First South Bancorp, Inc. Reports September 30, 2017 Quarterly and Nine Months Operating Results


WASHINGTON, N.C., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- First South Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSBK) (the "Company"), the parent holding company of First South Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income of $2.9 million or $0.31 of earnings per diluted share (EPS) for the 2017 third quarter, an increase from the $1.9 million of net income and $0.20 of EPS for the 2016 third quarter.  Net income for the first nine months of 2017 was $6.8 million and $0.72 of EPS, an increase from the $5.0 million of net income and $0.52 of EPS generated during the first nine months of 2016.

Highlights:

Bruce Elder, President and CEO, commented, "the third quarter financial performance of the Company is a reflection of the strong loan growth experienced over the past year.  Pre-tax income of $4.3 million was almost $1.4 million higher than the $2.9 million reported for the second quarter of 2017.  The increase was partially due to a $563,000 increase in net interest income driven by a $609,000 increase in interest and fee income from the loan portfolio.  Additionally, compared with Q2 2017, non-interest expenses declined by $476,000 and the provision for loan losses decreased by $385,000." 

Mr. Elder also noted that, "the legal merger with Carolina Financial Corporation (CARO) is anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2017.  We have a special meeting of shareholders scheduled for October 26, 2017 to formally vote for approval of the merger, and regulatory approval has recently been received.  Legacy branches will operate as CresCom Bank doing business as First South Bank until the data system conversion scheduled for the end of the first quarter of 2018, at which time those branches will be rebranded as CresCom Bank.  Conversion teams from both organizations are working diligently to ensure a smooth transition."

Strong loan and deposit growth over the past twelve months, coupled with controlled expenses, has supported the Company's solid earnings performance for both the current quarter, as well as year-to-date 2017.  Since September 30, 2016, the Company's loans held for investment portfolio has grown $98.2 million.  During this same twelve month period the deposit base has expanded by $85.5 million, including a $22.6 million increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits.  As a result of this growth, the Company has bolstered its net interest income (NII), net interest margin (NIM), and bottom line net income. 

Income Statement:  The Company's NII for the 2017 third quarter grew to $9.6 million compared to $8.3 million for the comparative 2016 third quarter.  Our NIM for the third quarter of 2017 expanded 16 basis points to 3.89% versus 3.73% for the same three month period one year ago.  NII for first nine months of 2017 grew to $27.4 million, from $24.2 million in the prior year nine month period.  The NIM for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was 3.81% and compares favorably to the 3.72% posted for the first nine months of 2016. 

Total non-interest income was $3.5 million for the current three month period compared to $3.7 million for the prior year three-month period.  The decline was primarily a result of lower gains on disposals of OREO properties, a reduction in loan sales for Small Business Administration loans and lower profit margins on the sale of mortgage loans.  Total non-interest income for the first nine months of 2017 was $10.4 million compared to $10.8 million for prior year nine month period.  Included in non-interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 is $467,000 of pre-tax gains on the sales of investment securities.  These investment securities were sold primarily to fund growth in our loan portfolio.

Non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 2017 were $8.7 million, compared to $8.9 million for the 2016 third quarter.  Total non-interest expenses for the current nine month period totaled $27.0 million, compared to $27.1 million for first nine months of 2016.  The Company, as a result of prior branch consolidations as well as other cost savings, has been able to control its expenses despite incurring $387,000 in year-to-date merger-related expenses.

Income tax expense was $1.4 million for the 2017 third quarter, compared to $947,000 for the 2016 third quarter.  The effective income tax rates were 32.3% and 33.3% for these reporting periods, respectively.  For the first nine months of 2017, income tax expense was $3.0 million versus $2.2 million for the comparative period of 2016.  The effective income tax rates were 30.8% and 30.6%, respectively for the 2017 and 2016 nine-month periods.

Balance Sheet:  Loans and leases held for investment (HFI) totaled $780.7 million at September 30, 2017, increasing $80.1 million, or 11.4%, over the $700.6 million held at December 31, 2016.  Loans held for sale totaled $3.8 million at September 30, 2017 versus $5.1 million held at December 31, 2016.  Investment securities and interest-bearing deposits at other banks totaled to $228.0 million at September 30, 2017, versus $216.4 million at December 31, 2016, as earnings and cash from robust deposit growth continues to support our strong liquidity position.

Deposits totaled $945.3 million at September 30, 2017, increasing $74.7 million, or 8.6%, from $870.6 million at December 31, 2016.  Non-maturity deposits (personal and business checking, money market, and savings accounts) grew by $69.3 million, or 11.3%, to $683.3 million at September 30, 2017, from $614.0 million at December 31, 2016.  CDs increased to $261.9 million at September 30, 2017, from $256.6 million at December 31, 2016.  CDs represented 27.7% and 29.5% of total deposits at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Stockholders' equity increased by $7.4 million to $94.6 million at September 30, 2017, from $87.2 million at December 31, 2016.  This increase primarily reflects the $6.8 million of net income earned for the first nine months of 2017 and a $1.4 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the mark-to-market adjustment of the available-for-sale securities portfolio, and is net of $998,000 of dividends declared and paid to our stockholders. 

The tangible equity to assets ratio* was 8.28% at September 30, 2017, compared to 8.21% at December 31, 2016.  The tangible book value per common share* increased to $9.36 at September 30, 2017, from $8.57 at December 31, 2016.

Asset Quality:  September 30, 2017 strong asset quality metrics continue to reflect the Company's disciplined credit culture.  Non-performing assets (NPAs) declined to $4.5 million at September 30, 2017, or 0.42% of total assets, from $6.3 million, or 0.63% of total assets, at December 31, 2016.  NPAs at September 30, 2017 included $2.2 million of other real estate owned (OREO), which has declined by $1.0 million, or 32.4%, from $3.2 million at December 31, 2016.  Nonaccrual loans and leases were $2.3 million at September 30, 2017, or 0.30% of loans and leases HFI, and compared favorably to $3.1 million, or 0.44% of loans and leases HFI, at December 31, 2016.

The provision for credit losses in the 2017 third quarter was $100,000, compared to $220,000 for the third quarter of 2016. The provision for credit losses was $850,000 in the first nine months of 2017, compared to $770,000 in the first nine months of 2016.  The allowance for loan losses represented 1.22% of loans and leases HFI at September 30, 2017, compared to 1.24% at December 31, 2016.

Regulatory Capital StrengthAs of September 30, 2017, reported regulatory capital ratios at the Bank were 12.95% for total risk-based capital, 11.73% for tier 1 risk-based capital and common equity tier 1 risk-based capital and 8.96% for tier 1 leverage, compared to 13.01% for total risk-based capital, 11.80% for tier 1 risk-based capital and common equity tier 1 risk-based capital and 8.89% for tier 1 leverage at December 31, 2016.
