GULFPORT, Miss., Oct. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hancock Holding Company (Nasdaq:HBHC) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2015. Net income for the third quarter of 2015 was $41.2 million, or $.52 per diluted common share, compared to $34.8 million, or $.44 in the second quarter of 2015 and $46.6 million, or $.56, in the third quarter of 2014. The year-over-year decline in earnings was mainly related to a decrease in purchase accounting income of approximately $13.0 million (pre-tax). The quarter-over-quarter change was mainly related to the $8.9 million of nonoperating expenses included in the second quarter of 2015.
“The quality of our results is improving each quarter and we are growing our company while also managing through the current energy cycle,” said President and CEO John M. Hairston. “The initiatives we have put in place are working. We grew core revenue over $6 million linked-quarter while pre-tax, pre-provision earnings increased over $12 million. This quarter we added another $5 million, or almost a nickel of earnings, to the provision to build the energy reserve and remain confident that any credit losses we see today from the low oil prices are reserved for and should not be significant. As we have noted since the beginning of this energy cycle, we believe the cycle to be manageable without putting our strong capital levels at risk.”
Loans
Total loans at September 30, 2015 were $14.8 billion, up $418 million, or 3%, from June 30, 2015. Many markets across the footprint reported net loan growth during the quarter, with growth also noted in various business lines such as indirect, mortgage and specialty finance.
At September 30, 2015, loans in the energy segment totaled $1.6 billion, or 11% of total loans. The energy portfolio declined approximately $10 million linked-quarter and is comprised of credits to both the E&P industry and support industries. Additional details of the energy portfolio are included in the presentation slides posted on our Investor Relations website.
Average loans totaled $14.5 billion for the third quarter of 2015, up $373 million, or 3%, linked-quarter.
On October 6, 2015, the company announced the opening of a loan production office in Nashville, Tennessee, and an agreement to purchase approximately $190 million of healthcare loans. This transaction supports our initiative to continue diversifying our loan portfolio, in addition to capitalizing on opportunities we see to expand the healthcare lending business across our Gulf South footprint. The acquired loans will be included in our fourth quarter of 2015 results.
Deposits
Total deposits at September 30, 2015 were $17.4 billion, up $138 million, or 1%, from June 30, 2015. Average deposits for the third quarter of 2015 were $17.3 billion, up $451 million, or 3%, linked-quarter.
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits (DDAs) totaled $6.1 billion at September 30, 2015, down $105 million from June 30, 2015. DDAs comprised 35% of total period-end deposits at September 30, 2015.
Interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits totaled $7.4 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2015, up $366 million, or 5%, from June 30, 2015. Time deposits of $2.2 billion increased $72 million, or 3%, while interest-bearing public fund deposits decreased $194 million, or 10%, to $1.8 billion at September 30, 2015.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets (NPAs) totaled $206 million at September 30, 2015, up $41 million from June 30, 2015. During the third quarter of 2015, total nonperforming loans increased approximately $46 million while foreclosed and surplus real estate (ORE) and other foreclosed assets decreased approximately $5 million. The net increase in nonperforming loans was mainly related to three energy loans which were downgraded during the quarter. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total loans, ORE and other foreclosed assets was 1.39% at September 30, 2015, up 24 bps from June 30, 2015.
The total allowance for loan losses was $139.6 million at September 30, 2015, up $8.5 million from June 30, 2015. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to period-end loans was 0.95% at September 30, 2015, up from 0.91% at June 30, 2015. The allowance maintained on the non-FDIC acquired portion of the loan portfolio increased $7.0 million linked-quarter, totaling $114 million, and the reserve on the FDIC acquired loan portfolio increased approximately $1.5 million linked-quarter.
Pricing pressures on oil continued during the third quarter and led to additional downward pressure on risk ratings. Based on those changes, and updates to the qualitative factors related to energy, the reserve for the energy portfolio was increased approximately $5.0 million, to $35 million, linked-quarter. The increase in risk rating downgrades within the energy portfolio during the third quarter included approximately $66 million of shared national credits that were on appeal at June 30, 2015. The impact to the allowance for the possible downgrades on these shared national credits was included in the second quarter of 2015.
Management believes that if further risk rating downgrades occur they could lead to additional loan loss provisions but not translate to significant credit losses. The impact and severity of risk rating migration, associated provision and net charge-offs will depend on overall oil price reduction and the duration of the cycle. Additional details of the energy portfolio are included in the presentation slides posted on our Investor Relations website.
Net charge-offs from the non-FDIC acquired loan portfolio were $3.5 million, or 0.09% of average total loans on an annualized basis in the third quarter of 2015, up from $1.2 million, or 0.03% of average total loans in the second quarter of 2015.
During the third quarter of 2015, Hancock recorded a total provision for loan losses of $10.1 million, up $3.5 million from the second quarter of 2015.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income (TE) for the third quarter of 2015 was $160.1 million, up $5.3 million from the second quarter of 2015. During the third quarter, the impact on net interest income from purchase accounting adjustments (PAAs) declined $1.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact from purchase accounting items, core net interest income increased $6.6 million linked-quarter. Average earning assets were $19.4 billion for the third quarter of 2015, up $653 million, or 3%, from the second quarter of 2015.
The reported net interest margin (TE) was 3.28% for the third quarter of 2015, down 2 bps from the second quarter of 2015. The decline was mainly related to the decrease in purchase accounting adjustments noted above. The core net interest margin (reported net interest income (TE) excluding total net purchase accounting adjustments, annualized, as a percent of average earning assets) increased 1 basis point to 3.15% during the third quarter of 2015. An increase in the core loan yield (4 bps) and an increase in the securities portfolio yield (3 bps), offset by a slight increase in the cost of funds (2 bps), contributed to the expansion in the margin.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income, including securities transactions, totaled $60.2 million for the third quarter of 2015, down $0.7 million, or 1%, from the second quarter of 2015. Included in the total is a reduction of $1.6 million related to the amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset, compared to a reduction of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of this item and securities transactions, core noninterest income totaled $61.8 million, down slightly linked-quarter.
Service charges on deposits totaled $18.6 million for the third quarter of 2015, up $0.7 million, or 4%, from the second quarter of 2015. Bank card and ATM fees totaled $11.6 million, down $0.2 million, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2015.
Trust fees totaled $11.3 million, down $0.4 million, or 4%, linked-quarter. The decrease was due, in part, to seasonal tax return preparation fees in the second quarter of 2015. Investment and annuity income and insurance fees totaled $8.4 million, up $1 million, or 13%, linked-quarter.
Fees from secondary mortgage operations totaled $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2015, down $0.2 million, or 6%, linked-quarter. During the third quarter, a slightly smaller portion of loan production was sold in the secondary market compared to last quarter.
Other noninterest income (excluding the amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset noted above) totaled $8.4 million, down $1.2 million, or 12%, from the second quarter of 2015. The decline is mainly related to a lower level of customer interest rate swap income in the third quarter.
Noninterest Expense & Taxes
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $151.2 million. There were no nonoperating expenses in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding nonoperating items, expenses were up $1.2 million, or less than 1%, linked-quarter. (The details of the changes in the noninterest expense categories noted below exclude the impact of nonoperating items.)
Total personnel expense was $84.2 million in the third quarter of 2015, up $1.6 million, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2015. The increase primarily reflects salary and incentive expenses related to revenue initiatives.
Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, down $1.0 million, or 6%, from the second quarter of 2015.
ORE expense totaled $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2015, down $0.1 million from the second quarter of 2015.
Other operating expense totaled $45.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, up $0.8 million, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2015.
The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2015 was 26%, unchanged from the second quarter of 2015. Management expects the effective income tax rate to approximate 25-27% in 2015. The effective income tax rate continues to be less than the statutory rate of 35% due primarily to tax-exempt income and tax credits.
Capital
Common shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2015 totaled $2.5 billion. The tangible common equity (TCE) ratio was 8.24%, up 12 bps from June 30, 2015. During the quarter the company repurchased 568,279 common shares under the new 5% common stock buyback authorization announced in late August 2015. The shares were repurchased at an average price of $27.39. Additional capital ratios are included in the financial tables.
