WALLA WALLA, Wash., July 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Banner Corporation (NASDAQ GSM:BANR), the parent company of Banner Bank and Islanders Bank, today reported net income in the second quarter of 2015 of $13.2 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to $12.1 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter and $17.0 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the second quarter a year ago. The current quarter results were impacted by $3.9 million of acquisition-related expenses which, net of taxes, reduced net income by $0.13 per diluted share, and the preceding quarter results were impacted by $1.6 million of acquisition-related expenses which, net of taxes, reduced net income by $0.07 per diluted share. In the second quarter of 2014, Banner recognized a $9.1 million bargain purchase gain related to the acquisition of six branches in southwest Oregon, which net of related acquisition expenses contributed $0.23 to diluted net income per share.
In the first six months of the year, net income was $25.4 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, compared to $27.5 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2014, which included the $9.1 million bargain purchase gain. Acquisition related expenses were $5.5 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2015 compared to $2.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2014.
"We continue to generate solid revenue growth driven by balance sheet expansion, client acquisition and robust mortgage banking activity, which was particularly strong in the first half of the year," said Mark J. Grescovich, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to solid organic growth, our completed merger of Siuslaw Bank into Banner Bank in March 2015 and our purchase in June 2014 of six branches from Umpqua Bank have meaningfully contributed to our strong revenue generation. We are also making good progress with our pending acquisition of AmericanWest Bank of Spokane, Washington. With these strategic combinations, we will deploy our super community bank model throughout a strengthened presence in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, and enter attractive growth markets in California and Utah. We expect these mergers to provide significant benefits to our expanding group of clients, communities, employees and shareholders."
Completion of the pending merger with AmericanWest Bank, which remains subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions, is anticipated to close late in the third quarter of 2015 and will create a super community bank with approximately $9.7 billion in assets, $6.8 billion in loans, $8.0 billion in deposits, and 190 branches across five western states. The combined company will benefit from a diversified geography with significant growth opportunities, including nine of the top 20 western Metropolitan Statistical Areas by population.

Income Statement Review
Banner's second quarter net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, increased 11% to $51.5 million, compared to $46.5 million in the preceding quarter and increased 17% compared to $43.8 million in the second quarter a year ago, largely reflecting strong client acquisition and significant organic loan and deposit growth as well as the recent acquisition. In the first six months of 2015, Banner's net interest income increased 14% to $98.0 million compared to $86.1 million in the first six months of 2014.
"Banner maintained a solid net interest margin during the second quarter as a result of continued improvement in our earning asset mix, improved yields on loans and securities and reduced cost of funds," said Grescovich. "The net interest margin was aided by a substantial credit recovery during the current quarter, which contributed $471,000 to net interest income and added four basis points to the second quarter net interest margin. In addition, the current quarter was impacted by $414,000 of accretion of purchase accounting discounts from the Siuslaw acquisition which contributed another three basis points to the margin." Banner's net interest margin was 4.19% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 4.09% in the preceding quarter and 4.06% in the second quarter a year ago. In the first six months of the year, Banner's net interest margin was 4.14% compared to 4.06% in the first six months of 2014.
Earning asset yields increased 10 basis points compared to both the preceding quarter and second quarter a year ago. Loan yields increased 10 basis points compared to the preceding quarter and were seven basis points higher than the second quarter a year ago. The credit recovery added five basis points to the current quarter loan yield and the purchase accounting discount accretion added four basis points. Deposit costs decreased two basis points compared to the preceding quarter and decreased by five basis points compared to the second quarter a year ago. The total cost of funds declined one basis point in the second quarter compared to the preceding quarter and declined five basis points compared to the second quarter a year ago.
"Banner's increased market presence and our continued investment in our mortgage banking business line, coupled with strong home purchase activity in our markets, led to an increase in mortgage banking revenues during the second quarter," said Grescovich. Mortgage banking operations contributed $4.7 million to second quarter revenues compared to $4.1 million in the preceding quarter and $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. In the first six months of 2015, mortgage banking operations contributed $8.8 million to revenues compared to $4.4 million in the same period a year earlier. Home purchase activity accounted for 66% of second quarter mortgage banking originations and 60% of mortgage originations in the first half of 2015. Deposit fees and other service charges increased 18% to $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $8.1 million in the preceding quarter and increased 30% compared to $7.3 million in the second quarter a year ago. In the first six months of 2015, deposit fees and other service charges increased 27% to $17.7 million compared to $13.9 million in the first six months of 2014. The year-over-year increase reflects strong organic growth, as well as the recent acquisitions, resulting in growth in the number of deposit accounts and increased transaction activity.
Revenues from core operations* (revenues excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities, net change in valuation of financial instruments and the bargain purchase gain) increased 12% to $66.8 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $59.7 million in the preceding quarter and increased 22% compared to $54.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. In the first six months of 2015, revenues from core operations* increased 19% to $126.5 million, compared to $106.2 million in the first six months of 2014. Total revenues were $67.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $60.2 million in the preceding quarter and $64.1 million in the second quarter a year ago which included the $9.1 million acquisition bargain purchase gain. In the first six months of 2015, total revenues were $127.8 million, compared to $115.5 million in the same period a year ago.
Banner's second quarter 2015 results included a $797,000 net gain for fair value adjustments as a result of changes in the valuation of financial instruments carried at fair value, which was partially offset by $28,000 in net loss on the sale of securities. In the preceding quarter, Banner's results included a $1.1 million net gain for fair value adjustments, which was partially offset by $510,000 in net loss on the sale of securities. In the second quarter of 2014, Banner's results included a $9.1 million acquisition bargain purchase gain based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the completed purchase of six branches from Umpqua Bank, as successor to Sterling Savings Bank, as well as a $464,000 net gain for fair value adjustments on financial instruments carried at fair value.
Banner's total other operating income, which includes the changes in the valuation of financial instruments, gains and losses on the sale of securities and bargain purchase gain, was $16.1 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $13.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $20.3 million in the second quarter a year ago. In the first six months of 2015, total other operating income was $29.8 million compared to $29.3 million in the first six months of 2014. Other operating income from core operations,* which excludes gains and losses on sale of securities, net changes in the valuation of financial instruments and the bargain purchase gain, was $15.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $13.2 million for the preceding quarter and $10.8 million for the second quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, other operating income from core operations* increased 43% to $28.5 million, compared to $20.0 million in the same period a year ago.
Total other operating expenses (non-interest expenses) were $47.7 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $41.9 million in the preceding quarter and $38.4 million in the second quarter of 2014. The increase in operating expenses was largely attributable to acquisition-related costs and incremental costs associated with operating the 16 branches acquired in June 2014 and March 2015, as well as generally increased compensation and marketing expenses. Acquisition-related expenses were $3.9 million in the current quarter compared to $1.6 million in the preceding quarter and $2.0 million in the second quarter one year ago. Year-to-date, total other operating expenses were $89.6 million, compared to $74.0 million in the same period one year ago, with acquisition-related expenses of $5.5 million, compared to $2.0 million in the comparable period one year ago.
For the second quarter of 2015, Banner recorded $6.6 million in state and federal income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 33.3%, which reflects normal marginal tax rates increased by the effect of certain non-deductible merger expenses and reduced by the effect of tax-exempt income and certain tax credits.
Credit Quality
"Our second quarter credit quality metrics continue to reflect our moderate risk profile. While our non-performing assets increased compared to a year ago, primarily as a result of the recent acquisition of Siuslaw Bank, they are still at a very modest and manageable level. All of the loans and REO acquired in the merger transaction have been recorded at appropriate fair values," said Grescovich. "Additionally, our reserve levels remain adequate, and no provision for loan losses was required during the second quarter or preceding quarter despite continued organic loan growth."
The allowance for loan losses was $77.3 million at June 30, 2015, or 1.82% of total loans outstanding and 332% of non-performing loans. Banner had net recoveries of $2.0 million in the second quarter compared to net charge-offs of $542,000 in the first quarter of 2015 and net charge-offs of $61,000 in the second quarter a year ago. Non-performing loans were $23.3 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $24.7 million at March 31, 2015. Non-performing loans were $19.7 million at June 30, 2014. Real estate owned and other repossessed assets totaled $6.1 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $5.0 million at March 31, 2015 and $4.4 million a year ago.
Banner's non-performing assets were 0.57% of total assets at June 30, 2015, compared to 0.57% at March 31, 2015 and 0.51% a year ago. Non-performing assets were $29.4 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $29.7 million at March 31, 2015 and $24.2 million a year ago.
Balance Sheet Review
"Net loans increased by $129.7 million, or 3%, during the quarter, and increased 13% year-over-year due to strong organic growth, as well as the branch purchase and Siuslaw acquisition. Loan production remained solid, and we continue to see significant potential for growth in our loan origination pipelines," added Grescovich.
Net loans were $4.17 billion at June 30, 2015, compared to $4.04 billion at March 31, 2015, and $3.69 billion a year ago. The branch purchase and Siuslaw acquisition accounted for $88 million and $245 million, respectively, of the quarter-end loan portfolio. Commercial real estate and multifamily real estate loans increased 3% to $1.82 billion at June 30, 2015, compared to $1.77 billion at March 31, 2015, and increased 18% compared to $1.54 billion a year ago. Commercial business loans increased 5% to $811.6 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $776.6 million three months earlier and increased 10% compared to $735.1 million a year ago. Agricultural business loans increased 11% to $231.0 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $208.6 million three months earlier but decreased compared to $245.7 million a year ago.

Banner's total assets declined slightly to $5.19 billion at June 30, 2015, compared to $5.21 billion at March 31, 2015, but increased 10% compared to $4.74 billion a year ago, largely as a result of the acquisition of Siuslaw Bank. The total of securities and interest-bearing deposits held at other banks was $650.9 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $782.4 million at March 31, 2015 and $712.9 million a year ago.

Total deposits were $4.30 billion at June 30, 2015, compared to $4.32 billion at March 31, 2015 and increased 10% compared to $3.92 billion a year ago. The branch purchase and Siuslaw acquisition accounted for $210 million and $320 million, respectively, of the deposit portfolio at June 30, 2015. Non-interest-bearing account balances were $1.48 billion at June 30, 2015, compared to $1.50 billion three months earlier and increased 23% compared to $1.21 billion a year ago. Interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts increased slightly to $2.05 billion at June 30, 2015, compared to $2.04 billion three months earlier and increased 16% compared to $1.77 billion a year ago. Certificates of deposit decreased to $765.8 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $778.0 million at March 31, 2015, and decreased 18% compared to $937.0 million a year earlier. Brokered deposits totaled $9.6 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $4.8 million at March 31, 2015 and $88.2 million a year ago.
"We continue to further reduce our funding costs by remixing our deposits away from higher-priced certificates of deposit and improving our core funding position," added Grescovich. Banner's core deposits represented 82% of total deposits at June 30, 2015, compared to 76% of total deposits a year earlier. The cost of deposits was 0.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to 0.18% for the preceding quarter, and declined five basis points from 0.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
At June 30, 2015, total common stockholders' equity was $660.7 million, or $31.50 per share, compared to $651.3 million at March 31, 2015 and $562.3 million a year ago.
