Berkshire Hills Reports Third Quarter Earnings; Dividend Declared

PITTSFIELD, Mass., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: BHLB) reported third quarter 2017 net income of $22.9 million, or $0.57 per share and core earnings of $23.6 million, or $0.59 per share.  Net income was up 40% year-over-year, while core earnings grew 35% due to the benefit of business expansion.  Net income per share increased by 8%, while core EPS increased by 4%.  Net income was impacted by net non-core charges related primarily to acquisitions.  Core earnings related measures are non-GAAP measures that exclude these charges and other non-ordinary items.

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

  • 9% annualized increase in commercial and industrial loans
  • 14% annualized increase in demand deposit accounts
  • 4% increase in net interest income
  • 3.36% net interest margin
  • 59.3% efficiency ratio
  • 0.95% GAAP ROA; 0.98% Core ROA
  • 0.23% non-performing assets/assets
  • 0.19%  net loan charge-offs/average loans

CEO Michael Daly stated, "Earnings advanced again in the third quarter and our return on assets continued to climb as our expanded teams generated solid volumes across our business lines.  We fully absorbed the 7% linked quarter increase in average shares while also increasing our bottom line per share results.  I'm proud of the work of our teams in serving more customers, as represented by our 31% year-over-year revenue growth."

"Our recent initiatives are transforming our company.  Last week, we completed our acquisition of Worcester-based Commerce Bank.  This acquisition has propelled us to approximately $11.6 billion in total assets, filling in our franchise across the length of Massachusetts, and moving us strategically over the $10 billion asset mark.  We've gained the leading deposit share in New England's second largest city, and further cemented our position in the high growth Eastern Massachusetts market."

Mr. Daly concluded, "This month we also announced our new corporate headquarters location at 60 State Street in the heart of Boston, and brought on board several Boston area senior bankers to service the commercial, retail, and private banking markets, including the four Boston area branches that we presently operate.  We are bringing our revolutionary brand of banking to Boston and look forward to the many business opportunities that we have in the nation's ninth largest metropolitan economy."

DIVIDEND DECLARED

The Board of Directors voted to declare a cash dividend of $0.21 per common share to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2017, payable on November 22, 2017.  The dividend equates to a 2.4% annualized yield based on the $35.26 average closing price of Berkshire Hills Bancorp common stock during the quarter.  Effective on the same dates, the Board also declared a dividend of $0.42 per share for preferred stock issued in conjunction with the Commerce acquisition.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets measured $9.8 billion at September 30, 2017, increasing at a 9% annualized rate in the first nine months of the year.  The 8% annualized loan growth for the year-to-date was driven by solid growth in all major loan categories, including a 9% annualized increase in commercial loans.  Average loan yields increased in each successive quarter and included the benefit of higher short term interest rates.  Deposit growth was 3% annualized over this period.  The Commerce acquisition provides additional deposit funding sources, while adding to liquidity.  Book value per share increased by 4% to $31.78 for the year-to-date, while tangible book value per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) grew by 14% to $21.38.  Delinquent and non-accruing loans decreased to 0.74% of total loans, and quarterly annualized net loan charge-offs declined to 0.19% of average loans. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The growth in earnings and earnings per share included first year results for the First Choice operations acquired at the end of 2016, along with the full period benefit of other 2016 acquisitions.   Most measures of revenue and expense increased year-over-year due to these business combinations.  Per share earnings included the impact of shares issued as merger consideration and in the May 2017 stock offering.  Non-core charges in 2017 were mostly merger related, including First Choice and Commerce.  Non-core activity in the first half of the year also included a loss on the termination of hedges and restructuring and other expense.

Compared to the prior quarter, third quarter net interest income increased by $2.5 million, or 4%, due to higher average balances.  The third quarter net interest margin remained stable at 3.36% compared to the prior quarter and is up from 3.27% year-over-year, including the benefit of higher short term interest rates and higher purchased loan accretion.  Total revenue decreased quarter-over-quarter due primarily to lower mortgage banking revenue, including changes related to seasonal and weather related impacts.

Third quarter non-interest expense decreased by 5% quarter-over-quarter, and the efficiency ratio improved to 59.3%.  Mortgage banking expenses were reduced in line with related revenue.  The Company also benefited from the integration of First Choice operations, as well as lower merger related costs.  Full time equivalent staff totaled 1,788 positions at the end of the third quarter compared to 1,731 at the start of the year, reflecting growth and infrastructure investment.  The third quarter effective income tax rate was 24% and included the benefit of tax credit investments related primarily to historic rehabilitation for residential housing.  These investments contributed $0.01 to EPS in each quarter this year.

BACKGROUND

Berkshire Hills Bancorp is the parent of Berkshire Bank - America's Most Exciting Bank®.  Including the acquired Commerce operations, Berkshire has approximately $11.6 billion in assets and 113 full service branches in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania providing personal and business banking, insurance, and wealth management services. The Company also offers mortgages and specialized commercial lending services in targeted national markets.

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 primarily include securities gains/losses, merger costs, and restructuring costs.  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, financial planning assets, and Commerce.  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.  Additionally, the Company recorded charges for hedge terminations in the first quarter of 2017 and legal settlement costs during the year. 

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.  Of note, following systems upgrades, non-material revisions were made in the first quarter of 2017 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) 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.
