SOUDERTON, Pa., April 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania (“Univest” or “Corporation”) (NASDAQ:UVSP), parent company of Univest Bank and Trust Co. (“Bank”) and its insurance, investments and equipment financing subsidiaries, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Univest reported net income of $10.9 million or $0.41 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to net income of $7.3 million or $0.37 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 included $220 thousand of acquisition and integration costs related to the Fox Chase acquisition, or $0.01 of diluted earnings per share, net of tax. There were no acquisition and integration costs during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Loans
Gross loans and leases increased $56.0 million or 6.8% (annualized) from December 31, 2016. Gross loans and leases increased $1.2 billion or 53.1% from March 31, 2016, including $776.2 million of loans acquired from Fox Chase Bank. Organic loan growth, which excludes the loans acquired from Fox Chase at June 30, 2016, was $382.4 million or 12.9% from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. The growth in loans in 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 was primarily in commercial real estate, commercial business and residential real estate loans.

Deposits
Total deposits increased $108.4 million or 13.3% (annualized) from December 31, 2016. Deposits increased $1.0 billion from March 31, 2016 primarily due to $738.3 million of deposits acquired from Fox Chase. Organic deposit growth, which excludes the Fox Chase deposits at June 30, 2016, was $293.3 million or 9.5% from March 31, 2016. The growth in deposits in 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 was primarily due to increases in public funds and commercial customer deposits.

Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income of $34.3 million for the first quarter of 2017 was consistent with the fourth quarter of 2016 and increased $10.8 million, or 45.7%, from the same period in 2016. Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the first quarter of 2017 was 3.80%, compared to 3.81% for the fourth quarter of 2016. The favorable impact of purchase accounting accretion was 8 basis points ($764 thousand) for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to 20 basis points ($1.8 million) for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting accretion, net interest margin was 3.72% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to 3.61% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 and net interest income increased $1.2 million, or 3.6%, for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. The improvement in net interest margin, excluding purchase accounting accretion, is primarily due to the increase in interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2016 which increased loan yields at a greater pace than rates on deposits and an improvement in mortgage backed security yields due to a slowdown in payment speeds. A detailed analysis comparing net interest margin and net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and the quarter ended December 31, 2016 is included in the attached exhibits.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $15.0 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 8.2% from the first quarter of 2016. Service charges on deposits increased $245 thousand or 24.5% for the quarter mostly due to fees on deposit accounts acquired from Fox Chase. Investment advisory commission and fee income increased $510 thousand or 19.1% from the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to a combination of both increased new customer relationships and favorable market performance during 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) income increased $313 thousand or 66.6% for the quarter primarily due to policies acquired from Fox Chase and increased income of $105 thousand on non-qualified annuities. Other income increased $311 thousand or 15.5% for the quarter mainly due to an increase in other service fee income of $156 thousand and net gains on sales of other real estate owned of $114 thousand. These increases were partially offset by modest decreases in insurance and mortgage banking income. Insurance commission and fee income decreased $148 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to a decrease in contingent commission income of $340 thousand, which was $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The net gain on mortgage banking decreased $105 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to a decrease in mortgage volume. 

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $32.0 million, an increase of $5.1 million or 18.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2016. Salaries and benefit expense increased $2.5 million for the quarter, primarily attributable to higher staffing levels resulting from the Fox Chase acquisition, additional staff hired to support revenue generation across all business lines and the expansion into Lancaster County. Premises and equipment expenses increased $782 thousand for the quarter, primarily due to higher premises expense related to Fox Chase locations and expansion into Philadelphia, Lancaster County and the Lehigh Valley. Data processing expense increased $777 thousand for the quarter due to increased investments in computer software and our outsourced data processing solution as well as the addition of Fox Chase processing expense. Other expense increased $1.1 million for the quarter primarily due to inclusion of Fox Chase related expenses and an increase of $416 thousand related to Bank shares tax as a result of a statutory rate increase in 2017 and the Corporation’s growth primarily due to the Fox Chase acquisition.

Asset Quality and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Non-accrual loans and leases, including non-accrual troubled debt restructured loans, were $19.9 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $17.9 million at December 31, 2016. Nonperforming assets were $27.3 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $27.1 million at December 31, 2016. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $416 thousand during the first quarter of 2017. The provision for loan and lease losses was $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2017. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment, excluding covered loans acquired in the Fox Chase and Valley Green Bank acquisitions which were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date, was 0.74% at March 31, 2017, compared to 0.73% at December 31, 2016 and 0.86% at March 31, 2016.

Tax Provision
The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was 26.5%, compared to 27.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. During the quarter, the Corporation recognized a $288 thousand discrete tax benefit related to the vesting of restricted stock and exercise of stock options, which provided a tax deduction greater than previously recorded.  This change is in accordance with Accounting Standard Update 2016-9 which was implemented by the Corporation in the fourth quarter of 2016 and requires the tax impact of such equity related activities to be recorded as an adjustment to income in the period incurred, rather than an adjustment to equity.  Excluding this discrete benefit, the effective income tax rate for the quarter was 28.5%, which reflects the Corporation’s level of tax exempt income for the period relative to the overall level of taxable income.

Dividend
On February 22, 2017, Univest declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, payable on April 3, 2017. This represented a 3.09% annualized yield based on the closing price of Univest’s stock on the date the dividend was paid.
