Berkshire Hills Reports First Quarter Earnings; Dividend Declared

PITTSFIELD, Mass., April 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: BHLB) reported first quarter 2017 earnings of $15.5 million, or 44 cents per share.  Core earnings totaled $19.4 million, or $0.55 per share.  Net income increased by 50% over the prior quarter and core earnings increased by 8% including the first full quarter benefit of the acquired First Choice operations.  Non-core after-tax merger charges totaled $0.12 per share for the quarter. 

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (comparisons are to prior quarter unless otherwise stated): 

  • 34% increase in total net revenue
  • 46% increase in fee income
  • 15% annualized commercial loan growth
  • 6% annualized total loan growth
  • 2% annualized deposit growth
  • 3.33% net interest margin, increased from 3.21% in the prior quarter
  • 0.27% non-performing assets/assets
  • 0.20% net loan charge-offs/average loans

CEO Michael Daly stated, "Berkshire is off to a strong start for the year, having delivered double-digit commercial loan growth, an expanded NIM, and a successful systems integration of First Choice on time and on plan. The First Choice operations drove our revenue gains while organic business development contributed to balance sheet growth. We opened our first Boston branch which will support our growing commercial business in Greater Boston. During the quarter we completed the consolidation of three branches and identified a fourth branch, along with other leasehold reductions, for further consolidation. We remain focused on delivering on the disciplined expansion of our business model. Across our regions, our teams have solid momentum for business growth and profitability improvement in 2017."

DIVIDEND DECLARED

The Board of Directors voted to declare a cash dividend of $0.21 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 11, 2017, payable on May 25, 2017.  The dividend equates to a 2.4% annualized yield based on the $35.38 average closing price of Berkshire Hills Bancorp common stock during the quarter.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets measured $9.3 billion at March 31, 2017. The 6% annualized loan growth was concentrated in 15% annualized commercial loan growth.  The largest gain was in commercial and industrial loans, which benefited from improved activity across several regions.  Deposit growth was concentrated in time account growth, providing additional protection in the event of further interest rate increases, while transaction account balances decreased seasonally.  Berkshire terminated its $300 million in fixed rate interest rate swaps during the quarter in conjunction with the integration of acquired First Choice Bank assets and liabilities.  The Company continues to maintain a modestly asset sensitive profile for net interest income.    

At quarter-end, the ratio of loans/deposits stood at 100%.   The ratio of equity/assets was 11.8% and the ratio of tangible equity/assets was 7.6%.  At quarter-end, book value per share increased to $30.77 and tangible book value per share increased to $18.97.  Tangible equity/assets and tangible book value are non-GAAP financial measures. Delinquent and non-accruing loans decreased to 0.78% of total loans, and annualized net loan charge-offs decreased to 0.20% of average loans during the quarter. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The 50% increase in GAAP earnings and 8% increase in core earnings compared to the prior quarter primarily reflected the impact of the acquired First Choice operations.  Per share results included the impact of the 4.4 million shares issued as merger consideration.  GAAP earnings per share increased by $0.12 to $0.44, while core earnings per share decreased by $0.01 to $0.55.  The First Choice acquisition is targeted to be accretive to earnings per share after integration is completed including targeted cost saves from combined efficiencies.  During the most recent quarter, the GAAP return on assets measured 0.68% and core return on assets measured 0.85%.

Core earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure excluding non-core items viewed as not related to normalized operations.  The $0.11 difference between core and GAAP EPS in the first quarter included $0.12 per share in after-tax merger related charges.  Other net non-core gains/losses and expense restructuring items were mostly offsetting.  Non-core gains of $13 million were realized on the sale of equity securities, and were offset by a $7 million loss recorded on the termination of the interest rate swaps and $6 million in other non-core costs primarily related to restructuring charges. 

Most categories of revenue and expense increased over the prior quarter due to the full period impact of the First Choice acquisition.   Total revenue increased by 34% and core revenue increased by 26%.  The first quarter 2017 net interest margin increased to 3.33% and measured 3.15% excluding purchased loan accretion.  The comparable measures in the prior quarter were 3.21% and 3.11%, respectively.   The improvement in the margin included the benefit of the December rate hike and a decrease in funding costs following the First Choice acquisition.  Fee income increased to 30% of total interest and fee revenue from 25% in the prior quarter, including the benefit of the acquired First Choice mortgage origination operations.    

First quarter non-interest expense increased by 22% over the prior quarter including the costs of newly acquired operations, while core non-interest expense increased by 27%.  The efficiency ratio measured 62%, compared to 58% in the prior quarter, reflecting the lower operating margin associated with mortgage originations.   Full time equivalent staff totaled 1,728 positions at quarter-end, compared to 1,731 at the start of the year.  

The effective GAAP income tax rate was 30% and the core income tax rate was 31% in the most recent quarter.  The Company received $0.01 per share in net earnings benefit from its investment in tax credit related projects during the quarter, compared to $0.02 in the prior quarter.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are several factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from expectations described in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of such factors, please see Berkshire's most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Berkshire does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").  These non-GAAP measures provide supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition.  They are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is included on page F-9 in the accompanying financial tables.  In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP per share measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. 

The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of core earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for core revenue and expense.  These measures exclude items which the Company does not view as related to its normalized operations.  These items include securities gains/losses, merger costs, restructuring costs, and systems conversion costs.  Non-core adjustments are presented net of an adjustment for income tax expense.  This adjustment is determined as the difference between the GAAP tax rate and the effective tax rate applicable to core income.  The efficiency ratio is adjusted for non-core revenue and expense items and for tax preference items.  The Company also calculates measures related to tangible equity, which adjust equity (and assets where applicable) to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community.  Charges related to merger and acquisition activity consist primarily of severance/benefit related expenses, contract termination costs, systems conversion costs, variable compensation expenses, and professional fees.  These charges are related to the following business 2016 combinations: First Choice Bank, 44 Business Capital, and RNLPC.  Restructuring costs generally consist of costs and losses associated with the disposition of assets and liabilities and lease terminations, including costs related to branch sales.  Non-core items recorded in the first quarter of 2017 included gains realized on the sale of equity securities and costs related to the termination of the Company's interest rate swaps.  Of note, following systems upgrades, non-material revisions were made to the calculations of the net interest margin and efficiency ratio and prior period measures were revised to include these changes.

(1) Total tangible shareholders' equity is computed by taking total shareholders' equity less the intangible assets at period-end. 





      Total tangible assets is computed by taking total assets less the intangible assets at period-end.  








(2) Ratios are annualized and based on average balance sheet amounts, where applicable. Quarterly data may not sum to year-to-date data due 



      to rounding.












(3) Core return on tangible equity is computed by dividing the total core income adjusted for the tax-effected amortization of intangible assets,



      assuming a 40% marginal rate, by tangible equity.












(4) Non-GAAP financial measure.












(5) Efficiency ratio is computed by dividing total core tangible non-interest expense by the sum of total net interest income on a fully 




      taxable equivalent basis and total core non-interest income adjusted to include tax credit benefit of tax shelter investments.  The  




      Company uses this non-GAAP measure to provide important information regarding its operational efficiency.







(6) Revisions were made to the calculations of the net interest margin, efficiency ratio, and yields for the interest annualization and the fully




      taxable equivalent calculations. Prior period measures were revised to include these changes.









(7) The tax benefit is the direct reduction to the income tax provision due to tax credits and deductions generated from investments in historic  



      rehabilitation, low-income housing, new market projects, and renewable energy projects.










(8) The non-interest income charge is the reduction to the tax-advantaged investments, which are incurred as the tax credits are generated.
