three branches in Denver and one in Colorado Springs. 

“The financial results for the third quarter reflect solid earnings, improved efficiency, and strong loan growth. Our efforts produced several highlights:

  • Received regulatory approval to acquire Edmond-based First Commercial Bancshares, Inc. (“FCBI”) and closed the merger on October 9, 2015.
  • Loan growth was $98.7 million, or 7%, for the third quarter and $148.1 million, or 11%, for the first nine months of 2015. We have had seven consecutive quarters of loan growth.
  • The quarterly net interest margin improved to 3.34% at September 30, 2015 compared to 3.31% at June 30, 2015. 
  • The quarterly efficiency ratio improved to 68.25% for the third quarter, reflecting management’s commitment to improved operating performance.

“Our financial results and the strong loan growth for the third quarter reflect the excellent work of our banking associates. We will continue to focus our company on producing consistent, conservative, and sustainable earnings through the expansion of our revenue base while prudently managing our expenses.”

Southwest’s share repurchase program, approved in August of 2014, authorized the repurchase of up to 5.0% or 990,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, par value $1.00 per share.  As of September 30, 2015, Southwest had repurchased 867,310 shares for a total of $14.3 million.  During the third quarter of 2015, no shares were repurchased due to trade restrictions pursuant to the pending acquisition of FCBI. On August 14, 2015, this share repurchase plan expired.  On February 24, 2015, Southwest’s board of directors authorized a second share repurchase program of up to another 5.0% of its outstanding common stock, or approximately 950,000 shares, which became effective on August 14, 2015, immediately following the expiration of the 2014 program.

Third Quarter Results:

Summary:  For the third quarter of 2015, net income was $4.1 million, compared to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2015 and $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2014. 

The $0.04 million decrease in net income compared to the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a small loan provision for loan losses versus a negative provision for loan losses in the previous quarter of $1.1 million, a $0.1 million increase in noninterest expense, and an increase in taxes of $0.1 million, offset in part by a $0.7 million increase in net interest income and a $0.6 million increase of noninterest income.

The $1.2 million decrease in our net income compared to the third quarter of 2014 was primarily the result of a small loan provision for loan losses versus a negative provision for loan losses in the previous quarter of $2.9 million and a $0.7 million increase in noninterest expense, offset in part by a $0.7 million increase in net interest income, a $0.9 million increase in noninterest income, and a $0.9 million decrease in taxes.

Net Interest Income:  Net interest income totaled $16.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $15.8 million for the second quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2014.  Net interest margin was 3.34% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 3.31% for the second quarter of 2015 and 3.44% for the third quarter of 2014. Loans (including loans held for sale) for the third quarter of 2015 increased $98.7 million, or 7%, when compared to June 30, 2015, and $180.7 million, or 13%, when compared to September 30, 2014.

Provision (Credit) for Loan Losses and Net Charge-offs:  The provision for loan losses is the amount that is required to maintain the allowance for losses at an appropriate level based upon the inherent risks in the loan portfolio after the effects of net charge-offs or net recoveries for the period.  The provision for loan losses was a provision of $0.02 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to a negative provision of $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2015, and a negative provision of $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2014. The $98.7 million loan growth in the third quarter of 2015 accounts for $1.3 million of the excess provision for loan losses. During the third quarter of 2015, net recoveries totaled $0.4 million, or (0.09%) (annualized) of average portfolio loans, compared to net recoveries of $0.1 million, or (0.03%) (annualized) of average portfolio loans for the second quarter of 2015 and net recoveries of $0.7 million, or (0.21%) (annualized) of average portfolio loans for the third quarter of 2014. 

Noninterest Income:  Noninterest income totaled $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 and $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2014. 

The $0.6 million increase from the second quarter of 2015 is primarily the result of a $0.8 million increase in other noninterest income, primarily from customer risk management interest rate swap income, offset in part by a $0.1 million decrease in gain on sale of mortgage loans, and a $0.1 million decrease in gain on sale of securities. 

The $0.9 million increase from the third quarter of 2014 is primarily the result of a $0.2 million increase in the gain on sale of mortgage loans and a $0.8 million increase in other noninterest income, primarily from customer risk management interest rate swap income and interest income on bank owned life insurance, offset in part by a $0.1 million decrease in service charges and fees.

Noninterest Expense:  Noninterest expense totaled $14.1 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $14.0 million for the second quarter of 2015 and $13.4 million for the third quarter of 2014. 

The $0.1 million increase in noninterest expense from the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a $0.1 million increase in each personnel expense, occupancy expense, and data processing, offset in part by a $0.1 million decrease in other real estate, and a $0.1 million decrease in general and administrative expense primarily related to the decrease in provision for unfunded loan commitments, and also included $0.3 million in FCBI acquisition expenses and $0.1 million in swap fee consulting expense, offset in part by the reversal of a prior accrual of a contingent liability.

The $0.7 million increase in noninterest expense from the third quarter of 2014 consisted of a $0.6 million increase in personnel expense, a $0.1 million increase in data processing, a $0.2 million increase in other real estate, and a $0.3 million increase in the provision for unfunded loan commitments, offset in part by a $0.6 million decrease in general and administrative expense, which includes primarily legal, accounting, and marketing expenses.

Income Tax:  Income tax expense totaled $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2015 and $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2014.  The income tax expense fluctuates in relation to pre-tax income levels.  The third quarter of 2015 effective tax rate was 35.84%, compared to 34.51% for the second quarter of 2015 and 37.49% for the third quarter of 2014. The decline in the effective tax rate includes the impact of an increase in tax exempt income, as a percentage of pre-tax income.

Year-to-date Results:

Summary:  Net income was $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The $2.3 million decrease in net income from 2014 is the result of a $0.5 million decrease in net interest income, a $1.2 million decrease in the negative provision for loan losses, and a $4.1 million decrease in noninterest income, which is primarily the pre-tax net gain of $4.4 million on the sales of community bank branches in the second quarter of 2014, offset in part by a $1.7 million decrease in noninterest expense, primarily due to decreased general and administrative expense and other real estate expenses, and a $1.8 million decrease in income tax.

Net Interest Income:  Net interest income totaled $47.9 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $48.4 million for the first nine months of 2014, a decrease of $0.5 million.  Year-to-date net interest margin was 3.30%, compared to 3.43% for 2014. Included in interest income for the first nine months of 2014 was $0.8 million due to accelerated discount accretion attributable to the sale of loans covered by a loss share agreement and $0.6 million due to the interest recognition resulting from loans returning to accrual status.  The net effect of these adjustments on the net interest margin was a 9 basis point increase for the first nine months of 2014.  With the rate environment remaining low, earning assets are repricing at lower rates.

Provision (Credit) for Loan Losses and Net Charge-offs:  The provision for loan losses is the amount of expense that is required to maintain the allowance for losses at an appropriate level based upon the inherent risks in the loan portfolio after the effects of net charge-offs or net recoveries for the period.  The provision for loan losses was a credit (or negative) of $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to a negative provision of $4.2 million for the first nine months of 2014. Net recoveries totaled $1.1 million, or (0.11%) (annualized) of average portfolio loans year-to-date as of September 30, 2015, compared to net charge-offs of $1.5 million, or 0.15% (annualized) of average portfolio loans for the same period in 2014.  

Noninterest Income:  Noninterest income totaled $10.3 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $14.4 million for the first nine months of 2014.  The decrease consists of a $0.4 million decrease in service charges and fees, the $4.4 million recognized as the pre-tax net gain on the sales of the community bank branches in the second quarter of 2014, and a $0.6 million decrease in the gain on sale of investment securities, due to the gain on the sale of a stock investment that was acquired in a prior year repossession in 2014, offset in part by a $0.5 million increase in gains on sales of mortgage loans and a $0.8 million increase in other noninterest income, which includes customer risk management interest rate swap income and interest income on bank owned life insurance. 

Noninterest Expense:  Noninterest expense totaled $41.1 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $42.8 million for the first nine months of 2014.  The decrease consists of a $0.2 million decrease in other real estate expense and a $1.7 million decrease in other general and administrative expenses, which primarily includes legal, marketing, travel, consulting, and is offset by $0.5 million in FCBI acquisition expenses. These decreases are offset in part by a $0.2 million increase in employee benefit expenses and a $0.1 million increase in the provision for unfunded loan commitments.

Income Tax:  Income tax expense totaled $7.2 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $9.1 million for the first nine months of 2014.  The income tax expense fluctuates in relation to pre-tax income levels.  The year-to-date effective tax rate was 36.02% as of September 30, 2015, compared to 37.50% as of September 30, 2014. The decline in the effective tax rate includes the impact of an increase in tax exempt income, as a percentage of pre-tax income.
