  • Core loans, excluding mortgage warehouse loans and loans held for sale, increased 4.6% for the fourth quarter 2015 over the third quarter 2015
  • Strong asset quality as evidenced by annualized net charge-offs of 0.06% for the fourth quarter 2015 and a nonperforming assets to total assets ratio of 0.30%
  • Completed Initial Public Offering of 2,990,000 shares generating net proceeds of approximately $57.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2015

HOUSTON, Jan. 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allegiance Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABTX), the holding company of Allegiance Bank (collectively, “Allegiance”), reported net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2015 of $4.2 million, a 4.1% increase compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 and an 83.1% increase compared with the three months ended December 31, 2014.  Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased 17.5% to $0.33, compared to $0.40 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, reflecting a 25.9% increase in weighted average diluted common shares outstanding due to Allegiance’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) completed during the fourth quarter of 2015, and increased 3.1% from $0.32 for the three months ended December 31, 2014.  The shares issued in Allegiance’s IPO had a $0.09 impact on diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2015.  Additionally, during the first quarter of 2015, Allegiance completed the acquisition of F&M Bancshares, Inc. (“F&M”) on January 1, 2015.

“We are pleased with our robust organic growth in the fourth quarter, which demonstrates the underlying strength of our business model,” said George Martinez, Allegiance’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We also delivered solid quarterly earnings driven by continuing growth in core loans, strong asset quality and a continuing focus on controlling costs.”

“2015 was a year of significant accomplishments for us, culminating with the completion of our initial public offering,” continued Martinez.  “Proceeds received from the IPO were used to reduce the debt related to our F&M acquisition, and we ended 2015 with sufficient capital to continue our growth trajectory into 2016.  We have, and will, continue to leverage the strength of our talented bankers as we continue to expand our presence in the Houston economy.  While the Houston region has been impacted by the sharp decline in the price of crude oil, we view the current environment as an excellent opportunity for Allegiance to take advantage of the segment of the market that benefits from low energy prices.”

“Our super-community banking strategy offers a competitive advantage through our commitment to serving small to medium-sized business customers.  Our unique strategy was designed to foster strong customer relationships while benefitting from a platform and scale that is competitive with larger local and regional banks. As part of our growth plan, we intend to continue to expand our market position primarily through organic growth, including the establishment of de novo branch locations.”

Results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2015

Annualized returns on average assets, average common equity and average tangible common equity for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were 0.81%, 6.71% and 8.19%, respectively.  Allegiance’s efficiency ratio for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased to 62.40% compared to 65.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and from 71.56% for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased 4.2% to $21.3 million, compared with $20.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to a $76.1 million or 4.3% increase in average interest-earning assets.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $8.7 million, or 68.8%, from $12.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014.  This increase was primarily due to a 62.3% increase in average interest-earning assets as a result of the acquisition of F&M as well as organic growth within Allegiance’s loan portfolio. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis remained virtually flat from 4.61% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to 4.60% for the three months ended December 31, 2015.  Excluding the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments, the net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2015 would have been 4.47%, compared to 4.44% for the three months ended September 30, 2015.  The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis increased for the three months ended December 31, 2015 from 4.37% for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased $223 thousand, or 18.6%, primarily due to gains on the sale of loans recorded during the third quarter of 2015.  Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $297 thousand, or 43.6%, to $978 thousand, compared with $681 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2014.  This increase was primarily due to increased fees and service charges resulting from the additional accounts acquired in the F&M acquisition. 

Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 remained constant compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, and increased $4.5 million, or 47.2%, to $13.9 million, compared with $9.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014.  This increase was primarily due to additional noninterest expenses associated with operating a larger platform following the F&M acquisition.  

Financial Condition

Total loans increased $64.6 million or 4.0% to $1.68 billion at December 31, 2015 from $1.62 billion at September 30, 2015 due to strong organic loan growth within Allegiance’s loan portfolio.  During the three months ended December 31, 2015, core loans, which exclude the mortgage warehouse portfolio and loans held for sale, increased $70.6 million, but were partially offset by a decrease of $6.9 million in the mortgage warehouse portfolio, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015.  Total loans at December 31, 2015 increased $679.0 million, or 67.8%, compared with $1.0 billion at December 31, 2014, primarily due to loans acquired in the F&M acquisition as well as organic growth within Allegiance’s portfolio. 

Average loans for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $58.6 million, or 3.7%, to $1.63 billion from $1.57 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Average loans for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $650.2 million, or 66.3%, from $980.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

Deposits increased $102.6 million, or 6.2%, to $1.76 billion at December 31, 2015 from $1.66 billion at September 30, 2015.  Deposits at December 31, 2015 increased $625.5 million, or 55.2%, compared with $1.13 billion at December 31, 2014, primarily due to the deposits acquired in the F&M acquisition.

Average deposits for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $107.7 million, or 6.6%, to $1.74 billion, from $1.63 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2015.  Average deposits for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased $624.5 million, or 55.9%, compared with $1.12 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2014.  

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $6.2 million or 0.30% of total assets at December 31, 2015, compared with $6.3 million or 0.31% of total assets at September 30, 2015, and $3.2 million or 0.25% of total assets at December 31, 2014.  The allowance for loan losses was 0.78% of total loans at December 31, 2015, 0.69% of total loans at September 30, 2015 and 0.82% of total loans at December 31, 2014. 

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $2.2 million, or 0.53% (annualized) of average loans, compared with $1.5 million, or 0.39% (annualized) of average loans, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $500 thousand, or 0.20% (annualized) of average loans, for the three months ended December 31, 2014. 

Net charge offs for the three months ended December 31, 2015 were $265 thousand, or 0.06% (annualized) of average loans, compared with $638 thousand, or 0.16% (annualized) of average loans, for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management’s Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 
(Unaudited)

Allegiance’s management uses certain non−GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate its performance. Specifically, Allegiance reviews tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Allegiance has included in this Earnings Release information relating to these non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods presented.  Allegiance believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition and results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP.  These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which Allegiance calculates the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
