Bank of the Ozarks, Inc. (NASDAQ: OZRK) today announced that net income for the first quarter of 2015 was $39.9 million, a 57.8% increase from $25.3 million for the first quarter of 2014. Diluted earnings per common share for the first quarter of 2015 were $0.47, a 38.2% increase from $0.34 for the first quarter of 2014.

The Company’s results during the quarter just ended included $2.3 million of tax-exempt income from bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) death benefits, $2.5 million in net gains on sales of investment securities, $2.5 million in prepayment penalties from prepaying Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, acquisition-related and systems conversion expenses of approximately $1.3 million and software and contract termination charges of approximately $0.7 million. Net of applicable income taxes, these items, in the aggregate, added approximately $0.01 to the Company’s diluted earnings per common share in the quarter just ended.

On February 10, 2015, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Intervest Bancshares Corporation (“Intervest”) with operations in New York and Florida. During 2014 the Company completed its acquisitions of Texas-based Bancshares, Inc. (“Bancshares”) in March and Arkansas-based Summit Bancorp, Inc. in May.

On June 23, 2014, the Company completed a 2-for-1 stock split, in the form of a stock dividend, by issuing one share of common stock for each share of such stock outstanding on June 13, 2014. All share and per share information in this release has been adjusted to give effect to this stock split.

The Company’s returns on average assets, average common stockholders’ equity and average tangible common stockholders’ equity for the first quarter of 2015 were 2.13%, 15.41% and 17.65%, respectively, compared to 2.12%, 15.96% and 16.45%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2014. The calculation of the Company’s return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity and the reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are included in the schedules accompanying this release.

Non-purchased loans and leases were $4.31 billion at March 31, 2015, a 55.2% increase from $2.78 billion at March 31, 2014 and an 8.3% increase from $3.98 billion at December 31, 2014. Including purchased loans, total loans and leases were $6.35 billion at March 31, 2015, a 77.9% increase from $3.57 billion at March 31, 2014 and a 23.9% increase from $5.13 billion at December 31, 2014.

The unfunded balance of closed loans increased to $3.41 billion at March 31, 2015, compared to $1.42 billion at March 31, 2014 and $2.96 billion at December 31, 2014.

George Gleason, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “During the quarter just ended, our non-purchased loans and leases grew $331 million, and our unfunded balance of closed loans grew $445 million. This was very good growth considering the seasonal headwinds we typically experience in the first quarter. Our already excellent asset quality improved further as seen in our ratios of nonperforming loans and leases, nonperforming assets, and past due loans and leases at March 31, 2015. Our first quarter return on average assets of 2.13% builds on our track record of having achieved returns on average assets in excess of 2.00% for each of the last five years. We completed our Intervest acquisition in February and expect to complete the Intervest conversion, our last pending systems conversion, in June. Having now completed almost all of our systems conversions and having terminated the loss share agreements on all seven of our FDIC-assisted acquisitions in last year’s fourth quarter, we are in a great position to move forward to new opportunities.”

Deposits were $6.72 billion at March 31, 2015, a 71.5% increase from $3.92 billion at March 31, 2014 and a 22.2% increase from $5.50 billion at December 31, 2014.

Total assets were $8.30 billion at March 31, 2015, a 65.0% increase from $5.03 billion at March 31, 2014 and a 22.7% increase from $6.77 billion at December 31, 2014.

Common stockholders’ equity was $1.18 billion at March 31, 2015, a 79.4% increase from $657 million at March 31, 2014 and a 29.8% increase from $908 million at December 31, 2014. Tangible common stockholders’ equity was $1.02 billion at March 31, 2015, a 60.9% increase from $636 million at March 31, 2014 and a 27.5% increase from $803 million at December 31, 2014. Book value per common share was $13.59 at March 31, 2015, a 52.7% increase from $8.90 at March 31, 2014 and a 19.5% increase from $11.37 at December 31, 2014. Tangible book value per common share was $11.80 at March 31, 2015, a 37.0% increase from $8.61 at March 31, 2014 and a 17.5% increase from $10.04 at December 31, 2014. The calculations of the Company’s tangible common stockholders’ equity and tangible book value per common share and the reconciliations to GAAP are included in the schedules accompanying this release.

Its ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets was 12.56% at March 31, 2015, compared to 12.70% at March 31, 2014.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2015 was $85.5 million, a 63.2% increase from $52.4 million for the first quarter of 2014. Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis, was 5.42% in the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of four basis points from 5.46% in the first quarter of 2014 and a decrease of ten basis points from 5.52% for the full year of 2014. Average earning assets were $6.59 billion for the first quarter of 2015, a 62.0% increase from $4.07 billion for the first quarter of 2014 and a 12.8% increase from $5.84 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2015 increased 42.8% to $29.1 million compared to $20.4 million for the first quarter of 2014.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased 17.5% to $6.63 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $5.64 million in the first quarter of 2014, but decreased 5.5% compared to $7.01 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Mortgage lending income increased 58.0% to $1.51 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $0.95 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Trust income increased 8.8% to $1.43 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $1.32 million in the first quarter of 2014, but decreased 4.1% compared to $1.49 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.

BOLI income increased 220.6% to $3.62 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $1.13 million in the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to $2.26 million of tax-exempt income from BOLI death benefits in the first quarter of 2015.

Other income from purchased loans increased 169.0% to $8.91 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $3.31 million in the first quarter of 2014. Net gains on sales of other assets increased to $2.83 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $0.97 million in the first quarter of 2014. The increases in the Company’s other income from purchased loans and net gains on sales of other assets in the quarter just ended are, in part, attributable to the Company having terminated, in the fourth quarter of 2014, the loss share agreements on all seven of its FDIC-assisted acquisitions. Subsequent to the termination of such loss share agreements, all recoveries, gains, charge-offs, losses and expenses related to the previously covered assets are recognized entirely by the Company, since the FDIC no longer shares in such items. Accordingly, the Company’s earnings are positively impacted to the extent it recognizes recoveries in excess of the carrying value of such assets and gains on any sales. Conversely, its earnings are negatively impacted to the extent it recognizes charge-offs, losses on any sales and expenses related to such assets.

Net gains on investment securities increased to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared to essentially none in the first quarter of 2014. During the quarter just ended, the Company sold certain of its longer term municipal bonds resulting in proceeds of $30.1 million and the net gains of $2.5 million. The Company utilized such proceeds to prepay $30 million of its highest rate FHLB advances resulting in prepayment penalties of $2.5 million. The Company executed these largely offsetting transactions for various reasons, including reducing interest rate risk, increasing secondary sources of liquidity and more efficiently allocating capital.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $4.67 million on its March 2014 acquisition of Bancshares. There were no bargain purchase gains during the first quarter of 2015.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2015 increased 34.0% to $50.2 million compared to $37.5 million for the first quarter of 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company incurred prepayment penalties of $2.5 million from prepaying FHLB advances, acquisition-related and systems conversion expenses of approximately $1.3 million and software and contract termination charges of approximately $0.7 million. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company incurred acquisition-related and systems conversion expenses of approximately $0.7 million and software and contract termination charges of approximately $5.0 million.

The Company’s efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income FTE and non-interest income) for the first quarter of 2015 improved to 42.8% compared to 49.8% for the first quarter of 2014.

ASSET QUALITY, CHARGE-OFFS AND ALLOWANCE

Excluding purchased loans, nonperforming loans and leases as a percent of total loans and leases decreased to 0.33% at March 31, 2015, compared to 0.42% at March 31, 2014 and 0.53% at December 31, 2014.

Excluding purchased loans, nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets decreased to 0.56% at March 31, 2015, compared to 1.44% at March 31, 2014 and 0.87% at December 31, 2014.

Excluding purchased loans, the Company’s ratio of loans and leases past due 30 days or more, including past due non-accrual loans and leases, to total loans and leases decreased to 0.57% at March 31, 2015 compared to 0.75% at March 31, 2014 and 0.79% at December 31, 2014.

The Company’s net charge-offs increased to $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2015, including $3.8 million for non-purchased loans and leases and $1.3 million for purchased loans. The Company’s net charge-offs for non-purchased loans and leases increased in the quarter just ended primarily due to the Company’s sale of $15.9 million of performing loans, with deteriorating credit trends, from its Corporate Loan Specialties Group resulting in net charge-offs of $2.4 million. The Company’s net charge-offs for purchased loans increased in the quarter just ended, in part, due to the Company having previously terminated the loss share agreements on its FDIC-assisted acquisitions. The Company’s net charge-offs were $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2014, including $0.2 million for non-purchased loans and leases and $0.2 million for purchased loans.

The Company’s annualized net charge-off ratio for its non-purchased loans and leases increased to 0.37% for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 0.03% for the first quarter of 2014 and 0.12% for the full year of 2014. The Company’s annualized net charge-off ratio for its purchased loans increased to 0.32% for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 0.11% for the first quarter of 2014 and 0.29% for the full year of 2014. The Company’s annualized net charge-off ratio for all loans and leases increased to 0.36% for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 0.05% for the first quarter of 2014 and 0.16% for the full year of 2014.

For the first quarter of 2015, the Company’s provision for loan and lease losses was $6.3 million, including $5.0 million for non-purchased loans and leases and $1.3 million for purchased loans. For the first quarter of 2014, the Company’s provision for loan and lease losses was $1.3 million, including $1.1 million for non-purchased loans and leases and $0.2 million for purchased loans.

The Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses was $54.1 million, or 1.26% of total non-purchased loans and leases, at March 31, 2015, compared to $43.9 million, or 1.58% of total non-purchased loans and leases, at March 31, 2014, and $52.9 million, or 1.33% of total non-purchased loans and leases, at December 31, 2014.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, specifically return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per common share and ratio of total tangible common stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets, as important measures of the strength of its capital and its ability to generate earnings on its tangible capital invested by its shareholders. These measures typically adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude intangible assets. Management believes presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information that contributes to a proper understanding of the financial results and capital levels of the Company. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release under the caption “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
