National Commerce Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter and

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Commerce Corporation (Nasdaq:NCOM) (the “Company” or “NCC”), the parent company of National Bank of Commerce, today reported fourth quarter 2015 net income to common shareholders of $2.9 million, compared to $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Diluted net earnings per share were $0.28 in the 2015 fourth quarter, compared to $0.27 in the 2015 third quarter.

For the full year, NCC reported net income of $9.6 million, up from $5.4 million in 2014, and diluted net earnings per share of $1.02, compared to $0.91 in 2014.

On October 31, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Reunion Bank of Florida, incurring approximately $395 thousand in merger-related expenses. Also, as previously announced, the Company closed its Kissimmee, Florida and English Village (Birmingham), Alabama branch banking offices, effective December 31, 2015. In connection with these closings, the Company incurred approximately $165 thousand in closing and severance costs in the fourth quarter of 2015.

“We are pleased to welcome the Reunion team and its customers to our company,” said John H. Holcomb, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Our team’s work in 2015 has National Commerce Corporation well-positioned for 2016 and beyond. We will continue our focus on asset quality, customer service and growing our profitability, and we look forward to 2016.”

Several important measures from the fourth quarter of 2015 are as follows:

Net Interest Margin (tax-effected) of 4.06%, down from 4.58% for the fourth quarter of 2014. The margin increased 0.04% compared to the 2015 third quarter. During the fourth quarter of 2015, average cash and federal funds balances were $191.1 million, compared to $48.6 million in the 2014 fourth quarter and $166.7 million in the 2015 third quarter. The 2014 fourth quarter margin was also higher than the 2015 fourth quarter due to the proportionately larger size of factoring revenues as a percentage of total revenues, resulting from the higher yields in the factoring division.
Return on Average Assets of 0.72% for both the 2015 and 2014 fourth quarters. Return on Average Assets was impacted by the larger average balances in cash and federal funds during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Return on Average Tangible Common Equity of 7.48%, compared to 7.86% for the fourth quarter of 2014.
Fourth quarter 2015 loan growth (excluding mortgage loans held-for-sale) of $304.3 million. The fourth quarter loan growth includes loans acquired in the October 31, 2015 Reunion acquisition totaling approximately $258.4 million.
Fourth quarter 2015 deposit growth of $372.6 million. The fourth quarter deposit growth includes deposits acquired in the October 31, 2015 Reunion acquisition totaling approximately $277.7 million.
$58.9 million in mortgage production, compared to $55.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014.
$172.1 million in purchased volume in the factoring division, compared to $198.7 million for the 2014 fourth quarter.
A slight decrease in non-acquired non-performing assets to $4.3 million from $4.5 million at September 30, 2015, and an increase compared to $3.3 million at December 31, 2014.
Annualized net charge-offs of 0.06%, compared to 0.02% for the fourth quarter of 2014.
Ending tangible book value per share of $15.03.
Ending book value per share of $20.01.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures presented in this press release and included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements are not measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, allowance for loan losses to nonacquired loans, efficiency ratio and operating efficiency ratio. The Company’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth below in its analysis of the Company’s performance.

“Tangible common equity” is total shareholders’ equity less goodwill, other intangible assets and minority interest not included in intangible assets.
“Average tangible common equity” is defined as the average of tangible common equity for the applicable period.
“Return on average tangible common equity,” or ROATCE, is defined as net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common equity.
“Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.
“Allowance for loan losses to nonacquired loans” is defined as the total allowance for loan losses, less the allowance for loan losses attributable to factored receivables, divided by nonacquired loans held for investment, excluding factored receivables at end of period.
“Efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue (which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income), excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities. This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.
“Operating efficiency ratio” is defined as noninterest expense divided by operating revenue, excluding one-time gains and losses on sales of securities and one-time gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition activities. This measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in productivity based on the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to NCC’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, NCC acknowledges that the non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, NCC cautions readers that these disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these disclosures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude various items detailed in the attached “Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”
