Berkshire Hills Reports Record Annual Earnings; Dividend Increased

PITTSFIELD, Mass., Jan. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: BHLB) reported record earnings of $59 million in 2016, an increase of 18% over the prior year.  Earnings grew due to positive operating leverage from business expansion and improved efficiency.  Fourth quarter 2016 results included the operations of First Choice Bank from the date of its acquisition on December 2. 

Fourth quarter 2016 GAAP earnings per share totaled $0.32 and were net of non-core charges (after-tax) totaling $0.24 per share, which were primarily related to merger- related costs.  Core earnings per share totaled $0.56 during the quarter.  Core earnings is a non-GAAP measure excluding non-core items viewed as not related to normalized operations.  EPS results included the impact of 4.4 million shares issued as merger consideration to First Choice Bank shareholders.

FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (comparisons are to prior quarter unless otherwise stated). 

  • $9.2 billion in total period-end assets, including $1.1 billion added with the First Choice acquisition
    • 8% increase in total loans
    • 15% increase in total deposits
    • 17% increase in equity
  • 9% increase in fee income
  • 0.24% non-performing assets/assets
  • 0.21% net loan charge-offs/average loans

CEO Michael Daly stated, "The final quarter of the year was very strong and included the addition of $1.1 billion in assets from the acquisition of First Choice Bank in the Princeton, New Jersey area on December 2.  This acquisition was completed on time and on plan, and positions Berkshire for higher revenue and earnings in 2017.  Ongoing business activity remained solid.  Our fourth quarter momentum contributed to a year of record earnings."  

Mr. Daly continued, "Berkshire is entering 2017 well-positioned for the expanded business opportunities before us. We continue to pursue our goals of enhancing profitability and strengthening our franchise.  Our announcement of a 5% dividend increase at this time reflects our positive outlook for future operations.  We improved our balance sheet fundamentals and overall infrastructure and controls in 2016. This supports current operations and provides a strong foundation to support future opportunities."

DIVIDEND INCREASED

The Board of Directors voted to increase the quarterly cash dividend by 5% to $0.21 per share, effective with the next payment to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 16, 2017 and payable on March 2, 2017.  The dividend equates to a 2.6% annualized yield based on the $32.16 average closing price of Berkshire's common stock during the fourth quarter of 2016.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased in the most recent quarter by $1.2 billion, or 16%, to $9.2 billion including $1.1 billion in assets related to the acquisition of First Choice Bank.  Most categories of assets and liabilities increased as a result of the merger, including 8% loan growth and 15% deposit growth.  Excluding acquired First Choice loans, organic loan growth was 5% annualized for the quarter and was spread among most major loan categories, including 17% in commercial and industrial loans.  The Company adjusted its loan and deposit mix strategies during the quarter while integrating the acquired First Choice balances.  Organic growth of transaction accounts measured 7% for the quarter.  The organic decrease in total deposits included the planned run-off of certain higher costing First Choice balances after the merger date.  With the benefit of the acquired First Choice deposits, the ratio of loans/deposits improved to 99% at year-end.  The ratio of equity/assets improved to 11.9% and the ratio of tangible equity/assets remained unchanged at 7.7%.  Book value per share increased to $30.65 and tangible book value per share increased to $18.81.  Tangible equity/assets and tangible book value are non-GAAP financial measures.  Including the impact of purchase accounting, the ratio of problem assets/assets improved to 0.24% and the ratio of charge-offs to average loans improved to 0.21% for the quarter. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GAAP earnings decreased in the most recent quarter compared to the linked quarter and the fourth quarter of the prior year due primarily to the merger-related charges recorded for the First Choice acquisition.  GAAP earnings per share were $0.32 in the most recent quarter.  Core earnings measured $0.56 per share.  Total revenue and expense included the impact of the acquired First Choice operations beginning on December 2.  Most categories of revenue and expense increased including these acquired operations.

Fourth quarter net interest income increased by 2% over the prior quarter. The fourth quarter 2016 net interest margin measured 3.19%.   Purchased loan accretion totaled $1.9 million in the most recent quarter, compared to $2.2 million in the prior quarter.  Excluding the impact of purchased loan accretion, the margin measured 3.09% compared to 3.13% in the prior quarter.  The change in the margin included the impact of the lower margin First Choice balances.  

Total fee income increased by 9% compared to the prior quarter.  Non-interest income is net of charges for the amortization of tax credit related investments.  These charges totaled $4.4 million in the most recent quarter, compared to $1.5 million in the prior quarter.  These charges are more than offset by credits to net income tax expense.  Tax credit related investments contributed $0.02 in net earnings per share in the fourth quarter, compared to $0.01 in the prior quarter and $0.04 in the fourth quarter of 2015. 

Fourth quarter non-interest expense increased over the prior quarter due primarily to the non-core charges related to the First Choice Bank acquisition.  Merger and restructuring charges totaled $11.6 million and $2.2 million in these two periods respectively.  Non-core expense is a non-GAAP measure that excludes costs not viewed as related to normalized operations.  Core non-interest expense increased by 5% between these two periods including the new First Choice operations.  Full time equivalent staff increased to 1,731 positions at quarter-end, compared to 1,208 positions at the start of the quarter, including 505 positions added with the First Choice operations.   The efficiency ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) increased to 59.1% due to the change in business mix with First Choice operations.  The effective tax rate decreased to 3% due to the lower pretax income resulting from the merger charges.  The effective tax rate on core income decreased to 21% in the most recent quarter from 30% in the prior quarter due to additional tax credit related investments that became operational during the period.

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 pages F-9 and F-10 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 combinations: First Choice Bank, 44 Business Capital, Hampden Bancorp, and Firestone Financial.   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. The Company's disclosures of organic growth of loans and deposits in 2016 are adjusted for the business combinations with 44 Business Capital and First Choice Bank.

(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) 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.










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