BILLINGS, Mont.--()--First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. (NASDAQ:FIBK) reports second quarter 2016 net income of $25.6 million, or $0.57 per share. This compares to net income of $20.1 million, or $0.45 per share, during first quarter 2016, and $22.2 million, or $0.49 per share, during second quarter 2015. During second quarter 2016, the Company recorded a non-recurring recovery of $3.8 million related to prior year litigation, which the Company considers non-core. Exclusive of non-core income, second quarter net income was $23.2 million, or $0.52 per share, compared to $20.1 million, or $0.45 per share, during first quarter 2016 and $22.2 million, or $0.49 per share, during second quarter 2015.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Core pre-tax, pre-provision net income of $37.9 million, a 10.3% increase from first quarter 2016 and an 8.2% increase from the same period in the prior year.
  • Net interest margin ratio of 3.55%, a 1 basis point improvement from first quarter 2016 and an 8 basis point improvement from the same period in the prior year.
  • Total fee-based revenues of $30.7 million, a 19.1% increase from first quarter 2016 and a 6.1% increase from the same period in the prior year.
  • Mortgage banking revenues of $9.4 million, a 53.2% increase from first quarter 2016.
  • Loan growth of 6.1% year-over-year, of which 5.3% was organic.
  • Loan to deposit ratio of 77.5% as of June 30, 2016, compared to 75.0% a year ago.
  • Core efficiency ratio of 60.78%, as compared to 62.71% during first quarter 2016 and 63.14% during second quarter 2015.

“We delivered a strong quarter driven by a significant increase in loan production, higher contributions across all of our major non-interest income areas, a stable net interest margin and improved efficiencies throughout the Company,” said Kevin Riley, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. “We generated 3.2% loan growth during second quarter with balanced contributions across the portfolio including strong increases in commercial real estate, construction, consumer and agricultural lending. Our position as a leading residential mortgage lender has also enabled us to capitalize on the positive housing trends in our markets and an increase in mortgage lending activity. As a result, we had a very strong quarter in mortgage banking. Going forward, we expect to see a continuation of these positive trends in revenue and operating efficiencies in the second half of 2016,” said Mr. Riley.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

On July 21, 2016, the Company's board of directors declared a dividend of $0.22 per common share payable on August 12, 2016, to owners of record as of August 1, 2016. This dividend equates to a 3.2% annual yield based on the $27.97 average closing price of the Company's common stock during second quarter 2016.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The Company's net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent or FTE basis, decreased $270 thousand, or less than 1.0%, to $68.7 million during second quarter 2016, as compared to $69.0 million during first quarter 2016, primarily due to a decrease in total earning assets as a result of seasonally lower deposits. The Company's net FTE interest income increased $2.3 million, or 3.5%, to $68.7 million during second quarter 2016, as compared to $66.4 million during second quarter 2015. This increase was primarily due to a shift in the mix of interest earning assets from lower-yielding investment securities into higher-yielding loans, which was partially offset by an 11 basis point reduction in loan yield during second quarter 2016, as compared to second quarter 2015.

Interest accretion attributable to the fair valuation of acquired loans contributed $1.7 million of interest income during second quarter 2016, of which approximately $779 thousand was related to early pay-offs. This compares to interest accretion of $1.6 million of interest income during first quarter 2016, of which approximately $549 thousand was related to early pay-offs, and interest accretion of $1.6 million during second quarter 2015, of which $470 was related to early pay-offs. In addition, the Company recovered previously charged-off interest of $133 thousand during second quarter 2016, compared to $265 thousand during first quarter 2016 and $753 thousand during second quarter 2015.

The Company's net interest margin ratio remained stable at 3.55% during second quarter 2016, a 1 basis point increase from 3.54% during first quarter 2016. Exclusive of the accelerated interest accretion related to early payoffs of acquired loans and the impact of recoveries of charged-off interest, the Company's net interest margin ratio was 3.51% during second quarter 2016, 3.50% during first quarter 2016 and 3.40% during second quarter 2015.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income increased $8.9 million to $37.0 million during second quarter 2016, as compared to $28.1 million during first quarter 2016. During second quarter 2016, the Company recorded a non-recurring recovery related to prior year litigation expense of $3.8 million. The remaining increase was primarily due to increases in fee-based revenues, most notably mortgage banking revenues.

Mortgage banking revenues of $9.4 million during second quarter 2016 increased $3.3 million, or 53.2%, from $6.1 million during first quarter 2016, primarily due to seasonal increases in loan production volume and, to a lesser extent, increases in margins on loans sold into the secondary market. During second quarter 2016, the Company's overall mortgage loan production increased 41%, as compared to first quarter 2016. Loans originated for new home purchases accounted for approximately 67% of the Company's mortgage loan production during second quarter 2016, as compared to 59% during first quarter 2016.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense increased $1.2 million to $62.9 million during second quarter 2016, as compared to $61.7 million during first quarter 2016. During second quarter 2016, as compared to first quarter 2016, increases in incentive compensation expense were partially offset by decreases in payroll taxes and one-time separation and special bonus expenses.

Non-interest expense increased $924 thousand to $62.9 million during second quarter 2016, as compared to $62.0 million during second quarter 2015. During 2016, the Company incurred additional non-interest expense as a result of its focus on getting the right people, processes and technology systems in place for future growth. Non-interest expenses recorded during second quarter 2016 were partially offset by lower fraud losses and contract termination fees, as compared to second quarter 2015.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company began capturing certain software costs separately from equipment costs, resulting in an increase of approximately $2.4 million in other expenses and a corresponding decrease in occupancy and equipment expense during second quarter 2016, as compared to second quarter 2015.

LOANS

Total loans grew organically 3.2% to $5.4 billion as of June 30, 2016, from $5.2 billion as of March 31, 2016, with the most significant growth occurring in commercial real estate, commercial construction, indirect consumer and agricultural loans. Commercial real estate loans increased $52 million, or 3.0%, to $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2016, from $1.8 billion as of March 31, 2016, and commercial construction loans increased 14.9% to $118 million as of June 30, 2016, from $102 million as of March 31, 2016. Management attributes this growth to continued business expansion in the Company's market areas, particularly in the Billings, Jackson and Rapid City markets.

Indirect consumer loans increased $37 million, or 5.6%, to $688 million as of June 30, 2016, from $651 million as of March 31, 2016, primarily due to the continued growth of our indirect lending program within our existing market areas and continuing increases in the average loan amounts advanced during second quarter.

Agricultural loans increased $14 million, or 10.8%, to $140 million as of June 30, 2016, from $126 million as of March 31, 2016, and agricultural real estate loans increased $14 million, or 9.0% to $167 million as of June 30, 2016, from $153 million as of March 31, 2016. This growth is primarily attributable to seasonal increases in credit lines that typically occur during the second and third quarters of the year.

Year-over-year, total loans increased 6.1% to $5.4 billion as of June 30, 2016, from $5.1 billion as of June 30, 2015. Exclusive of acquisitions, the Company experienced organic loan growth of 5.3% year-over-year, with all loan categories except agricultural loans showing increases.

DEPOSITS

The Company historically experiences a slight decrease in total deposits during the second quarter of each year. Total deposits decreased 1.8%, to $7.0 billion as of June 30, 2016, from $7.1 billion as of March 31, 2016. This compares to a 2.4% decline experienced during the same period in the prior year. Year-over-year, total deposits increased 2.6% to $7.0 billion as of June 30, 2016, from $6.8 billion as of June 30, 2015, with all categories except time deposits experiencing growth. As of June 30, 2016, the mix of total deposits was 26% non-interest bearing, 30% interest bearing demand, 29% savings, and 15% time, as compared to 26% non-interest bearing, 30% interest bearing demand, 27% savings, and 17% time as of June 30, 2015.

OTHER LIABILITIES

Other liabilities increased 25.6% to $82 million as of June 30, 2016, from $65 million as of March 31, 2016, largely due to increases in deferred tax liabilities primarily related to fluctuations on unrealized gains and losses in investment securities, and increases in derivative liabilities associated with interest rate swaps and mortgage banking forward loan sale commitments.

CAPITAL

At June 30, 2016, the Company exceeded all "well-capitalized" regulatory capital adequacy requirements. During second quarter 2016, the Company repurchased and retired 27,635 shares of its Class A common stock with an aggregate value of $733 thousand and paid common stock dividends of $10 million, or $0.22 per share.

CREDIT QUALITY

Credit quality declined during second quarter 2016, with non-performing assets increasing to $87 million, or 1.01% of total assets, as of June 30, 2016, from $77 million, or 0.89% of total assets, as of March 31, 2016. Non-accrual loans, the largest component of non-performing assets, increased $10 million, to $74 million as of June 30, 2016, from $64 million as of March 31, 2016. Approximately 68% of the increase is related to hospitality industries and is the result of placement of the loans of four commercial real estate borrowers on non-accrual status during second quarter 2016.

Criticized loans were $360 million, or 6.6% of total loans, as of June 30, 2016, compared to $347 million, or 6.6% of total loans, as of March 31, 2016. This increase in criticized loans was primarily concentrated in commercial and commercial real estate loans, with approximately 22% of the increase related to loans in the energy sector.

During second quarter 2016, the Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $2 million, which was comprised of charge-offs of $3 million and recoveries of $1 million.

The Company's allowance for loan losses remained stable at $80 million, or 1.48% of period end loans, as of June 30, 2016, as compared to $80 million, or 1.52% of period end loans, as of March 31, 2016. In determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the probable loss can be identified and reasonably determined. The balance of the allowance for loan losses is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates and other qualitative factors such as changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current economic factors and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates. During second quarter 2016, the Company performed an in-depth review of the qualitative factors used in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses utilizing post-crisis loss experience. This review resulted in the adjustment of certain qualitative factors. The adjustment of qualitative factors combined with the Company's assessment of losses on specific loans with identified weaknesses did not result in a material impact to the overall level of the Company's allowance for loan losses. The Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at an amount it believes is sufficient to provide for estimated losses inherent in its loan portfolio at each balance sheet date.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, this release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to provide supplemental perspectives on capital adequacy, operating results, performance trends and financial condition. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies because other companies may not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. As a result, the usefulness of these measures to investors may be limited, and they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company adjusts certain capital adequacy measures to exclude intangible assets except mortgage servicing rights. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by banking regulators, are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance due to the importance that analysts place on these ratios and also allow investors to compare certain aspects of the Company's capitalization to other companies.

The Company also adjusts earnings and certain performance ratios to exclude certain non-core revenues and expenses, including investment securities net gains or losses, acquisition expenses consisting primarily of travel expenses and professional fees, and nonrecurring litigation expenses and recoveries. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating operating trends by excluding amounts which the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations. These non-core income and expense adjustments may be presented before or net of estimated income tax expense.

In addition, the Company adjusts net income to exclude income tax expense and provision for loan losses. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors in evaluating operating trends by excluding pre-tax amounts which the Company views as fluctuating widely based on economic conditions.

See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures table included herein for a reconciliation of the above described non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
