Central Valley Community Bancorp Reports Earnings Results for the Nine Months and Quarter Ended September 30, 2015


FRESNO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 21, 2015) -  The Board of Directors of Central Valley Community Bancorp (Company) (NASDAQ: CVCY), the parent company of Central Valley Community Bank (Bank), reported today unaudited consolidated net income of $8,061,000, and diluted earnings per common share of $0.73 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $7,660,000 and $0.70 per diluted common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. 

Net income for the period increased 5.23% in 2015 compared to the nine-month period in 2014, primarily driven by an increase in non-interest income, offset by an increase in provision for credit losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $600,000. The company recorded a reverse provision for credit losses of $400,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $30,137,000, compared to $29,879,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $258,000 or 0.86%. Net interest income during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014 was benefited by approximately $274,000 and $861,000, respectively, in net interest income from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual status. Excluding these benefits, net interest income for the first nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased by $845,000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. 

Non-performing assets decreased by $11,558,000, or 82.25%, to $2,494,000 at September 30, 2015, compared to $14,052,000 at December 31, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company's shareholders' equity increased $6,408,000, or 4.89%. The increase in shareholders' equity was driven by the retention of earnings net of dividends paid, partially offset by a decrease in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). 

Annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 8.01%, compared to 7.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase in ROE reflects an increase in net income, notwithstanding an increase in shareholders' equity. The Company declared and paid $0.12 per share in cash dividends to holders of common stock during the first nine months of 2015 compared to $0.15 per share in the first nine months of 2014. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 0.89% for the nine months ended September 30 in both 2015 and 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company's total assets increased 3.51%, and total liabilities increased 3.34% compared to December 31, 2014. 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $600,000, whereas the company recorded a reverse provision for credit losses of $400,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $185,000 in net loan recoveries, compared to $1,319,000 in net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The net (recovery) charge-off ratio, which reflects net (recoveries) charge-offs to average loans, was (0.04)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 0.33% for the same period in 2014.

At September 30, 2015, the allowance for credit losses stood at $9,093,000, compared to $8,308,000 at December 31, 2014, a net increase of $785,000 reflecting the provision of $600,000 and the net recoveries during the period. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.52% at September 30, 2015, and 1.45% at December 31, 2014. Total loans included loans acquired in the acquisition of Visalia Community Bank in 2013 ("VCB loans") that were recorded at fair value in connection with the acquisition. The value of the VCB loans totaled $66,572,000 at September 30, 2015 and $77,882,000 at December 31, 2014. Excluding these VCB loans from the calculation, the allowance for credit losses to total gross loans was 1.71% and 1.68% as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively and general reserves associated with non-impaired loans to total non-impaired loans was 1.69% and 1.62%, respectively. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable incurred losses inherent within the loan portfolio at September 30, 2015. 

Total non-performing assets were $2,494,000, or 0.20% of total assets as of September 30, 2015, compared to $14,052,000, or 1.18% of total assets as of December 31, 2014. The decrease in non-performing assets resulted from the continued liquidation of certain assets serving as collateral for various impaired credits. On October 2, 2015, the Company received an additional $375,000 from the liquidation of collateralized assets which will be recorded as a recovery in the fourth quarter of 2015. 

In connection with the partial charge-off of a single commercial and agricultural relationship in the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company is actively working to collect all balances legally owed to the Company. The Company plans to continue to track and identify any expenses, net of recoveries, associated with the collection efforts of this commercial and agricultural relationship. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, collection expenses related to this relationship totaled $303,000.

The Company's net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.01% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 4.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison primarily resulted from a decrease in the yield on the Company's loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the Company's cost of funds.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the effective yield on total earning assets decreased 14 basis points to 4.10% compared to 4.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, while the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 2 basis points to 0.16% compared to 0.18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The cost of total deposits decreased 2 basis points to 0.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 0.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company's average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased by $2,465,000, or 0.48%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The effective yield on average investment securities, including interest earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, decreased to 2.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 2.80% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The effective yield on average loans decreased to 5.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 5.65% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 due to continued competitive and market rate pressures as well as a reduction in the amount of interest income recovered in more recent quarters on nonaccrual or charged-off loans.

Total average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $1,209,143,000 compared to $1,147,366,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $61,777,000 or 5.38%. Total average loans increased $55,164,000, or 10.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Total average investments, including deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased to $516,243,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $513,778,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, representing an increase of $2,465,000 or 0.48%. Total average deposits increased $55,094,000 or 5.52% to $1,053,307,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $998,213,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $18,532,000, or 2.84%, and average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $36,562,000, or 10.59%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company's ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 36.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 34.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased by $1,427,000 to $7,508,000, compared to $6,081,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily driven by an increase of $886,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, a $393,000 increase in loan placement fees, a $134,000 increase in other income, and a $237,000 increase in Federal Home Loan Bank dividends, partially offset by a $120,000 decrease in service charge income, and a $43,000 decrease in interchange fees. The Company also realized a $345,000 tax-free gain related to the collection of life insurance proceeds in June 2015 which is included in other non-interest income.

Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $493,000, or 1.86%, to $27,013,000 compared to $26,520,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The net increase year over year was a result of increases in salaries and employee benefits of $639,000, increases in professional services of $326,000, increases in Internet banking expenses of $182,000, increases in regulatory assessments of $252,000, increases in license and maintenance contracts of $8,000, and increases in advertising fees of $12,000, offset by decreases in data processing expenses of $500,000, decreases in ATM/Debit card expenses of $65,000, and decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $149,000. The increase in professional services was driven by $303,000 related to defending and collecting a deteriorated credit. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily the result of increased performance incentives, and higher health insurance expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, other non-interest expenses included increases of $46,000 in telephone expenses, $17,000 in director's fees and related expenses, $12,000 in personnel expenses, $10,000 in stationery/supplies expenses, $8,000 in general insurance expenses, and $3,000 in operating losses, offset by decreases of $185,000 in net losses on disposal or write-down of premises and equipment, $48,000 in appraisal fees, $21,000 in postage expenses, $6,000 in armored courier expenses, and $1,000 in donations, as compared to the same period in 2014.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1,971,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $2,180,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 19.65% compared to 22.15% for the same period in 2014. The decrease in effective tax rate was primarily due to the additional nontaxable gain on collection of life insurance proceeds received in the second quarter of 2015.

Quarter Ended September 30, 2015

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported an unaudited consolidated net income of $2,517,000 and diluted earnings per common share of $0.23, compared to consolidated net income of $2,351,000 and $0.21 per diluted share for the same period in 2014. Net income for the immediately trailing quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $3,078,000, or $0.28 per diluted common share. The increase in net income during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 is primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in provision for credit losses. The Company recorded $100,000 in provision for credit losses during the third quarter of 2015 compared to none during the same period of 2014.

Annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the third quarter of 2015 was 7.47%, compared to 7.10% for the same period of 2014. The increase in ROE reflects an increase in net income, offset by an increase in shareholders' equity. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 0.82% for the third quarter of 2015 compared to 0.81% for the same period in 2014. This increase is due to an increase in net income, notwithstanding an increase in average assets.

In comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2014, average total loans increased by $52,063,000, or 9.54%. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded $279,000 in net loan recoveries compared to $182,000 for the same period in 2014. The net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects annualized net charge-offs to average loans, was (0.19)% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to (0.13)% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
