HOUSTON, Oct. 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allegiance Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABTX), the holding company of Allegiance Bank (collectively, “Allegiance”), reported net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 of $4.0 million or $0.40 per diluted common share, compared with $3.6 million or $0.36 per diluted common share for June 30, 2015, an increase in net income attributable to common stockholders of 11.7% and diluted earnings per common share of 11.1%.

“We are extremely proud to have recently completed an initial public offering of 2,990,000 million shares generating net proceeds of approximately $57.2 million. We are delighted with the support we received from investors during the IPO process and with the quality of our new stockholders,” said George Martinez, Allegiance’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“We are also pleased to report strong third quarter earnings and continued organic growth. Our super-community banking strategy remains our engine of growth in providing an exceptional customer experience to our owner-operated businesses,” concluded Martinez.

Results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, net income increased 8.7% to $4.2 million compared to net income of $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased 11.7% to $4.0 million compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.6 million for the linked quarter June 30, 2015. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $2.0 million, or 100.2% compared with the same period in 2014. Diluted earnings per common share increased 42.9% to $0.40 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $0.28 for the same period in 2014. Excluding $173 thousand in final dividends paid on our Series A and B preferred stock, redeemed in July 2015, our diluted earnings per common share would have been $0.42 for the third quarter of 2015.

Annualized returns on average assets, average common equity and average tangible common equity for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were 0.85%, 8.27% and 10.77%, respectively. Allegiance’s efficiency ratio increased to 65.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 64.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and decreased from 68.65% for the same period in 2014.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased 3.4% to $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $19.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to a $119.6 million or 7.2% increase in average interest-earning assets. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $8.3 million, or 68.0%, from $12.1 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily due to a 60.8% increase in average interest-earning assets as a result of the acquisition of F&M Bancshares, Inc. (“F&M”) on January 1, 2015, as well as organic growth within Allegiance’s loan portfolio. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased to 4.61% (or 4.44% excluding acquisition accounting adjustments) from 4.79% (or 4.49% excluding acquisition accounting adjustments) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to a decrease in acquisition accounting adjustments recorded during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter 2015. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis increased for the third quarter of 2015 compared with 4.35% for the same period in 2014.

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income increased $254 thousand or 26.8% primarily due to gains on the sale of loans during the third quarter of 2015. Noninterest income increased $596 thousand or 98.5% to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $605 thousand for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily due to increased fees and service charges resulting from the additional accounts acquired in the F&M acquisition consummated at the beginning of the first quarter of 2015.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $479 thousand or 3.6% compared to the linked quarter primarily due to additional salaries and benefits related to the recent hiring of several key income-producing employees. Noninterest expense increased $5.1 million or 58.8% to $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $8.8 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily due to additional noninterest expenses associated with the acquisition of F&M during the first quarter of 2015.

Financial Condition

Total loans increased $54.8 million or 3.5% to $1.62 billion at September 30, 2015 from $1.56 billion at June 30, 2015 due to strong organic loan growth within Allegiance’s loan portfolio. During the third quarter of 2015, core loans, which exclude the mortgage warehouse portfolio and loans held for sale, increased $68.7 million, but were partially offset by a decrease of $15.3 million in the mortgage warehouse portfolio, compared to the second quarter of 2015. Total loans at September 30, 2015 increased $651.5 million or 67.5%, compared with $964.9 million at September 30, 2014, primarily due to loans acquired in the F&M acquisition as well as organic growth within Allegiance’s portfolio.

Average loans increased $93.7 million or 6.3% to $1.57 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 from $1.48 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Average loans increased $632.2 million or 67.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 from $940.3 million for the same period in 2014.

Deposits increased $31.2 million or 1.9% to $1.66 billion at September 30, 2015 from $1.63 billion at June 30, 2015. Deposits at September 30, 2015 increased $550.8 million or 49.8%, compared with $1.11 billion at September 30, 2014, primarily due to the deposits acquired in the F&M acquisition.

Average deposits increased $28.3 million or 1.8% to $1.63 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 from $1.60 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Average deposits increased $549.7 million or 50.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 from $1.08 billion for the same period of 2014.

During the third quarter of 2015, Allegiance redeemed all of the preferred stock outstanding pursuant to the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program inherited in the F&M acquisition for an aggregate redemption price of $11.7 million.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $6.3 million or 0.31% of total assets at September 30, 2015, compared with $6.2 million or 0.32% of total assets at June 30, 2015, and $2.6 million or 0.21% of total assets at September 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses was 0.69% of total loans at September 30, 2015, 0.66% of total loans at June 30, 2015 and 0.80% of total loans at September 30, 2014.

The provision for loan losses was $1.5 million, or 0.39% of average loans, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $1.4 million, or 0.39% of average loans, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $750 thousand, or 0.32% of average loans, for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Net charge offs were $638 thousand, or 0.16% of average loans, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $48 thousand, or 0.01% of average loans, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $470 thousand, or 0.20% of average loans, for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Allegiance Bancshares, Inc.
GAAP Reconciliation and Management’s Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Allegiance’s management uses certain non−GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate its performance. Specifically, Allegiance reviews tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Allegiance has included in this Earnings Release information relating to these non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods presented. Allegiance believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition and results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which Allegiance calculates the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
