Cardinal Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: CFNL) (the “Company”) today announced earnings of $8.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014. For the six month year to date period, earnings were $12.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share. This compares to earnings of $9.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, and $17.0 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the comparable three and six month periods of 2013. Earlier this year, the Company acquired United Financial Banking Companies, Inc. (UFBC), and for the quarter and year to date, the Company incurred $2.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of expenses related to this merger and to the conversion of back office systems. The after-tax impact of these expenses was $0.05 per share for the current quarter and $0.12 per share year to date. Without these expenses, the Company had adjusted quarterly earnings of $10.0 million, or $0.31 per share, and year to date earnings of $16.5 million, or $0.51 per share.

Selected Highlights

  • Loans held for investment organically grew approximately $47 million during the quarter and $117 million year to date, or over 12% annualized. Asset quality remains excellent. Nonperforming loans were 0.19% of total assets, and the Company had net loan charge offs of 0.07% of average loans outstanding. The Company had $0 real estate owned at June 30, 2014, and $6.3 million of non-accruing loans.
  • Mortgage loan applications increased to $1.12 billion for the current quarter, up from $961 million for the previous quarter, an increase of 17%. Mortgage banking operations reported net income of $2.14 million for the current quarter versus a net loss of $167,000 and $1.6 million for the previous two quarters, respectively.
  • The company integrated UFBC’s systems in March. Quarterly and year to date income and expenses include the operations of the former UFBC since the January 16, 2014 combination.
  • All capital ratios exceed the requirements of banking regulators to be considered well-capitalized. Tangible common equity capital (TCE) as a percentage of total assets was 9.68% at June 30, 2014.

United Financial Banking Companies Acquisition

On January 16, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of UFBC and its primary subsidiary, The Business Bank. During the quarter, the Company continued to incur legal and accounting costs, lease termination expenses, plus employee retention and severance payments related to this acquisition. These expenses totaled $2.4 million for the current quarter and $5.7 million year to date. Including costs incurred in 2013 prior to closing, total transaction and consolidation costs were approximately $7.0 million, which is consistent with the Company’s original estimate. Minor remaining transaction related expenses will be incurred in the second half of 2014. Our expectation of cost savings associated with the acquisition is approximately 60%, up from the 50% that was reported last quarter. Thus far the retention rate of acquired loans and deposits is approximately 98%. Four banking offices have been consolidated in the second quarter and two others will be consolidated before year end.

Review of Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2014, total assets of the Company were $3.28 billion, an increase of 13% from total assets of $2.90 billion at June 30, 2013. Loans held for investment grew $535 million, or 29%, to $2.39 billion from $1.86 billion a year ago. Excluding the acquisition of UFBC, loans grew approximately $297 million, or 16%. Loans held for sale decreased to $360 million compared to $628 million at June 30, 2013. Deposit balances increased $331 million to $2.44 billion at June 30, 2014 versus $2.10 billion at June 30, 2013. Non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts (DDAs) increased to $583 million and now represent 24% of total deposits. Organic DDA growth was $92 million, an increase of 23% from a year ago.

Year to date, loans held for investment organically grew approximately $117 million, or over 12% annualized. For the current quarter, loan growth was approximately $47 million, or 8% annualized, and DDA growth was $49 million, representing a 36% annualized increase.

Commercial Banking Segment Income Review

For the current quarter ended June 30, 2014, net income for the commercial banking segment was $7.7 million. Before the merger and conversion expenses incurred during the current quarter, net income was $9.2 million compared to $8.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Included in the current period results is a provision for loan losses of $615,000 versus a negative provision for loan losses of $132,000 for the second quarter 2013. The increase to the provision for loan loss expense for the current quarter resulted from modest charge offs plus appropriately adding to the allowance for loan growth. Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, before M&A expenses, were $14.4 million for the current quarter, versus $12.5 million for the year ago quarter.

For the comparable six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, net income was $13.2 million versus $17.5 million. Before the current year merger and conversion expenses, net income was $16.6 million, which includes a provision for loan losses of $2.5 million. The first six months of 2013 included a negative provision of $674,000. Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, before M&A expenses, were $27.5 million for the 2014 year to date period, versus $25.6 million for the 2013 year to date period.

Net interest income for the current quarter and year to date was $26.3 million and $51.5 million, respectively, versus $21.9 million and $44.3 million for the same periods in 2013. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.63% for the current quarter and 3.62% year to date versus 3.41% and 3.38% for the same respective periods of last year. The contribution of the assets and liabilities from UFBC added approximately $2.3 million for the current quarter and $4.6 million year to date to net interest income, and 0.03% to the margin for the current quarter.

Comparing the current quarter to the same quarter of 2013, the average balance of loans held for sale decreased $161 million and the average loans held for investment balances increased $580 million. The average balance of investments grew $97 million, and the yield on total interest earning assets increased to 4.32% from 4.25%. Over this same period, average deposit balances increased $288 million and the average balance of other borrowed funds increased $81 million. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.96% from 1.11%. The acquisition of UFBC added approximately $240 million to average loan balances and approximately $290 million to average deposit balances, and the yield on loans was enhanced 0.05% while the overall cost of funds decreased by approximately 0.02%.

The allowance for loan losses was 1.24% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, versus 1.45% at June 30, 2013. This ratio decrease from a year ago is primarily the result of the addition of $238 million of acquired loans that, under purchase accounting, were recorded at fair value. The allowance for loan losses on the Company’s legacy portfolio was 1.37% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2014. The Company’s nonperforming assets were 0.19% of total assets at June 30, 2014 compared to 0.16% at March 31, 2014 and 0.10% at June 30, 2013. For the current quarter, there were modest net charge offs equal to 0.07% of average loans outstanding, compared to 0.12% for the previous quarter and net recoveries of 0.01% for the year ago quarter.

Non-interest income was $936,000 for the current quarter and $1.9 million year to date, compared to $728,000 for the year ago quarter and $1.5 million for the year to date period ended June 30, 2013. The UFBC transaction added approximately $199,000 to non-interest income during 2014.

Non-interest expense was $15.2 million for the current quarter versus $10.1 million for the year ago quarter ended June 30, 2013. Before the merger and conversion expenses mentioned above, non-interest expense was $12.9 million, and the bank’s efficiency ratio was 47.3%. Approximately $960,000 of the expense increase from the year ago quarter is attributable to expenses associated with the former UFBC. We expect this will be reduced to approximately $900,000 per quarter going forward. The Company also incurred $193,000 of intangible expense amortization as a result of the transaction. Another $284,000 of the expense increase resulted from the Company adding two banking offices in the latter half of 2013. The remaining expense increase was incurred to support the Company’s business initiatives.

Mortgage Banking Segment Income Review

For the current quarter ended June 30, 2014, net income for the mortgage banking segment was $2.1 million versus net income of $2.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, and a net loss of $167,000 for the previous quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Net gains from mortgage banking activities were $10.2 million for the most recent quarter versus $11.2 million for the year ago quarter and $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2014. The net gains from mortgage banking activities for the current quarter increased $4.0 million as a result of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 109. For the year ago quarter and the previous quarter, the SAB 109 adjustment to unrealized gains was a decrease of $1.3 million, and an increase of $3.6 million, respectively, that impacted reported income. Before the accounting impact of SAB 109, adjusted net gains from mortgage banking activities were $6.2 million for the current quarter versus $12.5 million for the year ago quarter and $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2014.

Loan applications totaled $1.12 billion during the second quarter of 2014, up from $961 million for the previous quarter. April, May and June applications totaled $393 million, $393 million and $334 million, respectively. Purchase money applications continue to remain strong at 83% of total volume compared to 66% for the second quarter 2013. During the current quarter, closed loans were $842 million and loans sold to investors totaled $744 million, versus $551 million and $562 million, respectively, for the previous quarter of 2014. The margin on loans sold to investors was 2.30%, up from 2.17% for the previous quarter and 2.19% for the same quarter a year ago. Approximately one-third of the quarterly production is FHA/VA lending, contributing to the positive trend in gain on sale margin.

For the current quarter, reported non-interest expense was $7.7 million. This compares to $9.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and to $8.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. A portion of fixed salary expense associated with loan closings each quarter is accounted for as an offset to income, similar to commissions and incentives. As loan closings increased during the current quarter, the salary expense reclassified as contra-revenue against net gain on sale income increased to $2.3 million, versus $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $2.6 million for the year ago quarter. Without the reclassification of these salary expenses, core non-interest expense declined to $10.0 million for the current quarter, versus $10.1 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $11.9 million for the same quarter of 2013. For these same periods, core salary and benefit expense was $5.9 million, $6.2 million and $7.1 million. The decrease is a direct result of a 21% reduction in the non loan officer workforce since last September.

The Company is continuing to take actions to return its mortgage banking segment to meaningful profitability with each expense category being monitored, analyzed and measured in relation to production expectations.

Capital Ratios

Subsequent to the acquisition of UFBC, the Company remains in excess of regulatory standards of a well capitalized bank. The tier 1 capital ratio is 11.13% and the total risk based capital ratio is 12.13%.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Bernard H. Clineburg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said:

“This quarter’s results again include solid earnings in the commercial banking segment and ongoing pristine credit quality metrics. We also saw a rebound in mortgage banking activity as production volumes have increased from the first quarter. The environment for mortgage banking earnings remains challenging, and we continue to closely monitor current and expected future loan originations.

“During the first half of the year, we also successfully integrated the former UFBC, creating revenue opportunities and operating efficiencies. We consolidated four banking offices, yet maintained over 98% retention of both the UFBC loan and deposit balances, attesting to our successful integration process and the acceptance of the Cardinal brand. Our organic loan and deposit growth continued to be strong as we attracted new clients and expanded existing relationships.

As always, we will continue to concentrate on gaining profitable market share, either through de novo expansion or acquisition, which will increase our franchise value. We remain committed to building and maintaining a strong financial services company for our shareholders, employees, clients and the communities we serve.”

**
Per the accounting guidance set forth by SEC Staff Accounting Bulleting (SAB) #109 regarding mortgage lending activities, the fair value of a "locked" commitment, or an unrealized gain, is recognized in income on the day of the locked commitment (LC). As a result of this revenue recognition, the unrealized gains then become part of the basis of the ensuing loan held for sale (LHFS) when the loan is closed. When the loan is sold to investors, the “price" received is equal to the basis of the loan held for sale, and there is no gain or loss recognized. At any point in time (e.g. quarter end) the fair value of the LCs and the premium to the par value of LHFS represent unrealized gains that have been recognized in income, either in the current period or prior periods. This accounting creates a mismatch between the income recognition on loan production and expense recognition for those same loans, which is discussed below.
 
In accordance with accounting rules (formally FAS 91), direct (e.g. commissions) and indirect loan expenses associated with originating, underwriting and closing loans are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan. In mortgage banking, this results in the mentioned expenses being recognized at the time of investor purchase of the loan (i.e. loan sale date) which often occurs in the quarter subsequent to the original LC and creates a mismatch in the timing of the revenue and expense. These expenses are “netted” from the gain on sale from mortgage banking activities, which is included in non-interest income.
