American National Bankshares Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2015 Earnings


DANVILLE, VA--(Marketwired - Jul 23, 2015) - American National Bankshares Inc. ("American National") (NASDAQ: AMNB)

  • Organic loan growth of $61.5 million (7.6%) over last four quarters
  • Completed integration of MainStreet BankShares, Inc.
  • Q2 2015 net income of $2.9 million and diluted EPS of $0.33
  • Net interest margin of 3.69% for Q2 2015
  • Average shareholders' equity of $197 million is 12.85% of average assets

American National Bankshares Inc. ("American National") (NASDAQ: AMNB), parent company of American National Bank and Trust Company, today announced twelve month organic loan growth of 7.6%, the completion of the integration of MainStreet BankShares, Inc., and $2,880,000 net income for the second quarter 2015. 

The net income of $2,880,000 compared to $3,233,000 for the second quarter of 2014, is a $353,000 or 10.9% decrease. Basic and diluted net income per common share was $0.33 for the 2015 quarter compared to $0.41 for the 2014 quarter. Net income for the second quarter of 2015 produced a return on average assets of 0.75%, a return on average equity of 5.86%, and a return on average tangible equity of 8.26%.

Net income for the first six months of 2015 was $6,395,000 compared to $6,683,000 for the comparable period of 2014, a $288,000 or 4.3% decrease. Basic and diluted net income per common share was $0.73 for the 2015 period compared to $0.85 for the 2014 period.

The 2015 quarter and six month period were negatively impacted by nonrecurring, merger related costs associated with the January acquisition of MainStreet BankShares, Inc. ("MainStreet"). Merger related costs for the 2015 quarter were $1,502,000 and for the six month period $1,861,000.

Financial Performance and Overview
Jeffrey V. Haley, President and Chief Executive Officer, reported, "One major story for early 2015 continues to be our acquisition of MainStreet and its banking subsidiary, Franklin Community Bank, N.A. ("Franklin Community Bank"). This merger closed on January 1, 2015, and we completed the operational and technology aspects of the union in mid-May. We are extremely pleased with the integration progress made during the first half of this year and we are fortunate to have the employees and customers of Franklin Community Bank as part of our growing American National corporate family.

"The merger has had a positive impact on our balance sheet and we are also seeing organic balance sheet growth in our other markets.

"At June 30, 2015, American National had $982,905,000 in loans compared to $813,057,000 at June 30, 2014, an increase of $169,848,000 or 20.9%. Of this increase, $108,326,000 or 63.8% relates directly to the MainStreet acquisition. 

"Our other major story for early 2015 is organic growth. Organic loan growth over the past year was $61,522,000 or 7.6%. We are very encouraged that a combination of active business development and gradually improving local market economic conditions are beginning to result in high quality growth. 

"At June 30, 2015, American National had $1,234,018,000 in deposits compared to $1,035,800,000 at June 30, 2014, an increase of $198,218,000 or 19.1%. Of this increase, $125,320,000 or 63.2% relates directly to the MainStreet acquisition. The deposit growth was strong in all categories, but most notably in non-maturity (core) deposits. We are continuously working to grow core deposits and their affiliated relationships, but the challenge in this ongoing low rate environment is to do that in a cost effective and yet competitive manner. Our cost of interest bearing deposits for the second quarter was 0.50%, compared to 0.57% for the 2014 quarter.

"On the earnings side, our net income for the second quarter was $2,880,000, down from $3,233,000 in the 2014 quarter, a decrease of $353,000 or 10.9%.

"We had several drivers that impacted the 2015 quarter compared to the 2014 quarter.

"The merger with MainStreet had a significant and positive impact to operating results by adding substantially to earning assets.

"The provision for loan loss decreased by $50,000 during the quarter. This decrease was primarily related to improving economic conditions and continuing strong asset quality metrics, but was offset by loan growth during the quarter.

"Noninterest income was higher in the 2015 quarter by $558,000 or 20.7%, related mostly to the MainStreet merger.

"Noninterest expense was higher in the 2015 quarter by $3,277,000 or 39.2%, related mostly to the merger and to merger related, nonrecurring expenses. The nonrecurring merger costs were $1,502,000 for the quarter."

Haley concluded, "The first half of 2015 has been busy and productive for American National. The Franklin Community Bank merger in January and operational conversion in May were major accomplishments and I want to thank all people that worked so hard and successfully to make them happen.

"On another front, we are extremely pleased to see the beginning of significant organic loan growth. This is our favorite leading indicator of improving business conditions.

"American National will continue to grow its balance sheet and maintain high asset quality. Asset quality is a fundamental value for us. But, at the same time, we are constantly seeking ways to better deploy our capital. Among those ways is our ongoing stock repurchase plan, which during the quarter bought almost 52,000 shares. These efforts will continue to manifest themselves through continuing consideration of future merger and acquisition opportunities, continuing timely and economical stock repurchase activity, and an ongoing review of our dividend policy."

Capital
American National's capital ratios remain strong and exceed all regulatory requirements. 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, average shareholders' equity was 12.85% of average assets, compared to 13.22% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Book value per common share was $22.43 at June 30, 2015, compared to $21.95 at June 30, 2014.

Tangible book value per common share was $16.96 at June 30, 2015, compared to $16.65 at June 30, 2014.

Credit Quality Measurements
Non-performing assets ($3,772,000 of non-performing loans and $2,113,000 of other real estate owned) represented 0.39% of total assets at June 30, 2015, compared to 0.60% at June 30, 2014. 

Annualized net charge offs to average loans was six basis points (0.06%) for the 2015 second quarter, compared to zero basis points (0.00%) for the same quarter in 2014.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.30% at June 30, 2015 compared to 1.57% at June 30, 2014. The largest driver of this decrease was the merger with MainStreet, whose loans have been marked to fair value at the merger date and whose related allowance for loan loss was eliminated in the valuation process.

Other real estate owned was $2,113,000 at June 30, 2015, compared to $2,622,000 at June 30, 2014, a decrease of $509,000 or 19.4%.

Merger related financial impact
The fair value adjustments related to our two recent mergers have had a favorable impact on net interest income and income before income tax for American National. The adjustments are summarized below (dollars in thousands):

 
                 
MainStreet   June 30, 2015    
    For the three months ended   For the six months ended        
Net Interest Income   $ 316   $ 1,019            
Income Before Income Taxes   $ 243   $ 872            
                         
MidCarolina   June 30, 2015   June 30, 2014
    For the three months ended   For the six months ended   For the three months ended   For the six months ended
Net Interest Income   $ 528   $ 938   $ 604   $ 1,500
Income Before Income Taxes   $ 301   $ 485   $ 368   $ 1,029
                         

The MainStreet merger was effective January 1, 2015; therefore, no comparative 2014 information is presented.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased to $12,382,000 in the second quarter of 2015 from $10,351,000 in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $2,031,000 or 19.6%. 

For the 2015 quarter, the net interest margin was 3.69% compared to 3.68% for the same quarter in 2014, an increase of one basis point (0.01%). 

Provision for loan losses
Provision expense for the second quarter of 2015 was $100,000 compared to $150,000 for the second quarter of 2014.

The need for provision expense in the 2015 quarter was driven primarily by an increase in loan volume of approximately $17 million. It was partially mitigated by improving economic conditions and continuing strong asset quality metrics.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $3,258,000 in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $2,700,000 in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $558,000 or 20.7%. Almost all income categories showed substantial increases, most of which were related to increased transaction volumes resulting from the MainStreet transaction.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $11,642,000 in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $8,365,000 in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $3,277,000 or 39.2%. 

All expense categories were impacted by the MainStreet merger and the integration of Franklin Community Bank into American National's operations. 

However, the major driver of the increase was nonrecurring, merger related expenses, related to the MainStreet acquisition, which accounted for $1,502,000 or 45.8% of the increase. The operational conversion of Franklin Community Bank was completed in mid-May and substantially all of the related technology costs have been recognized. Accordingly, management expects no substantial expense in this category in future periods.
