Diluted earnings per common share for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $0.43, a 30.3% increase from $0.33 for the fourth quarter of 2013.
For the full year of 2014, net income was a record $118.6 million, a 30.0% increase from $91.2 million for the full year of 2013. Diluted earnings per common share for 2014 were $1.52, a 20.6% increase from $1.26 for 2013.
During the last six quarters, the Company has completed three acquisitions including its July 2013 acquisition of The First National Bank of Shelby (“FNB Shelby”), its March 2014 acquisition of Bancshares, Inc. (“Bancshares”) and its May 2014 acquisition of Summit Bancorp, Inc. (“Summit”). On July 31, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger with Intervest Bancshares Corporation (“Intervest”). This transaction, which is subject to approval of the Intervest stockholders and other closing conditions, is expected to close on or about February 10, 2015.
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 annualized returns on average assets, average common stockholders’ equity and average tangible common stockholders’ equity for the fourth quarter of 2014 were 2.06%, 15.50% and 17.60%, respectively, compared to 2.02%, 15.62% and 16.13%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2013. Returns on average assets, average common stockholders’ equity and average tangible common stockholders’ equity for the full year of 2014 were 2.01%, 15.08% and 16.64%, respectively, compared to 2.14%, 16.28% and 16.73%, respectively, for the full year of 2013. The calculation of the Company’s return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity and the reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) is included in the schedules accompanying this release.
Non-purchased loans and leases were $3.98 billion at December 31, 2014, a 51.2% increase from $2.63 billion at December 31, 2013. Non-purchased loans and leases increased $341 million, or 9.4%, during the fourth quarter of 2014. Including purchased loans, total loans and leases were $5.13 billion at December 31, 2014, a 52.7% increase from $3.36 billion at December 31, 2013. Total loans and leases increased $209 million, or 4.2%, during the fourth quarter of 2014.
The unfunded balance of closed loans increased $380 million during the fourth quarter of 2014 and $1.76 billion during the full year of 2014. Such unfunded balance totaled $2.96 billion at December 31, 2014, compared to $1.21 billion at December 31, 2013.
George Gleason, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “2014 was an excellent year for our Company. We achieved record loan and lease growth, record growth of our unfunded balances of closed loans, record deposit growth, a robust net interest margin, an excellent net charge-off ratio, a favorable efficiency ratio, and excellent returns on average assets and stockholders’ equity. In fact, it was our fifth consecutive year of achieving a return on average assets in excess of 2.00%. We completed our Bancshares and Summit acquisitions in March and May, and we announced our pending Intervest acquisition in July. We selected Fiserv Premier as our new core operating system and completed the conversions of our legacy, Bancshares and Summit systems. In the fourth quarter, we entered into agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation terminating the loss share agreements on all seven of our FDIC-assisted acquisitions. Our outstanding team of bankers was, once again, hitting on all cylinders.”
Deposits were $5.50 billion at December 31, 2014, a 47.9% increase compared to $3.72 billion at December 31, 2013.
Total assets were $6.77 billion at December 31, 2014, a 41.2% increase compared to $4.79 billion at December 31, 2013.
Common stockholders’ equity was $908 million at December 31, 2014, a 44.4% increase from $629 million at December 31, 2013. Tangible common stockholders’ equity was $803 million at December 31, 2014, a 31.6% increase from $610 million at December 31, 2013. Book value per common share was $11.37 at December 31, 2014, a 33.3% increase from $8.53 at December 31, 2013. Tangible book value per common share was $10.04 at December 31, 2014, a 21.4% increase from $8.27 at December 31, 2013. 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.
Changes in common stockholders’ equity, tangible common stockholders’ equity, book value per common share and tangible book value per common share reflect earnings, dividends paid, stock option and stock grant transactions, stock consideration issued in connection with the Company’s Summit acquisition, changes in the Company’s mark-to-market adjustment for unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale and, for tangible common stockholders’ equity and tangible book value per share, changes in intangible assets.
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company revised its initial estimates regarding the expected recovery of acquired assets with built-in losses in the FNB Shelby acquisition, specifically the timing and amount of expected charge-offs of purchased loans. As a result of such revision, the Company concluded that the previously established deferred tax asset valuation allowance of approximately $4.1 million was not necessary. Because such revision occurred during the first 12 months following the date of acquisition and was not the result of changes in circumstances, the Company recast its third quarter 2013 financial statements, along with all subsequent financial statements, to increase the bargain purchase gain on the FNB Shelby acquisition by $4.1 million, or approximately $0.05 of diluted earnings per common share, to reflect this change in estimate.
The Company’s ratio of common stockholders’ equity to total assets was 13.42% at December 31, 2014, compared to 13.13% at December 31, 2013. Its ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets was 12.05% at December 31, 2014, compared to 12.78% at December 31, 2013. The calculation of the Company’s ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets and the reconciliation to GAAP is included in the schedules accompanying this release.

ASSET QUALITY, CHARGE-OFFS AND ALLOWANCE
Purchased loans include loans acquired in FDIC-assisted and other acquisitions. Purchased loans that contain evidence of credit deterioration on the date of purchase are initially recorded at fair value and are presented in the Company’s financial reports with a carrying value equal to the net present value of expected future proceeds. Other purchased loans are initially recorded at fair value on the date of purchase and are presented in the Company’s financial reports at their initial fair value, adjusted for subsequent advances, pay downs, amortization or accretion of any premium or discount on purchase, charge-offs and any other adjustments to carrying value.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per common share, the ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets and return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity, 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.
