Washington Banking Company Earns $4.5 Million, or $0.29 per Share, in 3Q13 Fueled by Solid Loan and Core Deposit Growth


OAK HARBOR, Wash., Oct. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Washington Banking Company (Nasdaq:WBCO), the holding company for Whidbey Island Bank, today reported it earned $4.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted share in the third quarter, up from $2.9 million or $0.19 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter and down from $4.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, Washington Banking earned $12.0 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to $12.3 million, or $0.79 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2012.

"Our lending team continues to execute well, generating solid loan growth across the franchise," said Jack Wagner, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The loan portfolio grew 2% in the quarter and 6% year-over-year, and our pipeline of loans likely to close in the next 90 days remains very strong.

"This year we entered the Northeast King County market, opening an office in Woodinville, which is bringing early success. We have applied to open a new branch in Issaquah, in support of our new commercial team there. This new office and team extends our footprint further south and east into the vibrant growing Eastside market," Wagner noted. "The new commercial team is in place and we expect to open the new branch at the end of the year."

"Our general business outlook continues to reflect the economic recovery in the region," said Bryan McDonald, Whidbey Island Bank's President and CEO. "Loan demand is improving and our pipeline of activity remains strong. During the third quarter, we closed $66.3 million in new commercial loans, renewed or extended $80.4 million in existing commercial loans and funded $38.4 million in residential mortgages, for both refinance and purchase transactions. Residential refinancing is down from the accelerated pace of the last few years. With property values improving and interest rates still at very affordable levels, we continue to see moderate refinance activity, as well as steady demand from families purchasing new homes. In addition, the budget crisis in the other Washington temporarily interrupted the funding of SBA loans. We continued to take and process SBA applications, but were not able to close these loans while the government was shutdown. Now that government employees are back to work, we can complete the process for our small business customers."

Third quarter loan production contributed to 2% non-covered loan growth in the quarter and 6% growth year-over-year. For the first nine months of 2013, average loans increased 5% to $868.7 million from $831.3 million a year ago. Mortgage banking income contributed $726,000 to third quarter revenues, down from $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.1 million in the third quarter a year ago.

Third Quarter 2013 Financial Highlights (as of, or for the period ended September 30, 2013)

  • With the exception of construction, all loan categories increased for both the quarter and the year.
  • Asset quality continues to improve with the ratio of nonperforming non-covered assets (NPAs) to total assets dropping to 0.89% from 0.96% in the second quarter and 1.29% a year ago. Classified loans declined to $68.6 million at September 30, 2013, from $78.2 million at September 30, 2012.
  • Tangible book value per common share was $11.34, compared to $11.31 a year ago.
  • Low-cost demand, money market, savings and NOW accounts were $1.05 billion, or 73% of total deposits.

  • In the third quarter, the net interest margin fell 9 basis points to 4.59% compared to 4.68% in the preceding quarter, and fell 89 basis points from 5.48% in the year ago quarter, reflecting declines in both the yields and balances of covered loans.

Regional Economic Update

"The Washington State economy continues to perform better than the national averages with statewide unemployment dropping to 6.8% in August and 5.2% for the greater Seattle/Bellevue/Everett area," said Wagner. "In August, the unemployment rate continued to be better than average in most of our markets, with Snohomish County at 6.2%, Whatcom County at 6.5%, Island County at 7.1% and Skagit County at 7.7%. On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, estimates for August 2012 to August 2013 indicate an increase in employment of 66,800 for the state. Over the year the private sector added 64,600 jobs while the public sector gained an estimated 2,200 jobs. "Retail sales are definitely on the rebound, with the Puget Sound Economic Forecaster predicting nominal retail sales will be up 8.7% in 2013, fueled by a 33% increase in construction spending," added Wagner.

Credit Quality

"Our non-covered loan portfolio continues to perform well with overall asset quality improving during the third quarter. Total nonperforming assets fell 33% from a year ago," said Dan Kuenzi, Chief Credit Officer. "Residential construction projects account for more than one-third of nonperforming assets, with about half of those loans located in Whatcom County. Foreclosed properties account for almost one-third of NPAs, as we move delinquent loans through the collection process."

Nonperforming, non-covered loans (NPL) decreased during the third quarter to $9.9 million from $10.9 million in the second quarter and from $17.6 million in the year ago quarter, with residential construction loans accounting for 38% of nonperforming assets. The ratio of NPLs/total non-covered loans improved to 1.14% at September 30, 2013, from 1.27% at the end of the second quarter and 2.14% a year ago. Nonperforming, non-covered assets (NPA)/total assets improved to 0.89% compared to 0.96% in the preceding quarter and 1.29% a year ago. Non-covered other real estate owned (OREO) was $4.7 million, even with the preceding quarter and up slightly from $4.1 million a year ago.

The provision for non-covered loan losses was $525,000 in the third quarter, compared to $850,000 in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.3 million in the third quarter a year ago. The allowance for non-covered loan losses totaled $16.9 million, or 1.94% of non-covered loans. Total net charge-offs in the third quarter were $550,000, or 0.25% of average total loans on an annualized basis, compared to $809,000, or 0.38% of average loans in the preceding quarter and $2.2 million, or 1.09% of average loans, in the third quarter a year ago.

Balance Sheet

Total assets were $1.65 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $1.62 billion in the preceding quarter and $1.68 billion a year ago. Total net non-covered loans increased 2% to $855.7 million compared to $836.3 million at June 30, 2013, and were up 6% from $808.0 million at September 30, 2012.

The non-covered loan portfolio is well diversified with commercial and industrial loans making up 19.8% and residential mortgages accounting for 4.6% of the portfolio. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans represent 27.4% of the portfolio and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans account for 23.7% of loans. Indirect consumer loans account for 9.0% of the portfolio and other consumer loans account for 9.3%. Construction and land development loans for residential properties were 4.1% and commercial construction and land development loans represent 1.8% of the portfolio.

As resolution of the covered portfolio progresses, net covered loans totaled $156.4 million and covered OREO totaled $4.1 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $176.7 million and $12.9 million, respectively, three months earlier.

The mix of total deposits continued to improve with non-CD deposits increasing to 73.3% of total deposits from 67.6% a year ago. The level of total deposits was up 2% to $1.43 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $1.40 billion at the end of the second quarter. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased 10% in the quarter and 7% year-over-year, representing 18.8% of total deposits. Year-over-year, NOW accounts increased 9% to $361.2 million, comprising 25.3% of deposits and time deposits declined 19% to $381.0 million and accounted for 26.7% of total deposits. Core deposits, excluding time deposits over $100,000, represented 88.2% of all deposits.

Tangible shareholder equity totaled $176.1 million, or $11.34 per share, at September 30, 2013, compared to $174.8 million, or $11.30 per share, a year ago.

Operating Results

In the third quarter of 2013, net interest income decreased 1% to $17.1 million from the linked quarter of $17.4 million, and declined 17% from $20.6 million a year ago. The majority of the decline came from the resolution of the covered loan portfolio and a change in the yield on covered loans to 13.29% in the third quarter of 2013 from 12.67% in the second quarter and 15.14% in the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2013, net interest income fell 16% to $52.7 million from $62.7 million in the first nine months of 2012.

"The complexities of the FDIC-assisted accounting items on the income statement were much less noisy this quarter than last quarter," said Rick Shields, Chief Financial Officer. "In the second quarter, we adjusted the forecast of expected cash flows of covered loans, which prompted additional provisions for these loans, particularly in the hospitality sector. For the first nine months of the year, these adjustments reduced earnings by $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share." The following table reflects the adjustments on the income statement for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012:

Excluding the change in the FDIC indemnification asset, noninterest income in the third quarter totaled $4.2 million and was $4.2 million in the previous quarter and $4.1 million in the year ago quarter. In the first nine months of 2013, noninterest income excluding the change in the FDIC indemnification asset was $12.9 million compared to $12.5 million in the first nine months of 2012.

Washington Banking's net interest margin decreased 9 basis points from the preceding quarter to 4.59% from 4.68% and fell 89 basis points from 5.48% in the year ago quarter. For the first nine months of 2013, the net interest margin dropped 94 basis points to 4.71% from 5.65% in the first nine months of 2012. "As anticipated, as we reduce the size of the covered loan portfolio, its generous contribution to margin is diminishing," Shields noted.

Operating expenses were up 1% in the quarter and down 4% year over year. For the first nine months of 2013, operating expenses were down 6% to $39.9 million from $42.4 million a year ago. 

In a separate release today, Washington Banking announced it will pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.145 per common share. "In keeping with our two-tiered approach in determining our dividend payouts each quarter, we are paying our basic dividend of seven cents plus seven and a half cents per share in the variable dividend, which results in the total dividend at 50% of earnings," Wagner noted. "Our board will continue to evaluate dividends each quarter based on capital requirements, market opportunities and other operating considerations."

(1) Fully tax-equivalent is a non-GAAP performance measurement that management believes provides investors with a more accurate picture of the net interest margin, revenue and efficiency ratio for comparative purposes. The calculation involves grossing up interest income on tax-exempt loans and investments by an amount that makes it comparable to taxable income. Please see reconciliation to GAAP measure that appears elsewhere in this release.
(2) Please see the reconciliations to GAAP measures that appear elsewhere in this release. Tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to total tangible assets are non-GAAP performance measurements that management believes provide a more accurate picture of equity.
(3) Capital ratios for the most recent period are an estimate pending filing of the Company's regulatory reports.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures          
 
Fully tax-equivalent net interest income and fully tax-equivalent net interest margin are non-GAAP performance measurements that management believes provides investors with a more accurate picture of the Company's operational performance and is consistent with industry practice. The calculation involves grossing up interest income on tax-exempt loans and investments by an amount that makes it comparable to taxable income. 
 
The following table provides the reconciliation of the Company's net interest income and net interest margin (GAAP) to a fully tax-equivalent net interest income and fully tax-equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) for the periods presented:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures          
 
Tangible common equity, tangible assets and tangible book value per common share are not measures that are calculated in accordance with GAAP. However, management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are an important indication of the Company's ability to grow both organically and through business combinations, and, with respect to tangible common equity, the Company's ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies. 
 
Neither tangible common equity, tangible assets or tangible book value per common share should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for common shareholders' equity or book value per common share or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Company calculates tangible common equity, tangible assets and tangible book value per share may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
