BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — National Commerce Corporation (NASDAQ:NCOM) (the “Company” or “NCC”) today reported third quarter 2015 net income to common shareholders of $2.5 million, compared with $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2014.  Diluted net earnings per share were $0.26 in both the 2015 and 2014 third quarters.

“We are pleased with our progress in the third quarter,” said John H. Holcomb, III, Chairman and CEO of the Company.  “Our team continues to do a great job serving our customers and growing the bank.  As always, we need to maintain our focus on continued profitability and performance.”

Several important measures from the third quarter are as follows:

  • Net Interest Margin (tax-effected) of 4.02%, compared with 3.87% for the third quarter of 2014. The margin declined from the 2015 second quarter by 0.20%, largely due to increased cash and fed funds balances.  During the third quarter of 2015, average cash and fed funds balances increased $54.6 million as compared to second quarter 2015 average balances.
  • Return on Average Assets of 0.75%, compared with 0.73% for the third quarter of 2014.  Return on Average Assets was also impacted by the larger average balances in cash and fed funds during the third quarter of 2015.
  • Return on Average Tangible Common Equity of 6.85%, compared with 6.76% for the third quarter of 2014.
  • Third quarter 2015 loan growth (excluding mortgage loans held for sale) of $44.5 million, representing an 18.2% annualized growth rate.  Excluding factoring receivables, loans grew at a 19.8% annualized growth rate.
  • Third quarter 2015 deposit growth of $90.4 million, representing a 34.1% annualized growth rate. 
  • $82.3 million in mortgage production, compared with $53.5 million for the third quarter of 2014.
  • $182.7 million in purchased volume in the factoring division.  Note that, because the Company entered the factoring business on August 29, 2014, the figure for the 2014 third quarter is not comparable since it only represents one month’s activity.
  • Increase in non-acquired non-performing assets to $4.5 million from $4.2 million at June 30, 2015 and $2.1 million at September 30, 2014.
  • Annualized net charge-offs of 0.03%, compared to 0.07% for the third quarter of 2014.
  • Ending tangible book value per share of $15.42.
  • Ending book value per share of $18.80.

The Company also announced the closing of its Kissimmee, Florida and English Village (Birmingham), Alabama branch banking offices effective December 31, 2015.  The Company’s mortgage division will continue to operate out of the English Village location.  In association with these closings, the Company expects to incur approximately $160 thousand in closing and severance costs in the fourth quarter of 2015, with a reduction in annualized operating expenses of approximately $500 thousand in 2016 from the reduced overhead expense associated with these offices.  Following these closings, the Company will still have five branch offices in the Orlando area and two in the Birmingham area, one of which is approximately two miles from the English Village location.

The Company will host a live audio webcast conference call beginning at 3:00 p.m. Central Time on October 22, 2015 to discuss third quarter 2015 results.  Investors may call in (toll free) by dialing (855) 871-0559 (conference ID 55748335).  A  replay  of  the conference call will be available beginning two hours after the completion of the call until 10:59 p.m. Central Time on Saturday, October 24, 2015 and can be accessed by dialing (855) 859-2056.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures presented in this press release and included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements are not measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).  These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, allowance for loan losses to nonacquired loans, efficiency ratio and operating efficiency ratio.  Our management uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of the Company’s performance.

  • “Tangible common equity” is total shareholders’ equity less goodwill, other intangible assets and minority interest not included in intangible assets.
  • “Average tangible common equity” is defined as the average of our tangible common equity for the applicable period.
  • “Return on average tangible common equity,” or ROATCE, is defined as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common equity.
  • “Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period-to-period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.
  • “Allowance for loan losses to nonacquired loans” is defined as the total allowance for loan losses less the allowance for loan losses attributable to factored receivables divided by nonacquired loans held for investment excluding factored receivables at end of period.
  • “Efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by our operating revenue (which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income) excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities. This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in our productivity measured by the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.
  • “Operating efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by our operating revenue, excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities and one-time gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition-related activities. This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in our productivity measured by the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

             
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations.  As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.  These non-GAAP financial measures exclude various items detailed in the attached “Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”
