MOOREFIELD, W. Va., April 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Summit Financial Group, Inc. (“Company” or “Summit”) (NASDAQ:SMMF) today reported a first quarter 2017 net loss of $1.62 million, or ($0.15) per diluted share, compared to earnings of $4.06 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, reported for the first quarter of 2016 and earnings of $4.71 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, reported for the fourth quarter of 2016. Summit’s first quarter 2017 net loss resulted principally from a legal settlement which reduced its earnings by $0.58 per diluted share.

First Quarter 2017 Significant Highlights:

  • As previously announced, a charge of $9.9 million, or $6.2 million after-tax, was recorded to resolve fully all litigation with the Residential Funding Company, LLC and ResCap Liquidating Trust (collectively, “ResCap”);
  • Total revenues increased 1.5 percent compared to the linked quarter and 11.1 percent compared to the year ago quarter, principally as result of the acquisition of HCB;
  • Net loans, excluding mortgage warehouse lines of credit, grew $40.8 million, or 12.5 percent (on an annualized basis), compared to December 31, 2016;
  • Net interest margin increased 20 basis points compared to the linked quarter and 4 basis points compared to the year-ago quarter, reflecting our improving yields on interest earning assets and relatively stable funding costs;
  • Gains realized on sales of securities declined from $393,000 in Q1 2016 to a loss of $58,000 in Q1 2017;
  • Write-downs of foreclosed properties were $418,000 in Q1 2017 compared to $109,000 during Q1 2016;
  • Merger-related expenses of $109,000 were incurred during Q1 2017, compared to $588,000 in Q4 2016 and $112,000 in Q1 2016.
  • Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets declined for the eighteenth consecutive quarter to 2.16 percent compared to 2.22 percent at December 31, 2016, reaching its lowest level since Q2 2008;
  • On April 1, 2017, Summit completed its acquisition of First Century Bankshares, Inc. (“FCB”) and its subsidiary, First Century Bank, headquartered in Bluefield, West Virginia. At March 31, 2017, FCB had approximately $404.8 million in total assets.

H. Charles Maddy III, President and Chief Executive Officer of Summit, commented, “While I was very disappointed recently to report the substantial charge to our first quarter earnings to resolve the ResCap litigation, we believe this settlement was in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders; it eliminates the possibility of any additional exposure relative to this issue and puts it behind us, thus allowing us to direct more resources towards enhancing long-term shareholder value. On a more positive note, Summit achieved another quarter of solid core operating performance highlighted by our improving net interest margin and core loan growth. The former Highland County Bankshares’ banking operations are now fully integrated into Summit, and its impact on our performance is exceeding our expectations. Going forward, our recently closed acquisition of FCB represents another exceptional opportunity. This transaction combines two financially strong banks with similar cultures, core values and exceptional opportunities for operational synergies, as well as a shared commitment to build long-term client relationships by providing service beyond expectations. We converted FCB’s data processing systems and re-identified its branches to that of Summit’s effective April 24, 2017.”

HCB Acquisition

On October 1, 2016, Summit completed its acquisition of Highland County Bankshares, Inc. (“HCB”) and its subsidiary, First & Citizens Bank, headquartered in Monterey, Virginia. Accordingly, HCB’s results of operations are included in Summit’s consolidated results of operation from the date of acquisition, and therefore Summit’s first quarter 2017 results reflect increased levels of average balances, income and expense as compared to its first quarter 2016 results.

At consummation, HCB had total assets of $122.8 million, loans of $60.8 million, and deposits of $106.9 million. Had the HCB acquisition taken place on January 1, 2016, Summit’s pro forma combined total revenues, net income and diluted earnings per share would have approximated $16.0 million, $4.5 million and $0.42, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Summit recognized net accretion income totaling $144,000 in Q1 2017 related to HCB’s loan fair value acquisition accounting adjustments.

Results from Operations

Total revenue for first quarter 2017, consisting of net interest income and noninterest income, increased 11.1 percent to $16.2 million, principally as result of the HCB acquisition, compared to $14.6 million for the first quarter 2016, and was relatively unchanged compared to the linked quarter.

For the first quarter of 2017, net interest income was $13.6 million, an increase of 15.7 percent from the $11.8 million reported in the prior-year first quarter and an increase of $173,000 compared to the linked quarter. The net interest margin for first quarter 2017 was 3.54 percent compared to 3.34 percent for the year-ago quarter, and 3.50 percent for the linked quarter.

Noninterest income, consisting primarily of insurance commissions from Summit’s insurance agency subsidiary and service fee income from community banking activities, for first quarter 2017 was $2.58 million compared to $2.81 million for the comparable period of 2016 and $3.00 million for Q4 2016. Excluding realized securities gains and losses, noninterest income was $2.64 million for first quarter 2017 compared to $2.41 million reported for first quarter 2016 and $2.71 million for the linked quarter.

We recorded a $250,000 provision for loan losses during first quarters 2017 and 2016.

Excluding the impact of the $9.9 million charge to settle the ResCap litigation, noninterest expense for Q1 2017 increased 6.6 percent to $9.12 million compared to $8.55 million for the prior-year first quarter, principally due to the acquisition of HCB; but it declined 2.9 percent compared to the linked quarter’s noninterest expense of $9.39 million due to operational efficiencies achieved relative to the former HCB’s banking operations.

Balance Sheet

At March 31, 2017, total assets were $1.78 billion, an increase of $17.8 million, or 1.0 percent since December 31, 2016. Total loans, net of unearned fees and allowance for loan losses, were $1.29 billion at March 31, 2017, down $14.9 million, or 1.1 percent, from the $1.31 billion reported at year-end 2016. Excluding mortgage warehouse lines of credit, net loans increased $40.8 million or 12.5 percent (annualized) since year-end 2016.

At March 31, 2017, deposits were $1.30 billion, an increase of $5.7 million, or 0.4 percent, since year end 2016. During Q1 2017, checking deposits and savings deposits increased by $15.4 million or 3.7 percent and $5.2 million, or 1.5 percent while time deposits declined $14.9 million or 2.7 percent.

Shareholders’ equity was $153.6 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to $155.4 million December 31, 2016. Tangible book value per common share decreased to $13.03 at March 31, 2017 compared to $13.20 at December 31, 2016. Summit had 10,750,477 outstanding common shares at Q1 2017 quarter end compared to 10,736,970 at year end 2016.

Asset Quality

As of March 31, 2017, nonperforming assets (“NPAs”), consisting of nonperforming loans, foreclosed properties, and repossessed assets, were $38.4 million, or 2.16 percent of assets. This compares to $39.1 million, or 2.22 percent of assets at the linked quarter, and $40.1 million, or 2.66 percent of assets, at first quarter 2016.

First quarter 2017 net loan charge-offs were $207,000, or 0.06 percent of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to net loan charge-offs of $407,000 for the first quarter of 2016. The allowance for loan losses stood at $11.7 million, or 0.90 percent of total loans at March 31, 2017, compared to 0.88 percent at year-end 2016.
