Net Income Increases 18% and Dividend Increases 16%


WARSAW, Ind., April 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lakeland Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:LKFN), parent company of Lake City Bank, today reported record first quarter net income of $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, an increase of 18% versus $12.3 million for the first quarter of 2016.  Diluted net income per common share increased 19% to $0.57 for the first quarter of 2017, versus $0.48 for the first quarter of 2016, representing a record quarter for the company and its shareholders. On a linked quarter basis net income increased 7% or $992,000 from the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016, which had net income of $13.5 million and $0.53 diluted net income per common share. All share and per share data presented in this press release has been adjusted for a 3-for-2 stock split paid in the form of a stock dividend on August 5, 2016.

David M. Findlay, President and CEO commented, “Our record first quarter performance reflects our continued focus on growing relationships. The Lake City Bank team’s efforts to expand market share across all business units contributed to a very good first quarter.”

Highlights for the quarter are noted below:

1st Quarter 2017 versus 1st Quarter 2016 highlights:

  • Organic average loan growth of $420 million or 14%
  • Average deposit growth of $406 million or 13%
  • Net interest income increase of $3.5 million or 12%
  • Revenue growth of $4.7 million or 13%
  • Continued strong asset quality with nonperforming assets to total assets at 0.28% compared to 0.21%
  • Tangible common equity1 increase of 7%

1st Quarter 2017 versus 4th Quarter 2016 highlights:

  • Organic average loan growth of $135 million or 4%
  • Net interest income increase of $1.2 million or 4%
  • Net interest margin increase of 9 basis points to 3.27%

As previously announced, the board of directors approved a cash dividend for the first quarter of $0.22 per share, payable on May 5, 2017, to shareholders of record as of April 25, 2017. The first quarter dividend per share represents a 16% increase over the dividend rate paid in the last three quarters of 2016 and in the first quarter of 2017 of $0.19 per share.

Findlay added, “Our double digit loan and deposit growth continues to drive our net income performance.  These levels of strong profitability contribute to a robust capital base and support the healthy 16% increase to our shareholder dividend.”

Return on average total equity for the first quarter of 2017 was 13.63%, compared to 12.35% in the first quarter of 2016 and 12.55% in the linked fourth quarter of 2016. Return on average assets for the first quarter of 2017 was 1.37%, compared to 1.30% in the first quarter of 2016 and 1.28% in the linked fourth quarter of 2016. The company’s total capital as a percent of risk-weighted assets was 13.16% at March 31, 2017, compared to 13.85% at March 31, 2016 and 13.23% at December 31, 2016. The company’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio1 was 10.06% at March 31, 2017, compared to 10.61% at March 31, 2016 and 9.89% at December 31, 2016.

Average total loans for the first quarter of 2017 were $3.51 billion, an increase of $419.8 million, or 14%, versus $3.09 billion for the first quarter 2016. Total loans outstanding grew $419.0 million, or 13%, from $3.11 billion as of March 31, 2016 to $3.53 billion as of March 31, 2017. On a linked quarter basis, total loans grew $61.4 million, or 2%, from $3.47 billion at December 31, 2016.

Average total deposits for the first quarter of 2017 were $3.64 billion, an increase of $405.9 million, or 13%, versus $3.23 billion for the first quarter of 2016. Total deposits grew $428.7 million, or 13%, from $3.25 billion as of March 31, 2016 to $3.68 billion as of March 31, 2017. In addition, total core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits, increased $413.2 million, or 13%, from $3.13 billion at March 31, 2016 to $3.54 billion at March 31, 2017. The year over year core deposit growth was generated by public funds deposit, commercial deposit and retail deposit growth in the amount of $220.1 million, $107.2 million and $85.9 million, respectively.

The company’s net interest margin increased two basis points to 3.27% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 3.25% for the first quarter of 2016. The higher margin in the first quarter of 2017 was due to higher yields on loans, partially offset by a higher cost of funds. In addition, during the first quarter of 2016, the company received $230,000 of investment security income from the early prepayment of one security in the investment portfolio, resulting in a 3 basis point benefit to first quarter 2016 net interest margin. On a linked quarter basis, the net interest margin improved by 9 basis points from 3.18% in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to the positive impact of the Federal Reserve Bank increases in the target Federal Funds Rate in mid-December 2016, and mid-March 2017.  Net interest income increased $3.5 million, or 12%, to $32.1 million for the first quarter of 2017, versus $28.6 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Findlay observed, “The December 2016 and March 2017 rate increases by the Federal Reserve Bank positively impacted our net interest margin and further contributed to growth in net interest income. Our balance sheet is well positioned for a rising interest rate environment.”

The company recorded a provision for loan losses of $200,000 in the first quarter of 2017, primarily driven by the growth in the loan portfolio. The company’s allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2017 was $43.8 million compared to $43.3 million as of March 31, 2016 and $43.7 million as of December 31, 2016. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.24% of total loans as of March 31, 2017 versus 1.39% at March 31, 2016 and 1.26% as of December 31, 2016.

Nonperforming assets increased $4.1 million, or 53%, to $12.0 million as of March 31, 2017 versus $7.8 million as of March 31, 2016. On a linked quarter basis, nonperforming assets were $5.1 million higher than the $6.9 million reported as of December 31, 2016. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to two commercial relationships being placed in nonaccrual status, as well as one accruing commercial relationship becoming more than 90 days delinquent. One of the nonaccrual relationships is with a financial services firm and the second is with a manufacturer.  The relationship that is 90 days past due is a loan to a real estate holding company that owns golf courses. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets at March 31, 2017 increased to 0.28% from 0.21% at March 31, 2016 and 0.16% at December 31, 2016. Net charge-offs to average loans were 0.02% for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 0.04% for the first quarter of 2016 and 0.03% for the fourth quarter of 2016. Net charge-offs totaled $144,000 in the first quarter of 2017 versus net charge-offs of $326,000 during the first quarter of 2016 and net charge-offs of $285,000 during the linked fourth quarter of 2016.

The company’s noninterest income increased $1.2 million or 17% to $8.3 million for the first quarter of 2017 versus $7.0 million for the first quarter of 2016. Noninterest income was positively impacted by a $363,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts primarily due to growth in fees from business accounts. Bank owned life insurance income increased $298,000 from first quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to increased revenue from variable life insurance contracts owned by the company. In addition, other income increased $581,000 compared to the first quarter of 2016.  During the first quarter of 2016, other income was negatively impacted by credit valuation adjustment losses related to the company’s swap arrangements, which account for $295,000 of the increase in other income from the first quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2017. In addition, a write down in the first quarter of 2016 of $226,000 to a property formerly used as a Lake City Bank branch negatively impacted other income in 2016. Noninterest income was negatively impacted by a decrease of $196,000 in mortgage banking income resulting from lower mortgage loan originations during the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the prior year period.

The company’s noninterest expense increased by $2.7 million or 15% to $20.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2016. Salaries and employee benefits increased by 19% or $1.8 million primarily due to higher performance incentive-based compensation costs, increased health insurance cost, normal merit increases and staff additions related to the company’s branch expansion. The company’s medical insurance plan is in a group trust that includes a number of Indiana banks. Member banks received premium holidays on their health insurance premiums during the first quarters of 2017 and 2016. However, the premium holiday of approximately $344,000 for 2017 represented one month of health insurance premiums which was less than the $895,000 of premium holiday received in 2016. Corporate and business development expense increased by $645,000, primarily due to first quarter 2017 community support and donation expense of $350,000. Corporate and business development expense was also impacted by higher investment in advertising expenses, which increased by $295,000 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Increased advertising expense related to multi-media campaigns in the markets the company serves. The company's efficiency ratio was 49.7% for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 48.8% for the first quarter of 2016 and 46.4% for the linked fourth quarter of 2016.

Findlay added, “We are pleased to continue our footprint expansion with the opening of our fifth branch in the Indianapolis market during the first quarter 2017. The Lake City Bank team in each of our markets is committed to our community banking mission of serving our clients and communities.”

The company’s income tax expense decreased by $404,000, or 7%, to $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2016. The effective tax rate decreased from 32.7% for the first quarter of 2016 to 27.7% for the first quarter of 2017 as a result of the company adopting new FASB guidance related to employee share-based payment accounting effective January 1, 2017.  This accounting standard requires all income tax effects of share-based awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. In the past, this tax impact was recognized in the statement of stockholders’ equity. Adopting this standard resulted in the recognition of a $924,000 income tax benefit during the first quarter 2017 related to vested employee share- based payments. The company’s long-term incentive plans vest in January of each year on the third anniversary of the grant date and are subject to performance conditions. The company expects its effective tax rate to return to historical levels for the remaining quarters of 2017.

(1) Tax exempt income was converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis at a 35 percent tax rate for 2017 and 2016. The tax equivalent rate for tax exempt loans and tax exempt securities acquired after January 1, 1983 included the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (“TEFRA”) adjustment applicable to nondeductible interest expenses.  Taxable equivalent basis adjustments were $672,000, $629,000 and $520,000 in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.
(2) Loan fees, which are immaterial in relation to total taxable loan interest income for 2017 and 2016, are included as taxable loan interest income.
(3) Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balance of taxable loans.

(1) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

   Tangible common equity, tangible assets and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures calculated using GAAP amounts. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of stockholders’ equity. Tangible assets are calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of total assets. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the number of shares outstanding.  Because not all companies use the same calculation of tangible common equity and tangible assets, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies. However, management considers these measures of the company’s value including only earning assets as meaningful to an understanding of the company’s financial information.  A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per share data).
